Photodetector activations

An example computing device includes a photodetector to measure an amount of light incident on a detection surface of the photodetector. The example computing device includes a state sensor to activate the photodetector responsive to the computing device being in a detection state. The example computing device also includes a processor. An example processor identifies, during the detection state, a user gesture based on an output of the photodetector. The user gesture blocks light incident on the detection surface of the photodetector. The example processor also alters an operation of the computing device based on the user gesture.

CONDITION-BASED ACTIVATION OF A USER INTERFACE

The present disclosure relates to techniques for accessing modes of operation and techniques for providing an alarm interface for electronic devices. In some embodiments, a device detects that a battery is being charged and that the device is oriented in a predefined orientation. In accordance with the detection that the battery is being charged and that the device is oriented in the predefined orientation, the device activates a predefined mode of operation. In some embodiments, a device displays a first user interface object in a first color, and, at a predetermined time, the device displays the first user interface object in a second color and displays an option for dismissing an alarm, wherein the option for dismissing is displayed as a second user interface object located at a portion of a display of the device proximate to a hardware button of the device.

GENERATING MARK INFORMATION ON A VIRTUAL OBJECT

A method for generating mark information in a virtual environment includes displaying a target-perspective picture showing the virtual environment, a sight bead pointing to an aiming position, and receiving a mark operation triggered on a mark control interface. The method further includes, in response to receiving the mark operation, generating, according to the received mark operation, mark information on a virtual object to which the aiming position points. The virtual object on which the mark information is generated is a movable object, a virtual prop, a virtual building, or a virtual landscape object in the virtual environment. The generated mark information is visible at a position of the virtual object in the virtual environment to one or more teammates of the virtual character.
