Other portable electronic devices, such as laptops or tablet computers with touch-sensitive surfaces (e.g., touch screen displays and/or touch pads), are, optionally, used. It should also be understood that, in some embodiments, the device is not a portable communications device, but is a desktop computer or a television with a touch-sensitive surface (e.g., a touch screen display and/or a touch pad). In some embodiments, the device does not have a touch screen display and/or a touch pad, but rather is capable of outputting display information (such as the user interfaces of the disclosure) for display on a separate display device, and capable of receiving input information from a separate input device having one or more input mechanisms (such as one or more buttons, a touch screen display and/or a touch pad). In some embodiments, the device has a display, but is capable of receiving input information from a separate input device having one or more input mechanisms (such as one or more buttons, a touch screen display and/or a touch pad). 
     In the discussion that follows, an electronic device that includes a display and a touch-sensitive surface is described. It should be understood, however, that the electronic device optionally includes one or more other physical user-interface devices, such as a physical keyboard, a mouse and/or a joystick. Further, as described above, it should be understood that the described electronic device, display and touch-sensitive surface are optionally distributed amongst two or more devices. Therefore, as used in this disclosure, information displayed on the electronic device or by the electronic device is optionally used to describe information outputted by the electronic device for display on a separate display device (touch-sensitive or not). Similarly, as used in this disclosure, input received on the electronic device (e.g., touch input received on a touch-sensitive surface of the electronic device) is optionally used to describe input received on a separate input device, from which the electronic device receives input information. 
     The device typically supports a variety of applications, such as one or more of the following: a drawing application, a presentation application, a word processing application, a website creation application, a disk authoring application, a spreadsheet application, a gaming application, a telephone application, a video conferencing application, an e-mail application, an instant messaging application, a workout support application, a photo management application, a digital camera application, a digital video camera application, a web browsing application, a digital music player application, a television channel browsing application, and/or a digital video player application. 
     The various applications that are executed on the device optionally use at least one common physical user-interface device, such as the touch-sensitive surface. One or more functions of the touch-sensitive surface as well as corresponding information displayed on the device are, optionally, adjusted and/or varied from one application to the next and/or within a respective application. In this way, a common physical architecture (such as the touch-sensitive surface) of the device optionally supports the variety of applications with user interfaces that are intuitive and transparent to the user. 
     Attention is now directed toward embodiments of portable or non-portable devices with touch-sensitive displays, though the devices need not include touch-sensitive displays or displays in general, as described above.  FIG. 1A  is a block diagram illustrating portable or non-portable multifunction device  100  with touch-sensitive displays  112  in accordance with some embodiments. Touch-sensitive display  112  is sometimes called a “touch screen” for convenience, and is sometimes known as or called a touch-sensitive display system. Device  100  includes memory  102  (which optionally includes one or more computer readable storage mediums), memory controller  122 , one or more processing units (CPU&#39;s)  120 , peripherals interface  118 , RF circuitry  108 , audio circuitry  110 , speaker  111 , microphone  113 , input/output (I/O) subsystem  106 , other input or control devices  116 , and external port  124 . Device  100  optionally includes one or more optical sensors  164 . Device  100  optionally includes one or more contact intensity sensors  165  for detecting intensity of contacts on device  100  (e.g., a touch-sensitive surface such as touch-sensitive display system  112  of device  100 ). Device  100  optionally includes one or more tactile output generators  167  for generating tactile outputs on device  100  (e.g., generating tactile outputs on a touch-sensitive surface such as touch-sensitive display system  112  of device  100  or touchpad  355  of device  300 ). These components optionally communicate over one or more communication buses or signal lines  103 . 
     As used in the specification and claims, the term “intensity” of a contact on a touch-sensitive surface refers to the force or pressure (force per unit area) of a contact (e.g., a finger contact) on the touch-sensitive surface, or to a substitute (proxy) for the force or pressure of a contact on the touch-sensitive surface. The intensity of a contact has a range of values that includes at least four distinct values and more typically includes hundreds of distinct values (e.g., at least 256). Intensity of a contact is, optionally, determined (or measured) using various approaches and various sensors or combinations of sensors. For example, one or more force sensors underneath or adjacent to the touch-sensitive surface are, optionally, used to measure force at various points on the touch-sensitive surface. In some implementations, force measurements from multiple force sensors are combined (e.g., a weighted average) to determine an estimated force of a contact. Similarly, a pressure-sensitive tip of a stylus is, optionally, used to determine a pressure of the stylus on the touch-sensitive surface. Alternatively, the size of the contact area detected on the touch-sensitive surface and/or changes thereto, the capacitance of the touch-sensitive surface proximate to the contact and/or changes thereto, and/or the resistance of the touch-sensitive surface proximate to the contact and/or changes thereto are, optionally, used as a substitute for the force or pressure of the contact on the touch-sensitive surface. In some implementations, the substitute measurements for contact force or pressure are used directly to determine whether an intensity threshold has been exceeded (e.g., the intensity threshold is described in units corresponding to the substitute measurements). In some implementations, the substitute measurements for contact force or pressure are converted to an estimated force or pressure and the estimated force or pressure is used to determine whether an intensity threshold has been exceeded (e.g., the intensity threshold is a pressure threshold measured in units of pressure). Using the intensity of a contact as an attribute of a user input allows for user access to additional device functionality that may otherwise not be accessible by the user on a reduced-size device with limited real estate for displaying affordances (e.g., on a touch-sensitive display) and/or receiving user input (e.g., via a touch-sensitive display, a touch-sensitive surface, or a physical/mechanical control such as a knob or a button). 
     As used in the specification and claims, the term “tactile output” refers to physical displacement of a device relative to a previous position of the device, physical displacement of a component (e.g., a touch-sensitive surface) of a device relative to another component (e.g., housing) of the device, or displacement of the component relative to a center of mass of the device that will be detected by a user with the user&#39;s sense of touch. For example, in situations where the device or the component of the device is in contact with a surface of a user that is sensitive to touch (e.g., a finger, palm, or other part of a user&#39;s hand), the tactile output generated by the physical displacement will be interpreted by the user as a tactile sensation corresponding to a perceived change in physical characteristics of the device or the component of the device. For example, movement of a touch-sensitive surface (e.g., a touch-sensitive display or trackpad) is, optionally, interpreted by the user as a “down click” or “up click” of a physical actuator button. In some cases, a user will feel a tactile sensation such as an “down click” or “up click” even when there is no movement of a physical actuator button associated with the touch-sensitive surface that is physically pressed (e.g., displaced) by the user&#39;s movements. As another example, movement of the touch-sensitive surface is, optionally, interpreted or sensed by the user as “roughness” of the touch-sensitive surface, even when there is no change in smoothness of the touch-sensitive surface. While such interpretations of touch by a user will be subject to the individualized sensory perceptions of the user, there are many sensory perceptions of touch that are common to a large majority of users. Thus, when a tactile output is described as corresponding to a particular sensory perception of a user (e.g., an “up click,” a “down click,” “roughness”), unless otherwise stated, the generated tactile output corresponds to physical displacement of the device or a component thereof that will generate the described sensory perception for a typical (or average) user. 
     It should be appreciated that device  100  is only one example of a portable or non-portable multifunction device, and that device  100  optionally has more or fewer components than shown, optionally combines two or more components, or optionally has a different configuration or arrangement of the components. The various components shown in  FIG. 1A  are implemented in hardware, software, or a combination of both hardware and software, including one or more signal processing and/or application specific integrated circuits. Further, the various components shown in  FIG. 1A  are optionally implemented across two or more devices; for example, a display and audio circuitry on a display device, a touch-sensitive surface on an input device, and remaining components on device  100 . In such an embodiment, device  100  optionally communicates with the display device and/or the input device to facilitate operation of the system, as described in the disclosure, and the various components described herein that relate to display and/or input remain in device  100 , or are optionally included in the display and/or input device, as appropriate. 
     Memory  102  optionally includes high-speed random access memory and optionally also includes non-volatile memory, such as one or more magnetic disk storage devices, flash memory devices, or other non-volatile solid-state memory devices. Memory controller  122  optionally controls access to memory  102  by other components of device  100 . 
     Peripherals interface  118  can be used to couple input and output peripherals of the device to CPU  120  and memory  102 . The one or more processors  120  run or execute various software programs and/or sets of instructions stored in memory  102  to perform various functions for device  100  and to process data. 
     In some embodiments, peripherals interface  118 , CPU  120 , and memory controller  122  are, optionally, implemented on a single chip, such as chip  104 . In some other embodiments, they are, optionally, implemented on separate chips. 
     RF (radio frequency) circuitry  108  receives and sends RF signals, also called electromagnetic signals. RF circuitry  108  converts electrical signals to/from electromagnetic signals and communicates with communications networks and other communications devices via the electromagnetic signals. RF circuitry  108  optionally includes well-known circuitry for performing these functions, including but not limited to an antenna system, an RF transceiver, one or more amplifiers, a tuner, one or more oscillators, a digital signal processor, a CODEC chipset, a subscriber identity module (SIM) card, memory, and so forth.

The RF circuitry  108  optionally includes well-known circuitry for detecting near field communication (NFC) fields, such as by a short-range communication radio. The wireless communication optionally uses any of a plurality of communications standards, protocols, and technologies, including but not limited to Global System for Mobile Communications (GSM), Enhanced Data GSM Environment (EDGE), high-speed downlink packet access (HSDPA), high-speed uplink packet access (HSUPA), Evolution, Data-Only (EV-DO), HSPA, HSPA+, Dual-Cell HSPA (DC-HSPDA), long term evolution (LTE), near field communication (NFC), wideband code division multiple access (W-CDMA), code division multiple access (CDMA), time division multiple access (TDMA), Bluetooth, Bluetooth Low Energy (BTLE), Wireless Fidelity (Wi-Fi) (e.g., IEEE 802.11a, IEEE 802.11b, IEEE 802.11g, IEEE 802.11n, and/or IEEE 802.11ac), voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP), Wi-MAX, a protocol for e-mail (e.g., Internet message access protocol (IMAP) and/or post office protocol (POP)), instant messaging (e.g., extensible messaging and presence protocol (XMPP), Session Initiation Protocol for Instant Messaging and Presence Leveraging Extensions (SIMPLE), Instant Messaging and Presence Service (IMPS)), and/or Short Message Service (SMS), or any other suitable communication protocol, including communication protocols not yet developed as of the filing date of this document. 
     Audio circuitry  110 , speaker  111 , and microphone  113  provide an audio interface between a user and device  100 . Audio circuitry  110  receives audio data from peripherals interface  118 , converts the audio data to an electrical signal, and transmits the electrical signal to speaker  111 . Speaker  111  converts the electrical signal to human-audible sound waves. Audio circuitry  110  also receives electrical signals converted by microphone  113  from sound waves. Audio circuitry  110  converts the electrical signal to audio data and transmits the audio data to peripherals interface  118  for processing. Audio data is, optionally, retrieved from and/or transmitted to memory  102  and/or RF circuitry  108  by peripherals interface  118 . In some embodiments, audio circuitry  110  also includes a headset jack (e.g.,  212 ,  FIG. 2 ). The headset jack provides an interface between audio circuitry  110  and removable audio input/output peripherals, such as output-only headphones or a headset with both output (e.g., a headphone for one or both ears) and input (e.g., a microphone). 
