Abstract: An electronic device with a first off-display input region detects a first portion of an input on the input region. In response to the first portion of the input: when the first portion of the input meets first criteria without a characteristic intensity of the first input increasing above a first intensity threshold, the electronic device provides a first output that indicates a current state of a first attribute of the electronic device without altering the first attribute. The electronic device detects a second portion of the input. In response to the second portion of the input: if the second portion of the first input meets second criteria that require the characteristic intensity of the input increases above the first intensity threshold, the electronic device performs a first operation that alters the first attribute of the electronic device; and otherwise, the electronic device forgoes performing the first operation.

Abstract: A finger-mounted device may include finger-mounted units. The finger-mounted units may each have a body that serves as a support structure for components such as force sensors, accelerometers, and other sensors and for haptic output devices. The body may have sidewall portions coupled by a portion that rests adjacent to a user's fingernail. The body may be formed from deformable material such as metal or may be formed from adjustable structures such as sliding body portions that are coupled to each other using magnetic attraction, springs, or other structures. The body of each finger-mounted unit may have a U-shaped cross-sectional profile that leaves the finger pad of each finger exposed when the body is coupled to a fingertip of a user's finger. Control circuitry may gather finger press input, lateral finger movement input, and finger tap input using the sensors and may provide haptic output using the haptic output device.

Abstract: An electronic device: while displaying a user interface, detects an input sequence that includes detecting an increase in a characteristic intensity of a contact on a button. In response, the device determines whether the increase is above a first intensity threshold and whether a change in the characteristic intensity proximate to a time when the characteristic intensity increases above the first intensity threshold has a first or a second value for an intensity-change metric. If the increase is above the threshold and the change has the first value, the device performs a first operation that changes the user interface displayed on the display; and generates a first discrete tactile output that corresponds to the increase. If the increase is above the threshold and the change has the second value, the device performs the first operation and generates a second discrete tactile output that corresponds to the increase.

Abstract: An application-independent module associates a first type of event with a first tactile output and a distinct second type of event with a different second tactile output. An electronic device receives and generates a response to first information from a first application by generating the first tactile output using one or more tactile output generators if the first information corresponds to an application event of the first type; and generating the second tactile output using the one or more tactile output generators if the first information corresponds to an application event of the second type. The electronic device receives and generates a response to second information from a distinct second application by generating the first tactile output if the second information corresponds to an application event of the first type; and generating the second tactile output if the second information corresponds to an application event of the second type.

Abstract: An electronic device: while displaying a user interface, detects an input sequence that includes detecting an increase in a characteristic intensity of a contact on a home button. In response, the device determines whether the increase is above a first intensity threshold and whether a change in the characteristic intensity proximate to a time when the characteristic intensity increases above the first intensity threshold has a first or a second value for an intensity-change metric. If the increase is above the threshold and the change has the first value, the device performs a first operation that changes the user interface displayed on the display; and generates a first discrete tactile output that corresponds to the increase. If the increase is above the threshold and the change has the second value, the device performs the first operation and generates a second discrete tactile output that corresponds to the increase.

Abstract: An electronic device displays a user interface for a first software application. The user interface includes multiple elements to which user interaction models from multiple user interaction models provided by an application-independent module have been assigned (including a first element to which a first user interaction model has been assigned). The multiple elements have content provided by an application-specific module for the first software application. The first user interaction model defines how the user interface responds to inputs directed to the first element. The device detects an input directed to the first element; and updates the user interface based on characteristics of the input. If the input meets tactile output criteria specified by the first user interaction model, the device generates a first tactile output corresponding to the input, and if not, the device forgoes generation of the first tactile output.

Abstract: An electronic device includes a display and a first input region that is separate from the display. In response to detecting a substantially stationary input on the first input region, the electronic device displays selectable options on the display. While displaying the selectable options on the display, the device detects a movement input on the first input region. In response to detecting the movement input on the first input region, the device selects different selectable options from the displayed selectable options based on the characteristic values of the movement input on the first input region.
