The present disclosure relates generally to computer user interfaces, and more specifically to techniques for enrolling, managing, and using digital credentials, including digital identification credentials.
As electronic devices such as smartphones have become more widely used, their functions have grown beyond phone calls and text messaging. Providing an efficient method for using and implementing the various functions on these electronic devices can be complex and time-consuming.
Some techniques for enrolling, managing, and using digital credentials using electronic devices, however, are generally cumbersome and inefficient. For example, some existing techniques use a complex and time-consuming user interface, which may include multiple key presses or keystrokes. Existing techniques require more time than necessary, wasting user time and device energy. This latter consideration is particularly important in battery-operated devices.
Accordingly, the present technique provides electronic devices with faster, more efficient methods and interfaces for enrolling, managing, and using digital credentials. Such methods and interfaces optionally complement or replace other methods for enrolling, managing, and using digital credentials. Such methods and interfaces reduce the cognitive burden on a user and produce a more efficient human-machine interface. For battery-operated computing devices, such methods and interfaces conserve power and increase the time between battery charges.

Thus, devices are provided with faster, more efficient methods and interfaces for enrolling, managing, and using digital credentials, thereby increasing the effectiveness, efficiency, and user satisfaction with such devices. Such methods and interfaces may complement or replace other methods for enrolling, managing, and using digital credentials.
For a better understanding of the various described embodiments, reference should be made to the Description of Embodiments below, in conjunction with the following drawings in which like reference numerals refer to corresponding parts throughout the figures.
The following description sets forth exemplary methods, parameters, and the like. It should be recognized, however, that such description is not intended as a limitation on the scope of the present disclosure but is instead provided as a description of exemplary embodiments.
There is a need for electronic devices that provide efficient methods and interfaces for enrolling, using, and managing digital credentials. For example, there is a need for techniques that provide a secure way to enroll, use, and manage digital credentials while minimizing unnecessary manual effort by a user to enroll, use, and manage digital credentials. Such techniques can reduce the cognitive burden on a user who enrolls, uses, and manages digital credentials, thereby enhancing productivity. Further, such techniques can reduce processor and battery power otherwise wasted on redundant user inputs.
Below,
The processes described below enhance the operability of the devices and make the user-device interfaces more efficient (e.g., by helping the user to provide proper inputs and reducing user mistakes when operating/interacting with the device) through various techniques, including by providing improved visual feedback to the user, reducing the number of inputs needed to perform an operation, providing additional control options without cluttering the user interface with additional displayed controls, performing an operation when a set of conditions has been met without requiring further user input, providing improved and/or enhanced security, and/or additional techniques. These techniques also reduce power usage and improve battery life of the device by enabling the user to use the device more quickly and efficiently.
In addition, in methods described herein where one or more steps are contingent upon one or more conditions having been met, it should be understood that the described method can be repeated in multiple repetitions so that over the course of the repetitions all of the conditions upon which steps in the method are contingent have been met in different repetitions of the method. For example, if a method requires performing a first step if a condition is satisfied, and a second step if the condition is not satisfied, then a person of ordinary skill would appreciate that the claimed steps are repeated until the condition has been both satisfied and not satisfied, in no particular order. Thus, a method described with one or more steps that are contingent upon one or more conditions having been met could be rewritten as a method that is repeated until each of the conditions described in the method has been met. This, however, is not required of system or computer readable medium claims where the system or computer readable medium contains instructions for performing the contingent operations based on the satisfaction of the corresponding one or more conditions and thus is capable of determining whether the contingency has or has not been satisfied without explicitly repeating steps of a method until all of the conditions upon which steps in the method are contingent have been met. A person having ordinary skill in the art would also understand that, similar to a method with contingent steps, a system or computer readable storage medium can repeat the steps of a method as many times as are needed to ensure that all of the contingent steps have been performed.
Although the following description uses terms “first,” “second,” etc. to describe various elements, these elements should not be limited by the terms. These terms are only used to distinguish one element from another. For example, a first touch could be termed a second touch, and, similarly, a second touch could be termed a first touch, without departing from the scope of the various described embodiments. The first touch and the second touch are both touches, but they are not the same touch.
The terminology used in the description of the various described embodiments herein is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to be limiting. As used in the description of the various described embodiments and the appended claims, the singular forms “a,” “an,” and “the” are intended to include the plural forms as well, unless the context clearly indicates otherwise. It will also be understood that the term “and/or” as used herein refers to and encompasses any and all possible combinations of one or more of the associated listed items. It will be further understood that the terms “includes,” “including,” “comprises,” and/or “comprising,” when used in this specification, specify the presence of stated features, integers, steps, operations, elements, and/or components, but do not preclude the presence or addition of one or more other features, integers, steps, operations, elements, components, and/or groups thereof.
The term “if” is, optionally, construed to mean “when” or “upon” or “in response to determining” or “in response to detecting,” depending on the context. Similarly, the phrase “if it is determined” or “if [a stated condition or event] is detected” is, optionally, construed to mean “upon determining” or “in response to determining” or “upon detecting [the stated condition or event]” or “in response to detecting [the stated condition or event],” depending on the context.
Embodiments of electronic devices, user interfaces for such devices, and associated processes for using such devices are described. In some embodiments, the device is a portable communications device, such as a mobile telephone, that also contains other functions, such as PDA and/or music player functions. Exemplary embodiments of portable multifunction devices include, without limitation, the iPhone®, iPod Touch®, and iPad® devices from Apple Inc. of Cupertino, Calif. Other portable electronic devices, such as laptops or tablet computers with touch-sensitive surfaces (e.g., touch screen displays and/or touchpads), are, optionally, used. It should also be understood that, in some embodiments, the device is not a portable communications device, but is a desktop computer with a touch-sensitive surface (e.g., a touch screen display and/or a touchpad). In some embodiments, the electronic device is a computer system that is in communication (e.g., via wireless communication, via wired communication) with a display generation component. The display generation component is configured to provide visual output, such as display via a CRT display, display via an LED display, or display via image projection. In some embodiments, the display generation component is integrated with the computer system. In some embodiments, the display generation component is separate from the computer system. As used herein, “displaying” content includes causing to display the content (e.g., video data rendered or decoded by display controller 156) by transmitting, via a wired or wireless connection, data (e.g., image data or video data) to an integrated or external display generation component to visually produce the content.
In the discussion that follows, an electronic device that includes a display and a touch-sensitive surface is described. It should be understood, however, that the electronic device optionally includes one or more other physical user-interface devices, such as a physical keyboard, a mouse, and/or a joystick.
The device typically supports a variety of applications, such as one or more of the following: a drawing application, a presentation application, a word processing application, a website creation application, a disk authoring application, a spreadsheet application, a gaming application, a telephone application, a video conferencing application, an e-mail application, an instant messaging application, a workout support application, a photo management application, a digital camera application, a digital video camera application, a web browsing application, a digital music player application, and/or a digital video player application.
The various applications that are executed on the device optionally use at least one common physical user-interface device, such as the touch-sensitive surface. One or more functions of the touch-sensitive surface as well as corresponding information displayed on the device are, optionally, adjusted and/or varied from one application to the next and/or within a respective application. In this way, a common physical architecture (such as the touch-sensitive surface) of the device optionally supports the variety of applications with user interfaces that are intuitive and transparent to the user.
Attention is now directed toward embodiments of portable devices with touch-sensitive displays.
As used in the specification and claims, the term “intensity” of a contact on a touch-sensitive surface refers to the force or pressure (force per unit area) of a contact (e.g., a finger contact) on the touch-sensitive surface, or to a substitute (proxy) for the force or pressure of a contact on the touch-sensitive surface. The intensity of a contact has a range of values that includes at least four distinct values and more typically includes hundreds of distinct values (e.g., at least 256). Intensity of a contact is, optionally, determined (or measured) using various approaches and various sensors or combinations of sensors. For example, one or more force sensors underneath or adjacent to the touch-sensitive surface are, optionally, used to measure force at various points on the touch-sensitive surface. In some implementations, force measurements from multiple force sensors are combined (e.g., a weighted average) to determine an estimated force of a contact. Similarly, a pressure-sensitive tip of a stylus is, optionally, used to determine a pressure of the stylus on the touch-sensitive surface. Alternatively, the size of the contact area detected on the touch-sensitive surface and/or changes thereto, the capacitance of the touch-sensitive surface proximate to the contact and/or changes thereto, and/or the resistance of the touch-sensitive surface proximate to the contact and/or changes thereto are, optionally, used as a substitute for the force or pressure of the contact on the touch-sensitive surface. In some implementations, the substitute measurements for contact force or pressure are used directly to determine whether an intensity threshold has been exceeded (e.g., the intensity threshold is described in units corresponding to the substitute measurements). In some implementations, the substitute measurements for contact force or pressure are converted to an estimated force or pressure, and the estimated force or pressure is used to determine whether an intensity threshold has been exceeded (e.g., the intensity threshold is a pressure threshold measured in units of pressure). Using the intensity of a contact as an attribute of a user input allows for user access to additional device functionality that may otherwise not be accessible by the user on a reduced-size device with limited real estate for displaying affordances (e.g., on a touch-sensitive display) and/or receiving user input (e.g., via a touch-sensitive display, a touch-sensitive surface, or a physical/mechanical control such as a knob or a button).
As used in the specification and claims, the term “tactile output” refers to physical displacement of a device relative to a previous position of the device, physical displacement of a component (e.g., a touch-sensitive surface) of a device relative to another component (e.g., housing) of the device, or displacement of the component relative to a center of mass of the device that will be detected by a user with the user's sense of touch. For example, in situations where the device or the component of the device is in contact with a surface of a user that is sensitive to touch (e.g., a finger, palm, or other part of a user's hand), the tactile output generated by the physical displacement will be interpreted by the user as a tactile sensation corresponding to a perceived change in physical characteristics of the device or the component of the device. For example, movement of a touch-sensitive surface (e.g., a touch-sensitive display or trackpad) is, optionally, interpreted by the user as a “down click” or “up click” of a physical actuator button. In some cases, a user will feel a tactile sensation such as an “down click” or “up click” even when there is no movement of a physical actuator button associated with the touch-sensitive surface that is physically pressed (e.g., displaced) by the user's movements. As another example, movement of the touch-sensitive surface is, optionally, interpreted or sensed by the user as “roughness” of the touch-sensitive surface, even when there is no change in smoothness of the touch-sensitive surface. While such interpretations of touch by a user will be subject to the individualized sensory perceptions of the user, there are many sensory perceptions of touch that are common to a large majority of users. Thus, when a tactile output is described as corresponding to a particular sensory perception of a user (e.g., an “up click,” a “down click,” “roughness”), unless otherwise stated, the generated tactile output corresponds to physical displacement of the device or a component thereof that will generate the described sensory perception for a typical (or average) user.

