FIGS. 5A-5G illustrate exemplary user interfaces for a music and video player in accordance with some embodiments.
FIG. 7 is a flow diagram illustrating a process for modal change in a music play application based on device orientation in accordance with some embodiments.
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. Pat. Nos. 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 herein in its entirety. However, a touch screen 112 displays visual output from the portable device 100, whereas touch sensitive tablets do not provide visual output.
The device 100 may also include one or more proximity sensors 166. FIGS. 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 Ser. No. 11/241,839, “Proximity Detector In Handheld Device,” filed Sep. 30, 2005; Ser. No. 11/240,788, “Proximity Detector In Handheld Device,” filed Sep. 30, 2005; Ser. No. to be determined, filed Jan. 7, 2007 “Using Ambient Light Sensor To Augment Proximity Sensor Output,” attorney docket no. 04860.P4851US1; Ser. No. to be determined, filed Oct. 24, 2006, “Automated Response To And Sensing Of User Activity In Portable Devices,” attorney docket no. 04860.P4293; and Ser. No. to be determined, filed Dec. 12, 2006, “Methods And Systems For Automatic Configuration Of Peripherals,” attorney docket no. 04860.P4634, which are hereby incorporated by reference in their entirety. 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. FIGS. 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 incorporated by reference herein in their entirety. 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.
As illustrated in FIGS. 5A-5G and explained below, an application may change modes in response to a change in orientation of the device, with the two modes differing by more than a mere change in display orientation. As described in more detail below, in some embodiments, the two modes display different types of information (e.g., text versus images), and/or present the user with different options for utilizing the application.
FIG. 6A-6B are flow diagrams illustrating a process for modal change based on device orientation in accordance with some embodiments.
While the device is in the first orientation, an application is displayed (604) in a first mode on the touch screen display in a first view (e.g., a hierarchical list mode for selecting music as illustrated in FIG. 5A to FIG. 5E).
The device is detected (606) in a second orientation. In some embodiments, the first orientation and the second orientation are detected based on an analysis of data from one or more accelerometers (e.g., 168)(610). In some embodiments, the first orientation is rotated substantially 90° from the second orientation (e.g., by rotation 4392, FIG. 5E to FIG. 5F)(612).
In some embodiments, the first view is the portrait view (e.g., FIG. 5A to FIG. 5E) and the second view is the landscape view (e.g., FIG. 5F)(616). In some embodiments, substantially vertical finger gestures (e.g., swipe gesture 4377, FIG. 5D) on or near the touch screen display are used to navigate in the first mode and substantially horizontal finger gestures (e.g., swipe gesture 4399, FIG. 5F) on or near the touch screen display are used to navigate in the second mode (618).
In some embodiments, the application is a music player, the first mode is a hierarchical list mode for selecting music (e.g., FIG. 5A to “more list” 4362, FIG. 5B, to albums list 4371, FIG. 5C, to album content list FIG. 5D, to content, FIG. 5E), the first view is the portrait view, the second mode is a cover flow mode for selecting albums (e.g., FIG. 5F), and the second view is the landscape view (624). The cover flow mode and other image modes are described in U.S. Provisional Patent Application No. 60/843,832“Techniques And Systems For Browsing Media Content,” filed Sep. 11, 2006; U.S. patent application Ser. No. 11/519,460, “Media Manager With Integrated Browsers,” filed Sep. 11, 2006; and U.S. Provisional Patent Application No. to be determined, “Electronic Device With Image Based Browsing,” filed Jan. 5, 2007, which are hereby incorporated by reference herein in their entirety. In some embodiments, in response to detecting a finger gesture on an album cover (e.g., gesture 4388, FIG. 5F) or on an information icon (e.g., 4389, FIG. 5F), an image of the album cover is flipped over (e.g., an animation of the album cover flipping over is displayed) and information about tracks on the album is displayed (FIG. 5G).
FIG. 7 is a flow diagram illustrating a process 700 for modal change in a music player application based on device orientation in accordance with some embodiments. In some embodiments, process 700 occurs at a portable multifunction device with a rectangular touch screen display. The rectangular touch screen display includes a long axis, a short axis, a portrait view and a landscape view. As noted above, the rectangular touch screen display may optionally include rounded corners. The device is detected in a first orientation that comprises a substantially vertical orientation of the long axis (702). While the device is in the first orientation, a music player is displayed in a list mode on the touch screen display in the portrait view (704) (e.g. FIG. 5A). At another time, the device is detected in a second orientation that comprises a substantially vertical orientation of a short axis (706). In response to detecting the device in the second orientation, the music player is displayed in a cover flow mode on the touch screen display in the landscape view (708) (e.g. FIG. 5F).
at a portable multifunction device with a rectangular touch screen display that can be positioned so as to present the display in a portrait view or a landscape view:
