Region based image sharing

摘要

Some embodiments provide a region-based method for sharing photos between devices. The method establishes an image-sharing event for a particular region, which in some embodiments is defined in terms of one or more geographic attributes (e.g., a latitude, a longitude, and one or more shape attributes that define a shape about the intersection of the latitude and the longitude). The method then allows devices that enter the particular region to join the image-sharing event, so that (1) the devices can capture and add photos for the event, and (2) they can view and save photos captured by other devices that joined the event. To facilitate the sharing of the photos, the method of some embodiments makes the photos that are captured for the event available for viewing for a period of time after the event has ended. This extra time provides the event participants more time to view and save photos captured for the event.

主权项

1. A method, comprising:
at a first electronic device with a display:
determining a current location of the first electronic device;in accordance with a determination that the current location of the first electronic device is within a first region associated with a first event, displaying a control for joining the first event in a selectable state in an information user interface for the first event;in accordance with a determination that the current location of the first electronic device is outside of the first region and within a second region associated with the first event, wherein the second region is larger than the first region and includes the first region, displaying the control for joining the first event in a non-selectable state in the information user interface for the first event;while the information user interface for the first event is displayed, detecting an input at a location that corresponds to the control for joining the first event; and,in response to detecting the input at the control for joining the first event:
in accordance with a determination that the control for joining the first event is in the selectable state:
replacing display of the information user interface for the first event with display of an image-sharing user interface for the first event;adding the first electronic device to the first event; andreceiving, at the first electronic device, a plurality of images that correspond to the first event, wherein at least a subset of the plurality of images that corresponds to the first event are captured by a second device, distinct from the first electronic device, that has joined the first event; anddisplaying at least some of the plurality of images in the image-sharing user interface for the first event; and,in accordance with a determination that the control for joining the first event is in the non-selectable state, forgoing adding the first electronic device to the first event.