The one or more buttons (e.g., 208,
A quick press of the push button optionally disengages a lock of touch screen 112 or optionally begins a process that uses gestures on the touch screen to unlock the device, as described in U.S. patent application Ser. No. 11/322,549, “Unlocking a Device by Performing Gestures on an Unlock Image,” filed Dec. 23, 2005, U.S. Pat. No. 7,657,849, which is hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety. A longer press of the push button (e.g., 206) optionally turns power to device 100 on or off. The functionality of one or more of the buttons are, optionally, user-customizable. Touch screen 112 is used to implement virtual or soft buttons and one or more soft keyboards.
Touch-sensitive display 112 provides an input interface and an output interface between the device and a user. Display controller 156 receives and/or sends electrical signals from/to touch screen 112. Touch screen 112 displays visual output to the user. The visual output optionally includes graphics, text, icons, video, and any combination thereof (collectively termed “graphics”). In some embodiments, some or all of the visual output optionally corresponds to user-interface objects.
Touch screen 112 has a touch-sensitive surface, sensor, or set of sensors that accepts input from the user based on haptic and/or tactile contact. Touch screen 112 and display controller 156 (along with any associated modules and/or sets of instructions in memory 102) detect contact (and any movement or breaking of the contact) on touch screen 112 and convert the detected contact into interaction with user-interface objects (e.g., one or more soft keys, icons, web pages, or images) that are displayed on touch screen 112. In an exemplary embodiment, a point of contact between touch screen 112 and the user corresponds to a finger of the user.
Touch screen 112 optionally uses LCD (liquid crystal display) technology, LPD (light emitting polymer display) technology, or LED (light emitting diode) technology, although other display technologies are used in other embodiments. Touch screen 112 and display controller 156 optionally detect contact and any movement or breaking thereof using any of a plurality of touch sensing technologies now known or later developed, including but not limited to capacitive, resistive, infrared, and surface acoustic wave technologies, as well as other proximity sensor arrays or other elements for determining one or more points of contact with touch screen 112. In an exemplary embodiment, projected mutual capacitance sensing technology is used, such as that found in the iPhone® and iPod Touch® from Apple Inc. of Cupertino, Calif.
A touch-sensitive display in some embodiments of touch screen 112 is, optionally, analogous to the multi-touch sensitive touchpads described in the following U.S. Pat. No. 6,323,846 (Westerman et al.), U.S. Pat. No. 6,570,557 (Westerman et al.), and/or U.S. Pat. No. 6,677,932 (Westerman), and/or U.S. Patent Publication 2002/0015024A1, each of which is hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety. However, touch screen 112 displays visual output from device 100, whereas touch-sensitive touchpads do not provide visual output.
A touch-sensitive display in some embodiments of touch screen 112 is described in the following applications: (1) U.S. patent application Ser. No. 11/381,313, “Multipoint Touch Surface Controller,” filed May 2, 2006; (2) U.S. patent application Ser. No. 10/840,862, “Multipoint Touchscreen,” filed May 6, 2004; (3) U.S. patent application Ser. No. 10/903,964, “Gestures For Touch Sensitive Input Devices,” filed Jul. 30, 2004; (4) U.S. patent application Ser.

No. 11/228,700, “Operation Of A Computer With A Touch Screen Interface,” filed Sep. 16, 2005; (8) U.S. patent application Ser. No. 11/228,737, “Activating Virtual Keys Of A Touch-Screen Virtual Keyboard,” filed Sep. 16, 2005; and (9) U.S. patent application Ser. No. 11/367,749, “Multi-Functional Hand-Held Device,” filed Mar. 3, 2006. All of these applications are incorporated by reference herein in their entirety.
Touch screen 112 optionally has a video resolution in excess of 100 dpi. In some embodiments, the touch screen has a video resolution of approximately 160 dpi. The user optionally makes contact with touch screen 112 using any suitable object or appendage, such as a stylus, a finger, and so forth. In some embodiments, the user interface is designed to work primarily with finger-based contacts and gestures, which can be less precise than stylus-based input due to the larger area of contact of a finger on the touch screen. In some embodiments, the device translates the rough finger-based input into a precise pointer/cursor position or command for performing the actions desired by the user.
In some embodiments, in addition to the touch screen, device 100 optionally includes a touchpad for activating or deactivating particular functions. In some embodiments, the touchpad is a touch-sensitive area of the device that, unlike the touch screen, does not display visual output. The touchpad is, optionally, a touch-sensitive surface that is separate from touch screen 112 or an extension of the touch-sensitive surface formed by the touch screen.
Device 100 also includes power system 162 for powering the various components. Power system 162 optionally includes a power management system, one or more power sources (e.g., battery, alternating current (AC)), a recharging system, a power failure detection circuit, a power converter or inverter, a power status indicator (e.g., a light-emitting diode (LED)) and any other components associated with the generation, management and distribution of power in portable devices.
Device 100 optionally also includes one or more optical sensors 164.
Device 100 optionally also includes one or more depth camera sensors 175.
Device 100 optionally also includes one or more contact intensity sensors 165.

Device 100 optionally also includes one or more tactile output generators 167.
Device 100 optionally also includes one or more accelerometers 168.
In some embodiments, the software components stored in memory 102 include operating system 126, communication module (or set of instructions) 128, contact/motion module (or set of instructions) 130, graphics module (or set of instructions) 132, text input module (or set of instructions) 134, Global Positioning System (GPS) module (or set of instructions) 135, and applications (or sets of instructions) 136. Furthermore, in some embodiments, memory 102 (
Operating system 126 (e.g., Darwin, RTXC, LINUX, UNIX, OS X, iOS, WINDOWS, or an embedded operating system such as VxWorks) includes various software components and/or drivers for controlling and managing general system tasks (e.g., memory management, storage device control, power management, etc.) and facilitates communication between various hardware and software components.
Communication module 128 facilitates communication with other devices over one or more external ports 124 and also includes various software components for handling data received by RF circuitry 108 and/or external port 124. External port 124 (e.g., Universal Serial Bus (USB), FIREWIRE, etc.) is adapted for coupling directly to other devices or indirectly over a network (e.g., the Internet, wireless LAN, etc.). In some embodiments, the external port is a multi-pin (e.g., 30-pin) connector that is the same as, or similar to and/or compatible with, the 30-pin connector used on iPod® (trademark of Apple Inc.) devices.
Contact/motion module 130 optionally detects contact with touch screen 112 (in conjunction with display controller 156) and other touch-sensitive devices (e.g., a touchpad or physical click wheel). Contact/motion module 130 includes various software components for performing various operations related to detection of contact, such as determining if contact has occurred (e.g., detecting a finger-down event), determining an intensity of the contact (e.g., the force or pressure of the contact or a substitute for the force or pressure of the contact), determining if there is movement of the contact and tracking the movement across the touch-sensitive surface (e.g., detecting one or more finger-dragging events), and determining if the contact has ceased (e.g., detecting a finger-up event or a break in contact). Contact/motion module 130 receives contact data from the touch-sensitive surface. Determining movement of the point of contact, which is represented by a series of contact data, optionally includes determining speed (magnitude), velocity (magnitude and direction), and/or an acceleration (a change in magnitude and/or direction) of the point of contact. These operations are, optionally, applied to single contacts (e.g., one finger contacts) or to multiple simultaneous contacts (e.g., “multitouch”/multiple finger contacts). In some embodiments, contact/motion module 130 and display controller 156 detect contact on a touchpad.
In some embodiments, contact/motion module 130 uses a set of one or more intensity thresholds to determine whether an operation has been performed by a user (e.g., to determine whether a user has “clicked” on an icon). In some embodiments, at least a subset of the intensity thresholds are determined in accordance with software parameters (e.g., the intensity thresholds are not determined by the activation thresholds of particular physical actuators and can be adjusted without changing the physical hardware of device 100). For example, a mouse “click” threshold of a trackpad or touch screen display can be set to any of a large range of predefined threshold values without changing the trackpad or touch screen display hardware. Additionally, in some implementations, a user of the device is provided with software settings for adjusting one or more of the set of intensity thresholds (e.g., by adjusting individual intensity thresholds and/or by adjusting a plurality of intensity thresholds at once with a system-level click “intensity” parameter).
Contact/motion module 130 optionally detects a gesture input by a user. Different gestures on the touch-sensitive surface have different contact patterns (e.g., different motions, timings, and/or intensities of detected contacts). Thus, a gesture is, optionally, detected by detecting a particular contact pattern. For example, detecting a finger tap gesture includes detecting a finger-down event followed by detecting a finger-up (liftoff) event at the same position (or substantially the same position) as the finger-down event (e.g., at the position of an icon). As another example, detecting a finger swipe gesture on the touch-sensitive surface includes detecting a finger-down event followed by detecting one or more finger-dragging events, and subsequently followed by detecting a finger-up (liftoff) event.
Graphics module 132 includes various known software components for rendering and displaying graphics on touch screen 112 or other display, including components for changing the visual impact (e.g., brightness, transparency, saturation, contrast, or other visual property) of graphics that are displayed. As used herein, the term “graphics” includes any object that can be displayed to a user, including, without limitation, text, web pages, icons (such as user-interface objects including soft keys), digital images, videos, animations, and the like.
In some embodiments, graphics module 132 stores data representing graphics to be used. Each graphic is, optionally, assigned a corresponding code. Graphics module 132 receives, from applications etc., one or more codes specifying graphics to be displayed along with, if necessary, coordinate data and other graphic property data, and then generates screen image data to output to display controller 156.
Haptic feedback module 133 includes various software components for generating instructions used by tactile output generator(s) 167 to produce tactile outputs at one or more locations on device 100 in response to user interactions with device 100.
Text input module 134, which is, optionally, a component of graphics module 132, provides soft keyboards for entering text in various applications (e.g., contacts 137, e-mail 140, IM 141, browser 147, and any other application that needs text input).
GPS module 135 determines the location of the device and provides this information for use in various applications (e.g., to telephone 138 for use in location-based dialing; to camera 143 as picture/video metadata; and to applications that provide location-based services such as weather widgets, local yellow page widgets, and map/navigation widgets).
Applications 136 optionally include the following modules (or sets of instructions), or a subset or superset thereof:
Examples of other applications 136 that are, optionally, stored in memory 102 include other word processing applications, other image editing applications, drawing applications, presentation applications, JAVA-enabled applications, encryption, digital rights management, voice recognition, and voice replication.

Additional description of the online video application can be found in U.S. Provisional Patent Application No. 60/936,562, “Portable Multifunction Device, Method, and Graphical User Interface for Playing Online Videos,” filed Jun. 20, 2007, and U.S. patent application Ser. No. 11/968,067, “Portable Multifunction Device, Method, and Graphical User Interface for Playing Online Videos,” filed Dec. 31, 2007, the contents of which are hereby incorporated by reference in their entirety.
