The user interfaces may include one or more soft keyboard embodiments. The soft keyboard embodiments may include standard (QWERTY) and/or non-standard configurations of symbols on the displayed icons of the keyboard, such as those described in U.S. Patent Applications 11/459,606, "Keyboards For Portable Electronic Devices," filed July 24, 2006 , and 11/459,615, "Touch Screen Keyboards For Portable Electronic Devices," filed July 24, 2006 , the contents of which are hereby incorporated by reference. The keyboard embodiments may include a reduced number of icons (or soft keys) relative to the number of keys in existing physical keyboards, such as that for a typewriter. This may make it easier for users to select one or more icons in the keyboard, and thus, one or more corresponding symbols. The keyboard embodiments may be adaptive. For example, displayed icons may be modified in accordance with user actions, such as selecting one or more icons and/or one or more corresponding symbols. One or more applications on the portable device may utilize common and/or different keyboard embodiments. Thus, the keyboard embodiment used may be tailored to at least some of the applications. In some embodiments, one or more keyboard embodiments may be tailored to a respective user. For example, one or more keyboard embodiments may be tailored to a respective user based on a word usage history (lexicography, slang, individual usage) of the respective user. Some of the keyboard embodiments may be adjusted to reduce a probability of a user error when selecting one or more icons, and thus one or more symbols, when using the soft keyboard embodiments.
Attention is now directed towards embodiments of the device. Figures 1A and 1B are block diagrams illustrating portable multifunction devices 100 with touch-sensitive displays 112 in accordance with some embodiments. The touch-sensitive display 112 is sometimes called a "touch screen" for convenience, and may also be known as or called a touch-sensitive display system. The device 100 may include a memory 102 (which may include one or more computer readable storage mediums), a memory controller 122, one or more processing units (CPU's) 120, a peripherals interface 118, RF circuitry 108, audio circuitry 110, a speaker 111, a microphone 113, an input/output (I/O) subsystem 106, other input or control devices 116, and an external port 124. The device 100 may include one or more optical sensors 164. These components may communicate over one or more communication buses or signal lines 103.
It should be appreciated that the device 100 is only one example of a portable multifunction device 100, and that the device 100 may have more or fewer components than shown, may combine two or more components, or a may have a different configuration or arrangement of the components. The various components shown in Figures 1A and 1B may be implemented in hardware, software or a combination of both hardware and software, including one or more signal processing and/or application specific integrated circuits.
The I/O subsystem 106 couples input/output peripherals on the device 100, such as the touch screen 112 and other input/control devices 116, to the peripherals interface 118. The I/O subsystem 106 may include a display controller 156 and one or more input controllers 160 for other input or control devices. The one or more input controllers 160 receive/send electrical signals from/to other input or control devices 116. The other input/control devices 116 may include physical buttons (e.g., push buttons, rocker buttons, etc.), dials, slider switches, joysticks, click wheels, and so forth. In some alternate embodiments, input controller(s) 160 may be coupled to any (or none) of the following: a keyboard, infrared port, USB port, and a pointer device such as a mouse. The one or more buttons (e.g., 208, Figure 2) may include an up/down button for volume control of the speaker 111 and/or the microphone 113. The one or more buttons may include a push button (e.g., 206, Figure 2). A quick press of the push button may disengage a lock of the touch screen 112 or begin a process that uses gestures on the touch screen to unlock the device, as described in U.S. Patent Application 11/322,549, "Unlocking a Device by Performing Gestures on an Unlock Image," filed December 23, 2005 , which is hereby incorporated by reference. A longer press of the push button (e.g., 206) may turn power to the device 100 on or off. The user may be able to customize a functionality of one or more of the buttons. The touch screen 112 is used to implement virtual or soft buttons and one or more soft keyboards.
A touch-sensitive display in some embodiments of the touch screen 112 may be analogous to the multi-touch sensitive tablets described in the following U.S. Patents: 6,323,846 (Westerman et al. ), 6,570,557 (Westerman et al. ), and/or 6,677,932 (Westerman ), and/or U.S. Patent Publication 2002/0015024A1 , each of which is hereby incorporated by reference. However, a touch screen 112 displays visual output from the portable device 100, whereas touch sensitive tablets do not provide visual output.