     I/O subsystem  106  couples input/output peripherals on device  100 , such as touch screen  112  and other input control devices  116 , to peripherals interface  118 . I/O subsystem  106  optionally includes display controller  156 , optical sensor controller  158 , intensity sensor controller  159 , haptic feedback controller  161  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  optionally 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  are, optionally, 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 ,  FIG. 2 ) optionally include an up/down button for volume control of speaker  111  and/or microphone  113 . The one or more buttons optionally include a push button (e.g.,  206 ,  FIG. 2 ). 
     A quick press of the push button optionally disengages a lock of touch screen  112  or optionally begins a process that uses gestures on the touch screen to unlock the device, as described in U.S. patent application Ser. No. 11/322,549, “Unlocking a Device by Performing Gestures on an Unlock Image,” filed Dec. 23, 2005, U.S. Pat. No. 7,657,849, which is hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety. A longer press of the push button (e.g.,  206 ) optionally turns power to device  100  on or off. The functionality of one or more of the buttons are, optionally, user-customizable. Touch screen  112  is used to implement virtual or soft buttons and one or more soft keyboards. 
     Touch-sensitive display  112  provides an input interface and an output interface between the device and a user. As described above, the touch-sensitive operation and the display operation of touch-sensitive display  112  are optionally separated from each other, such that a display device is used for display purposes and a touch-sensitive surface (whether display or not) is used for input detection purposes, and the described components and functions are modified accordingly. However, for simplicity, the following description is provided with reference to a touch-sensitive display. Display controller  156  receives and/or sends electrical signals from/to touch screen  112 . Touch screen  112  displays visual output to the user. The visual output optionally includes graphics, text, icons, video, and any combination thereof (collectively termed “graphics”). In some embodiments, some or all of the visual output corresponds to user-interface objects. 
     Touch screen  112  has a touch-sensitive surface, sensor or set of sensors that accepts input from the user based on haptic and/or tactile contact. Touch screen  112  and display controller  156  (along with any associated modules and/or sets of instructions in memory  102 ) detect contact (and any movement or breaking of the contact) on touch screen  112  and convert the detected contact into interaction with user-interface objects (e.g., one or more soft keys, icons, web pages or images) that are displayed on touch screen  112 . In an exemplary embodiment, a point of contact between touch screen  112  and the user corresponds to a finger of the user. 
     Touch screen  112  optionally uses LCD (liquid crystal display) technology, LPD (light emitting polymer display) technology, or LED (light emitting diode) technology, although other display technologies are used in other embodiments. Touch screen  112  and display controller  156  optionally detect contact and any movement or breaking thereof using any of a plurality of touch sensing technologies now known or later developed, including but not limited to capacitive, resistive, infrared, and surface acoustic wave technologies, as well as other proximity sensor arrays or other elements for determining one or more points of contact with touch screen  112 . In an exemplary embodiment, projected mutual capacitance sensing technology is used, such as that found in the iPhone®, iPod Touch®, and iPad® from Apple Inc. of Cupertino, Calif. 
     A touch-sensitive display in some embodiments of touch screen  112  is, optionally, analogous to the multi-touch sensitive touchpads described in the following U.S. patents: U.S. Pat. No. 6,323,846 (Westerman et al.), U.S. Pat. No. 6,570,557 (Westerman et al.), and/or U.S. Pat. No. 6,677,932 (Westerman), and/or U.S. Patent Publication 2002/0015024A1, each of which is hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety. However, touch screen  112  displays visual output from device  100 , whereas touch-sensitive touchpads do not provide visual output. 
     A touch-sensitive display in some embodiments of touch screen  112  is described in the following applications: (1) U.S. patent application Ser. No. 11/381,313, “Multipoint Touch Surface Controller,” filed May 2, 2006; (2) U.S. patent application Ser. No. 10/840,862, “Multipoint Touchscreen,” filed May 6, 2004; (3) U.S. patent application Ser. No. 10/903,964, “Gestures For Touch Sensitive Input Devices,” filed Jul. 30, 2004; (4) U.S. patent application Ser. No. 11/048,264, “Gestures For Touch Sensitive Input Devices,” filed Jan. 31, 2005; (5) U.S. patent application Ser. No. 11/038,590, “Mode-Based Graphical User Interfaces For Touch Sensitive Input Devices,” filed Jan. 18, 2005; (6) U.S. patent application Ser. No. 11/228,758, “Virtual Input Device Placement On A Touch Screen User Interface,” filed Sep. 16, 2005; (7) U.S. patent application Ser. No. 11/228,700, “Operation Of A Computer With A Touch Screen Interface,” filed Sep. 16, 2005; (8) U.S. patent application Ser. No. 11/228,737, “Activating Virtual Keys Of A Touch-Screen Virtual Keyboard,” filed Sep. 16, 2005; and (9) U.S. patent application Ser. No. 11/367,749, “Multi-Functional Hand-Held Device,” filed Mar. 3, 2006. All of these applications are incorporated by reference herein in their entirety. 
     Touch screen  112  optionally has a video resolution in excess of 100 dpi. In some embodiments, the touch screen has a video resolution of approximately 160 dpi. The user optionally makes contact with 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 can be less precise than stylus-based 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. 
     In some embodiments, in addition to the touch screen, device  100  optionally includes a touchpad (not shown) for activating or deactivating particular functions. In some embodiments, the touchpad is a touch-sensitive area of the device that, unlike the touch screen, does not display visual output. The touchpad is, optionally, a touch-sensitive surface that is separate from touch screen  112  or an extension of the touch-sensitive surface formed by the touch screen. 
     Device  100  also includes power system  162  for powering the various components. Power system  162  optionally includes a power management system, one or more power sources (e.g., battery, alternating current (AC)), a recharging system, a power failure detection circuit, a power converter or inverter, a power status indicator (e.g., a light-emitting diode (LED)) and any other components associated with the generation, management and distribution of power in portable or non-portable devices. 
     Device  100  optionally also includes one or more optical sensors  164 .  FIG. 1A  shows an optical sensor coupled to optical sensor controller  158  in I/O subsystem  106 . Optical sensor  164  optionally includes charge-coupled device (CCD) or complementary metal-oxide semiconductor (CMOS) phototransistors. Optical sensor  164  receives light from the environment, projected through one or more lenses, and converts the light to data representing an image. In conjunction with imaging module  143  (also called a camera module), optical sensor  164  optionally captures still images or video. In some embodiments, an optical sensor is located on the back of device  100 , opposite touch screen display  112  on the front of the device so that the touch screen display is enabled for use as a viewfinder for still and/or video image acquisition. In some embodiments, an optical sensor is located on the front of the device so that the user&#39;s image is, optionally, obtained for video conferencing while the user views the other video conference participants on the touch screen display. In some embodiments, the position of 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  is used along with the touch screen display for both video conferencing and still and/or video image acquisition. 
     Device  100  optionally also includes one or more contact intensity sensors  165 .  FIG. 1A  shows a contact intensity sensor coupled to intensity sensor controller  159  in I/O subsystem  106 . Contact intensity sensor  165  optionally includes one or more piezoresistive strain gauges, capacitive force sensors, electric force sensors, piezoelectric force sensors, optical force sensors, capacitive touch-sensitive surfaces, or other intensity sensors (e.g., sensors used to measure the force (or pressure) of a contact on a touch-sensitive surface). Contact intensity sensor  165  receives contact intensity information (e.g., pressure information or a proxy for pressure information) from the environment. In some embodiments, at least one contact intensity sensor is collocated with, or proximate to, a touch-sensitive surface (e.g., touch-sensitive display system  112 ). In some embodiments, at least one contact intensity sensor is located on the back of device  100 , opposite touch screen display  112  which is located on the front of device  100 . 
     Device  100  optionally also includes one or more proximity sensors  166 .  FIG. 1A  shows proximity sensor  166  coupled to peripherals interface  118 . Alternately, proximity sensor  166  is, optionally, coupled to input controller  160  in I/O subsystem  106 . Proximity sensor  166  optionally performs as described in U.S. patent application Ser. No. 11/241,839, “Proximity Detector In Handheld Device”; Ser. No. 11/240,788, “Proximity Detector In Handheld Device”; Ser. No. 11/620,702, “Using Ambient Light Sensor To Augment Proximity Sensor Output”; Ser. No. 11/586,862, “Automated Response To And Sensing Of User Activity In Portable Devices”; and Ser. No. 11/638,251, “Methods And Systems For Automatic Configuration Of Peripherals,” which are hereby incorporated by reference in their entirety. In some embodiments, the proximity sensor turns off and disables touch screen  112  when the multifunction device is placed near the user&#39;s ear (e.g., when the user is making a phone call). 
     Device  100  optionally also includes one or more tactile output generators  167 .  FIG. 1A  shows a tactile output generator coupled to haptic feedback controller  161  in I/O subsystem  106 . Tactile output generator  167  optionally includes one or more electroacoustic devices such as speakers or other audio components and/or electromechanical devices that convert energy into linear motion such as a motor, solenoid, electroactive polymer, piezoelectric actuator, electrostatic actuator, or other tactile output generating component (e.g., a component that converts electrical signals into tactile outputs on the device). Contact intensity sensor  165  receives tactile feedback generation instructions from haptic feedback module  133  and generates tactile outputs on device  100  that are capable of being sensed by a user of device  100 . In some embodiments, at least one tactile output generator is collocated with, or proximate to, a touch-sensitive surface (e.g., touch-sensitive display system  112 ) and, optionally, generates a tactile output by moving the touch-sensitive surface vertically (e.g., in/out of a surface of device  100 ) or laterally (e.g., back and forth in the same plane as a surface of device  100 ). In some embodiments, at least one tactile output generator sensor is located on the back of device  100 , opposite touch screen display  112  which is located on the front of device  100 . 
     Device  100  optionally also includes one or more accelerometers  168 .  FIG. 1A  shows accelerometer  168  coupled to peripherals interface  118 . Alternately, accelerometer  168  is, optionally, coupled to an input controller  160  in I/O subsystem  106 . Accelerometer  168  optionally performs 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. Device  100  optionally includes, in addition to accelerometer(s)  168 , a magnetometer (not shown) and a GPS (or GLONASS or other global navigation system) receiver (not shown) for obtaining information concerning the location and orientation (e.g., portrait or landscape) of device  100 . 
