Abstract

A multifunction device with a touch-sensitive display displays an unlock image on the touch-sensitive display and concurrently displays a slide show initiation icon while the device is in a user-interface locked mode. The unlock image is a graphical user interface object with which the user interacts in order to transition the multifunction device to a user-interface unlocked mode. The device detects a first user input while the multifunction device is in the user-interface locked mode and presenting a slide show, and in response to detecting the first user input, displays the unlock image and the slide show initiation icon. When the device detects user activation of the slide show initiation icon, it presents the slide show on the touch-sensitive display and maintains the device in the user-interface locked mode.