A touch-sensitive display in some embodiments of the touch screen 112 may be as described in the following applications: (1) U.S. Patent Application No. 11/381,313, "Multipoint Touch Surface Controller," filed May 2, 2006 ; (2) U.S. Patent Application No. 10/840,862, "Multipoint Touchscreen," filed May 6, 2004 ; (3) U.S. Patent Application No. 10/903,964, "Gestures For Touch Sensitive Input Devices," filed July 30, 2004 ; (4) U.S. Patent Application No. 11/048,264, "Gestures For Touch Sensitive Input Devices," filed January 31, 2005 ; (5) U.S. Patent Application No. 11/038,590, "Mode-Based Graphical User Interfaces For Touch Sensitive Input Devices," filed January 18, 2005 ; (6) U.S. Patent Application No. 11/228,758, "Virtual Input Device Placement On A Touch Screen User Interface," filed September 16,2005 ; (7) U.S. Patent Application No. 11/228,700, "Operation Of A Computer With A Touch Screen Interface," filed September 16, 2005 ; (8) U.S. Patent Application No. 11/228,737, "Activating Virtual Keys Of A Touch-Screen Virtual Keyboard," filed September 16, 2005 ; and (9) U.S. Patent Application No. 11/367,749, "Multi-Functional Hand-Held Device," filed March 3, 2006 . All of these applications are incorporated by reference herein.
The touch screen 112 may have a resolution in excess of 100 dpi. In an exemplary embodiment, the touch screen has a resolution of approximately 160 dpi. The user may make contact with the touch screen 112 using any suitable object or appendage, such as a stylus, a finger, and so forth. In some embodiments, the user interface is designed to work primarily with finger-based contacts and gestures, which are much less precise than stylusbased input due to the larger area of contact of a finger on the touch screen. In some embodiments, the device translates the rough finger-based input into a precise pointer/cursor position or command for performing the actions desired by the user.
The device 100 may also include one or more optical sensors 164. Figures 1A and 1B show an optical sensor coupled to an optical sensor controller 158 in I/O subsystem 106. The optical sensor 164 may include charge-coupled device (CCD) or complementary metal-oxide semiconductor (CMOS) phototransistors. The optical sensor 164 receives light from the environment, projected through one or more lens, and converts the light to data representing an image. In conjunction with an imaging module 143 (also called a camera module), the optical sensor 164 may capture still images or video. In some embodiments, an optical sensor is located on the back of the device 100, opposite the touch screen display 112 on the front of the device, so that the touch screen display may be used as a viewfinder for either still and/or video image acquisition. In some embodiments, an optical sensor is located on the front of the device so that the user's image may be obtained for videoconferencing while the user views the other video conference participants on the touch screen display. In some embodiments, the position of the optical sensor 164 can be changed by the user (e.g., by rotating the lens and the sensor in the device housing) so that a single optical sensor 164 may be used along with the touch screen display for both video conferencing and still and/or video image acquisition.
The device 100 may also include one or more proximity sensors 166. Figures 1A and 1B show a proximity sensor 166 coupled to the peripherals interface 118. Alternately, the proximity sensor 166 may be coupled to an input controller 160 in the I/O subsystem 106. The proximity sensor 166 may perform as described in U.S. Patent Application Serial No. 11/241,839, "Proximity Detector In Handheld Device," filed September 30, 2005 ; Scrial No. 11/240,788, "Proximity Detector In Handheld Device," filed September 30, 2005 ; Serial No. to be assigned, filed January 7, 2007, "Using Ambient Light Sensor To Augment Proximity Sensor Output," attorney docket no. 04860.P4851US; Serial No. to be assigned, filed October 24, 2006, "Automated Response To And Sensing Of User Activity In Portable Devices," attorney docket no. 04860.P4293; and Serial No. to be assigned, filed December 12, 2006, "Methods And Systems For Automatic Configuration Of Peripherals," attorney docket no. 04860.P4293, which are hereby incorporated by reference. In some embodiments, the proximity sensor turns off and disables the touch screen 112 when the multifunction device is placed near the user's ear (e.g., when the user is making a phone call). In some embodiments, the proximity sensor keeps the screen off when the device is in the user's pocket, purse, or other dark area to prevent unnecessary battery drainage when the device is a locked state.
