User interface for limiting notifications and alerts

Abstract

The present disclosure relates to systems and processes for limiting notifications on an electronic device. In one example process, data representing a user input can be received by an electronic device. The data representing the user input can include touch data from the touch-sensitive device, ambient light data from an ambient light sensor, intensity data from a contact intensity sensor, and/or motion data from one or more motion sensors. Based on the data, it can be determined whether the user input is a cover gesture over a touch-sensitive display of the electronic device. In response to determining that the user input is a cover gesture over the touch-sensitive display, the electronic device can be put into a DND mode for a predetermined amount of time. While in the DND mode, the electronic device can cease to output some or all notifications.

1 . (canceled) 
     
     
         2 . An electronic device, comprising:
 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:
 detecting an alert triggering event; 
 in response to detecting the alert triggering event, presenting an alert that includes one or more visual elements and one or more non-visual elements; 
 while presenting the alert that includes one or more visual elements and one or more non-visual elements, detecting a cover gesture; 
 in response to detecting the cover gesture, ceasing to present the one or more non-visual elements of the alert while continuing to present the one or more visual elements of the alert. 
   
     
     
         3 . The electronic device of  claim 2 , wherein the alert triggering event is an incoming phone call. 
     
     
         4 . The electronic device of  claim 2 , wherein the alert triggering event is an incoming message. 
     
     
         5 . The electronic device of  claim 2 , wherein the one or more non-visual elements of the alert include one or more audio elements. 
     
     
         6 . The electronic device of  claim 2 , wherein the one or more non-visual elements of the alert include one or more haptic elements. 
     
     
         7 . The electronic device of  claim 2 , wherein the one or more non-visual elements of the alert include a ringing noise. 
     
     
         8 . The electronic device of  claim 2 , wherein the one or more visual elements of the alert include text. 
     
     
         9 . The electronic device of  claim 2 , wherein the one or more visual elements of the alert include an image. 
     
     
         10 . The electronic device of  claim 2 , wherein detecting the cover gesture includes detecting a threshold amount of motion of the electronic device within a predetermined length of time after the alert triggering event. 
     
     
         11 . The electronic device of  claim 2 , wherein detecting the cover gesture includes detecting touch at a threshold amount of a touch-sensitive surface. 
     
     
         12 . A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing one or more programs configured to be executed by one or more processors of an electronic device, the one or more programs including instructions for:
 detecting an alert triggering event;   in response to detecting the alert triggering event, presenting an alert that includes one or more visual elements and one or more non-visual elements;   while presenting the alert that includes one or more visual elements and one or more non-visual elements, detecting a cover gesture;   in response to detecting the cover gesture, ceasing to present the one or more non-visual elements of the alert while continuing to present the one or more visual elements of the alert.   
     
     
         13 . A method, comprising:
 at an electronic device:
 detecting an alert triggering event; 
 in response to detecting the alert triggering event, presenting an alert that includes one or more visual elements and one or more non-visual elements; 
 while presenting the alert that includes one or more visual elements and one or more non-visual elements, detecting a cover gesture; 
 in response to detecting the cover gesture, ceasing to present the one or more non-visual elements of the alert while continuing to present the one or more visual elements of the alert.