Each of the above-identified modules and applications corresponds to a set of executable instructions for performing one or more functions described above and the methods described in this application (e.g., the computer-implemented methods and other information processing methods described herein). These modules (e.g., sets of instructions) need not be implemented as separate software programs (such as computer programs (e.g., including instructions)), procedures, or modules, and thus various subsets of these modules are, optionally, combined or otherwise rearranged in various embodiments. For example, video player module is, optionally, combined with music player module into a single module (e.g., video and music player module 152,
In some embodiments, device 100 is a device where operation of a predefined set of functions on the device is performed exclusively through a touch screen and/or a touchpad. By using a touch screen and/or a touchpad as the primary input control device for operation of device 100, the number of physical input control devices (such as push buttons, dials, and the like) on device 100 is, optionally, reduced.
The predefined set of functions that are performed exclusively through a touch screen and/or a touchpad optionally include navigation between user interfaces. In some embodiments, the touchpad, when touched by the user, navigates device 100 to a main, home, or root menu from any user interface that is displayed on device 100. In such embodiments, a “menu button” is implemented using a touchpad. In some other embodiments, the menu button is a physical push button or other physical input control device instead of a touchpad.
Event sorter 170 receives event information and determines the application 136-1 and application view 191 of application 136-1 to which to deliver the event information. Event sorter 170 includes event monitor 171 and event dispatcher module 174. In some embodiments, application 136-1 includes application internal state 192, which indicates the current application view(s) displayed on touch-sensitive display 112 when the application is active or executing. In some embodiments, device/global internal state 157 is used by event sorter 170 to determine which application(s) is (are) currently active, and application internal state 192 is used by event sorter 170 to determine application views 191 to which to deliver event information.
In some embodiments, application internal state 192 includes additional information, such as one or more of: resume information to be used when application 136-1 resumes execution, user interface state information that indicates information being displayed or that is ready for display by application 136-1, a state queue for enabling the user to go back to a prior state or view of application 136-1, and a redo/undo queue of previous actions taken by the user.
Event monitor 171 receives event information from peripherals interface 118. Event information includes information about a sub-event (e.g., a user touch on touch-sensitive display 112, as part of a multi-touch gesture). Peripherals interface 118 transmits information it receives from I/O subsystem 106 or a sensor, such as proximity sensor 166, accelerometer(s) 168, and/or microphone 113 (through audio circuitry 110). Information that peripherals interface 118 receives from I/O subsystem 106 includes information from touch-sensitive display 112 or a touch-sensitive surface.
In some embodiments, event monitor 171 sends requests to the peripherals interface 118 at predetermined intervals. In response, peripherals interface 118 transmits event information. In other embodiments, peripherals interface 118 transmits event information only when there is a significant event (e.g., receiving an input above a predetermined noise threshold and/or for more than a predetermined duration).
In some embodiments, event sorter 170 also includes a hit view determination module 172 and/or an active event recognizer determination module 173.
Hit view determination module 172 provides software procedures for determining where a sub-event has taken place within one or more views when touch-sensitive display 112 displays more than one view. Views are made up of controls and other elements that a user can see on the display.
Another aspect of the user interface associated with an application is a set of views, sometimes herein called application views or user interface windows, in which information is displayed and touch-based gestures occur. The application views (of a respective application) in which a touch is detected optionally correspond to programmatic levels within a programmatic or view hierarchy of the application. For example, the lowest level view in which a touch is detected is, optionally, called the hit view, and the set of events that are recognized as proper inputs are, optionally, determined based, at least in part, on the hit view of the initial touch that begins a touch-based gesture.
Hit view determination module 172 receives information related to sub-events of a touch-based gesture. When an application has multiple views organized in a hierarchy, hit view determination module 172 identifies a hit view as the lowest view in the hierarchy which should handle the sub-event. In most circumstances, the hit view is the lowest level view in which an initiating sub-event occurs (e.g., the first sub-event in the sequence of sub-events that form an event or potential event). Once the hit view is identified by the hit view determination module 172, the hit view typically receives all sub-events related to the same touch or input source for which it was identified as the hit view.
Active event recognizer determination module 173 determines which view or views within a view hierarchy should receive a particular sequence of sub-events. In some embodiments, active event recognizer determination module 173 determines that only the hit view should receive a particular sequence of sub-events. In other embodiments, active event recognizer determination module 173 determines that all views that include the physical location of a sub-event are actively involved views, and therefore determines that all actively involved views should receive a particular sequence of sub-events. In other embodiments, even if touch sub-events were entirely confined to the area associated with one particular view, views higher in the hierarchy would still remain as actively involved views.
Event dispatcher module 174 dispatches the event information to an event recognizer (e.g., event recognizer 180). In embodiments including active event recognizer determination module 173, event dispatcher module 174 delivers the event information to an event recognizer determined by active event recognizer determination module 173. In some embodiments, event dispatcher module 174 stores in an event queue the event information, which is retrieved by a respective event receiver 182.
In some embodiments, operating system 126 includes event sorter 170. Alternatively, application 136-1 includes event sorter 170. In yet other embodiments, event sorter 170 is a stand-alone module, or a part of another module stored in memory 102, such as contact/motion module 130.
In some embodiments, application 136-1 includes a plurality of event handlers 190 and one or more application views 191, each of which includes instructions for handling touch events that occur within a respective view of the application's user interface. Each application view 191 of the application 136-1 includes one or more event recognizers 180. Typically, a respective application view 191 includes a plurality of event recognizers 180. In other embodiments, one or more of event recognizers 180 are part of a separate module, such as a user interface kit or a higher level object from which application 136-1 inherits methods and other properties. In some embodiments, a respective event handler 190 includes one or more of: data updater 176, object updater 177, GUI updater 178, and/or event data 179 received from event sorter 170. Event handler 190 optionally utilizes or calls data updater 176, object updater 177, or GUI updater 178 to update the application internal state 192. Alternatively, one or more of the application views 191 include one or more respective event handlers 190. Also, in some embodiments, one or more of data updater 176, object updater 177, and GUI updater 178 are included in a respective application view 191.
A respective event recognizer 180 receives event information (e.g., event data 179) from event sorter 170 and identifies an event from the event information. Event recognizer 180 includes event receiver 182 and event comparator 184. In some embodiments, event recognizer 180 also includes at least a subset of: metadata 183, and event delivery instructions 188 (which optionally include sub-event delivery instructions).
Event receiver 182 receives event information from event sorter 170. The event information includes information about a sub-event, for example, a touch or a touch movement. Depending on the sub-event, the event information also includes additional information, such as location of the sub-event. When the sub-event concerns motion of a touch, the event information optionally also includes speed and direction of the sub-event. In some embodiments, events include rotation of the device from one orientation to another (e.g., from a portrait orientation to a landscape orientation, or vice versa), and the event information includes corresponding information about the current orientation (also called device attitude) of the device.
Event comparator 184 compares the event information to predefined event or sub-event definitions and, based on the comparison, determines an event or sub-event, or determines or updates the state of an event or sub-event. In some embodiments, event comparator 184 includes event definitions 186. Event definitions 186 contain definitions of events (e.g., predefined sequences of sub-events), for example, event 1 (187-1), event 2 (187-2), and others. In some embodiments, sub-events in an event (187) include, for example, touch begin, touch end, touch movement, touch cancellation, and multiple touching. In one example, the definition for event 1 (187-1) is a double tap on a displayed object. The double tap, for example, comprises a first touch (touch begin) on the displayed object for a predetermined phase, a first liftoff (touch end) for a predetermined phase, a second touch (touch begin) on the displayed object for a predetermined phase, and a second liftoff (touch end) for a predetermined phase. In another example, the definition for event 2 (187-2) is a dragging on a displayed object. The dragging, for example, comprises a touch (or contact) on the displayed object for a predetermined phase, a movement of the touch across touch-sensitive display 112, and liftoff of the touch (touch end). In some embodiments, the event also includes information for one or more associated event handlers 190.
In some embodiments, event definition 187 includes a definition of an event for a respective user-interface object. In some embodiments, event comparator 184 performs a hit test to determine which user-interface object is associated with a sub-event. For example, in an application view in which three user-interface objects are displayed on touch-sensitive display 112, when a touch is detected on touch-sensitive display 112, event comparator 184 performs a hit test to determine which of the three user-interface objects is associated with the touch (sub-event). If each displayed object is associated with a respective event handler 190, the event comparator uses the result of the hit test to determine which event handler 190 should be activated. For example, event comparator 184 selects an event handler associated with the sub-event and the object triggering the hit test.
In some embodiments, the definition for a respective event (187) also includes delayed actions that delay delivery of the event information until after it has been determined whether the sequence of sub-events does or does not correspond to the event recognizer's event type.
When a respective event recognizer 180 determines that the series of sub-events do not match any of the events in event definitions 186, the respective event recognizer 180 enters an event impossible, event failed, or event ended state, after which it disregards subsequent sub-events of the touch-based gesture. In this situation, other event recognizers, if any, that remain active for the hit view continue to track and process sub-events of an ongoing touch-based gesture.
In some embodiments, a respective event recognizer 180 includes metadata 183 with configurable properties, flags, and/or lists that indicate how the event delivery system should perform sub-event delivery to actively involved event recognizers. In some embodiments, metadata 183 includes configurable properties, flags, and/or lists that indicate how event recognizers interact, or are enabled to interact, with one another. In some embodiments, metadata 183 includes configurable properties, flags, and/or lists that indicate whether sub-events are delivered to varying levels in the view or programmatic hierarchy.
In some embodiments, a respective event recognizer 180 activates event handler 190 associated with an event when one or more particular sub-events of an event are recognized. In some embodiments, a respective event recognizer 180 delivers event information associated with the event to event handler 190. Activating an event handler 190 is distinct from sending (and deferred sending) sub-events to a respective hit view. In some embodiments, event recognizer 180 throws a flag associated with the recognized event, and event handler 190 associated with the flag catches the flag and performs a predefined process.
In some embodiments, event delivery instructions 188 include sub-event delivery instructions that deliver event information about a sub-event without activating an event handler. Instead, the sub-event delivery instructions deliver event information to event handlers associated with the series of sub-events or to actively involved views. Event handlers associated with the series of sub-events or with actively involved views receive the event information and perform a predetermined process.
In some embodiments, data updater 176 creates and updates data used in application 136-1. For example, data updater 176 updates the telephone number used in contacts module 137, or stores a video file used in video player module. In some embodiments, object updater 177 creates and updates objects used in application 136-1. For example, object updater 177 creates a new user-interface object or updates the position of a user-interface object. GUI updater 178 updates the GUI. For example, GUI updater 178 prepares display information and sends it to graphics module 132 for display on a touch-sensitive display.
In some embodiments, event handler(s) 190 includes or has access to data updater 176, object updater 177, and GUI updater 178. In some embodiments, data updater 176, object updater 177, and GUI updater 178 are included in a single module of a respective application 136-1 or application view 191. In other embodiments, they are included in two or more software modules.
It shall be understood that the foregoing discussion regarding event handling of user touches on touch-sensitive displays also applies to other forms of user inputs to operate multifunction devices 100 with input devices, not all of which are initiated on touch screens. For example, mouse movement and mouse button presses, optionally coordinated with single or multiple keyboard presses or holds; contact movements such as taps, drags, scrolls, etc. on touchpads; pen stylus inputs; movement of the device; oral instructions; detected eye movements; biometric inputs; and/or any combination thereof are optionally utilized as inputs corresponding to sub-events which define an event to be recognized.
Device 100 optionally also include one or more physical buttons, such as “home” or menu button 204. As described previously, menu button 204 is, optionally, used to navigate to any application 136 in a set of applications that are, optionally, executed on device 100. Alternatively, in some embodiments, the menu button is implemented as a soft key in a GUI displayed on touch screen 112.
In some embodiments, device 100 includes touch screen 112, menu button 204, push button 206 for powering the device on/off and locking the device, volume adjustment button(s) 208, subscriber identity module (SIM) card slot 210, headset jack 212, and docking/charging external port 124. Push button 206 is, optionally, used to turn the power on/off on the device by depressing the button and holding the button in the depressed state for a predefined time interval; to lock the device by depressing the button and releasing the button before the predefined time interval has elapsed; and/or to unlock the device or initiate an unlock process. In an alternative embodiment, device 100 also accepts verbal input for activation or deactivation of some functions through microphone 113. Device 100 also, optionally, includes one or more contact intensity sensors 165 for detecting intensity of contacts on touch screen 112 and/or one or more tactile output generators 167 for generating tactile outputs for a user of device 100.
Each of the above-identified elements in
Attention is now directed towards embodiments of user interfaces that are, optionally, implemented on, for example, portable multifunction device 100.
It should be noted that the icon labels illustrated in
Although some of the examples that follow will be given with reference to inputs on touch screen display 112 (where the touch-sensitive surface and the display are combined), in some embodiments, the device detects inputs on a touch-sensitive surface that is separate from the display, as shown in
Additionally, while the following examples are given primarily with reference to finger inputs (e.g., finger contacts, finger tap gestures, finger swipe gestures), it should be understood that, in some embodiments, one or more of the finger inputs are replaced with input from another input device (e.g., a mouse-based input or stylus input). For example, a swipe gesture is, optionally, replaced with a mouse click (e.g., instead of a contact) followed by movement of the cursor along the path of the swipe (e.g., instead of movement of the contact). As another example, a tap gesture is, optionally, replaced with a mouse click while the cursor is located over the location of the tap gesture (e.g., instead of detection of the contact followed by ceasing to detect the contact). Similarly, when multiple user inputs are simultaneously detected, it should be understood that multiple computer mice are, optionally, used simultaneously, or a mouse and finger contacts are, optionally, used simultaneously.
Exemplary techniques for detecting and processing touch intensity are found, for example, in related applications: International Patent Application Serial No. PCT/US2013/040061, titled “Device, Method, and Graphical User Interface for Displaying User Interface Objects Corresponding to an Application,” filed May 8, 2013, published as WIPO Publication No. WO/2013/169849, and International Patent Application Serial No. PCT/US2013/069483, titled “Device, Method, and Graphical User Interface for Transitioning Between Touch Input to Display Output Relationships,” filed Nov. 11, 2013, published as WIPO Publication No. WO/2014/105276, each of which is hereby incorporated by reference in their entirety.
In some embodiments, device 500 has one or more input mechanisms 506 and 508. Input mechanisms 506 and 508, if included, can be physical. Examples of physical input mechanisms include push buttons and rotatable mechanisms. In some embodiments, device 500 has one or more attachment mechanisms. Such attachment mechanisms, if included, can permit attachment of device 500 with, for example, hats, eyewear, earrings, necklaces, shirts, jackets, bracelets, watch straps, chains, trousers, belts, shoes, purses, backpacks, and so forth. These attachment mechanisms permit device 500 to be worn by a user.
Input mechanism 508 is, optionally, a microphone, in some examples. Personal electronic device 500 optionally includes various sensors, such as GPS sensor 532, accelerometer 534, directional sensor 540 (e.g., compass), gyroscope 536, motion sensor 538, and/or a combination thereof, all of which can be operatively connected to I/O section 514.
Memory 518 of personal electronic device 500 can include one or more non-transitory computer-readable storage mediums, for storing computer-executable instructions, which, when executed by one or more computer processors 516, for example, can cause the computer processors to perform the techniques described below, including processes 700, 900, and 1100 (
As used here, the term “affordance” refers to a user-interactive graphical user interface object that is, optionally, displayed on the display screen of devices 100, 300, and/or 500 (
As used herein, the term “focus selector” refers to an input element that indicates a current part of a user interface with which a user is interacting. In some implementations that include a cursor or other location marker, the cursor acts as a “focus selector” so that when an input (e.g., a press input) is detected on a touch-sensitive surface (e.g., touchpad 355 in
As used in the specification and claims, the term “characteristic intensity” of a contact refers to a characteristic of the contact based on one or more intensities of the contact. In some embodiments, the characteristic intensity is based on multiple intensity samples. The characteristic intensity is, optionally, based on a predefined number of intensity samples, or a set of intensity samples collected during a predetermined time period (e.g., 0.05, 0.1, 0.2, 0.5, 1, 2, 5, 10 seconds) relative to a predefined event (e.g., after detecting the contact, prior to detecting liftoff of the contact, before or after detecting a start of movement of the contact, prior to detecting an end of the contact, before or after detecting an increase in intensity of the contact, and/or before or after detecting a decrease in intensity of the contact). A characteristic intensity of a contact is, optionally, based on one or more of: a maximum value of the intensities of the contact, a mean value of the intensities of the contact, an average value of the intensities of the contact, a top 10 percentile value of the intensities of the contact, a value at the half maximum of the intensities of the contact, a value at the 90 percent maximum of the intensities of the contact, or the like. In some embodiments, the duration of the contact is used in determining the characteristic intensity (e.g., when the characteristic intensity is an average of the intensity of the contact over time). In some embodiments, the characteristic intensity is compared to a set of one or more intensity thresholds to determine whether an operation has been performed by a user. For example, the set of one or more intensity thresholds optionally includes a first intensity threshold and a second intensity threshold. In this example, a contact with a characteristic intensity that does not exceed the first threshold results in a first operation, a contact with a characteristic intensity that exceeds the first intensity threshold and does not exceed the second intensity threshold results in a second operation, and a contact with a characteristic intensity that exceeds the second threshold results in a third operation. In some embodiments, a comparison between the characteristic intensity and one or more thresholds is used to determine whether or not to perform one or more operations (e.g., whether to perform a respective operation or forgo performing the respective operation), rather than being used to determine whether to perform a first operation or a second operation.
As used herein, an “installed application” refers to a software application that has been downloaded onto an electronic device (e.g., devices 100, 300, and/or 500) and is ready to be launched (e.g., become opened) on the device. In some embodiments, a downloaded application becomes an installed application by way of an installation program that extracts program portions from a downloaded package and integrates the extracted portions with the operating system of the computer system.
As used herein, the terms “open application” or “executing application” refer to a software application with retained state information (e.g., as part of device/global internal state 157 and/or application internal state 192). An open or executing application is, optionally, any one of the following types of applications:
As used herein, the term “closed application” refers to software applications without retained state information (e.g., state information for closed applications is not stored in a memory of the device). Accordingly, closing an application includes stopping and/or removing application processes for the application and removing state information for the application from the memory of the device. Generally, opening a second application while in a first application does not close the first application. When the second application is displayed and the first application ceases to be displayed, the first application becomes a background application.
Attention is now directed towards embodiments of user interfaces (“UI”) and associated processes that are implemented on an electronic device, such as portable multifunction device 100, device 300, or device 500.

As described below, method 700 provides an intuitive way for enrolling a digital identification credential. The method reduces the cognitive burden on a user for enrolling a digital identification credential, thereby creating a more efficient human-machine interface. For battery-operated computing devices, enabling a user to enroll a digital identification credential faster and more efficiently conserves power and increases the time between battery charges.
The computer system (e.g., 600) detects (702), via the one or more input devices, one or more user inputs (e.g., one or more tap user inputs and/or one or more non-tap user inputs) (e.g., 608, 614) corresponding to a request to add a digital identification credential to the computer system.
Subsequent to detecting the one or more user inputs (704) (e.g., in response to detecting the one or more user inputs), the computer system (e.g., 600) displays (706), via the display generation component, a liveness check user interface (e.g., 636) including one or more (e.g., textual, graphical, and/or audio) directions for a user to provide liveness check information (e.g., 638D, 638E). In some embodiments, the one or more directions include one or more directions for the user to perform a gesture (e.g., one or more directions to perform a gesture in front of a camera and/or capture the gesture using the camera).
Subsequent to detecting the one or more user inputs (704) (e.g., in response to detecting the one or more user inputs), the computer system (e.g., 600) receives (708), via the one or more input devices, liveness check information (e.g., 638C) (e.g., image and/or video information captured by a camera). In some embodiments, the liveness check information is received while displaying the liveness check user interface.
Subsequent to detecting the one or more user inputs (704) (e.g., in response to detecting the one or more user inputs), the computer system (e.g., 600) displays (710), via the display generation component, an identity check user interface (e.g., 648) including one or more directions for a user to provide identity check information (e.g., 648 in
Subsequent to detecting the one or more user inputs (704) (e.g., in response to detecting the one or more user inputs), the computer system (e.g., 600) receives (712), via the one or more input devices, identity check information (e.g., 628C (e.g., photos of front and/or back of physical identification credential), 650C (e.g., photo of user)) (e.g., image information captured by a camera). In some embodiments, identity check information is received while displaying the identity check user interface.