     In some embodiments, the software components stored in memory  102  include operating system  126 , communication module (or set of instructions)  128 , contact/motion module (or set of instructions)  130 , graphics module (or set of instructions)  132 , text input module (or set of instructions)  134 , Global Positioning System (GPS) module (or set of instructions)  135 , and applications (or sets of instructions)  136 . Furthermore, in some embodiments, memory  102  ( FIG. 1A ) or  370  ( FIG. 3 ) stores device/global internal state  157 , as shown in  FIGS. 1A and 3 . Device/global internal state  157  includes one or more of: active application state, indicating which applications, if any, are currently active; display state, indicating what applications, views or other information occupy various regions of touch screen display  112 ; sensor state, including information obtained from the device&#39;s various sensors and input control devices  116 ; and location information concerning the device&#39;s location and/or attitude. 
     Operating system  126  (e.g., Darwin, RTXC, LINUX, UNIX, OS X, iOS, WINDOWS, or an embedded operating system such as VxWorks) includes various software components and/or drivers for controlling and managing general system tasks (e.g., memory management, storage device control, power management, etc.) and facilitates communication between various hardware and software components. 
     Communication module  128  facilitates communication with other devices over one or more external ports  124  and also includes various software components for handling data received by RF circuitry  108  and/or external port  124 . External port  124  (e.g., Universal Serial Bus (USB), FIREWIRE, etc.) is adapted for coupling directly to other devices or indirectly over a network (e.g., the Internet, wireless LAN, etc.). In some embodiments, the external port is a multi-pin (e.g., 30-pin) connector that is the same as, or similar to and/or compatible with the 30-pin connector used on iPod (trademark of Apple Inc.) devices. 
     Contact/motion module  130  optionally detects contact with touch screen  112  (in conjunction with display controller  156 ) and other touch-sensitive devices (e.g., a touchpad or physical click wheel). Contact/motion module  130  includes various software components for performing various operations related to detection of contact, such as determining if contact has occurred (e.g., detecting a finger-down event), determining an intensity of the contact (e.g., the force or pressure of the contact or a substitute for the force or pressure of the contact) determining if there is movement of the contact and tracking the movement across the touch-sensitive surface (e.g., detecting one or more finger-dragging events), and determining if the contact has ceased (e.g., detecting a finger-up event or a break in contact). Contact/motion module  130  receives contact data from the touch-sensitive surface. Determining movement of the point of contact, which is represented by a series of contact data, optionally includes determining speed (magnitude), velocity (magnitude and direction), and/or an acceleration (a change in magnitude and/or direction) of the point of contact. These operations are, optionally, applied to single contacts (e.g., one finger contacts) or to multiple simultaneous contacts (e.g., “multitouch”/multiple finger contacts). In some embodiments, contact/motion module  130  and display controller  156  detect contact on a touchpad. 
     In some embodiments, contact/motion module  130  uses a set of one or more intensity thresholds to determine whether an operation has been performed by a user (e.g., to determine whether a user has “clicked” on an icon). In some embodiments at least a subset of the intensity thresholds are determined in accordance with software parameters (e.g., the intensity thresholds are not determined by the activation thresholds of particular physical actuators and can be adjusted without changing the physical hardware of device  100 ). For example, a mouse “click” threshold of a trackpad or touch screen display can be set to any of a large range of predefined threshold values without changing the trackpad or touch screen display hardware. Additionally, in some implementations a user of the device is provided with software settings for adjusting one or more of the set of intensity thresholds (e.g., by adjusting individual intensity thresholds and/or by adjusting a plurality of intensity thresholds at once with a system-level click “intensity” parameter). 
     Contact/motion module  130  optionally detects a gesture input by a user. Different gestures on the touch-sensitive surface have different contact patterns (e.g., different motions, timings, and/or intensities of detected contacts). Thus, a gesture is, optionally, detected by detecting a particular contact pattern. For example, detecting a finger tap gesture includes detecting a finger-down event followed by detecting a finger-up (liftoff) event at the same position (or substantially the same position) as the finger-down event (e.g., at the position of an icon). As another example, detecting a finger swipe gesture on the touch-sensitive surface includes detecting a finger-down event followed by detecting one or more finger-dragging events, and subsequently followed by detecting a finger-up (liftoff) event. 
     Graphics module  132  includes various known software components for rendering and displaying graphics on touch screen  112  or other display, including components for changing the visual impact (e.g., brightness, transparency, saturation, contrast or other visual property) of graphics that are displayed. As used herein, the term “graphics” includes any object that can be displayed to a user, including without limitation text, web pages, icons (such as user-interface objects including soft keys), digital images, videos, animations and the like. 
     In some embodiments, graphics module  132  stores data representing graphics to be used. Each graphic is, optionally, assigned a corresponding code.

Additional description of the online video application can be found in U.S. Provisional Patent Application No. 60/936,562, “Portable Multifunction Device, Method, and Graphical User Interface for Playing Online Videos,” filed Jun. 20, 2007, and U.S. patent application Ser. No. 11/968,067, “Portable Multifunction Device, Method, and Graphical User Interface for Playing Online Videos,” filed Dec. 31, 2007, the contents of which are hereby incorporated by reference in their entirety. 
     Each of the above-identified modules and applications corresponds to a set of executable instructions for performing one or more functions described above and the methods described in this application (e.g., the computer-implemented methods and other information processing methods described herein). These modules (e.g., sets of instructions) need not be implemented as separate software programs, procedures, or modules, and thus various subsets of these modules are, optionally, combined or otherwise rearranged in various embodiments. For example, video player module is, optionally, combined with music player module into a single module (e.g., video and music player module  152 ,  FIG. 1A ). In some embodiments, memory  102  optionally stores a subset of the modules and data structures identified above. Furthermore, memory  102  optionally stores additional modules and data structures not described above. 
     In some embodiments, device  100  is a device where operation of a predefined set of functions on the device is performed exclusively through a touch screen and/or a touchpad. By using a touch screen and/or a touchpad as the primary input control device for operation of device  100 , the number of physical input control devices (such as push buttons, dials, and the like) on device  100  is, optionally, reduced. 
     The predefined set of functions that are performed exclusively through a touch screen and/or a touchpad optionally include navigation between user interfaces. In some embodiments, the touchpad, when touched by the user, navigates device  100  to a main, home, or root menu from any user interface that is displayed on device  100 . In such embodiments, a “menu button” is implemented using a touchpad. In some other embodiments, the menu button is a physical push button or other physical input control device instead of a touchpad. 
       FIG. 1B  is a block diagram illustrating exemplary components for event handling in accordance with some embodiments. In some embodiments, memory  102  ( FIG. 1A ) or  370  ( FIG. 3 ) includes event sorter  170  (e.g., in operating system  126 ) and a respective application  136 - 1  (e.g., any of the aforementioned applications  137 - 151 ,  155 ,  380 - 390 ). 
     Event sorter  170  receives event information and determines the application  136 - 1  and application view  191  of application  136 - 1  to which to deliver the event information. Event sorter  170  includes event monitor  171  and event dispatcher module  174 . In some embodiments, application  136 - 1  includes application internal state  192 , which indicates the current application view(s) displayed on touch-sensitive display  112  when the application is active or executing. In some embodiments, device/global internal state  157  is used by event sorter  170  to determine which application(s) is (are) currently active, and application internal state  192  is used by event sorter  170  to determine application views  191  to which to deliver event information. 
     In some embodiments, application internal state  192  includes additional information, such as one or more of: resume information to be used when application  136 - 1  resumes execution, user interface state information that indicates information being displayed or that is ready for display by application  136 - 1 , a state queue for enabling the user to go back to a prior state or view of application  136 - 1 , and a redo/undo queue of previous actions taken by the user. 
     Event monitor  171  receives event information from peripherals interface  118 . Event information includes information about a sub-event (e.g., a user touch on touch-sensitive display  112 , as part of a multi-touch gesture). Peripherals interface  118  transmits information it receives from I/O subsystem  106  or a sensor, such as proximity sensor  166 , accelerometer(s)  168 , and/or microphone  113  (through audio circuitry  110 ). Information that peripherals interface  118  receives from I/O subsystem  106  includes information from touch-sensitive display  112  or a touch-sensitive surface. 
     In some embodiments, event monitor  171  sends requests to the peripherals interface  118  at predetermined intervals. In response, peripherals interface  118  transmits event information. In other embodiments, peripherals interface  118  transmits event information only when there is a significant event (e.g., receiving an input above a predetermined noise threshold and/or for more than a predetermined duration). 
     In some embodiments, event sorter  170  also includes a hit view determination module  172  and/or an active event recognizer determination module  173 . 
     Hit view determination module  172  provides software procedures for determining where a sub-event has taken place within one or more views when touch-sensitive display  112  displays more than one view. Views are made up of controls and other elements that a user can see on the display. 
     Another aspect of the user interface associated with an application is a set of views, sometimes herein called application views or user interface windows, in which information is displayed and touch-based gestures occur. The application views (of a respective application) in which a touch is detected optionally correspond to programmatic levels within a programmatic or view hierarchy of the application. For example, the lowest level view in which a touch is detected is, optionally, called the hit view, and the set of events that are recognized as proper inputs are, optionally, determined based, at least in part, on the hit view of the initial touch that begins a touch-based gesture. 
     Hit view determination module  172  receives information related to sub-events of a touch-based gesture. When an application has multiple views organized in a hierarchy, hit view determination module  172  identifies a hit view as the lowest view in the hierarchy which should handle the sub-event. In most circumstances, the hit view is the lowest level view in which an initiating sub-event occurs (e.g., the first sub-event in the sequence of sub-events that form an event or potential event). Once the hit view is identified by the hit view determination module  172 , the hit view typically receives all sub-events related to the same touch or input source for which it was identified as the hit view. 
     Active event recognizer determination module  173  determines which view or views within a view hierarchy should receive a particular sequence of sub-events. In some embodiments, active event recognizer determination module  173  determines that only the hit view should receive a particular sequence of sub-events. In other embodiments, active event recognizer determination module  173  determines that all views that include the physical location of a sub-event are actively involved views, and therefore determines that all actively involved views should receive a particular sequence of sub-events. In other embodiments, even if touch sub-events were entirely confined to the area associated with one particular view, views higher in the hierarchy would still remain as actively involved views. 
     Event dispatcher module  174  dispatches the event information to an event recognizer (e.g., event recognizer  180 ). In embodiments including active event recognizer determination module  173 , event dispatcher module  174  delivers the event information to an event recognizer determined by active event recognizer determination module  173 . In some embodiments, event dispatcher module  174  stores in an event queue the event information, which is retrieved by a respective event receiver  182 . 
     In some embodiments, operating system  126  includes event sorter  170 . Alternatively, application  136 - 1  includes event sorter  170 . In yet other embodiments, event sorter  170  is a stand-alone module, or a part of another module stored in memory  102 , such as contact/motion module  130 . 
     In some embodiments, application  136 - 1  includes a plurality of event handlers  190  and one or more application views  191 , each of which includes instructions for handling touch events that occur within a respective view of the application&#39;s user interface. Each application view  191  of the application  136 - 1  includes one or more event recognizers  180 . Typically, a respective application view  191  includes a plurality of event recognizers  180 . In other embodiments, one or more of event recognizers  180  are part of a separate module, such as a user interface kit (not shown) or a higher level object from which application  136 - 1  inherits methods and other properties. In some embodiments, a respective event handler  190  includes one or more of: data updater  176 , object updater  177 , GUI updater  178 , and/or event data  179  received from event sorter  170 . Event handler  190  optionally utilizes or calls data updater  176 , object updater  177 , or GUI updater  178  to update the application internal state  192 . Alternatively, one or more of the application views  191  include one or more respective event handlers  190 . Also, in some embodiments, one or more of data updater  176 , object updater  177 , and GUI updater  178  are included in a respective application view  191 . 
     A respective event recognizer  180  receives event information (e.g., event data  179 ) from event sorter  170  and identifies an event from the event information. Event recognizer  180  includes event receiver  182  and event comparator  184 . In some embodiments, event recognizer  180  also includes at least a subset of: metadata  183 , and event delivery instructions  188  (which optionally include sub-event delivery instructions). 
     Event receiver  182  receives event information from event sorter  170 . The event information includes information about a sub-event, for example, a touch or a touch movement. Depending on the sub-event, the event information also includes additional information, such as location of the sub-event. When the sub-event concerns motion of a touch, the event information optionally also includes speed and direction of the sub-event. In some embodiments, events include rotation of the device from one orientation to another (e.g., from a portrait orientation to a landscape orientation, or vice versa), and the event information includes corresponding information about the current orientation (also called device attitude) of the device. 
     Event comparator  184  compares the event information to predefined event or sub-event definitions and, based on the comparison, determines an event or sub-event, or determines or updates the state of an event or sub-event. In some embodiments, event comparator  184  includes event definitions  186 . Event definitions  186  contain definitions of events (e.g., predefined sequences of sub-events), for example, event  1  ( 187 - 1 ), event  2  ( 187 - 2 ), and others. In some embodiments, sub-events in an event ( 187 ) include, for example, touch begin, touch end, touch movement, touch cancellation, and multiple touching. In one example, the definition for event  1  ( 187 - 1 ) is a double tap on a displayed object. The double tap, for example, comprises a first touch (touch begin) on the displayed object for a predetermined phase, a first liftoff (touch end) for a predetermined phase, a second touch (touch begin) on the displayed object for a predetermined phase, and a second liftoff (touch end) for a predetermined phase. In another example, the definition for event  2  ( 187 - 2 ) is a dragging on a displayed object. The dragging, for example, comprises a touch (or contact) on the displayed object for a predetermined phase, a movement of the touch across touch-sensitive display  112 , and liftoff of the touch (touch end). In some embodiments, the event also includes information for one or more associated event handlers  190 . 
     In some embodiments, event definition  187  includes a definition of an event for a respective user-interface object. In some embodiments, event comparator  184  performs a hit test to determine which user-interface object is associated with a sub-event. For example, in an application view in which three user-interface objects are displayed on touch-sensitive display  112 , when a touch is detected on touch-sensitive display  112 , event comparator  184  performs a hit test to determine which of the three user-interface objects is associated with the touch (sub-event). If each displayed object is associated with a respective event handler  190 , the event comparator uses the result of the hit test to determine which event handler  190  should be activated. For example, event comparator  184  selects an event handler associated with the sub-event and the object triggering the hit test. 
     In some embodiments, the definition for a respective event ( 187 ) also includes delayed actions that delay delivery of the event information until after it has been determined whether the sequence of sub-events does or does not correspond to the event recognizer&#39;s event type. 
     When a respective event recognizer  180  determines that the series of sub-events do not match any of the events in event definitions  186 , the respective event recognizer  180  enters an event impossible, event failed, or event ended state, after which it disregards subsequent sub-events of the touch-based gesture. In this situation, other event recognizers, if any, that remain active for the hit view continue to track and process sub-events of an ongoing touch-based gesture. 
     In some embodiments, a respective event recognizer  180  includes metadata  183  with configurable properties, flags, and/or lists that indicate how the event delivery system should perform sub-event delivery to actively involved event recognizers. In some embodiments, metadata  183  includes configurable properties, flags, and/or lists that indicate how event recognizers interact, or are enabled to interact, with one another. In some embodiments, metadata  183  includes configurable properties, flags, and/or lists that indicate whether sub-events are delivered to varying levels in the view or programmatic hierarchy. 
     In some embodiments, a respective event recognizer  180  activates event handler  190  associated with an event when one or more particular sub-events of an event are recognized. In some embodiments, a respective event recognizer  180  delivers event information associated with the event to event handler  190 . Activating an event handler  190  is distinct from sending (and deferred sending) sub-events to a respective hit view. In some embodiments, event recognizer  180  throws a flag associated with the recognized event, and event handler  190  associated with the flag catches the flag and performs a predefined process. 
     In some embodiments, event delivery instructions  188  include sub-event delivery instructions that deliver event information about a sub-event without activating an event handler. Instead, the sub-event delivery instructions deliver event information to event handlers associated with the series of sub-events or to actively involved views. Event handlers associated with the series of sub-events or with actively involved views receive the event information and perform a predetermined process. 
     In some embodiments, data updater  176  creates and updates data used in application  136 - 1 . For example, data updater  176  updates the telephone number used in contacts module  137 , or stores a video file used in video player module. In some embodiments, object updater  177  creates and updates objects used in application  136 - 1 . For example, object updater  177  creates a new user-interface object or updates the position of a user-interface object. GUI updater  178  updates the GUI. For example, GUI updater  178  prepares display information and sends it to graphics module  132  for display on a touch-sensitive display. 
     In some embodiments, event handler(s)  190  includes or has access to data updater  176 , object updater  177 , and GUI updater  178 . In some embodiments, data updater  176 , object updater  177 , and GUI updater  178  are included in a single module of a respective application  136 - 1  or application view  191 . In other embodiments, they are included in two or more software modules. 
     It shall be understood that the foregoing discussion regarding event handling of user touches on touch-sensitive displays also applies to other forms of user inputs to operate multifunction devices  100  with input devices, not all of which are initiated on touch screens. For example, mouse movement and mouse button presses, optionally coordinated with single or multiple keyboard presses or holds; contact movements such as taps, drags, scrolls, etc. on touchpads; pen stylus inputs; movement of the device; oral instructions; detected eye movements; biometric inputs; and/or any combination thereof are optionally utilized as inputs corresponding to sub-events which define an event to be recognized. 
       FIG. 2  illustrates a portable or non-portable multifunction device  100  having a touch screen  112  in accordance with some embodiments. As stated above, multifunction device  100  is described as having the various illustrated structures (such as touch screen  112 , speaker  111 , accelerometer  168 , microphone  113 , etc.); however, it is understood that these structures optionally reside on separate devices. For example, display-related structures (e.g., display, speaker, etc.) and/or functions optionally reside on a separate display device, input-related structures (e.g., touch-sensitive surface, microphone, accelerometer, etc.) and/or functions optionally reside on a separate input device, and remaining structures and/or functions optionally reside on multifunction device  100 . 
     The touch screen  112  optionally displays one or more graphics within user interface (UI)  200 . In this embodiment, as well as others described below, a user is enabled to select one or more of the graphics by making a gesture on the graphics, for example, with one or more fingers  202  (not drawn to scale in the figure) or one or more styluses  203  (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 gesture optionally includes 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 device  100 . In some implementations or circumstances, inadvertent contact with a graphic does not select the graphic. For example, a swipe gesture that sweeps over an application icon optionally does not select the corresponding application when the gesture corresponding to selection is a tap. 
     Device  100  optionally also includes one or more physical buttons, such as “home” or menu button  204 . As previously described, menu button  204  is, optionally, used to navigate to any application  136  in a set of applications that are, optionally executed on device  100 . Alternatively, in some embodiments, the menu button is implemented as a soft key in a GUI displayed on touch screen  112 . 
     In one embodiment, device  100  includes touch screen  112 , menu button  204 , push button  206  for powering the device on/off and locking the device, volume adjustment button(s)  208 , Subscriber Identity Module (SIM) card slot  210 , head set jack  212 , and docking/charging external port  124 . Push button  206  is, optionally, used to turn the power on/off on the device by depressing the button and holding the button in the depressed state for a predefined time interval; to lock the device by depressing the button and releasing the button before the predefined time interval has elapsed; and/or to unlock the device or initiate an unlock process. In an alternative embodiment, device  100  also accepts verbal input for activation or deactivation of some functions through microphone  113 . Device  100  also, optionally, includes one or more contact intensity sensors  165  for detecting intensity of contacts on touch screen  112  and/or one or more tactile output generators  167  for generating tactile outputs for a user of device  100 . 
       FIG. 3  is a block diagram of an exemplary multifunction device with a display and a touch-sensitive surface in accordance with some embodiments. Device  300  need not include the display and the touch-sensitive surface, as described above, but rather, in some embodiments, optionally communicates with the display and the touch-sensitive surface on other devices. Additionally, device  300  need not be portable. In some embodiments, device  300  is a laptop computer, a desktop computer, a tablet computer, a multimedia player device (such as a television or a set-top box), a navigation device, an educational device (such as a child&#39;s learning toy), a gaming system, or a control device (e.g., a home or industrial controller). Device  300  typically includes one or more processing units (CPU&#39;s)  310 , one or more network or other communications interfaces  360 , memory  370 , and one or more communication buses  320  for interconnecting these components. Communication buses  320  optionally include circuitry (sometimes called a chipset) that interconnects and controls communications between system components. Device  300  includes input/output (I/O) interface  330  comprising display  340 , which is typically a touch screen display. I/O interface  330  also optionally includes a keyboard and/or mouse (or other pointing device)  350  and touchpad  355 , tactile output generator  357  for generating tactile outputs on device  300  (e.g., similar to tactile output generator(s)  167  described above with reference to  FIG. 1A ), sensors  359  (e.g., optical, acceleration, proximity, touch-sensitive, and/or contact intensity sensors similar to contact intensity sensor(s)  165  described above with reference to  FIG. 1A ). Memory  370  includes high-speed random access memory, such as DRAM, SRAM, DDR RAM or other random access solid state memory devices; and optionally includes non-volatile memory, such as one or more magnetic disk storage devices, optical disk storage devices, flash memory devices, or other non-volatile solid state storage devices. Memory  370  optionally includes one or more storage devices remotely located from CPU(s)  310 . In some embodiments, memory  370  stores programs, modules, and data structures analogous to the programs, modules, and data structures stored in memory  102  of portable or non-portable multifunction device  100  ( FIG. 1A ), or a subset thereof. Furthermore, memory  370  optionally stores additional programs, modules, and data structures not present in memory  102  of portable or non-portable multifunction device  100 . For example, memory  370  of device  300  optionally stores drawing module  380 , presentation module  382 , word processing module  384 , website creation module  386 , disk authoring module  388 , and/or spreadsheet module  390 , while memory  102  of portable or non-portable multifunction device  100  ( FIG. 1A ) optionally does not store these modules. 