The device 100 may also include one or more accelerometers 168. Figures 1A and 1B show an accelerometer 168 coupled to the peripherals interface 118. Alternately, the accelerometer 168 may be coupled to an input controller 160 in the I/O subsystem 106. The accelerometer 168 may perform as described in U.S. Patent Publication No. 20050190059 , "Acceleration-based Theft Detection System for Portable Electronic Devices," and U.S. Patent Publication No. 20060017692 , "Methods And Apparatuses For Operating A Portable Device Based On An Accelerometer," both of which are which are incorporated herein by reference. In some embodiments, information is displayed on the touch screen display in a portrait view or a landscape view based on an analysis of data received from the one or more accelerometers.
The text input module 134, which may be a component of graphics module 132, provides soft keyboards for entering text in various applications (e.g., contacts 137, e-mail 140, TM 141, blogging 142, browser 147, and any other application that needs text input).
Each of the above identified modules and applications correspond to a set of instructions for performing one or more functions described above. These modules (i.e., sets of instructions) need not be implemented as separate software programs, procedures or modules, and thus various subsets of these modules may be combined or otherwise rearranged in various embodiments. For example, video player module 145 may be combined with music player module 146 into a single module (e.g., video and music player module 152, Figure 1B). In some embodiments, memory 102 may store a subset of the modules and data structures identified above. Furthermore, memory 102 may store additional modules and data structures not described above.
Figure 2 illustrates a portable multifunction device 100 having a touch screen 112 in accordance with some embodiments. The touch screen may display one or more graphics within user interface (UI) 200. In this embodiment, as well as others described below, a user may select one or more of the graphics by making contact or touching the graphics, for example, with one or more fingers 202 (not drawn to scale in the figure). In some embodiments, selection of one or more graphics occurs when the user breaks contact with the one or more graphics. In some embodiments, the contact may include a gesture, such as one or more taps, one or more swipes (from left to right, right to left, upward and/or downward) and/or a rolling of a finger (from right to left, left to right, upward and/or downward) that has made contact with the device 100. In some embodiments, inadvertent contact with a graphic may not select the graphic. For example, a swipe gesture that sweeps over an application icon may not select the corresponding application when the gesture corresponding to selection is a tap.
In some embodiments, the device detects contact with the touch-sensitive display (e.g., a user's finger making contact on or near the unlock image 302) while the device is in a user-interface lock state. The device moves the unlock image 302 in accordance with the contact. The device transitions to a user-interface unlock state if the detected contact corresponds to a predefined gesture, such as moving the unlock image across channel 306. Conversely, the device maintains the user-interface lock state if the detected contact does not correspond to the predefined gesture. As noted above, processes that use gestures on the touch screen to unlock the device are described in U.S. Patent Applications 11/322,549, "Unlocking A Device By Performing Gestures On An Unlock Image," filed December 23, 2005 , and 11/322,550, "Indication Of Progress Towards Satisfaction Of A User Input Condition," filed December 23,2005 , which are hereby incorporated by reference.
