A communication device includes one or more processors and one or more memories supporting communication, the device comprising a plurality of modes, including at least one focused mode. When the device is in the focused mode, one or more features of the device are at least partially disabled, and wherein the one or more features of the device that are at least partially disabled in the focused mode include one or more features relating to communication supported by the device. The device supports a user interface for setting the device into a focused mode. The interface may have a “focus” button. A focused mode is implemented, at least in part, by an operating system of the device. Setting the device in focus mode causes at least one other device associated with the user to be set to focus mode.

A wearable electronic device includes: an input module configured to receive a user manipulation for changing a configuration setting value of a main electronic device; and a communication module configured to transmit a control signal for changing a configuration setting value to the main electronic device.

A computing device supports both audible notifications and vibration notifications that are used to notify a user of various different events, such as an incoming voice call or text message. The computing device predicts when a user will have difficulty hearing an audible notification from the computing device due to environmental noise. In response to predicting that a user will have difficulty hearing an audible notification from the computing device due to environmental noise, the computing device enables vibration notifications (if not already enabled) on the computing device. The computing device also optionally communicates with one or more additional devices (e.g., a smartwatch or other wearable device) connected to the computing device to cause those additional devices to also enable vibration notifications. In response to subsequent events for which the user is to be notified, the computing device (and optionally additional devices connected thereto) provides a vibration notification.

A computer-implemented method for real-time modification of notification tones to distinguish an intended recipient of a notification tone is disclosed. The computer-implemented method includes monitoring an audio stream of an online conference for one or more audio notification tones. The computer-implemented method further includes detecting that a notification tone generated outside of the online conference matches the notification tone of an application or user device associated with two or more participants of the online conference. The computer-implemented method further includes responsive to detecting that the notification tone matches the notification tone of an application or user device associated with two or more participants of the online conference, generating an ameliorative action associated with the notification tone.

A horizontal linear-vibration generating apparatus that includes: a case coupled to a bracket so as to provide mounting space therein; a stator mounted in the mounting space and including a coil-yoke unit electrically connected to a circuit substrate on the bracket; a vibrator having magnets corresponding to the coil-yoke unit and weighted bodies configured to amplify vibration and vibrating in a first direction with respect to the stator in the mounting space; and first and second springs correspondingly provided between the case and the vibrator and elastically supporting a shaking motion of the vibrator in the first direction with respect to the stator in the mounting space, at opposite sides of the vibrator, where the first spring and the second spring are integrally provided with first and second spring feet, respectively, for mounting the vibrator.

The present application provides a linear vibrating motor comprising a housing, a vibrator and a stator that is secured to the housing and is parallel to the vibrator, the vibrator comprises a mass block and a vibrating block embedded in the middle of the mass block; the vibrating block includes a permanent magnet; push-pull structures adjoin two ends of the vibrating block respectively; the push-pull structure comprises a push-pull magnet embedded in the mass block and a push-pull coil secured to the housing; an interaction force for enhancing a magnetic field is generated between the push-pull magnet and an adjacent permanent magnet; and the push-pull coil generates a push-pull force in a horizontal direction together with the push-pull magnet after being electrified to provide an initial driving force for a reciprocating motion of the vibrator in a direction that is parallel to a plane where the stator is located.

An electronic device, while displaying representations of a plurality of collections of media items, detects a swipe input that starts at a location corresponding to a first representation of a first collection of media items in the plurality of collections of media items. In response to detecting the swipe input: in accordance with a determination that the swipe input is in a first direction, the device scrolls the representations of the plurality of collections of media items in the first direction; and, in accordance with a determination that the swipe input is in a different, second direction, the device: ceases to display a representation of a first item in the first collection of media items, and displays a representation of a second item in the first collection of media items, without scrolling; and generates a tactile output corresponding to displaying the representation of the second item.
