MUSIC USER INTERFACE - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240295948 titled 'MUSIC USER INTERFACE

The present disclosure pertains to music user interfaces. A device with a display and a rotatable input mechanism, along with processors, memory, and programs, is described. When the first user input is received, the programs may instruct to switch from displaying an audio playback user interface to showing a first user interface from a set of user interfaces. While displaying the first user interface, the programs may further instruct to receive a second user input representing a directional swipe in a second direction, and in response, switch back to displaying the audio playback user interface.

• Device includes display, rotatable input mechanism, processors, memory, and programs
• Programs switch between audio playback user interface and set of user interfaces based on user input
• Second user input triggers switch back to audio playback user interface

Potential Applications: - Music player applications - Entertainment systems - Interactive displays

Problems Solved: - Seamless transition between different user interfaces - Enhanced user experience in music playback

Benefits: - Improved user interaction with music player devices - Simplified navigation between different interfaces

Commercial Applications: Title: Innovative Music Player Interface Technology for Enhanced User Experience This technology can be used in various music player applications, entertainment systems, and interactive displays to provide users with a seamless and intuitive interface for controlling audio playback.

Questions about Music User Interfaces: 1. How does this technology improve the user experience in music playback? This technology enhances the user experience by providing a smooth transition between different user interfaces, making it easier for users to navigate and control audio playback.

2. What are the potential commercial applications of this innovative music player interface technology? This technology can be applied in music player applications, entertainment systems, and interactive displays to offer users a more intuitive and engaging experience.

Original Abstract Submitted

the present disclosure relates to music user interfaces. a device, comprising a display and a rotatable input mechanism, one or more processors, memory, and one or more programs, is described. in response to receiving the first user input, the one or more programs may include instructions for ceasing display of an audio playback user interface and displaying a first user interface of a first set of user interfaces. while displaying the user interface of the first user interfaces, the one or more programs may include instructions for: receiving a second user input representing a directional swipe in a second direction and, in response to receiving the second user input, ceasing display of the first user interface of a first set of user interfaces and displaying the audio playback user interface.