Figures 4A and 4B illustrate exemplary user interfaces for a menu of applications on a portable multifunction device in accordance with some embodiments. In some embodiments, user interface 400A includes the following elements, or a subset or superset thereof:
In some embodiments, user interfaces 3900A-3900M (in Figures 5A-5M, respectively) include the following elements, or a subset or superset thereof:
New window icon 3922 that when activated (e.g., by a finger tap on the icon) initiates display of a UI for adding new windows to the browser (e.g., UI 3900G, Figure 5G);
Vertical bar 3962 (Figure 5H) for the web page 3912 or other structured document that helps a user understand what portion of the web page 3912 or other structured document is being displayed;
Horizontal bar 3964 (Figure 5H) for the web page 3912 or other structured document that helps a user understand what portion of the web page 3912 or other structured document is being displayed;
Share icon 3966 that when activated (e.g., by a finger tap on the icon) initiates display of a UI for sharing information with other users (e.g., UI 3900K, Figure 5K);
URL clear icon 3970 (Figure 5I) that when activated (e.g., by a finger tap on the icon) clears any input in URL entry box 3908;
Search term entry box 3972 (Figure 5I) for inputting search terms for web searches;
URL suggestion list 3974 that displays URLs that match the input in URL entry box 3908 (Figure 5I), wherein activation of a suggested URL (e.g., by a finger tap on the suggested URL) initiates retrieval of the corresponding web page;
URL input keyboard 3976 (Figures 5I and 5M) with period key 3978, backslash key 3980, and ".com" key 3982 that make it easier to enter common characters in URLs;
Email link icon 3986 (Figure 5K) that when activated (e.g., by a finger tap or other gesture on the icon) prepares an email that contains a link to be shared with one or more other users;
Email content icon 3988 (Figure 5K) that when activated (e.g., by a finger tap or other gesture on the icon) prepares an email that contains content to be shared with one or more other users;
IM Link icon 3990 (Figure 5K) that when activated (e.g., by a finger tap or other gesture on the icon) prepares an IM that contains a link to be shared with one or more other users; and
Cancel icon 3992 (Figure 5K) that when activated (e.g., by a finger tap or other gesture on the icon) cancels the sharing UI (e.g., UI 3900K, Figure 5K) and displays the previous UI.
In some embodiments, in response to a predefined gesture by the user on a block 3914 (e.g., a single tap gesture or a double tap gesture), the block is enlarged and centered (or substantially centered) in the web page display. For example, in response to a single tap gesture 3923 on block 3914-5, block 3914-5 may be enlarged and centered in the display, as shown in UI 3900C, Figure 5C. In some embodiments, the width of the block is scaled to fill the touch screen display. In some embodiments, the width of the block is scaled to fill the touch screen display with a predefined amount of padding along the sides of the display. In some embodiments, a zooming animation of the block is displayed during enlargement of the block. Similarly, in response to a single tap gesture 3925 on block 3914-2, block 3914-2 may be enlarged with a zooming animation and two-dimensionally scrolled to the center of the display (not shown).
In some embodiments, in response to the same predefined gesture by the user on a block 3914 (e.g., a single tap gesture or a double tap gesture) that is already enlarged and centered, the enlargement and/or centering is substantially or completely reversed. For example, in response to a single tap gesture 3929 (Figure 5C) on block 3914-5, the web page image may zoom out and return to UI 3900A, Figure 5A.
In some embodiments, in response to a predefined gesture (e.g., a single tap gesture or a double tap gesture) by the user on a block 3914 that is already enlarged but not centered, the block is centered (or substantially centered) in the web page display. For example, in response to a single tap gesture 3927 (Figure 5C) on block 3914-4, block 3914-4 may be centered (or substantially centered) in the web page display. Similarly, in response to a single tap gesture 3935 (Figure 5C) on block 3914-6, block 3914-6 may be centered (or substantially centered) in the web page display. Thus, for a web page display that is already enlarged, in response to a predefined gesture, the device may display in an intuitive manner a series of blocks that the user wants to view. This same gesture may initiate different actions in different contexts (e.g., (1) zooming and/or enlarging in combination with scrolling when the web page is reduced in size, UI 3900A and (2) reversing the enlargement and/or centering if the block is already centered and enlarged).
In some embodiments, in response to a multi-touch 3931 and 3933 depinching gesture by the user (Figure 5C), the web page may be enlarged. Conversely, in response to a multi-touch pinching gesture by the user, the web page may be reduced.