Subsequent to receiving the liveness check information and the identity check information (714), and in accordance with a determination that the liveness check information satisfies a set of liveness check criteria (e.g., image and/or video information captured by the camera (e.g., the liveness check information) matches one or more gestures that were instructed in the liveness check user interface) and that the identity check information satisfies a set of identity check criteria (716) (e.g., in accordance with a determination that image and/or video information captured by the camera (e.g., as part of the liveness check information and/or identity check information) matches and/or corresponds to an image depicted on the physical identification credential) (e.g., in accordance with a determination that a third party has provided verification that image information captured by the camera (e.g., as part of the liveness check information and/or identity check information) matches and/or corresponds to the image depicted on the physical identification credential) (e.g., in accordance with a determination that one or more self-photographs that are part of the identity check information depict the same user as visual content (e.g., image content and/or video content) that is part of the liveness check information), the computer system (e.g., 600) adds (718) the digital identification credential to the computer system (e.g.,
Subsequent to receiving the liveness check information and the identity check information (714), and in accordance with a determination that the liveness check information does not satisfy the set of liveness check criteria (e.g., image and/or video information captured by the camera (e.g., the liveness check information) does not match one or more gestures that were instructed in the liveness check user interface) and/or that the identity check information does not satisfy the set of identity check criteria (720) (e.g., in accordance with a determination that image and/or video information captured by the camera (e.g., as part of the liveness check information) does not match and/or correspond to an image depicted on the physical identification credential) (e.g., in accordance with a determination that a third party has not provided verification that image information captured by the camera (e.g., as part of the liveness check information) matches and/or corresponds to the image depicted on the physical identification credential) (e.g., in accordance with a determination that one or more self-photographs that are part of the identity check information do not depict the same user as visual content (e.g., image content and/or video content) that is part of the liveness check information), the computer system (e.g., 600) forgoes adding (722) the digital identification credential to the computer system. In some embodiments, in accordance with the determination that the liveness check information does not satisfy the set of liveness check criteria and/or that the identity check information does not satisfy the set of identity check criteria, the computer system displays a visual indication that the liveness check information does not satisfy the set of liveness check criteria and/or that the identify check information does not satisfy the set of identity check criteria. Forgoing adding the digital identification credential to the computer system if the liveness check information does not satisfy the set of liveness check criteria and/or the identity check information does not satisfy the identity check criteria provides enhanced security and can prevent unauthorized users from initiating sensitive operations.
In some embodiments, the computer system (e.g., 600) displays (e.g., concurrently displays), via the display generation component: a first option (e.g., 624B) that corresponds to a user request to add the digital identification credential to the computer system and a first external electronic device (e.g., an external electronic device different and/or separate from the computer system) (e.g., a smart phone, a smart watch, and/or a tablet) (e.g., a first option that is selectable to initiate a process for adding the digital identification credential to the computer system and the first external electronic device); and a second option (e.g., 624C) that corresponds to a user request to add the digital identification credential to the computer system without adding the digital identification credential to the first external electronic device (e.g., corresponds to a user request to add the digital identification credential to only the computer system) (e.g., a second option that is selectable to initiate a process for adding the digital identification credential to the computer system without adding the digital identification credential to the first external electronic device). Displaying a first option that corresponds to a user request to add the digital identification credential to the computer system and the first external electronic device, and a second option that corresponds to a user request to add the digital identification credential to the computer system without adding the digital identification credential to the first external electronic device, allows a user to specify which devices should store the digital identification credential without the need for the user to perform the various security procedures to again to add the digital identification credential to both devices, thereby reducing the number of required user inputs.
In some embodiments, the computer system receives a first selection input (e.g., 626) (e.g., one or more tap user inputs and/or one or more non-tap user inputs).
In some embodiments, subsequent to receiving the liveness check information (e.g., 638C) and the identity check information (e.g., 628C and/or 650C), and in accordance with a determination that the first selection input corresponds to selection of the first option, that the liveness check information satisfies a set of liveness check criteria, and that the identity check information satisfies a set of identity check criteria, the computer system (e.g., 600) adds the digital identification credential to the first external electronic device (e.g.,
In some embodiments, subsequent to receiving the liveness check information (e.g., 638C) and the identity check information (e.g., 628C and/or 650C), and in accordance with a determination that the first selection input corresponds to selection of the second option (e.g., even if the liveness check and identity check are satisfied; and/or regardless of whether liveness check and identity check are satisfied), the computer system (e.g., 600) forgoes adding the digital identification credential to the first external electronic device. In some embodiments, the computer system forgoes adding the digital identification credential to any electronic device other than the computer system.
In some embodiments, subsequent to detecting the one or more user inputs (in some embodiments, and prior to adding the digital identification credential to the computer system and/or forgoing adding the digital identification credential to the computer system) (in some embodiments, prior to the determination of whether the liveness check information satisfies the liveness check criteria and/or the identity check information satisfies the set of identity check criteria), the computer system (e.g., 600) receives, via the one or more input devices, information (e.g., 628C) about (e.g., taking an image and/or a photograph of and/or reading information from the physical identification credential via NFC) (e.g., via a camera of the computer system and/or via an NFC reader of the computer system) a physical identification credential (e.g., 630) (e.g., a physical driver's license, state identification card, employee identification card, benefits identification card, rewards card, and/or passport) corresponding to the digital identification credential. In some embodiments, the computer system receives first information about (e.g., a first scan of) the physical identification credential (e.g., a scan of the front of the physical identification credential) and receives second information about (e.g., a second scan of) the physical identification credential (e.g., a scan of the back of the physical identification credential). Receiving information about the physical identification credential corresponding to the digital identification credential enables the computer system to have access to information about the user, thereby providing enhanced security and helping to prevent unauthorized users from initiating sensitive operations.
In some embodiments, the one or more directions for a user to provide liveness check information (e.g., 638D, 638E) includes one or more directions instructing a user to perform a predefined gesture (e.g., a first predefined gesture selected from a plurality of predefined gestures and/or performed within a field of view of a camera of the computer system). In some embodiments, receiving liveness check information includes receiving video content (e.g., 638C) (e.g., recording video content and/or receiving video content recorded by (e.g., using a camera of) the computer system) (e.g., video content captured by a camera subsequent to (e.g., while) displaying the one or more directions for the user to provide liveness check information). In some embodiments, the determination that the liveness check information satisfies the set of liveness check criteria includes a determination that the video content depicts a user performing the predefined gesture. In some embodiments, the determination that the video content depicts a user performing the predefined gesture is performed based on a machine learning model. In some embodiments, the set of liveness check criteria includes a first criterion that is not satisfied if the video does not depict a user performing the predefined gesture. In some embodiments, the one or more directions for the user to provide liveness check information includes a demonstration (e.g., a video demonstration and/or an animated demonstration) of the predefined gesture. Determining whether the video content depicts a user performing the predefined gesture provides enhanced security and can prevent unauthorized users from initiating sensitive operations.
In some embodiments, the predefined gesture includes one or more head movements (e.g., turn head up, down, left, and/or right; and/or tilt head left and/or right) (e.g.,
In some embodiments, the predefined gesture includes one or more facial movements (e.g., smile, frown, open mouth, open eyes, close eyes, and/or raise eyebrows) (e.g.,
In some embodiments, displaying the one or more directions for the user to provide liveness check information includes displaying, via the display generation component, a demonstration (e.g., 638E) (e.g., a video demonstration and/or an animated demonstration) of the predefined gesture. Displaying a demonstration of the predefined gesture provides the user with feedback about the current state of the device (e.g., the device is detecting the predefined gesture that is displayed in the demonstration).
In some embodiments, after displaying the demonstration of the predefined gesture (e.g., 638E) for a threshold period of time (e.g., 3 seconds, 5 seconds, or 7 seconds; sufficient time to display the demonstration of the predefined gesture a threshold number of times), the computer system (e.g., 600) displays, via the display generation component, a video capture user interface (e.g., 638C in
In some embodiments, after (e.g., while) displaying the video capture user interface (e.g., 638C), in accordance with a determination to that the video capture user interface has been displayed for a second threshold period of time (e.g., 5 seconds or 10 seconds) without the predefined gesture being detected, the computer system (e.g., 600) re-displays, via the display generation component, the demonstration of the predefined gesture (e.g., 638E in
In some embodiments, subsequent to receiving the video content (e.g., 638E), and in response to determining that the video content depicts the user successfully performing the predefined gesture, the computer system (e.g., 600) outputs a haptic output (e.g.,
In some embodiments, the liveness check information (e.g., 638C) is captured by the computer system (e.g., 600) (e.g., a camera in communication with the computer system and/or a camera of the computer system) and is stored on the computer system (e.g., and is not transmitted to any external device by the computer system); and the determination that the liveness check information satisfies the set of liveness check criteria or does not satisfy the set of liveness check criteria is performed on the computer system without the computer system transmitting the liveness check information to an external device. In some embodiments, the liveness check information (e.g., captured video content) and a machine learning model trained to determine whether or not the liveness check information satisfies the set of liveness check criteria (e.g., trained to determine whether captured video content depicts a user performing one or more predefined gestures) are stored locally on the computer system so that the liveness check determination can be performed locally on the computer system without transmitting the liveness check information to an external device. Performing the liveness check locally on the computer system without transmitting liveness check information to any external device provides enhanced security and can prevent unauthorized users from initiating sensitive operations and/or accessing sensitive data.
In some embodiments, subsequent to (e.g., while) displaying the liveness check user interface (e.g., 636), the computer system (e.g., 600) detects a first set of user inputs (e.g., 644) (e.g., one or more tap inputs and/or one or more non-tap inputs) corresponding to a request to initiate capture of video content, wherein receiving the video content comprises capturing video content in response to detecting the first set of user inputs (e.g., displaying camera capture region 638C in response to user input 644 in
In some embodiments, the computer system detects, via the one or more input devices, a second set of inputs (e.g., 642) (e.g., one or more tap inputs and/or one or more non-tap inputs) corresponding to a request to select a different predefined gesture. In some embodiments, the second set of inputs is detected subsequent to (e.g., while) displaying the one or more directions instructions a user to perform the predefined gesture. In response to detecting the second set of inputs, the computer system (e.g., 600) displays one or more directions (e.g., 638D in
In some embodiments, subsequent to (e.g., while) displaying the one or more directions instructing a user to performed the predefined gesture (e.g., 638D, 638E), the computer system (e.g., 600) determines that the predefined gesture has not been detected for a third threshold period of time (e.g., 20 seconds or 30 seconds) (e.g., a threshold period of time since displaying the one or more directions instructing the user to perform the predefined gesture and/or a threshold period of time after initiating video capture (e.g., after activating a camera and/or displaying a video capture user interface)) (e.g., determining that video content captured by a camera does not depict a user performing the predefined gesture). In some embodiments, the third threshold period of time is the same as the second threshold period of time.
In some embodiments, in response to determining that the predefined gesture has not been detected for the third threshold period of time, the computer system (e.g., 600) displays a third option (e.g., 638H) that is selectable to initiate a process to request a different predefined gesture (e.g., a different predefined gesture of the plurality of predefined gestures). In some embodiments, the user selects the third option to cause the computer system to provide the different predefined gesture for use in the liveness check. In some embodiments, while displaying the third option, the computer system detects, via the one or more input devices, a selection input corresponding to selection of the third option; and in response to detecting the selection input corresponding to selection of the third option, the computer system displays, via the display generation component, one or more directions instructing a user to performed a third predefined gesture different from the predefined gesture, and, optionally, ceases displaying the one or more directions instructing the user to perform the predefined gesture and/or ceases displaying a video capture user interface. Displaying a third option that is selectable to initiate a process for requesting a different predefined gesture in response to determining that the predefined gesture has not been detected for the third threshold period of time provides the user with feedback about the current state of the device (e.g., the device has not yet detected the predefined gesture).
