Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes a computer system that displays different user interfaces based on user input and application states.
- The computer system initially displays the first user interface of an application.
- If the user requests to dismiss the first user interface, it is no longer displayed.

Original Abstract Submitted
A computer system displays, in display area outside of a status region, a first user interface of a respective application executing on the computer system. The computer system detects a user input corresponding to a request to dismiss the first user interface and ceases to display, in the display area, the first user interface. The computer system displays in the status region an indication of a current state of the respective application and displays a second user interface that is associated with respective software. The computer system detects a user input to navigate from the second user interface that is associated with respective software that is different from the respective application to a third user interface and displays the third user interface in the display area outside of the status region while continuing to display, in the status region, the indication of a current state of the respective application.
