1. A computer-implemented method, comprising:
- while an electronic device is in a first user-interface state, detecting progress towards satisfaction of a user input condition needed to transition to a second user-interface state;
while the device is in the first user-interface state, indicating progress towards satisfaction of the condition by transitioning an optical intensity of one or more user interface objects associated with the second user-interface state without being associated with the first user interface state,wherein at least one of the one or more user interface objects associated with the second user interface state is not displayed prior to detecting progress toward satisfaction of the user input condition and,wherein transitioning the optical intensity includes the one or more user interface objects associated with the second user-interface state appearing and increasing in optical intensity; and
transitioning the device to the second user-interface state if the condition is satisfied.

Abstract
A graphical user interface in an electronic device includes one or more user-interface objects associated with a second user-interface state. While the device is in a first user-interface state, the one or more objects transition in optical intensity to indicate progress towards satisfaction of a user input condition needed to transition to the second user-interface state.

7. A graphical user interface in an electronic device with a memory, and one or more processors to execute one or more programs stored in the memory, the graphical user interface comprising:
-
one or more user-interface objects associated with a second user-interface state without being associated with a first user interface state, wherein; while the electronic device is in the first user-interface state, progress is detected towards satisfaction of a user input condition needed to transition to the second user-interface state; while the device is in the first user-interface state, progress is indicated towards satisfaction of the condition by transitioning an optical intensity of the one or more user interface objects associated with the second user-interface state, wherein at least one of the one or more user interface objects associated with the second user interface state is not displayed prior to detecting progress toward satisfaction of the user input condition and, wherein the transition in optical intensity includes the one or more user interface objects associated with the second user-interface state appearing and increasing in optical intensity, and the device is transitioned to the second user-interface state if the condition is satisfied. - View Dependent Claims (8)

9. A portable electronic device, comprising:
-
a touch-sensitive display; memory; one or more processors; and one or more modules stored in memory and configured for execution by the one or more processors, the one or more modules including instructions for; while the device is in a first user-interface state, detecting progress towards satisfaction of a user input condition needed to transition to a second user-interface state; while the device is in the first user-interface state, indicating progress towards satisfaction of the condition by transitioning an optical intensity of one or more user interface objects associated with the second user-interface state without being associated with the first user interface state, wherein at least one of the one or more user interface objects associated with the second user interface state is not displayed prior to detecting progress toward satisfaction of the user input condition and, wherein transitioning of the optical intensity includes the one or more user interface objects associated with the second user-interface state appearing and increasing in optical intensity; and transitioning the device to the second user-interface state if the condition is satisfied. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 13, 14)

15. A computer readable storage medium having stored therein executable instructions, which when executed by an electronic device, cause the device to:
-
while the device is in a first user-interface state, detect progress towards satisfaction of a user input condition needed to transition to a second user-interface state; while the device is in the first user-interface state, indicate progress towards satisfaction of the condition by transitioning an optical intensity of one or more user interface objects associated with the second user-interface state without being associated with the first user interface state, wherein at least one of the one or more user interface objects associated with the second user interface state is not displayed prior to detecting progress toward satisfaction of the user input condition and, wherein transitioning the optical intensity includes the one or more user interface objects associated with the second user-interface state appearing and increasing in optical intensity; and transition the device to the second user-interface state if the condition is satisfied. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