     Each of the above identified elements in  FIG. 3  are, optionally, stored in one or more of the previously mentioned memory devices. Each of the above identified modules corresponds to a set of instructions for performing a function described above. The above identified modules or programs (e.g., sets of instructions) need not be implemented as separate software programs, procedures or modules, and thus various subsets of these modules are, optionally, combined or otherwise re-arranged in various embodiments. In some embodiments, memory  370  optionally stores a subset of the modules and data structures identified above. Furthermore, memory  370  optionally stores additional modules and data structures not described above. 
       FIG. 4  illustrates an exemplary user interface on a device (e.g., device  300 ,  FIG. 3 ) with a touch-sensitive surface  451  (e.g., a tablet or touchpad  355 ,  FIG. 3 ) that is separate from the display  450  (e.g., touch screen display  112 ). Device  300  also, optionally, includes one or more contact intensity sensors (e.g., one or more of sensors  357 ) for detecting intensity of contacts on touch-sensitive surface  451  and/or one or more tactile output generators  359  for generating tactile outputs for a user of device  300 . 
     Although some of the examples that follow will be given with reference to inputs on touch screen display  112  (where the touch sensitive surface and the display are combined), in some embodiments, the device detects inputs on a touch-sensitive surface that is separate from the display, as shown in  FIG. 4 . In some embodiments the touch sensitive surface (e.g.,  451  in  FIG. 4 ) has a primary axis (e.g.,  452  in  FIG. 4 ) that corresponds to a primary axis (e.g.,  453  in  FIG. 4 ) on the display (e.g.,  450 ). In accordance with these embodiments, the device detects contacts (e.g.,  460  and  462  in  FIG. 4 ) with the touch-sensitive surface  451  at locations that correspond to respective locations on the display (e.g., in  FIG. 4, 460  corresponds to  468  and  462  corresponds to  470 ). In this way, user inputs (e.g., contacts  460  and  462 , and movements thereof) detected by the device on the touch-sensitive surface (e.g.,  451  in  FIG. 4 ) are used by the device to manipulate the user interface on the display (e.g.,  450  in  FIG. 4 ) of the multifunction device when the touch-sensitive surface is separate from the display. It should be understood that similar methods are, optionally, used for other user interfaces described herein. 
     Additionally, while the following examples are given primarily with reference to finger inputs (e.g., finger contacts, finger tap gestures, finger swipe gestures), it should be understood that, in some embodiments, one or more of the finger inputs are replaced with input from another input device (e.g., a mouse based input or stylus input). For example, a swipe gesture is, optionally, replaced with a mouse click (e.g., instead of a contact) followed by movement of the cursor along the path of the swipe (e.g., instead of movement of the contact). As another example, a tap gesture is, optionally, replaced with a mouse click while the cursor is located over the location of the tap gesture (e.g., instead of detection of the contact followed by ceasing to detect the contact). Similarly, when multiple user inputs are simultaneously detected, it should be understood that multiple computer mice are, optionally, used simultaneously, or a mouse and finger contacts are, optionally, used simultaneously. 
     As used herein, the term “focus selector” refers to an input element that indicates a current part of a user interface with which a user is interacting. In some implementations that include a cursor or other location marker, the cursor acts as a “focus selector,” so that when an input (e.g., a press input) is detected on a touch-sensitive surface (e.g., touchpad  355  in  FIG. 3  or touch-sensitive surface  451  in  FIG. 4 ) while the cursor is over a particular user interface element (e.g., a button, window, slider or other user interface element), the particular user interface element is adjusted in accordance with the detected input. In some implementations that include a touch-screen display (e.g., touch-sensitive display system  112  in  FIG. 1A ) that enables direct interaction with user interface elements on the touch-screen display, a detected contact on the touch-screen acts as a “focus selector,” so that when an input (e.g., a press input by the contact) is detected on the touch-screen display at a location of a particular user interface element (e.g., a button, window, slider or other user interface element), the particular user interface element is adjusted in accordance with the detected input. In some implementations focus is moved from one region of a user interface to another region of the user interface without corresponding movement of a cursor or movement of a contact on a touch-screen display (e.g., by using a tab key or arrow keys to move focus from one button to another button); in these implementations, the focus selector moves in accordance with movement of focus between different regions of the user interface. Without regard to the specific form taken by the focus selector, the focus selector is generally the user interface element (or contact on a touch-screen display) that is controlled by the user so as to communicate the user&#39;s intended interaction with the user interface (e.g., by indicating, to the device, the element of the user interface with which the user is intending to interact). For example, the location of a focus selector (e.g., a cursor, a contact or a selection box) over a respective button while a press input is detected on the touch-sensitive surface (e.g., a touchpad or touch screen) will indicate that the user is intending to activate the respective button (as opposed to other user interface elements shown on a display of the device). 
     As used in the specification and claims, the term “characteristic intensity” of a contact refers to a characteristic of the contact based on one or more intensities of the contact. In some embodiments, the characteristic intensity is based on multiple intensity samples. The characteristic intensity is, optionally, based on a predefined number of intensity samples, or a set of intensity samples collected during a predetermined time period (e.g., 0.05, 0.1, 0.2, 0.5, 1, 2, 5, 10 seconds) relative to a predefined event (e.g., after detecting the contact, prior to detecting liftoff of the contact, before or after detecting a start of movement of the contact, prior to detecting an end of the contact, before or after detecting an increase in intensity of the contact, and/or before or after detecting a decrease in intensity of the contact). A characteristic intensity of a contact is, optionally, based on one or more of: a maximum value of the intensities of the contact, a mean value of the intensities of the contact, an average value of the intensities of the contact, a top 10 percentile value of the intensities of the contact, a value at the half maximum of the intensities of the contact, a value at the 90 percent maximum of the intensities of the contact, or the like. In some embodiments, the duration of the contact is used in determining the characteristic intensity (e.g., when the characteristic intensity is an average of the intensity of the contact over time). In some embodiments, the characteristic intensity is compared to a set of one or more intensity thresholds to determine whether an operation has been performed by a user. For example, the set of one or more intensity thresholds optionally includes a first intensity threshold and a second intensity threshold. In this example, a contact with a characteristic intensity that does not exceed the first threshold results in a first operation, a contact with a characteristic intensity that exceeds the first intensity threshold and does not exceed the second intensity threshold results in a second operation, and a contact with a characteristic intensity that exceeds the second threshold results in a third operation. In some embodiments, a comparison between the characteristic intensity and one or more thresholds is used to determine whether or not to perform one or more operations (e.g., whether to perform a respective operation or forgo performing the respective operation), rather than being used to determine whether to perform a first operation or a second operation. 
     In some embodiments described herein, one or more operations are performed in response to detecting a gesture that includes a respective press input or in response to detecting the respective press input performed with a respective contact (or a plurality of contacts), where the respective press input is detected based at least in part on detecting an increase in intensity of the contact (or plurality of contacts) above a press-input intensity threshold. In some embodiments, the respective operation is performed in response to detecting the increase in intensity of the respective contact above the press-input intensity threshold (e.g., a “down stroke” of the respective press input). In some embodiments, the press input includes an increase in intensity of the respective contact above the press-input intensity threshold and a subsequent decrease in intensity of the contact below the press-input intensity threshold, and the respective operation is performed in response to detecting the subsequent decrease in intensity of the respective contact below the press-input threshold (e.g., an “up stroke” of the respective press input). 
     In some embodiments, the device employs intensity hysteresis to avoid accidental inputs sometimes termed “jitter,” where the device defines or selects a hysteresis intensity threshold with a predefined relationship to the press-input intensity threshold (e.g., the hysteresis intensity threshold is X intensity units lower than the press-input intensity threshold or the hysteresis intensity threshold is 75%, 90% or some reasonable proportion of the press-input intensity threshold). Thus, in some embodiments, the press input includes an increase in intensity of the respective contact above the press-input intensity threshold and a subsequent decrease in intensity of the contact below the hysteresis intensity threshold that corresponds to the press-input intensity threshold, and the respective operation is performed in response to detecting the subsequent decrease in intensity of the respective contact below the hysteresis intensity threshold (e.g., an “up stroke” of the respective press input). Similarly, in some embodiments, the press input is detected only when the device detects an increase in intensity of the contact from an intensity at or below the hysteresis intensity threshold to an intensity at or above the press-input intensity threshold and, optionally, a subsequent decrease in intensity of the contact to an intensity at or below the hysteresis intensity, and the respective operation is performed in response to detecting the press input (e.g., the increase in intensity of the contact or the decrease in intensity of the contact, depending on the circumstances). 
     For ease of explanation, the description of operations performed in response to a press input associated with a press-input intensity threshold or in response to a gesture including the press input are, optionally, triggered in response to detecting either: an increase in intensity of a contact above the press-input intensity threshold, an increase in intensity of a contact from an intensity below the hysteresis intensity threshold to an intensity above the press-input intensity threshold, a decrease in intensity of the contact below the press-input intensity threshold, and/or a decrease in intensity of the contact below the hysteresis intensity threshold corresponding to the press-input intensity threshold. Additionally, in examples where an operation is described as being performed in response to detecting a decrease in intensity of a contact below the press-input intensity threshold, the operation is, optionally, performed in response to detecting a decrease in intensity of the contact below a hysteresis intensity threshold corresponding to, and lower than, the press-input intensity threshold. 
       FIG. 5A  illustrates a block diagram of an exemplary architecture for the device  500  according to some embodiments of the disclosure. In the embodiment of  FIG. 5A , media or other content is optionally received by device  500  via network interface  502 , which is optionally a wireless or wired connection. The one or more processors  504  optionally execute any number of programs stored in memory  506  or storage, which optionally includes instructions to perform one or more of the methods and/or processes described herein (e.g., method  700 ). 
     In some embodiments, display controller  508  causes the various user interfaces of the disclosure to be displayed on display  514 . Further, input to device  500  is optionally provided by remote  510  via remote interface  512 , which is optionally a wireless or a wired connection. In some embodiments, input to device  500  is provided by a multifunction device  511  (e.g., a smartphone) on which a remote application is running that configures the multifunction device to simulate remote control functionality, as will be described in more detail below. In some embodiments, multifunction device  511  corresponds to one or more of device  100  in  FIGS. 1A and 2 , and device  300  in  FIG. 3 . It is understood that the embodiment of  FIG. 5A  is not meant to limit the features of the device of the disclosure, and that other components to facilitate other features described in the disclosure are optionally included in the architecture of  FIG. 5A  as well. In some embodiments, device  500  optionally corresponds to one or more of multifunction device  100  in  FIGS. 1A and 2  and device  300  in  FIG. 3 ; network interface  502  optionally corresponds to one or more of RF circuitry  108 , external port  124 , and peripherals interface  118  in  FIGS. 1A and 2 , and network communications interface  360  in  FIG. 3 ; processor  504  optionally corresponds to one or more of processor(s)  120  in  FIG. 1A  and CPU(s)  310  in  FIG. 3 ; display controller  508  optionally corresponds to one or more of display controller  156  in  FIG. 1A  and I/O interface  330  in  FIG. 3 ; memory  506  optionally corresponds to one or more of memory  102  in  FIG. 1A  and memory  370  in  FIG. 3 ; remote interface  512  optionally corresponds to one or more of peripherals interface  118 , and I/O subsystem  106  (and/or its components) in  FIG. 1A , and I/O interface  330  in  FIG. 3 ; remote  512  optionally corresponds to and or includes one or more of speaker  111 , touch-sensitive display system  112 , microphone  113 , optical sensor(s)  164 , contact intensity sensor(s)  165 , tactile output generator(s)  167 , other input control devices  116 , accelerometer(s)  168 , proximity sensor  166 , and I/O subsystem  106  in  FIG. 1A , and keyboard/mouse  350 , touchpad  355 , tactile output generator(s)  357 , and contact intensity sensor(s)  359  in  FIG. 3 , and touch-sensitive surface  451  in  FIG. 4 ; and, display  514  optionally corresponds to one or more of touch-sensitive display system  112  in  FIGS. 1A and 2 , and display  340  in  FIG. 3 . 
       FIG. 5B  illustrates an exemplary structure for remote  510  according to some embodiments of the disclosure. In some embodiments, remote  510  optionally corresponds to one or more of multifunction device  100  in  FIGS. 1A and 2  and device  300  in  FIG. 3 . Remote  510  optionally includes touch-sensitive surface  451 . In some embodiments, touch-sensitive surface  451  is edge-to-edge (e.g., it extends to the edges of remote  510 , such that little or no surface of remote  510  exists between the touch-sensitive surface  451  and one or more edges of remote  510 , as illustrated in  FIG. 5B ). Touch-sensitive surface  451  is optionally able to sense contacts as well as contact intensities (e.g., clicks of touch-sensitive surface  451 ), as previously described in this disclosure. Further, touch-sensitive surface  451  optionally includes a mechanical actuator for providing physical button click functionality (e.g., touch-sensitive surface  451  is “clickable” to provide corresponding input to device  500 ). Remote  510  also optionally includes buttons  516 ,  518 ,  520 ,  522 ,  524  and  526 . Buttons  516 ,  518 ,  520 ,  522 ,  524  and  526  are optionally mechanical buttons or mechanical button alternatives that are able to sense contact with, or depression of, such buttons to initiate corresponding action(s) on, for example, device  500 . In some embodiments, selection of “menu” button  516  by a user navigates device  500  backwards in a currently-executing application or currently-displayed user interface (e.g., back to a user interface that was displayed previous to the currently-displayed user interface), or navigates device  500  to a one-higher-level user interface than the currently-displayed user interface. In some embodiments, selection of “home” button  518  by a user navigates device  500  to a main, home, or root user interface from any user interface that is displayed on device  500  (e.g., to a home screen of device  500  that optionally includes one or more applications accessible on device  500 ). In some embodiments, selection of “play/pause” button  520  by a user toggles between playing and pausing a currently-playing content item on device  500  (e.g., if a content item is playing on device  500  when “play/pause” button  520  is selected, the content item is optionally paused, and if a content item is paused on device  500  when “play/pause” button  520  is selected, the content item is optionally played). In some embodiments, selection of “+”  522  or “−”  524  buttons by a user increases or decreases, respectively, the volume of audio reproduced by device  500  (e.g., the volume of a content item currently-playing on device  500 ). In some embodiments, selection of “audio input” button  526  by a user allows the user to provide audio input (e.g., voice input) to device  500 , optionally, to a voice assistant on the device. In some embodiments, remote  510  includes a microphone via which the user provides audio input to device  500  upon selection of “audio input” button  526 . In some embodiments, remote  510  includes one or more accelerometers for detecting information about the motion of the remote. 
     User Interfaces and Associated Processes 
     Application Identification 
     Users interact with electronic devices in many different manners, including interacting with media (e.g., music, movies, live sporting events, etc.) that may be available (e.g., stored or otherwise accessible) on the electronic devices. In some circumstances, a user may request to view media on the electronic device that is accessible via one or more applications on the electronic device. The embodiments described below provide ways of presenting a user with options for viewing media on one or more applications, thereby enhancing users&#39; interactions with electronic devices. Enhancing interactions with a device reduces the amount of time needed by a user to perform operations, and thus reduces the power usage of the device and increases battery life for battery-powered devices. It is understood that people use devices. When a person uses a device, that person is optionally referred to as a user of the device. 
       FIGS. 6A-6EE  illustrate exemplary ways in which an electronic device presents a user with options for viewing media on one or more applications in accordance with some embodiments of the disclosure. The embodiments in these figures are used to illustrate the processes described below, including the processes described with reference to  FIGS. 7A-7N . 
     It should be noted that the examples illustrated in  FIGS. 6A-6EE  are directed to electronic devices that display information on non-touch-sensitive displays, though it is understood that the electronic devices may instead display information on displays having touch-sensitive capability (e.g., touch screens). For example, the electronic devices may include touch screens, or the electronic devices may be capable of outputting display information for display on separate touch screens, as previously described in this disclosure—in such circumstances, the displays described below optionally correspond to the touch screens mentioned above, and the inputs described below are optionally detected on the touch screens. 
       FIG. 6A  illustrates exemplary display  514 . Display  514  optionally displays one or more user interfaces that include various media. In the example illustrated in  FIG. 6A , display  514  displays media viewer user interface  602  of an electronic device (e.g., electronic device  500  of  FIG. 5A ) of which display  514  is a part, or to which display  514  is connected. The media viewer user interface  602  is optionally configured to display media (e.g., a future media event such as a future live concert or sporting event, an ongoing media event such as a live sporting event, or recorded media content such as a recorded sporting event, a movie, or a television show) on the electronic device. In the example of  FIG. 6A , user interface  602  is displaying media A (e.g., a movie). 
     In some embodiments, the electronic device includes one or more applications via which the electronic device has access to various media. For example, the electronic device optionally has a first application installed on it that provides access to a first set of media (e.g., the user of the electronic device may launch the first application to view the first set of media on the electronic device), and a second application installed on it that provides access to a second set of media (e.g., the user of the electronic device may launch the second application to view the second set of media on the electronic device). The electronic device optionally has additional or fewer applications on it for viewing media, as described above. Further, the electronic device optionally has the ability to download additional applications for viewing media that are not yet downloaded or installed on the electronic device. Additionally, in some embodiments, the user of the electronic device is optionally required to have entitlement to view media using a particular application (e.g., via a subscription or other access credentials) before that particular application provides the electronic device access to its media (e.g., the user is optionally required to subscribe to the particular application, or have a subscription with a media provider, such as a cable or satellite provider, that provides the user access to content through the particular application). The discussion that follows focuses on manners in which the electronic device presents, to the user of the electronic device, information about, and options for viewing, media available on such applications as described above. 
     For example, in some embodiments, the electronic device is configured to receive inputs, such as voice inputs, text inputs, etc., requesting information about a user-specified topic, such as information about one or more sporting events. For instance, using remote  510  of  FIG. 5B , a user of the electronic device optionally presses “voice input” button  526 , and provides voice input to remote  510  requesting information about a user-specified topic. In response, the electronic device searches for such information about the user-specified topic, and provides it to the user. For example, in  FIG. 6B , the user has provided the voice input “What is going on with the Giants game right now?”, as shown by the visual indication  604  of the voice input displayed by the electronic device on display  514 . In response, the electronic device displays, on display  514 , information about media that is relevant to the Giants game that the user specified, as shown in  FIG. 6C . Specifically, the electronic device optionally displays overlay  606 , which is overlaid over media A in user interface  602 , and includes the information about the Giants game. For example, overlay  606  includes a representation of the Giants game (e.g., representation  608 , which, in  FIG. 6C , includes the score of the Giants game—in some embodiments, representation  608  includes additional or alternative content, such as team logos, an image from the Giants game, etc.). 
     Overlay  606  also includes buttons  614 A and  614 B, indicating that the Giants game is available to watch on application A and application D. Specifically, the electronic device optionally has downloaded/installed on it applications A, D, E and F, as shown in box  612 . Further, the Giants game is optionally available to be viewed on applications A, B and D, as shown in box  610 . Therefore, because the electronic device has applications A and D, on which the Giants game is available, downloaded on it, overlay  606  includes button  614 A (selectable to watch the Giants game on application A) and button  614 B (selectable to watch the Giants game on application D). Overlay  606  does not include a button for watching the Giants game on application B, because application B is not downloaded on the electronic device. As a result, the user is able to easily see the applications on which the Giants game is available and that are already downloaded on the electronic device, and is able to easily launch an application to watch the Giants game by selecting an appropriate one of buttons  614 A and  614 B. 
     In the embodiment of  FIG. 6C , the electronic device optionally does not have information about the user&#39;s entitlement to watch the Giants game on a particular application, or does not account for such entitlement information in presenting buttons  614 A and  614 B to the user. However, in some embodiments, the electronic does account for user entitlement in providing buttons in overlay  606 . For example, in  FIG. 6D , the electronic device is optionally entitled to watch the Giants game (e.g., via user subscription(s) to applications and/or media providers) on applications D, E and F, as indicated by the dots next to applications D, E and F in box  612 . Thus, the electronic device optionally only displays button  614 B in overlay  606  for watching the Giants game on application D, and does not display button  614 A in overlay  606 , because the electronic device is not entitled to watch the Giants game on application A. In this way, the electronic device only gives the user the option to watch the Giants game on an application on which the electronic device has entitlement to watch the Giants game, thus facilitating the user&#39;s ability to quickly and easily watch the Giants game. 
     In some embodiments, rather than displaying different buttons for each application on which the Giants game is available to watch, the electronic device displays a single button, selection of which causes a disambiguation user interface to be displayed via which the user selects a particular application on which to watch the Giants game. For example, in  FIG. 6E , the electronic device makes the determination about which applications on which the Giants game should be watched without regard to entitlement information, as in  FIG. 6C . The information about which applications are downloaded on the electronic device, and on which applications the Giants game is available, is the same as in  FIG. 6C . Because the electronic device has two applications downloaded on it on which the Giants game is available (e.g., applications A and D), the electronic device displays a single button  616  in overlay  606  that indicates that the Giants game is available to be watched (e.g., “watch”), but does not indicate a particular application on which it should be watched. Rather, when the user selects button  616 , as shown in  FIG. 6E , the electronic device displays disambiguation user interface  618  from which the user selects the application on which the user wishes to watch the Giants game, as shown in  FIG. 6F . Specifically, disambiguation user interface  618  includes buttons  620  selectable by the user for selecting the application on which the user wishes to watch the Giants game (e.g., applications A and D, in  FIG. 6F ). In response to a selection, by the user, of a particular button in disambiguation user interface  618 , the electronic device displays the selected application on display  514 , and optionally plays the Giants game on the selected application. 
     If, instead of having two applications downloaded on it on which the Giants game is available, the electronic device only has one application downloaded on it on which the Giants game is available, the electronic device optionally indicates that one application in single button  616 , as shown in  FIG. 6G . Specifically, the Giants game is available on applications A, B and D, but the electronic device only has application A downloaded on it. As a result, the electronic device displays single button  616  indicating that the Giants game is available to be watched (e.g., “watch”), and indicating the particular application on which it should be watched (e.g., application A). Single button  616  is optionally selectable to launch and watch the Giants game on application A. 
     In  FIG. 6H , the electronic device has made the determination about which applications on which the Giants game should be watched while taking into account entitlement information, as in  FIG. 6D . Specifically, with the same information as in  FIGS. 6E-6F  about which applications are downloaded on the electronic device, and on which applications the Giants game is available, the electronic device has determined that the user should watch the Giants game on application D, because despite applications A and D both being downloaded on the electronic device, the electronic device only has entitlement to watch the Giants game on application D. As a result, the electronic device displays single button  616  indicating that the Giants game is available to be watched (e.g., “watch”), and indicating the particular application on which it should be watched (e.g., application D). Single button  616  is optionally selectable to launch and watch the Giants game on application D. 
     In  FIG. 6I , the electronic device has made the determination about which applications on which the Giants game should be watched without taking into account entitlement information. Specifically, in  FIG. 6I , the electronic device has applications A, B and D downloaded on it and on which the Giants game is available. As a result, the electronic device displays a single button  616  in overlay  606  that indicates that the Giants game is available to be watched (e.g., “watch”), but does not indicate a particular application on which it should be watched. Rather, when the user selects button  616 , as shown in  FIG. 6I , the electronic device displays disambiguation user interface  618  from which the user selects the application on which the user wishes to watch the Giants game, as shown in  FIG. 6J . Specifically, disambiguation user interface  618  includes buttons  620  selectable by the user for selecting the application on which the user wishes to watch the Giants game (e.g., applications A, B and D, in  FIG. 6J ). In response to a selection, by the user, of a particular button in disambiguation user interface  618 , the electronic device displays the selected application on display  514 , and optionally plays the Giants game on the selected application. If the electronic device in  FIG. 6I  had made the determination about which applications on which the Giants game should be watched while taking into account entitlement information, disambiguation user interface  618  would only include buttons  620  for applications A and D, as shown in  FIG. 6K , because the electronic device does not have entitlement to watch the Giants game on application B. 
     In some embodiments, the contents of single button  616  changes depending on whether or not the electronic device has at least one application downloaded on it on which the electronic device is entitled to watch the Giants game. For example, in  FIG. 6L , the electronic device has applications A and D downloaded on it on which the electronic device is entitled to watch the Giants game. As a result, the electronic device displays a single button  616  in overlay  606  that indicates that the Giants game is available to be watched (e.g., “watch”). However, if the electronic device has no applications downloaded on it on which the electronic device is entitled to watch the Giants game, but does have downloaded on it applications on which the Giants game is available, the electronic device optionally displays a single button  616  in overlay  606  that indicates the ability of the user to open an application on which the Giants game is available (e.g., “open”), but does not indicate an ability of the user to watch the Giants game, as shown in  FIG. 6M . 
     Also shown in  FIG. 6M  is a circumstance in which the electronic device has multiple applications downloaded on it on which the Giants game is available, but on none of those applications does the electronic device have entitlement to watch the Giants game. Specifically, the electronic device has applications A, B and D downloaded on it on which the Giants game is available, but the electronic device does not have entitlement to watch the Giants game on any of applications A, B and D. As a result, the electronic device displays a single button  616  in overlay  606  that indicates the ability of the user to open an application on which the Giants game is available (e.g., “open”), but does not indicate a particular application that will be opened. Rather, when the user selects button  616 , as shown in  FIG. 6M , the electronic device displays disambiguation user interface  618  from which the user selects the application the user wishes open, as shown in  FIG. 6N . Specifically, disambiguation user interface  618  includes buttons  620  selectable by the user for selecting the application the user wishes to open, and on which the Giants game is available (e.g., applications A, B and D, in  FIG. 6N ). In response to a selection, by the user, of a particular button in disambiguation user interface  618 , the electronic device displays the selected application on display  514 , without playing the Giants game on the display (e.g., because the electronic device is not entitled to watch the Giants game on any of applications A, B and D). 
     In  FIG. 6O , the electronic device has only one application downloaded on it on which the Giants game is available (e.g., application D), but the electronic device does not have entitlement to watch the Giants game on that application. As a result, the electronic device displays a single button  616  in overlay  606  that indicates the ability of the user to open a particular application on which the Giants game is available (e.g., “open D”), without indicating the ability of the user to watch the Giants game. Single button  616  is optionally selectable to display application D on display  514 , without playing the Giants game on the display (e.g., because the electronic device is not entitled to watch the Giants game on application D). 
     In some embodiments, the electronic device has multiple applications downloaded on it on which it is entitled to watch the Giants game, but one of those applications is preferred to the other applications (e.g., because watching the Giants game on that one application is free, while watching the Giants game on the other applications is not free).  FIG. 6P  illustrates such a circumstance. Specifically, the electronic device has applications A, B and D downloaded on it on which the Giants game is available, and the electronic device has entitlement to watch the Giants game on both of applications A and D. However, watching the Giants game on application A optionally costs money (indicated by “$” next to application A in box  612 ), whereas watching the Giants game on application D does not cost money. Therefore, application D is optionally preferred to application A for watching the Giants game. As a result, the electronic device displays single button  616  indicating that the Giants game is available to be watched (e.g., “watch”), and indicating the particular application on which it should be watched (e.g., application D). Single button  616  is optionally selectable to launch and watch the Giants game on application D. 
     In some embodiments, the electronic device has no applications downloaded on it on which the Giants game is available, as in  FIGS. 6Q-6Y . In such circumstances, single button  616  is optionally selectable to initiate a process for downloading an application on which the Giants game is available. For example, in  FIG. 6Q , the Giants game is available on applications A, B and D, and the electronic device has applications E and F downloaded on it. The electronic device has entitlement to watch the Giants game on application D, but the electronic device optionally does not account for entitlement information in making its determinations about which application the user should download. As a result, the electronic device displays a single button  616  in overlay  606  that indicates the ability of the user to download an application on which the Giants game is available (e.g., “download”), but does not indicate a particular application that will be downloaded. Rather, when the user selects button  616 , as shown in  FIG. 6Q , the electronic device displays disambiguation user interface  618  from which the user selects the application the user wishes to download, as shown in  FIG. 6R . Specifically, disambiguation user interface  618  includes buttons  620  selectable by the user for selecting the application the user wishes to download, and on which the Giants game is available (e.g., applications A, B and D, in  FIG. 6R ). In response to a selection, by the user, of a particular button in disambiguation user interface  618 , the electronic device downloads the selected application. 
     In some circumstances, rather than having multiple applications available for download on which the Giants game is available, only one application on which the Giants game is available is available for download, as in  FIG. 6S . In particular, the Giants game is only available on application A, and thus only application A is available for download. As a result, the electronic device displays a single button  616  in overlay  606  that indicates the ability of the user to download a particular application on which the Giants game is available (e.g., “download A”). Single button  616  is optionally selectable to download application A on the electronic device. 
     In some embodiments, the electronic device optionally does account for entitlement information in making its determinations about which application the user should download, as in  FIGS. 6T-6Y . Specifically, in  FIG. 6T , the Giants game is available on applications A, B and D that are downloadable by the electronic device, but the electronic device only has entitlement to watch the Giants game on application D. As a result, the electronic device displays a single button  616  in overlay  606  that indicates the ability of the user to download a particular application on which the Giants game is available (e.g., “download D”) and on which the electronic device is entitled to watch the Giants game. Single button  616  is optionally selectable to download application D on the electronic device. 
     In some circumstances, rather than having a single application on which the Giants game is available and on which the electronic device is entitled to watch the Giants game, there are multiple applications available for download on which the Giants game is available and on which the electronic device has entitlement to watch the Giants game, as in  FIG. 6U . Specifically, in  FIG. 6U , the Giants game is available on applications A, B and D that are downloadable by the electronic device, and the electronic device has entitlement to watch the Giants game on applications B and D. As a result, the electronic device displays a single button  616  in overlay  606  that indicates the ability of the user to download an application on which the Giants game is available (e.g., “download”), but does not indicate a particular application that will be downloaded. Rather, when the user selects button  616 , as shown in  FIG. 6U , the electronic device displays disambiguation user interface  618  from which the user selects the application the user wishes to download, as shown in  FIG. 6V . Specifically, disambiguation user interface  618  includes buttons  620  selectable by the user for selecting the application the user wishes to download, and on which the Giants game is available and on which the electronic device has entitlement to watch the Giants game (e.g., applications B and D, in  FIG. 6V ). In response to a selection, by the user, of a particular button in disambiguation user interface  618 , the electronic device downloads the selected application. 
       FIG. 6W  illustrates a circumstance in which the electronic device has multiple applications available for download on which the Giants game is available, but on none of those applications does the electronic device have entitlement to watch the Giants game. Specifically, the Giants game is available on applications A, B and D that are downloadable by the electronic device, but the electronic device does not have entitlement to watch the Giants game on any of those applications. Because, in this case, there are multiple applications available for download on which the Giants game is available (and no preference for one over the other resulting from entitlement information), the electronic device displays a single button  616  in overlay  606  that indicates the ability of the user to download an application on which the Giants game is available (e.g., “download”), but does not indicate a particular application that will be downloaded. Rather, when the user selects button  616 , as shown in  FIG. 6W , the electronic device displays disambiguation user interface  618  from which the user selects the application the user wishes to download, as shown in  FIG. 6X . Specifically, disambiguation user interface  618  includes buttons  620  selectable by the user for selecting the application the user wishes to download, and on which the Giants game is available (e.g., applications A, B and D, in  FIG. 6X ). In response to a selection, by the user, of a particular button in disambiguation user interface  618 , the electronic device downloads the selected application. 
     In some circumstances, rather than having multiple applications available for download on which the Giants game is available, only one application on which the Giants game is available is available for download, as in  FIG. 6Y . In particular, the Giants game is only available on application A, and thus only application A is available for download. As a result, the electronic device displays a single button  616  in overlay  606  that indicates the ability of the user to download a particular application on which the Giants game is available (e.g., “download A”). Single button  616  is optionally selectable to download application A on the electronic device. 
     In some embodiments, the Giants game is not available on any applications, as shown in  FIG. 6Z . The Giants game is optionally not available on any applications because it will not be available on an application at any time, or because it is not available on any applications at the current time, despite being available on an application at a later time. In such circumstances, the electronic device optionally displays a single button  616  in overlay  606  that indicates the ability of the user to view additional information about the Giants game (e.g., “information”), but does not indicate the ability of the user to download an application. Single button  616  is optionally selectable to view the additional information about the Giants game. Specifically, when the user selects button  616 , as shown in  FIG. 6Z , the electronic device displays additional information user interface  622  on display  514 , as shown in  FIG. 6AA . Additional information user interface  622  optionally includes additional information about the Giants game, such as the box score  626 , and information  624  about the television channel(s) and the time at which the Giants game is airing. In some embodiments, additional information user interface  622  replaces overlay  606  on display  514 , and is larger than overlay  606  on display (e.g., additional information user interface  622  is displayed on the full area of display  514 ). 
     In some circumstances, the user of the electronic device requests information about multiple media items (e.g., multiple games). For example, in  FIG. 6BB , the user has provided the voice input “What NBA games are on tonight?”, as shown by the visual indication  604  of the voice input displayed by the electronic device on display  514 . In response, the electronic device displays, on display  514 , overlay  606  overlaid on media A that includes multiple representations of media items that are relevant to the user&#39;s voice input, and buttons corresponding to those media items, as shown in  FIG. 6CC . Specifically, in response to the user&#39;s voice input, the electronic device has determined that five NBA games are on tonight. The electronic device is displaying, in overlay  606 , representations of these five NBA games (e.g., Lakers-Clippers with the current score, Spurs-Thunder with the current score, Heat-Warriors with the current score, Blazer-Celtics with the current score, and Cavs-Raptors with no score, as it has not yet begun), analogous to as described previously with reference to  FIG. 6C , for example. Each of the five NBA games has its own availability information, as shown in boxes  610 A (corresponding to Lakers-Clippers),  610 B (corresponding to Spurs-Thunder),  610 C (corresponding to Heat-Warriors),  610 D (corresponding to Blazers-Celtics) and  610 E (corresponding to Cavs-Raptors). Further, the electronic device has applications A, B and F downloaded on it, as shown in box  612 , and has entitlement to watch the Lakers-Clippers and Cavs-Raptors games on application A. 
     In  FIG. 6C , each representation of the NBA games is displayed with a button  616 . The appearance and function of each of buttons  616 A (corresponding to Lakers-Clippers),  616 B (corresponding to Spurs-Thunder),  616 C (corresponding to Heat-Warriors),  616 D (corresponding to Blazers-Celtics) and  616 E (corresponding to Cavs-Raptors) is determined by the electronic device based on the availability of the games, the entitlement(s) of the electronic device, the applications that are downloaded on the electronic device and/or the status of the games (e.g., live, recorded, future, etc.), as described with reference to  FIGS. 6A-6AA . Thus, buttons  616  in  FIG. 6CC  optionally have any combination of appearances and functions of the buttons described with reference to  FIGS. 6A-6AA . For example, in  FIG. 6CC , button  616 A indicates “watch on A,” because the Lakers-Clippers game is available on application A, application A is downloaded on the electronic device, and the electronic device has entitlement to watch the Lakers-Clippers game on application A. Button  616 A is optionally selectable to watch the Lakers-Clippers game on application A (e.g., selection of button  616 A optionally launches application A on the electronic device, and displays the Lakers-Clippers game in application A). Button  616 B indicates “open B,” because the Spurs-Thunder game is available on applications B and D, but the electronic device only has application B downloaded on it, and the electronic device does not have entitlement to watch the Spurs-Thunder game on application B. Thus, button  616 B is optionally selectable to launch application B on the electronic device, without displaying the Spurs-Thunder game on application B. 
     Button  616 C indicates “download,” because the Heat-Warriors game is available on applications E and G, neither of which is downloaded on the electronic device, and via neither of which is the electronic device entitled to watch the Heat-Warriors game. Thus, button  616 C is optionally selectable to display a disambiguation user interface (e.g., as described with reference to  FIG. 6R ) where the user optionally selects which of applications E and G to download to the electronic device. Button  616 D indicates “information,” because the Blazers-Celtics game is not available to be watched on any application. Thus, button  616 D is optionally selectable to display additional information about the Blazers-Celtics game (e.g., as described with reference to  FIG. 6AA ). Finally, button  616 E indicates “information,” because while the Cavs-Raptors game is available on application A, and the electronic device has entitlement to watch the Cavs-Raptors game on application A, the Cavs-Raptors game has not yet started (e.g., it starts at 9 pm, which is in the future). Thus, button  616 E is optionally selectable to display additional information about the Cavs-Raptors game (e.g., as described with reference to  FIG. 6AA ). 
       FIG. 6DD  illustrates a scenario in which media having different status are provided by different applications (e.g., live media is available on one or more applications, while recorded media is available on one or more different applications, etc.), and thus the applications associated with buttons  616  depend the status of the media associated with the buttons. For example, the Lakers-Clippers game, the Spurs-Thunder game and the Blazers-Celtics game are live, while the Heat-Warriors game is recorded (the Cavs-Raptors game has not yet started). Button  616 A indicates “watch on A,” because the Lakers-Clippers game is available on application A because it is live, application A is downloaded on the electronic device, and the electronic device has entitlement to watch the Lakers-Clippers game on application A. Button  616 A is optionally selectable to watch the Lakers-Clippers game on application A (e.g., selection of button  616 A optionally launches application A on the electronic device, and displays the Lakers-Clippers game in application A). Button  616 B also indicates “watch on A,” because the Spurs-Thunder game is available on application A because it is live, application A is downloaded on the electronic device, and the electronic device has entitlement to watch the Spurs-Thunder game on application A. Thus, button  616 B is optionally selectable to watch the Spurs-Thunder game on application A. 
     In contrast, button  616 C indicates “watch on F,” because the Heat-Warriors game is available on application F because it is recorded, application F is downloaded on the electronic device, and the electronic device has entitlement to watch the Heat-Warriors game on application F. Button  616 C is optionally selectable to watch the Heat-Warriors game on application F. Button  616 D indicates “information,” because the Blazers-Celtics game is not available to be watched on any application. Thus, button  616 D is optionally selectable to display additional information about the Blazers-Celtics game (e.g., as described with reference to  FIG. 6AA ). Finally, button  616 E indicates “information,” because while the Cavs-Raptors game is available on application A, and the electronic device has entitled to watch the Cavs-Raptors game on application A, the Cavs-Raptors game has not yet started (e.g., it starts at 9 pm, which is in the future). Thus, button  616 E is optionally selectable to display additional information about the Cavs-Raptors game (e.g., as described with reference to  FIG. 6AA ). 
       FIG. 6EE  illustrates a scenario in which the applications associated with buttons  616  depend on the entitlements of the electronic device. For example, the electronic device is entitled to watch the Lakers-Clippers and Heat-Warriors games on application A, but is entitled to watch the Spurs-Thunder game on application B. Therefore, buttons  616 A and  616 C indicate “watch on A,” and button  616 B indicates “watch on B.” The remaining details of buttons  616 A,  616 B,  616 C,  616 D and  616 E are optionally as described above with respect to  FIGS. 6A-6DD . 
       FIGS. 7A-7N  are flow diagrams illustrating a method  700  of presenting a user with options for viewing media on one or more applications in accordance with some embodiments of the disclosure. The method  700  is optionally performed at an electronic device such as device  100 , device  300  or device  500  as described above with reference to  FIGS. 1A-1B, 2-3 and 5A-5B . Some operations in method  700  are, optionally, combined and/or the order of some operations is, optionally, changed. 
     As described below, the method  700  provides ways of presenting a user with options for viewing media on one or more applications. The method reduces the cognitive burden on a user when interacting with a user interface of the device of the disclosure, thereby creating a more efficient human-machine interface. For battery-operated electronic devices, increasing the efficiency of the user&#39;s interaction with the user interface conserves power and increases the time between battery charges. 
     In some embodiments, the method  700  is performed at an electronic device (e.g., a set-top box, a computer, etc., such as device  100 , device  300  or device  500 ) that is in communication with a display (e.g., a television, a computer monitor, etc., such as display  514 ) and one or more input devices (e.g., a remote control, such as remote  510 , a smartphone configured to control the electronic device, such as device  511 , a wearable device configured to control the electronic device, etc.). In some embodiments, the method is performed at an electronic device that includes the display and/or the one or more input devices, such as an electronic device with a touch screen (e.g., a tablet computer, a smartphone, etc.), or an electronic device (e.g., a computer) that includes a display and is in communication with an input device, such as a mouse or a trackpad. In some embodiments, the electronic device receives ( 702 ), via the one or more input devices, an input (e.g., a voice input, a text input, etc.) corresponding to a request for information about a user-specified topic, such as in  FIG. 6B  (e.g., an input by a user requesting information about a sports game). In response to receiving the input corresponding to the request for information about the user-specified topic, the electronic device displays ( 704 ), on the display, information about media that is relevant to the user-specified topic, such as in  FIG. 6C  (e.g., information about the sports game inquired about, such as the score, the teams, the remaining time, etc.). In some embodiments, displaying the information about media that is relevant to the user-specified topic includes concurrently displaying a representation of respective media (e.g., a future media event such as a future live concert or sporting event, an ongoing media event such as a live sporting event, or recorded media content such as a recorded sporting event, a movie, or a television show) that is available for viewing on a first set of applications (e.g., an ESPN application, an HBO application, etc.), the electronic device having a second set of applications downloaded (e.g., installed) on it, and a respective selectable user interface element (e.g., a button) associated with the respective media, such as button  614 A in  FIG. 6C . The respective selectable user interface element is optionally selectable to quickly and easily watch the respective media, launch an application for watching the respective media, download an application for watching the respective media, or obtaining information about the respective media, which increases the efficiency of the human-machine interface. In some embodiments, in accordance with a determination that the second set of applications includes at least one application in the first set of applications via which the respective media is available for viewing (e.g., an application for viewing the respective media is already downloaded on the electronic device), the respective selectable user interface element is selectable to initiate a process for launching a respective application of the first set of applications ( 706 ), such as button  614 B in  FIG. 6D . Optionally, the user interface element is selectable to directly launch the respective application, such as button  614 B in  FIG. 6D . Optionally, the user interface element is selectable to display a list of applications available on the electronic device for viewing the media, and selection of one of which causes the selected application to launch on the electronic device, such button  616  as in  FIG. 6E . 
     In some embodiments, the second set of applications includes at least one application in the first set of applications via which the respective media is available for viewing (e.g., an application for viewing the respective media is already downloaded on the electronic device) ( 708 ). The electronic device receives ( 710 ), via the one or more input devices, selection of the respective selectable user interface element. In response to receiving the selection of the respective selectable user interface element ( 712 ): in accordance with a determination that the second set of applications includes a plurality of applications in the first set of applications, such as in  FIG. 6E  (e.g., more than one application for viewing the respective media is downloaded on the electronic device, independent of whether the user of the electronic device is entitled to view the media on those applications), the electronic device displays ( 714 ), on the display, representations of the plurality of applications in the first set of applications, including a respective representation of the respective application of the first set of applications, such as in  FIG. 6E  (e.g., selection of the respective selectable user interface element causes display of the applications on which the media is viewable so that the user can select the application on which the user wishes to view the media). In this way, the electronic device provides an easy way for the user to select an application, increasing the efficiency of the human-machine interface.