Conversely, in some embodiments, in response to a swipe gesture that is not within a predetermined angle (e.g., 27°) of being perfectly vertical, the web page may scroll two-dimensionally (i.e., with simultaneous movement in both the vertical and horizontal directions). For example, in response to an upward swipe gesture 3939 (Figure 5C) by the user that is not within a predetermined angle (e.g., 27°) of being perfectly vertical, the web page may scroll two-dimensionally along the direction of the swipe 3939.
In some embodiments, in response to a multi-touch 3941 and 3943 rotation gesture by the user (Figure 5C), the web page may be rotated exactly 90° (UI 3900D, Figure 5D) for landscape viewing, even if the amount of rotation in the multi-touch 3941 and 3943 rotation gesture is substantially different from 90°. Similarly, in response to a multi-touch 3945 and 3947 rotation gesture by the user (UI 3900D, Figure 5D), the web page may be rotated exactly 90° for portrait viewing, even if the amount of rotation in the multi-touch 3945 and 3947 rotation gesture is substantially different from 90°.
Thus, in response to imprecise gestures by the user, precise movements of graphics occur. The device behaves in the manner desired by the user despite inaccurate input by the user. Also, note that the gestures described for UI 3900C, which has a portrait view, are also applicable to UIs with a landscape view (e.g., UI 3900D, Figure 5D) so that the user can choose whichever view the user prefers for web browsing.
Figures 6A-6C are flow diagrams illustrating a process 6000 for displaying structured electronic documents such as web pages on a portable electronic device with a touch screen display (e.g., device 100) in accordance with some embodiments. The portable electronic device displays at least a portion of a structured electronic document on the touch screen display. The structured electronic document comprises a plurality of boxes of content (e.g., blocks 3914, Figure 5A) (6006).
In some embodiments, the plurality of boxes is defined by a style sheet language. In some embodiments, the style sheet language is a cascading style sheet language. In some embodiments, the structured electronic document is a web page (e.g., web page 3912, Figure 5A). In some embodiments, the structured electronic document is an HTML or XML document.
In some embodiments, the touch screen display is rectangular with a short axis and a long axis (also called the minor axis and major axis); the display width corresponds to the short axis (or minor axis) when the structured electronic document is seen in portrait view (e.g., Figure 5C); and the display width corresponds to the long axis (or major axis) when the structured electronic document is seen in landscape view (e.g., Figure 5D).
A first gesture is detected at a location on the displayed portion of the structured electronic document (e.g., gesture 3923, Figure 5A) (6010). In some embodiments, the first gesture is a finger gesture. In some embodiments, the first gesture is a stylus gesture.
A first box (e.g., Block 5 3914-5, Figure 5A) in the plurality of boxes is determined at the location of the first gesture (6012). In some embodiments, the structured electronic document has an associated render tree with a plurality of nodes and determining the first box at the location of the first gesture comprises: traversing down the render tree to determine a first node in the plurality of nodes that corresponds to the detected location of the first gesture (6014); traversing up the render tree from the first node to a closest parent node that contains a logical grouping of content (6016); and identifying content corresponding to the closest parent node as the first box (6018). In some embodiments, the logical grouping of content comprises a paragraph, an image, a plugin object, or a table. In some embodiments, the closest parent node is a replaced inline, a block, an inline block, or an inline table.
The first box is enlarged and substantially centered on the touch screen display (e.g., Block 5 3914-5, Figure 5C) (6020). In some embodiments, enlarging and substantially centering comprises simultaneously zooming and translating the first box on the touch screen display (6022). In some embodiments, enlarging comprises expanding the first box so that the width of the first box is substantially the same as the width of the touch screen display (6024).
In some embodiments, text in the structured electronic document is resized to meet or exceed a predetermined minimum text size on the touch screen display (6026; Figure 6B). In some embodiments, the text resizing comprises: determining a scale factor by which the first box will be enlarged (6028); dividing the predetermined minimum text size on the touch screen display by the scaling factor to determine a minimum text size for text in the structured electronic document (6030); and if a text size for text in the structured electronic document is less than the determined minimum text size, increasing the text size for text in the structured electronic document to at least the determined minimum text size (6032). In some embodiments, the text resizing comprises: identifying boxes containing text in the plurality of boxes; determining a scale factor by which the first box will be enlarged; dividing the predetermined minimum text size on the touch screen display by the scaling factor to determine a minimum text size for text in the structured electronic document; and for each identified box containing text, if a text size for text in the identified box is less than the determined minimum text size, increasing the text size for text in the identified box to at least the determined minimum text size and adjusting the size of the identified box to accommodate the resized text.
In some embodiments, a second gesture (e.g., gesture 3929, Figure 5C) is detected on the enlarged first box (6034). In response to detecting the second gesture, the displayed portion of the structured electronic document is reduced in size (6036). In some embodiments, the first box returns to its size prior to being enlarged (6038).
In some embodiments, while the first box is enlarged, a third gesture (e.g., gesture 3927 or gesture 3935, Figure 5C) is detected on a second box other than the first box (6040). In response to detecting the third gesture, the second box is substantially centered on the touch screen display (6042). In some embodiments, the third gesture and the first gesture are the same type of gesture. In some embodiments, the third gesture is a finger gesture. In some embodiments, the third gesture is a stylus gesture.
In some embodiments, a swipe gesture (e.g., gesture 3937 or gesture 3939, Figure 5C) is detected on the touch screen display (6044; Figure 6C). In response to detecting the swipe gesture, the displayed portion of the structured electronic document is translated on the touch screen display (6046). In some embodiments, the translating comprises vertical, horizontal, or diagonal movement of the structured electronic document on the touch screen display (6048). In some embodiments, the swipe gesture is a finger gesture. In some embodiments, the swipe gesture is a stylus gesture.
In some embodiments, a fifth gesture (e.g., multi-touch gesture 3941/3943, Figure 5C) is detected on the touch screen display (6050). In response to detecting the fifth gesture, the displayed portion of the structured electronic document is rotated on the touch screen display by 90° (6052). In some embodiments, the fifth gesture is a finger gesture. In some embodiments, the fifth gesture is a multifinger gesture. In some embodiments, the fifth gesture is a twisting gesture.
In some embodiments, a change in orientation of the device is detected (6054). For example, the one or more accelerometers 168 (Figures 1A-1B) detect a change in orientation of the device. In response to detecting the change in orientation of the device, the displayed portion of the structured electronic document is rotated on the touch screen display by 90° (6056).
In some embodiments, a multi-finger de-pinch gesture (e.g., multi-touch gesture 3931/3933, Figure 5C) is detected on the touch screen display (6058). In response to detecting the multi-finger de-pinch gesture, a portion of the displayed portion of the structured electronic document is enlarged on the touch screen display in accordance with a position of the multi-finger de-pinch gesture and an amount of finger movement in the multi-finger de-pinch gesture (6060).
A graphical user interface (e.g., UI 3900A, Figure 5A) on a portable electronic device with a touch screen display comprises at least a portion of a structured electronic document (e.g., web page 3912, Figure 5A). The structured electronic document comprises a plurality of boxes of content (e.g., blocks 3914, Figure 5A). In response to detecting a first gesture (e.g., gesture 3923, Figure 5A) at a location on the portion of the structured electronic document, a first box (e.g., Block 5 3914-5, Figure 5A) in the plurality of boxes at the location of the first gesture is determined and the first box is enlarged and substantially centered on the touch screen display (e.g., Block 5 3914-5, Figure 5C).
In some embodiments, in response to a tap or other predefined user gesture on URL entry box 3908, the touch screen displays an enlarged entry box 3926 and a keyboard 616 (e.g., UI 3900B, Figure 5B in portrait viewing and UI 3900E, Figure 5E in landscape viewing). In some embodiments, the touch screen also displays:
UI 3900G (Figure 5G) is a UI for adding new windows to an application, such as the browser 147. UI 3900G displays an application (e.g., the browser 147), which includes a displayed window (e.g., web page 3912-2) and at least one hidden window (e.g., web pages 3912-1 and 3934-3 and possibly other web pages that are completely hidden off-screen). UI 3900G also displays an icon for adding windows to the application (e.g., new window or new page icon 3936).

