Various implementations disclosed herein include devices, systems, and methods for autocompleting data fields based on interaction with a person. In various implementations, a device includes a display, a non-transitory memory and one or more processors coupled with the display and the non-transitory memory. In various implementations, a method includes displaying, on the display, a graphical user interface (GUI) that includes a set of data fields including a first data field that accepts a first type of data. In some implementations, the method includes detecting that a user of the device is interacting with a person. In some implementations, the method includes obtaining the first type of data associated with the person. In some implementations, the method includes displaying an affordance that, when activated, triggers the device to populate the first data field with the first type of data associated with the person.

Autocompleting data fields based on interaction with a person

An electronic device displays a media capture user interface that includes a media capture preview of objects in a field of view of the camera. While displaying the media capture user interface, the electronic device scans the field of view of the camera for data encoded in an optical machine-readable format. In accordance with a determination that the field of view of the camera includes data encoded in the optical machine-readable format that meets respective notification criteria, the electronic device displays a notification that indicates that the camera application has detected data encoded in the optical machine-readable format. In accordance with a determination that the field of view of the camera does not include data encoded in the optical machine-readable format that meets the respective notification criteria, the electronic device maintains display of the media capture user interface of the camera application without displaying the notification.

Device, method, and graphical user interface for handling data encoded in machine-readable format

Systems and methods for displaying an icon representation of a webpage are provided. In one exemplary method, while displaying a web browser, an electronic device receives a request to display an icon representation of a webpage. In response to receiving the request, the device determines whether the webpage provides access to an image that meets predefined quality standards. In accordance with a determination that the webpage provides access to an image that meets predefined quality standards, the device displays the high-quality image as an icon associated with the webpage at a respective location in the web browser. In accordance with a determination that the webpage does not provide access to an image that meets the predefined quality standards, the device identifies other content associated with the webpage, generates a generated icon based on the content, and displays the generated icon at a respective location in the web browser.

Browser with docked tabs

The present disclosure generally relates to user interfaces for enabling an activity using a computer system. In some embodiments, exemplary user interfaces for invoking an activity associated with an application are described. In some embodiments, exemplary user interfaces for customizing displayed content based on circumstances under which the content was invoked are described. In some embodiments, exemplary user interfaces for managing applications that were used to enable activities are described. In some embodiments, exemplary user interfaces for managing settings for applications used to enable activities are described.

User interfaces for enabling an activity

The present aspects relate to audio management for a web browser. For example, an electronic device such as a mobile device may enable a user to navigate to a webpage within a web browser. In some embodiments, the webpage may automatically initiate presentation of audio content. However, the user may wish to quickly silence the audio content that is playing without locating the media player controls of the audio content within the webpage. Accordingly, the present aspects provide audio control for a web browser. Specifically, an audio control affordance may be displayed at a noticeable and recognizable position or area in the web browser, and based on a determination that a webpage includes audio content and/or determination of playback of the audio content. The user may in turn readily adjust a property of the audio content.

Audio control for web browser

Systems and methods for providing and managing docked browser tabs are provided. In one exemplary method, a webpage may be open in a first tab in a browser application on an electronic device. In response to one or more inputs, the state of the webpage in the first tab may be changed. A user may request to open the webpage in a second tab that is different from the first tab; and it may then be determined whether the first tab is a docked tab and whether the webpage is associated with a docked tab. In accordance with a determination that the webpage is associated with a docked tab and that the first tab is a docked tab, the webpage is presented with the state of the webpage in the first tab. In accordance with a determination that the webpage is associated with a standard tab and that the first tab is not a docked tab, the webpage may be presented in the second tab with a state different from the state of the webpage in the first tab.

A content list panel displays a list of article representations. In response to a selection of an article representation from the content list panel, the content application loads an article associated with the selected article representation in addition to one or more second articles. By preloading the second articles, the user can continuously read through different articles in the main window of the content application without having to select an article representation from the content list panel.

Continuous reading of articles

One embodiment of a method for archiving and restoring web pages can remove elements from web data to be stored as web archive data that can cause two or more substantially similar elements to appear within a web page later created from the web archive data. In another embodiment, a web page can be constructed from web archive data. This constructed web page may not be displayed, but can be inspected for substantially similar elements so that those elements can be removed. After the elements are removed, then the web page can be displayed to a user. Either embodiment can be used alone or in parallel to reduce the appearance of substantially similar elements within a web page constructed from a web archive.

Method and apparatus for archiving dynamic webpages based on source attributes

A method for improving backward and forward web browser performance is described. In one embodiment, backward and forward web performance is enhanced by ignoring unload handler scripts and caching web pages. Web elements with unload handler scripts are examined. In a first pass, if the web page elements are not determined to be significant, then the related unload handler scripts can be ignored, enabling the web page to be cached. In a second pass, if the web page element is significant, but the unload handler script is determined to be insignificant, then the unload handler script can be ignored and the web page can be cached.

Method for improving backward/forward performance between certain types of dynamic web pages

User input is received to create a bookmark in a web browser for a non-feed Uniform Resource Locator (URL). A web feed associated with the non-feed URL is determined. A subscription to the web feed is automatically created. An indication of new web content is received from the web feed. The bookmark for the non-feed URL is decorated to provide a visual indication of the new web content.

Feed for enhanced web browsing

A rendering engine that supports directional focus navigation, in response to a directional input, shifts the focus to an appropriate focusable element. The rendering engine determines one or more focusable elements that are candidates to receive the focus based on the received directional input and based on the relative display locations of the focusable elements. The rendering engine selects the most appropriate candidate focusable element based on each candidate element's display location in relation to the display location of the element that currently has focus.

Directional focus navigation

Proxy functionality is described for receiving a request for markup content from a receiving device, retrieving the markup content, converting the markup content to code-bearing content, and transferring the code-bearing content to the receiving device. The receiving device can then consume the code-bearing content without the use of conventional browser functionality. The proxy functionality can convert the markup content to code-bearing content by identifying a set of features that captures the characteristics of the markup language content, and then translating those features into to the code-bearing content (in association with identified data resources). The converting can also include identifying features that are contingent on focusable elements (e.g., links) having focus (or not having focus), and formulating this dependency in conditional statements within the code-bearing content. Finally, the markup content can also include code content embedded therein or referenced therein.
