Responding to a received message in a locked user interaction mode

摘要

A portable electronic device with first and second modes,
the first mode, associated with allowing for the availability of one or more of a first level of power consumption and processor activity for the portable electronic device, and allowing general unlocked user interaction with the user interface of the portable electronic device;the second mode, associated with allowing for the availability of one or more of a second level of power consumption or processor activity, and allowing locked user interaction with the user interface; andthe locked user interaction allowing for the provision of one or more specific limited user inputs using the user interface, to directly interact with associated second mode output provided using the user interface in the second mode, the one or more specific limited user inputs not being associated with general unlocking of portable electronic device to enter the first mode of operation.
