A computing device is described that displays a set of graphical elements in a status bar of a graphical user interface. Each graphical element corresponds to a different pending notification. While expanding a notification shade from the status bar, the device displays the graphical elements within an area of the notification shade that is adjacent to a leading edge of the notification shade. Responsive to determining that a particular notification message is newly visible, the device removes, a particular graphical element that corresponds to the particular notification message, and displays the particular graphical element within the particular notification message. In this manner, interaction with the notification area may be more efficient, as during a process of expanding or contracting this area, the user may be informed the underlying state of the set of pending notifications as a whole.

A system for ring suppression facilitates notification and handling of unwanted calls as desired by a recipient, and in particular without disturbing the recipient. A new social dimension of call presentation logic is now available to callers. A telephony device is configured to receive an incoming call. The incoming call includes a calling line identity (CLI). On the telephony device, individual contacts in an address book are searched for a match to the CLI. If a match is found, a first phone action is activated (such as ringing the phone). If a match is not found in the address book for the incoming CLI, a second phone action is activated (such as not ringing the phone, and displaying the CLI). In other words, a call that is not in the address book of the recipient (B party) is silenced.

Disclosed is a method a method by an electronic device, including receiving a message, analyzing text contents comprising a plurality of words included in the received message, outputting a first predetermined notification for notifying an arrival of the received message if a specific criteria and a notification configuration related to the specific criteria are satisfied based on the analyzing, outputting a second predetermined notification for notifying the arrival of the received message if the specific criteria is not satisfied based on the analyzing, and outputting the second predetermined notification for notifying the arrival of the received message if the specific criteria is satisfied and the notification configuration related to the specific criteria is not satisfied based on the analyzing, wherein each of the first predetermined notification and the second predetermined notification includes at least one of a sound notification, a haptic notification and a light notification, and wherein the first predetermined notification is different from the second predetermined notification.

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.

A disclosed example includes providing vibration information to a model, the vibration information corresponding to a first vibration measured at a first mobile device when the first mobile device is in a state of non-use by a user, the model based on a plurality of vibration patterns that correspond to second vibrations measured by second mobile devices in different environments; identifying, using the model, one of the vibration patterns that corresponds to the vibration information; determining an environment of the first mobile device based on the one of the vibration patterns; and instructing the first mobile device to modify a functionality of the first mobile device based on the environment.

A mobile terminal includes: a shell; a display screen arranged on a surface of the shell, the display screen including first and second display regions; a first vibration component, arranged in the shell and on a back surface of the first display region; a second vibration component, arranged in the shell and on a back surface of the second display region; a processor, arranged in the shell and configured to determine a form of the display screen, the display screen having a folded and unfolded form, the first and second display regions being overlapped in the folded form and separated in the unfolded form; and a controller, arranged in the shell and connected with the processor and the first and second vibration components, the controller being configured to control vibration amplitudes of the first and the second vibration components according to the determined form of the display screen.

Methods and apparatuses are disclosed that allow an electronic device to autonomously adapt one or more user alerts of the electronic device. For example, some embodiments may include a method for operating a haptic device including driving a haptic device using a control signal, measuring a frequency related to the operation of the haptic device and comparing the measured frequency with a target frequency. A control signal is adjusted based on the comparison to drive the haptic device to the target frequency.

A handbag, backpack or luggage with an incoming call reminding function, comprising: an incoming call reminding device equipped inside a handle of the handbag and used for sensing an incoming call signal of a mobile phone nearby and reminding by vibrating. The incoming call reminding device having a battery, mainboard, vibration motor and a cable, wherein the vibration motor receives the signal transmitted by the mainboard and vibrates to alert when the mobile phone has an incoming call. There may be at least one cavity (which may be in an inner padding material) and holds the incoming call reminding device inside of a handle or backpack strap. The vibration motor, mainboard and battery may be placed separately and substantially in a line, to keep in a narrow space inside of the handle or strap.

A wireless earbud system includes a neckband having a first end and a second end defining a curved member configured to contour to a neck of a wearer. A first earbud includes a first speaker and a first ear tip. A second earbud includes a second speaker and a second ear tip. A first opening disposed in the first end of the neckband defines a first compartment configured to receive and store the first ear tip of the first earbud. A second opening disposed in the second end of the neckband defining a second compartment configured to receive and store the second ear tip of the second earbud. The neckband, first earbud, and second earbud are in wireless communication with an external device, such that a user can receive incoming communications from the external device.
