Description

CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS[0001]This application claims priority to U.S. Provisional Patent Application Nos. 63 / 008,586, “USER INTERFACES FOR ENABLING AN ACTIVITY,” filed Apr. 10, 2020; 63 / 022,869, “USER INTERFACES FOR ENABLING AN ACTIVITY,” filed May 11, 2020; 63 / 032,970, “USER INTERFACES FOR ENABLING AN ACTIVITY,” filed Jun. 1, 2020. All of these applications are incorporated by reference herein in their entirety.FIELD[0002]The present disclosure relates generally to computer user interfaces, and more specifically to techniques for enabling an activity using a computer system.BACKGROUND[0003]Computer systems can include applications that are installed on the computer system. Installed applications can be used on the computer system to perform operations on the computer system. Applications that are not available on the computer system can be downloaded and installed on the computer system, such as a from an application store that is accessible by the computer system.B...

AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

This patent describes a computer system that allows users to perform activities faster and more efficiently. The system provides methods and interfaces that can be used alone or in combination with other methods. This reduces the cognitive burden on the user and improves the user's experience. Battery-operated devices can conserve power and increase battery life while still providing quick and easy access to performing activities. Users may not have been aware of the devices' capabilities before using them. Overall, this technology improves the functionality and user satisfaction of devices.

Problems solved by technology

Some techniques for enabling an activity using computer systems (e.g., electronic devices), however, are generally cumbersome and inefficient.

For example, some existing techniques use a complex and time-consuming user interface, which may include multiple key presses or keystrokes.

Existing techniques require more time than necessary, wasting user time and device energy.
