    Abstract: In some embodiments, an electronic device optionally identifies a person's face, and optionally performs an action in accordance with the identification. In some embodiments, an electronic device optionally determines a gaze location in a user interface, and optionally performs an action in accordance with the determination. In some embodiments, an electronic device optionally designates a user as being present at a sound-playback device in accordance with a determination that sound-detection criteria and verification criteria have been satisfied. In some embodiments, an electronic device optionally determines whether a person is further or closer than a threshold distance from a display device, and optionally provides a first or second user interface for display on the display device in accordance with the determination. In some embodiments, an electronic device optionally modifies the playing of media content in accordance with a determination that one or more presence criteria are not satisfied.

    Abstract: A computing device having a touch-sensitive surface and a display, detects a stylus input on the touch-sensitive surface while displaying a user interface. A first operation is performed in the user interface in accordance with a determination that the stylus input includes movement of the stylus across the touch-sensitive surface while the stylus is detected on the touch-sensitive surface. A second operation different from the first operation is performed in the user interface in accordance with a determination that the stylus input includes rotation of the stylus around an axis of the stylus while the stylus is detected on the touch-sensitive surface. A third operation is performed in the user interface in accordance with a determination that the stylus input includes movement of the stylus across the touch-sensitive surface and rotation of the stylus around an axis of the stylus while the stylus is detected on the touch-sensitive surface.

    Abstract: The present disclosure generally relates to capturing and displaying video with multiple focal planes. The video includes a subject with a predefined portion of the subject identified in a first focal region. When a set of one or more conditions is met, the video is displayed with a focal plane of the video selected to be outside of the first focal region. When the set of one or more conditions is met is no longer met; and the video is displayed with the focal plane of the video selected to be inside of the first focal region.

    Abstract: An example method is performed at a device with a touch-sensitive surface and a display. The method includes: displaying a position indicator within displayed text while an input object meets hover criteria. The method also includes: detecting a first movement of the input object that includes a component of movement parallel to the touch-sensitive surface. In response to detecting the first movement, the method includes: moving the position indicator in accordance with the first movement. After moving the position indicator, the method includes: detecting a second movement of the input object. And, the method includes in response to detecting the second movement and in accordance with a determination that the second movement of the input object is detected while the input object is in contact with the touch-sensitive surface, selecting text in accordance with the second movement of the input object.