In some embodiments, receiving the identity check information includes receiving one or more photographs (e.g., 650C) captured by a camera (e.g., a camera in communication with the computer system) (e.g., the same camera used to capture video content for the liveness check information) (e.g., one or more photographs captured by a camera subsequent to (e.g., while) displaying the one or more directions for the user to provide identity check information). In some embodiments, the one or more directions for the user to provide identity check information includes one or more directions for the user to capture a self-photograph (e.g., capture an image of the user) (e.g., using a camera (e.g., a camera in communication with the computer system) (e.g., the same camera used to capture video content for the liveness check information)).
In some embodiments, the determination that the identity check information satisfies the set of identity check criteria includes a determination that the video content (e.g., 638C) of the liveness check information depicts the same user as the one or more photographs (e.g., 650C) of the identity check information (e.g., the determination that the identity check satisfies the set of identity check criteria includes a determination that one or more frames of the video content that is part of the liveness check information depict the same user as the one or more photographs that are part of the identity check information) (e.g., based on a machine learning model). In some embodiments, the determination that the identity check information does not satisfy the set of identity check criteria includes a determination that the video content that is part of the liveness check information does not depict the same user as the one or more photographs that are part of the identity check information (e.g., the determination that the identity check does not satisfy the set of identity check criteria includes a determination that one or more frames of the video content that is part of the liveness check information do not depict the same user as the one or more photographs that are part of the identity check information). Determining whether the video content that is part of the liveness check information depicts the same user as the one or more photographs that are part of the identity check information provides enhanced security and can prevent unauthorized users from initiating sensitive operations and/or accessing sensitive data (e.g., by preventing an unauthorized user from adding the digital identification credential to his or her device).
In some embodiments, in accordance with the determination that the liveness check information satisfies the set of liveness check criteria, and that the identity check information satisfies the set of identity check criteria, the computer system (e.g., 600) initiates a process for transmitting credential authentication information corresponding to the digital identification credential (e.g., a subset of the identity check information, one or more self-photographs captured as part of the identity check information, and/or one or more scans of a physical identification credential corresponding to the digital identification credential (e.g., a physical driver's license, state identification card, employee identification card, benefits identification card, rewards card, and/or passport)) to an external electronic device (e.g., an external electronic device associated with a third party (e.g., a third party associated with and/or corresponding to the digital identification credential (e.g., a third party that issued and/or authorized a physical identification credential corresponding to the digital identification credential))) (e.g.,
In some embodiments, initiating the process for transmitting credential authentication information to the external electronic device includes, prior to transmitting the credential authentication information to the external electronic device, displaying, via the display generation component, a notification (e.g., 654, 656A) that credential authentication information will be transmitted to a third party. In some embodiments, displaying the notification that credential authentication information will be transmitted to a third party includes displaying a notification identifying the information that will be transmitted to the third party (e.g., one or more self-photographs captured as part of the identity check information and/or one or more scans of a physical identification credential corresponding to the digital identification credential). In some embodiments, displaying the notification that credential authentication information will be transmitted to a third party includes displaying a notification identifying the third party. Displaying a notification that credential authentication information will be transmitted to a third party provides the user with feedback about the current state of the device (e.g., the device will imminently transmit credential authentication information to a third party).
In some embodiments, in accordance with the determination that the liveness check information satisfies the set of liveness check criteria and that the identity check information satisfies the set of identity check criteria, the computer system (e.g., 600) binds the digital identification credential to a biometric profile stored on the computer system (e.g.,
In some embodiments, binding the digital identification credential to the biometric profile stored on the computer system includes: receiving, via the one or more input devices, biometric information (e.g.,
In some embodiments, binding the digital identification credential to the biometric profile stored on the computer system includes binding the digital identification credential to a first facial scan profile of a plurality of facial scan profiles stored on the computer system (e.g.,
In some embodiments, binding the digital identification credential to the biometric profile stored on the computer system includes binding the digital identification credential to a first fingerprint scan profile of a plurality of fingerprint scan profiles stored on the computer system (in some embodiments, without binding the digital identification credential to any other fingerprint scan profiles of the plurality of fingerprint scan profiles stored on the computer system). Binding the digital identification credential to a fingerprint scan biometric profile stored on the computer system provides enhanced security and can prevent unauthorized users from initiating sensitive operations and/or accessing sensitive data (e.g., by preventing an unauthorized user from utilizing the digital identification credential).
In some embodiments, subsequent to detecting the one or more user inputs: the computer system (e.g., 600) detects, via the one or more input devices, a second set of user inputs (e.g., 620) (e.g., entry on a displayed keyboard, and/or selection from a list) identifying (e.g., selecting) a geographic region (e.g., a state, a county, a country, a continent and/or a city) associated with the digital identification credential (e.g.,

As discussed above, a user provides one or more inputs (e.g., input 810 via side button 809) and also provides biometric information in order to authorize electronic device 600 to transmit digital credential information to external reader device 800. Authorizing the device to transmit information to an external reader device can also be referred to as “arming” the device. In some embodiments, some types of digital credentials, such as digital payment credentials, can be “pre-armed,” such that a user can provide one or more inputs (e.g., one or more touch inputs and/or button inputs and/or biometric inputs) to authorize transmission of information to an external reader even before the external reader is detected. In such scenarios, when electronic device 600 detects the external reader, electronic device 600 is already authorized to transmit digital credential information (e.g., payment information) to the external reader without further user input. However, in some embodiments, some types of digital credentials, such as digital identification credentials, cannot be pre-armed, such that a user cannot provide (e.g., is not permitted to provide) authorization inputs (e.g., one or more touch inputs and/or button inputs and/or biometric inputs) authorizing transmission of digital credential information to an external reader until electronic device 600 has detected the external reader, has connected to the external reader, has received information from the external reader (e.g., entity information and information identifying the digital credential information that the external reader is requesting), and displayed user interface 806 which displays the entity information and the information identifying the digital credential information being requested by the external reader.
As discussed above with reference to
As described below, method 900 provides an intuitive way for using a digital identification credential. The method reduces the cognitive burden on a user for using a digital identification credential, thereby creating a more efficient human-machine interface. For battery-operated computing devices, enabling a user to use a digital identification credential faster and more efficiently conserves power and increases the time between battery charges.
The computer system (e.g., 600) receives (902), via the one or more input devices, a request for digital identification from an external electronic device (e.g., 800) (e.g., a digital credential reader, and/or an NFC-enabled contactless reader) that is separate from the computer system. In some embodiments, the request is received from the external electronic device based on the computer system having been placed into an RF field (e.g., an NFC RF field) generated by the external electronic device.
In response to receiving the request for digital identification from the external electronic device (e.g.,
Subsequent to (e.g., while) displaying the first user interface that identifies one or more pieces (e.g., a single piece or a plurality of pieces) of digital identification credential information being requested by the external electronic device (910), the computer system (e.g., 600) detects (912), via the one or more input devices, one or more user inputs (e.g., 810) (e.g., one or more tap inputs, one or more button inputs, one or more biometric inputs (e.g., photo, fingerprint scan, face scan, and/or eye scan)).
In response to detecting the one or more user inputs (914), and in accordance with a determination that the one or more user inputs satisfy one or more information transmission criteria (e.g., biometric authentication in
In some embodiments, the computer system (e.g., 600) does not transmit any pieces of digital credential information (e.g., requested by the external electronic device or otherwise) to the external electronic device without first providing the user with what pieces of digital credential information have been requested and/or will be transmitted upon authorization and, receiving (subsequent to providing the user with what pieces of digital credential information requested/to be transmitting) user approval by satisfying the one or more information transmission criteria. Thus, in some embodiments, a prior user authorization (received prior to displaying the pieces of information requested/to be transmitted) to transmit digital credential information does not satisfy the one or more information transmission criteria.
In some embodiments, the one or more information transmission criteria includes a first criterion that is satisfied if the one or more user inputs include one or more user inputs (e.g., one or more tap inputs and/or one or more button inputs) corresponding to a request to transmit the requested digital credential information to the external electronic device. In some embodiments, the one or more information transmission criteria includes a second criterion that is satisfied if the one or more user inputs include biometric information (e.g., fingerprint scan, face scan, eye scan, and/or photo) and the biometric information matches biometric information stored on the computer system (e.g., biometric information corresponding to the digital identification credential stored on the computer system).
In some embodiments, in accordance with a determination that the external electronic device is not authorized to receive digital identification credential information (e.g., in accordance with a determination that the external electronic device is not a recognized digital credential reader), the computer system displays a second user interface different from the first user interface. In some embodiments, in accordance with a determination that the one or more user inputs do not satisfy the one or more information transmission criteria, the computer system forgoes transmitting the one or more pieces of digital identification credential information requested by the external electronic device to the external electronic device.
In some embodiments, in response to receiving the request for digital identification from the external electronic device, and in accordance with a determination that the external electronic device is not authorized to receive digital identification credential information (e.g., in accordance with a determination that the external electronic device is not a recognized and/or authorized digital credential reader), the computer system (e.g., 600) displays, via the display generation component, a notification (e.g., 812) indicating that the external electronic device is not authorized to receive digital identification credential information. In some embodiments, in accordance with the determination that the external electronic device is not authorized to receive digital identification credential information, the computer system displays a first option that is selectable to approve transmission of digital identification credential information to the external electronic device (e.g., despite the external electronic device not being authorized to receive digital identification credential information) (e.g., selectable to initiate and/or further a process for transmitting digital identification credential information to the external electronic device). Displaying a notification indicating that the external electronic device is not authorized to receive digital identification credential information provides enhanced security by informing the user that the external electronic device is not authorized, which can help users avoid initiating a transfer of sensitive information.
In some embodiments, displaying the first user interface further includes displaying identifying information identifying an entity corresponding to the external electronic device (e.g., 808A) (e.g., an entity requesting the one or more pieces of digital identification credential information, such as a merchant or government agency). Displaying the first user interface that identifies an entity corresponding to the external electronic device provides the user with feedback about the current state of the device (e.g., that the device has received a request for one or more pieces of digital identification credential information from the entity corresponding to the external electronic device). Displaying entity information identifying the entity that is requesting the digital identification credential information provides enhanced security and can prevent unauthorized users from initiating sensitive operations and/or accessing sensitive information.
In some embodiments, the one or more pieces of digital identification credential information represents a subset (e.g., some (less than all) or all) of digital identification credential information associated with (e.g., corresponding to) the digital identification credential (e.g., 606G) stored on the computer system (e.g., 600) (e.g., name, date of birth, age, above/below specified (non-zero) age threshold (e.g., older than or not older than 18 years old, without specifying an age), gender, ID photo, height, weight, eye color, hair color, organ donor status, veteran status, and/or address) (e.g., a digital identification credential corresponding to a physical identification credential (e.g., a physical driver's license, state identification card, employee identification card, benefits identification card, rewards card, and/or passport)). In some embodiments, the digital identification credential stored on the computer system is associated with a first set of digital identification credential information, and the external electronic device requests some or all of the first set of digital identification credential information. Displaying the first user interface that identifies one or more pieces of digital identification credential information being requested by the external electronic device provides enhanced security and can prevent unauthorized users from initiating sensitive operations and/or accessing sensitive information.