Figure 8 is a flow diagram illustrating a process 8000 for displaying inline multimedia content on a portable electronic device with a touch screen display (e.g., device 100) in accordance with some embodiments. The portable electronic device displays at least a portion of a structured electronic document on the touch screen display (8002). The structured electronic document comprises content (e.g., content 4002 and 4004, Figure 7A). In some embodiments, the structured electronic document is a web page (e.g., web page 3912). In some embodiments, the structured electronic document is an HTML or XML document.
A first gesture (e.g., gesture 4028, Figure 7A) is detected on an item of inline multimedia content (e.g., content 4002-1, Figure 7A) in the displayed portion of the structured electronic document (8004). In some embodiments, the inline multimedia content comprises video and/or audio content. In some embodiments, the content can be played with a QuickTime, Windows Media, or Flash plugin.
In response to detecting the first gesture, the item of inline multimedia content is enlarged on the touch screen display and other content (e.g., content 4004 and other content 4002 besides 4002-1, Figure 7A) in the structured electronic document besides the enlarged item of inline multimedia content ceases to be displayed (e.g., UI 4000B, Figure 7B or UI 4000F, Figure 7F) (8006).
In some embodiments, enlarging the item of inline multimedia content comprises animated zooming in on the item. In some embodiments, enlarging the item of inline multimedia content comprises simultaneously zooming and translating the item of inline multimedia content on the touch screen display. In some embodiments, enlarging the item of inline multimedia content comprises rotating the item of inline multimedia content by 90° (e.g., from UI 4000A, Figure 7A to UI 4000B, Figure 7B).
In some embodiments, enlarging the item of inline multimedia content comprises expanding the item of inline multimedia content so that the width of the item of inline multimedia content is substantially the same as the width of the touch screen display (e.g., UI 4000B, Figure 7B or UI 4000F, Figure 7F).
While the enlarged item of inline multimedia content is displayed, a second gesture is detected on the touch screen display (e.g., gesture 4030, Figure 7B) (8008).
In response to detecting the second gesture, one or more playback controls for playing the enlarged item of inline multimedia content are displayed (8010). In some embodiments, the one or more playback controls comprise a play icon (e.g., icon 4018, Figure 7C), a pause icon (e.g., icon 4024, Figure 7E), a sound volume icon (e.g., icon 4022), and/or a playback progress bar icon (e.g., icon 4010).
In some embodiments, displaying one or more playback controls comprises displaying one or more playback controls on top of the enlarged item of inline multimedia content (e.g., playback controls 4015, 4018, 4020, and 4022 are on top of enlarged inline multimedia content 4002-1 in Figure 7C). In some embodiments, the one or more playback controls are superimposed on top of the enlarged item of inline multimedia content. In some embodiments, the one or more playback controls are semitransparent.
A third gesture is detected on one of the playback controls (e.g., gesture 4026 on play icon 4018, Figure 7C) (8012).
In some embodiments, while the enlarged item of inline multimedia content is played, the one or more playback controls cease to be displayed (e.g., Figure 7D, which no longer displays playback controls 4016, 4018, 4020, and 4022, but still shows 4006, 4008, 4010, and 4012). In some embodiments, all of the playback controls cease to be displayed. In some embodiments, ceasing to display the one or more playback controls comprises fading out the one or more playback controls. In some embodiments, the display of the one or more playback controls is ceased after a predetermined time. In some embodiments, the display of the one or more playback controls is ceased after no contact is detected with the touch screen display for a predetermined time.
In some embodiments, a fourth gesture is detected on the touch screen display (8016). In response to detecting the fourth gesture, at least the portion of the structured electronic document is displayed again (e.g., Figure 7A) (8018). In some embodiments, the fourth gesture comprises a tap gesture on a playback completion icon, such as a done icon (e.g., gesture 4032 on done icon 4006, Figure 7D). In some embodiments, the item of inline multimedia content returns to its size prior to being enlarged.
