Abstract: The present disclosure generally relates to techniques and interfaces for managing media playback devices. In some embodiments, the techniques include varying a feedback based on movement of a computer system toward or away from an external device. In some embodiments, the techniques include displaying an interface that includes controls for controlling media playback on an external device when the computer system and the external device are playing media. In some embodiments, the techniques include performing operations at a computer system in response to an input having a size that is less than or greater than a size threshold. In some embodiments, the techniques include performing different operations at a computer system when status lights have states that indicate different states of the computer system.

Abstract: Systems and processes for operating an intelligent automated assistant are provided. In one example, a user request for a media item is received. Based on the user request, at least one media item and a description of the at least one media item are identified. A confidence level is obtained that an identified media item of the at least one media item corresponds to the requested media item. In accordance with a determination that the confidence level exceeds a first confidence threshold, a length of the identified description is reduced to obtain a modified description and the modified description of the identified media item is provided in a first spoken response.

Abstract: While concurrently displaying a first application view and a second application view in a first concurrent-display configuration of multiple different concurrent-display configurations, a first input that includes movement is directed to the first application view and drags a representation of the first application view across the display. While the representation of the first application view is dragged over different portions of the display, different visual indications are displayed to indicate that an end of the first input will result in the first application view and the second application view being displayed in a respective one of the different concurrent-display configurations. In response to detecting the end of the first input, depending on over which portion of the display the first input ended, the first application view and the second application view are displayed in a corresponding concurrent-display configurations of the multiple concurrent-display configurations.

Abstract: Techniques are disclosed for providing a notification that a person is at a particular location. For example, a resident device may receive from a user device an image that shows a face of a first person, the image being captured by a first camera of the user device. The resident device may also receive, from another device having a second camera, a second image showing a portion of a face of a second person, the second camera having a viewable area showing a particular location. The resident device may determine a score indicating a level of similarity between a first set of characteristics associated with the face of the first person and a second set of characteristics associated with the face of a second person. The resident device may then provide to the user device a notification based on determining the score.

Abstract: A method for multitasking include displaying a dock containing application icons corresponding to different application concurrently with a first user interface of a first application; detecting a first input directed to an application icon corresponding to a second application in the dock; in accordance with a determination that the second application is associated with multiple windows, displaying a first representation of a first window for the second application and a second representation of a second window for the second application concurrently with the first user interface of the first application in a second region of the display area; and in accordance with a determination that the second application is associated with only a single window, displaying a second user interface of the second application concurrently with the first user interface of the first application.

Abstract: A location control subsystem is provided that allows a user of an electronic device to define the granularity used to provide location coarseness. A user can define a coarse location granularity for an application. When a coarse device location is reported to an application, the location can be provided with at least a minimum degree of variable specificity based on the selected location coarseness. When an application is granted a coarse location, the application is to interpret the provided location indicating that the user may be anywhere within a geographic region of variable specificity, as opposed to being close to a center point with a horizontal accuracy based on the precision of the location fix, as when a fine granularity location is provided. In addition to reducing the spatial resolution of the location that is reported to the application, the temporal resolution may also be reduced.