In some embodiments, displaying the first user interface (e.g., 806) that identifies one or more pieces of digital identification credential information being requested by the external electronic device (e.g., 8000) includes: displaying, via the display generation component, a first indication (e.g., 808B-2) that a first subset of the one or more pieces of digital identification credential information will be transmitted to the external electronic device but will not be stored by the external electronic device (e.g., will not be stored by an entity associated with the external electronic device) (e.g., will not be stored in a non-transitory computer readable medium (e.g., will only be stored temporarily in a transitory computer readable medium)) (e.g., will be not be stored in a computer-readable medium in a non-transitory manner such that the information cannot be accessed in the future by the entity associated with the external electronic device); and displaying (e.g., concurrently displaying), via the display generation component, a second indication (e.g., 808B-1) that a second subset (e.g., different from the first subset, not overlapping the first subset) of the one or more pieces of digital identification credential information will be transmitted to the external electronic device and will be stored by the external electronic device (e.g., will be stored by an entity associated with the external electronic device) (e.g., will be stored in a non-transitory computer readable medium) (e.g., will be stored in a computer-readable medium in a non-transitory manner such that the information can be accessed in the future by the entity associated with the external electronic device). In some embodiments, the first indication and the second indication are concurrently displayed. Displaying an indication of which pieces of information will be stored by the external electronic device and which pieces of information will not be stored by the external electronic device provides enhanced security and can prevent unauthorized users from initiating sensitive operations and/or accessing sensitive information.
In some embodiments, prior to receiving the request for digital identification from the external electronic device, the computer system (e.g., 600) forgoes displaying, via the display generation component, any content (e.g.,
In some embodiments, prior to receiving (e.g., immediately prior to receiving) the request for digital identification from the external electronic device, the computer system displays, via the display generation component, a second user interface (e.g., 802) different from the first user interface (in some embodiments, the computer system receives the request for digital identification from the external electronic device while displaying the second user interface). In some embodiments, displaying the first user interface (e.g., 806) includes displaying the first user interface overlaid on the second user interface (e.g., 802) (e.g., the first user interface partially covers, overlays onto, and/or obscures the second user interface). In some embodiments, while displaying the first user interface, the second user interface is visually deemphasized (e.g., is darkened and/or blurred) (e.g., relative to the first user interface and/or relative to display of the second user interface prior to display of the first user interface). Displaying the first user interface overlaid on the second user interface provides the user with feedback about the current state of the device (e.g., that the device will return to the second user interface after transmission of content to the external electronic device is completed and/or canceled).
In some embodiments, in response to receiving the request for digital identification credential information from the external electronic device, and prior to displaying the first user interface, the computer system (e.g., 600) displays a third user interface (e.g., 804), different from the first user interface, indicating that a connection (e.g., a secure connection) is being established with the external electronic device. In some embodiments, digital identification credential information is not transmitted to the external electronic device while displaying the third user interface. In some embodiments, digital identification credential information is not transmitted to the external electronic device prior to the determination that the one or more user inputs satisfy the one or more information transmission criteria. Displaying the third user interface indicating that a connection is being established with the external electronic device provides the user with feedback about the current state of the device (e.g., that the device is establishing a connection with the external electronic device).
In some embodiments, the one or more user inputs includes biometric information corresponding to a user of the computer system (e.g.,
In some embodiments, the biometric information includes a facial scan (e.g., including a plurality of characteristics of facial features), and the biometric profile is a facial scan profile (e.g., a facial scan profile stored on the computer system). Requiring facial scan authentication prior to transmitting the digital identification credential information to the external electronic device provides enhanced security and can prevent unauthorized users from initiating sensitive operations and/or accessing sensitive information (e.g., by preventing an unauthorized user from utilizing the digital identification credential and/or transmitting digital identification credential information).
In some embodiments, the biometric information includes a fingerprint scan (e.g., including a plurality of characteristics of fingerprint features), and the biometric profile is a fingerprint scan profile (e.g., a fingerprint scan profile stored on the computer system). Requiring fingerprint scan authentication prior to transmitting the digital identification credential information to the external electronic device provides enhanced security and can prevent unauthorized users from initiating sensitive operations and/or accessing sensitive information (e.g., by preventing an unauthorized user from utilizing the digital identification credential and/or transmitting digital identification credential information).
In some embodiments, the digital identification credential is associated with (e.g., bound with) a first biometric profile stored on the computer system, and is not associated with (e.g., not bound with) a second biometric profile stored on the computer system. In some embodiments, the digital identification credential is associated with only the first biometric profile stored on the computer system, and is not associated with any other biometric profile stored on the computer system. In some embodiments, the one or more information transmission criteria includes a biometric criterion that is satisfied when the biometric information corresponds to a biometric profile associated with (e.g., bound with) the digital identification credential (e.g., the determination that the one or more user inputs satisfy the one or more information transmission criteria includes a determination that the biometric information corresponds to (e.g., matches) the first biometric profile) (e.g.,
In some embodiments, in response to detecting the one or more user inputs, and in accordance with the determination that the one or more user inputs satisfy the one or more information transmission criteria (in some embodiments, in response to and/or subsequent to transmitting the one or more pieces of digital identification credential information to the external electronic device), the computer system (e.g., 600) stores, on the computer system, first transmission instance information corresponding to the transmitting the one or more pieces of digital identification credential information to the external electronic device (e.g.,
In some embodiments, subsequent to storing the first transmission instance information on the computer system, the computer system (e.g., 600) displays, via the display generation component, a fourth user interface including representations of a plurality of digital credentials (e.g., 604) (e.g., one or more digital payment credentials, one or more digital rewards credentials, one or more digital membership credentials, and/or one or more digital identification credentials), including the digital identification credential (e.g., 606G). While displaying the fourth user interface, the computer system (e.g., 600) detects, via the one or more input devices, a second set of user inputs (e.g., 1000) (e.g., one or more tap inputs and/or one or more non-tap inputs) corresponding to a request to display representations of a plurality of transmission instances corresponding to the digital identification credential (e.g., instances in which digital identification credential information corresponding to the digital identification credential was transmitted to an external electronic device) (e.g., without displaying transmission instances corresponding to other digital credentials). In response to detecting the second set of user inputs, the computer system (e.g., 600) displays, via the display generation component, representations of a plurality of transmission instances (e.g., 1004B, 1004C, 1004D), including a first representation corresponding to (e.g., representative of) the first transmission instance information. While displaying the first representation, the computer system detects, via the one or more input devices, a third set of user inputs (e.g., 1008A, 1008B, 1008C) (e.g., one or more tap inputs and/or one or more non-tap inputs) corresponding to selection of the first representation. In response to detecting the third set of user inputs, the computer system (e.g., 600) displays, via the display generation component, at least a subset of the first transmission instance information (e.g.,
In some embodiments, the first transmission instance information includes: identification of one or more pieces of digital identification credential information that was transmitted to the external electronic device but was not stored by the external electronic device (e.g., 1012E) (e.g., an entity associated with the external electronic device); and identification of one or more pieces of digital identification credential information that was transmitted to the external electronic device and was stored by the external electronic device (e.g., 1012D) (e.g., an entity associated with the external electronic device). Storing a record of types of information that was transmitted to an external electronic device and was stored by the external electronic device enables the computer system to provide the user with a history of transactions and what information was provided as part of the transaction.
In some embodiments, the digital identification credential (e.g., 606G) is a digital credential of a first type (e.g., an identification credential and/or a non-identification credential). In some embodiments, the computer system stores one or more digital credentials of the first type, and the computer system stores one or more digital credentials of a second type (e.g., 606A-606C) (e.g., different from the first type, a payment credential, and/or a non-payment credential such as a loyalty account credential). In some embodiments, the one or more digital credentials of the second type are configured to be authorized for transmission of digital information to an external device (e.g., 800) before and/or after the computer system detects a nearby external device (e.g., before or after the computer system detects a request for information by the external device) (e.g., digital credentials of the second type can be “pre-armed” (e.g., pre-authorized by a user) to transmit digital information to an external device even before the computer system detects a request from an external device). In some embodiments, the one or more digital credentials of the first type are not configured to be authorized to transmit digital information to an external device until the external device has been detected by the computer system, and the computer system has displayed, via the display generation component, digital information being requested by the external device (e.g., 806, 808B) (e.g., digital credentials of the first type cannot be “pre-armed” (e.g., pre-authorized by a user) to transmit digital information to an external device) (e.g., digital credentials of the first type must first receive a request for digital information from an external device, and must first display the digital information being requested by the external device, prior to receiving authorization from a user to transmit the digital information to the external device (e.g., prior to receiving one or more user inputs that satisfy the information transmission criteria)). In some embodiments, the computer system will not transmit the one or more digital credentials of the first type without receiving explicit user authorization for the transaction after the computer system has received a request from the external electronic device for that transaction (e.g., the computer system does not allow pre-arming and/or pre-approving a transaction before the transaction request has been received and details of the transaction are displayed for the user). As a result, the computer systems helps to prevent a user from authorizing a transaction without first recognizing the information that will be transmitted as part of the transaction. In contrast, the computer system will transmit one or more digital credentials of the second type if the user has provided prior authorization (prior to receiving the request for the transaction) for transfers of the second type. Preventing digital credentials of the first type from being authorized to transmit digital information to an external device until the external device has been detected by the computer system and until digital information being requested by the external device is displayed on the display generation component (e.g., preventing digital credentials of the first type from being “pre-armed”) provides enhanced security and can prevent unauthorized users from initiating sensitive operations and/or accessing sensitive information (e.g., by ensuring that private information is not mistakenly or improperly being transmitted to external devices without explicit user authorization).
