Abstract: An electronic device receives a first set of one or more inputs corresponding to user interface elements displayed on the display and a first set of one or more tactile outputs, and also receives a second set of one or more inputs corresponding to one or more hardware elements and a second set of one or more tactile outputs. In response, in accordance with a determination that the first set of one or more tactile outputs and the second set of one or more tactile outputs overlap, the device outputs, with one or more tactile output generators, a modified tactile output sequence that is modified so as to emphasize the second set of one or more tactile outputs relative to the first set of one or more tactile outputs.

Abstract: An electronic device can include one or more user-selectable input areas. The user-selectable input area(s) may be situated at any suitable location in an electronic device. For example, the user-selectable input area can be displayed on a touchscreen display, positioned below a portion of an enclosure of the electronic device, and/or associated with, or included in, an input device in the electronic device. A user input may be guided to a user-selectable input area by providing one or more types of feedback to the user. The feedback can be tactile feedback, auditory feedback, olfactory feedback, visual feedback, and combinations thereof. Additionally, in some situations, the boundary or active area of a user-selectable input area is adjusted and a user input that is detected in the adjusted active area is associated with the user-selectable input area.

Abstract: An electronic device that provides situationally-aware alerts determines to provide an alert output (such as haptic, audio, visual, and so on) via an output device, determines a movement pattern based on one or more signals from one or more sensors indicating information relating at least to movement of the electronic device, and adjusts the alert output to account for the movement pattern. In some implementations, the electronic device may adjust the alert output by delaying the alert output. In other implementations, the electronic device may adjust the alert output by altering the alert output to be discernible despite the movement pattern based on a cadence of the movement pattern. In still other implementations, the electronic device may determine to provide the alert output in response to receiving an incoming communication and may adjust the alert output differently based on a priority associated with the incoming communication.
