An electronic device, while displaying messaging user interface that includes a conversation transcript of a messaging session between a user of the electronic device and at least one other user, a plurality of electronic stickers, and a message-input area, detects a drag gesture that starts while a focus selector is at a first location in the messaging user interface that corresponds to an electronic sticker in the plurality of electronic stickers, and in response, moves the electronic sticker in the first direction in accordance with movement of the drag gesture. Upon termination of the drag gesture while the focus selector is at a second location in the messaging user interface, if the second location is within the conversation transcript, the electronic device places the electronic sticker in the conversation transcript at a location based on the second location, and otherwise ceases to display the electronic sticker.

In an embodiment, a wearable multimedia device, comprises: a housing configured to attach to clothing of a user; a wide field-of-view camera embedded in the housing; one or more processors; memory storing instructions that when executed by the one or more processors, causes the one or more processors to perform operations comprising: capturing, using the camera, an image of a scene that includes a bar code displayed by a terminal device; determining an intent of the user to read the bar code; in accordance with the user's intent to read the barcode: cropping the barcode from the image of the scene; establishing, using the bar code, a communication channel with the terminal device; receiving, using the communication channel, transaction data from the terminal device; and responsive to the transaction data, sending, using the communication channel, authentication credentials to the terminal device.

Bar code detection and authentication for contactless transactions using wearable multimedia device

An electronic device displays a messaging user interface of a message application, including a conversation transcript of a messaging session between a user of the electronic device and at least one other user, and a first message region that includes a current version of a first message in the messaging session. The conversation transcript includes an indication that the current version of the first message is a revised version of the first message in the conversation transcript. In response to detecting an input that corresponds to a request to see versions of the first message, the electronic device displays a versions user interface that includes the current version of the first message and one or more prior versions of the first message.

Devices, methods, and graphical user interfaces for messaging

Systems, methods, devices and non-transitory, computer-readable storage mediums are disclosed for gesture recognition for a wearable multimedia device using real-time data streams. In an embodiment, a method comprises: detecting a trigger event from one or more real-time data streams running on a wearable multimedia device; taking one or more data snapshots of the one or more real-time data streams; inferring user intent from the one or more data snapshots; and selecting a service or preparing content for the user based on the inferred user intent. In an embodiment, a hand and finger pointing direction is determined from a depth image, a 2D bounding box for the hand/finger is projected into a 2D image space and compared to bounding boxes for identified/labeled objects in the 2D image space to identify an object that the hand is holding or the finger is pointing toward.

Gesture recognition for wearable multimedia device using real-time data streams

A portable battery pack and portable electronic device communicate by pulsing (turning on/off) their respective battery chargers causing variations in a magnetic field between the battery pack and portable electronic device that can be used to transmit and receive short messages through their respective coils using a magnetic communication protocol. Data or messages can be transferred between portable battery pack and portable electronic device when the portable battery pack and portable electronic device are in a mated configuration. The magnetic communication protocol allows for bi-directional communication of various battery status indicators and other data from the portable battery pack to the portable electronic device and vice-versa. The magnetic communication also allows the portable electronic device to be authenticated by the portable battery pack or vice-versa, such that the absence of any communication between the portable electronic device and portable battery pack renders the portable electronic device fully/partially inoperable.

Portable battery pack for wirelessly charging and communicating with portable electronic device through clothing

An electronic device displays a messaging user interface of a message application, including a conversation transcript of a messaging session between a user of the electronic device and at least one other user, a message-input area, the conversation transcript including a plurality of messages and a plurality of message regions, each message region containing a respective message of the plurality of messages. In response to a first input corresponding to a first respective message in the conversation transcript, displaying an indication that the first respective message has been selected. In response to one or more second inputs, including message composition inputs, displaying in a second message region in the conversation transcript a second message corresponding to the message composition inputs, and displaying a grouping indicia that connects the first respective message region with the second message region.

An electronic device displays a messaging interface. The messaging user interface includes a search affordance and a conversation between a user of the device and another user. While displaying the messaging interface, the device detects activation of the search affordance. In response, the device ceases displaying the messaging interface and displays a search interface. The search user interface includes a search field and categorized content items. The categorized content items include a content item stored on the device and a content item from the Internet. While displaying the search interface, the device detects selection of a first item in the categorized content items; and, afterwards, displays the first item in the conversation. The device transmits the first item to the device that corresponds to the other user in the messaging session. The other user's device displays the item in a conversation that corresponds to the messaging session.
