Device, method, and graphical user interface for a radial menu system

Abstract

An electronic device displays a radial menu including a first sequence of selectable options that extends off an edge of the display so that a first portion of the first sequence of selectable options is displayed while a second portion of the first sequence of selectable options is not displayed. The radial menu also includes a first selection region at a first fixed location on the radial menu. While a first option in the first sequence of selectable options is displayed in the first selection region of the radial menu, the electronic device detects an option-selection input associated with the radial menu. Responsive to detecting the option-selection input, the electronic device slides the first sequence of selectable options around the perimeter of the radial menu so that the first option is moved out of the first selection region and a second option is moved into the first selection region.

         21 . An electronic device, comprising:
 a display;   one or more processors; and   memory storing one or more programs configured to be executed by the one or more processors, the one or more programs including instructions for:
 concurrently displaying, on the display, a user interface region and a radial menu, wherein the radial menu is overlaid on the user interface region and the radial menu includes:
 a set of options; 
 a selection area at a fixed location on the radial menu, wherein a first option from the set of options is displayed in the selection area and a second option from the set of options is displayed outside the selection area; 
 
 while displaying the radial menu, detecting a first input at a location corresponding to the radial menu; 
 in response to detecting the first input, moving the first option outside the selection area and the second option into the selection area; 
 while the second menu options is in the selection area, detecting a triggering condition for ceasing to display the radial menu; 
 in response to detecting the triggering condition:
 ceasing to display at least a portion of the radial menu; and 
 displaying an affordance corresponding to a representation of the radial menu at a location that was previously occupied by a portion of the radial menu; 
 
 while the radial menu is not displayed on the display, detecting a second input on the affordance corresponding to the representation of the radial menu; and 
 in response to detecting the second input, displaying the radial menu, wherein the radial menu includes the second option displayed in the selection area. 
   
     
     
         22 . The electronic device of  claim 21 , wherein a first portion of the radial menu is displayed on the display between a first edge of the display and a location at which the affordance corresponding to the representation of the radial menu was previously displayed. 
     
     
         23 . The electronic device of  claim 22 , wherein a second portion of the radial menu is displayed on the display between a second edge of the display, opposite to the first edge of the display and the location at which the affordance corresponding to the representation of the radial menu was previously displayed. 
     
     
         24 . The electronic device of  claim 21 , wherein the set of options includes a first set of one or more options that extend off a first edge of the display so that a first portion of the first set of options is displayed while a second portion of the first set of options is not displayed. 
     
     
         25 . The electronic device of  claim 24 , wherein moving a first set of options comprises moving a third option in a path along a portion of an arc of a circle, the one or more programs further including instructions for:
 in response to the first input at the location corresponding to the radial menu, moving the first set of options in a path along a portion of an arc of a circle and moving the third option off the display area:
 subsequent to moving the third option off the radial menu, redisplaying the third option of the radial menu. 
   
     
     
         26 . The electronic device of  claim 21 , wherein the triggering condition includes detecting a touch input at a location outside of the radial menu.