In some embodiments, the computer system (e.g., 600) receives, via the one or more input devices, a second request for digital credential information from a second external electronic device (e.g., 800) (e.g., a digital credential reader, and/or an NFC-enabled contactless reader) that is separate from the computer system, wherein the second request for digital credential information is received via a first connection channel (e.g., a first wireless connection channel, and/or a first connection channel of a first type); In some embodiments, the second request is received from the second external electronic device based on the computer system having been placed into an RF field (e.g., an NFC RF field) generated by the second external electronic device. In response to receiving the second request for digital credential information from the second external electronic device, and in accordance with a determination that the second request for digital credential information corresponds to a request for digital credential information corresponding to a digital credential of a second type (e.g., a digital payment credential) and that a first set of transmission conditions have been satisfied, the computer system (e.g., 600) transmits digital credential information to the second external electronic device via the first connection channel; and in accordance with a determination that the second request for digital credential information corresponds to a request for digital credential information from a digital credential of a first type (e.g., a digital identification credential) and that a second set of transmission conditions have been satisfied (e.g., different from the first set of transmission conditions) (e.g., the same as the first set of transmission conditions), the computer system (e.g., 600) transmits digital credential information to the second external electronic device via a second connection channel separate from the first connection channel (e.g., a second wireless connection channel, and/or a second connection channel of a second type different from the first type). In some embodiments, when the digital credential information is of the second type, credentials are transmitted using the same communication channel and/or communication protocol on which the request was received. In some embodiments, when the digital credential information is of the second type, credentials are transmitted using a different communication channel and/or communication protocol than on which the request was received. Receiving a request for information from an external device via a first channel, and transmitting digital credential information to the external device via a second channel, provides enhanced security and can prevent unauthorized users from initiating sensitive operations and/or accessing sensitive information (e.g., by transmitting digital credential information via a more secure channel), such as by transmitting the digital credential information using a channel that is more secure, faster, and/or more stable.

As described below, method 1100 provides an intuitive way for managing digital credentials. The method reduces the cognitive burden on a user for managing digital credentials, thereby creating a more efficient human-machine interface. For battery-operated computing devices, enabling a user to manage digital credentials faster and more efficiently conserves power and increases the time between battery charges.
The computer system (e.g., 600) displays (1102), via the display generation component, a first user interface (e.g., 604) that includes one or more (e.g., one or multiple) representations of digital identification credentials (e.g., 606G) stored on the computer system including a representation of a first digital identification credential (e.g., 606G). In some embodiments, the first user interface includes one or more representations of digital credentials stored on the computer system, including one or more digital identification credentials and one or more other digital credentials (e.g., one or more payment credentials, one or more loyalty account credentials, and/or one or more transit account credentials). In some embodiments, the first user interface does not include representations of information transmission instances associated with (e.g., corresponding to) the first digital identification credential.
While displaying the first user interface (1104), the computer system (e.g., 600) detects (1106), via the one or more input devices, one or more user inputs (e.g., 1000) (e.g., one or more tap inputs and/or one or more non-tap inputs) corresponding to selection of (e.g., tap input on) the representation of the first digital identification credential.
In response to detecting the one or more user inputs corresponding to selection of the representation of the first digital identification credential (1108), the computer system (e.g., 600) displays (1110), via the display generation component, a second user interface (e.g., 1002) (e.g., a second user interface different from the first user interface) (e.g., replacing display of the first user interface with the second user interface) corresponding to (e.g., corresponding uniquely to) the first digital identification credential. The second user interface (e.g., 1002) includes representations of a plurality of information transmission instances (e.g., 1004B, 1004C, 1004D) associated with (e.g., corresponding to) the first digital identification credential, including a representation of a first transmission instance (e.g., 1004B) and a representation of a second transmission instance (e.g., 1004C) (1112). The first transmission instance corresponds to a first instance in which a first set of digital credential information (e.g., 1012D, 1012E in
While displaying the second user interface (e.g., 1002) (1118), the computer system (e.g., 600) detects (1120), via the one or more input devices, one or more selection inputs (e.g., 1004B, 1004C, 1004D) (e.g., one or more tap inputs and/or one or more non-tap inputs).
In response to detecting the one or more selection inputs (e.g., 1008A, 1008B, 1008C) (1122): in accordance with a determination that the one or more selection inputs correspond to selection of the representation of the first transmission instance (e.g., 1004B) (1124), the computer system (e.g., 600) displays (1126), via the display generation component, representations of the first set of digital credential information (e.g., 1012D, 1012E in
In some embodiments, the first set of digital credential information (e.g., 1012D, 1012E in
In some embodiments, displaying representations of the first set of digital credential information that was transmitted to the first external electronic device in the first instance includes: displaying, via the display generation component, a first indication that a first subset of (e.g., less than all of) the first set of digital credential information was transmitted to the first external electronic device but was not stored by the first external electronic device (e.g., 1012E) (e.g., was not stored by an entity associated with the first external electronic device, and/or was not stored in a non-transitory computer readable medium (e.g., was only stored temporarily in a transitory computer readable medium)); and displaying (e.g., concurrently displaying), via the display generation component, a second indication that a second subset of (e.g., less than all of) the first set of digital credential information was transmitted to the first external electronic device and was stored by the first external electronic device (e.g., 1012D) (e.g., was stored by an entity associated with the first external electronic device) (e.g., was stored in a non-transitory computer readable medium) (e.g., was stored in a computer-readable medium in a non-transitory manner such that the information can be accessed in the future by the entity associated with the first external electronic device). Storing a record of various transmission instances and types of information that was transmitted to an external electronic device in each of those transmission instances, including a record of what types of information was stored by the external electronic device and what types of information was not stored, provides enhanced security and can prevent unauthorized users from initiating sensitive operations and/or accessing sensitive information (e.g., by ensuring that private information has not been improperly transmitted to external devices and/or the external devices are not improperly storing private information).
In some embodiments, displaying representations of the second set of digital credential information that was transmitted to the second external electronic device in the second instance includes: displaying, via the display generation component, a third indication that a third subset of the second set of digital credential information was transmitted to the second external electronic device but was not stored by the second external electronic device (e.g., was not stored by an entity associated with the second external electronic device) (e.g., was not stored in a non-transitory computer readable medium (e.g., was only stored temporarily in a transitory computer readable medium)); and displaying (e.g., concurrently displaying), via the display generation component, a fourth indication that a fourth subset of the second set of digital credential information was transmitted to the second external electronic device and was stored by the second external electronic device (e.g., was stored by an entity associated with the second external electronic device) (e.g., was stored in a non-transitory computer readable medium) (e.g., was stored in a computer-readable medium in a non-transitory manner such that the information can be accessed in the future by the entity associated with the second external electronic device).
In some embodiments, in response to detecting the one or more selection inputs (e.g., 1008A, 1008B, 1008C): in accordance with a determination that the one or more selection inputs correspond to selection of the representation of the first transmission instance (e.g., 1004B), the computer system (e.g., 600) displays, via the display generation component, entity information (e.g., 1012A in
In some embodiments, in response to detecting the one or more selection inputs (e.g., 1008A, 1008B, 1008C): in accordance with a determination that the one or more selection inputs correspond to selection of the representation of the first transmission instance (e.g., 1004B), the computer system (e.g., 600) displays, via the display generation component, a first selectable option (e.g., 1012G in
In some embodiments, the second user interface (e.g., 1002) further includes a third selectable option (e.g., 1006B) that is selectable to display digital credential information corresponding to the first digital identification credential. In some embodiments, the third selectable option is displayed concurrently with the representation of the first transmission instance and the representation of the second transmission instance. In some embodiments, in response to detecting the one or more selection inputs (e.g., 1008D): in accordance with a determination that the one or more selection inputs (e.g., 1008D) correspond to selection of the third selectable option (e.g., 1006B), the computer system (e.g., 600) displays, via the display generation component, a fourth user interface (e.g., 1020) different from the first, second, and third user interfaces. In some embodiments, the fourth user interface displays digital credential information corresponding to the first digital identification credential. Displaying a fourth user interface in response to detecting the one or more selection inputs provides the user with feedback about the current state of the device (e.g., the device has detected the one or more selection inputs).
In some embodiments, the fourth user interface (e.g., 1020) displays digital credential information corresponding to the first digital identification credential. In some embodiments, digital credential information corresponding to the first digital identification credential includes one or more of: name, address, date of birth, identification photo, gender, height, identification issue date, identification expiration date, a geographic region associated with the digital identification credential, one or more commercial licenses associated with the digital identification credential, voter registration status, organ donor status, eye color, hair color, and veteran status. In some embodiments, the fourth user interface displays all digital credential information that can be provided to an external electronic device using the first digital identification credential. Displaying a fourth user interface that displays digital credential information corresponding to the first digital identification credential provides the user with feedback about the current state of the device (e.g., the device has associated the first digital identification credential with the information displayed in the fourth user interface).
In some embodiments, the computer system (e.g., 600) stores a plurality of biometric profiles (e.g., a plurality of facial scan profiles, fingerprint scan profiles, and/or periocular and/or eye scan profiles); and the first digital identification credential (e.g., 606G) is bound to a first biometric profile of the plurality of biometric profiles (e.g., bound exclusively to the first biometric profile, and/or is bound to the first biometric profile and is not bound to any of the other biometric profiles stored on the computer system). In some embodiments, transmission of digital credential information corresponding to the first digital identification credential requires biometric authentication based on the first biometric profile. Binding the digital identification credential to a biometric profile stored on the computer system provides enhanced security and can prevent unauthorized users from initiating sensitive operations and/or accessing sensitive data (e.g., by preventing an unauthorized user from utilizing the digital identification credential).
In some embodiments, subsequent to displaying the second user interface (e.g., 1002), the computer system (e.g., 600) displays, via the display generation component, a fifth user interface (e.g., 1020) corresponding to (e.g., corresponding uniquely to) the first digital identification credential (e.g., 606G). In accordance with a determination that the first biometric profile is a biometric profile of a first type (e.g., a fingerprint scan profile), the fifth user interface (e.g., 1020 in
In some embodiments, while displaying the fifth selectable option (e.g., 1022), the computer system (e.g., 600) detects, via the one or more input devices, a second set of selection inputs (e.g., 1024) (e.g., one or more tap inputs and/or one or more non-tap inputs) corresponding to selection of the fifth selection option. In response to detecting the second set of selection inputs, the computer system (e.g., 600) displays, via the display generation component, a sixth user interface (e.g., 1026) requesting the user to provide biometric information corresponding to the first biometric profile (e.g., requesting the user to provide a fingerprint corresponding to the fingerprint scan profile that is currently bound to the first digital identification credential). In some embodiments, subsequent to (e.g., while) displaying the sixth user interface (e.g., 1026), the computer system (e.g., 600) receives, via the one or more input devices, biometric information from a user (e.g., fingerprint input 1028). In response to receiving the biometric information from the user, and in accordance with a determination that the biometric information from the user corresponds to (e.g., matches) the first biometric profile, the computer system (e.g., 600) displays a seventh user interface (e.g., 1030) requesting the user to provide updated biometric information to be bound to the first digital identification credential. Subsequent to (e.g., while) displaying the seventh user interface (e.g., 1030), the computer system (e.g., 600) receives, via the one or more input devices, updated biometric information from the user. In response to receiving the updated biometric information from the user: in accordance with a determination that the updated biometric information corresponds to a second biometric profile stored on the computer system (e.g., 600) (e.g., different from the first biometric profile), the computer system (e.g., 600) binds the first digital identification credential to the second biometric profile; and in accordance with a determination that the updated biometric information corresponds to a third biometric profile stored on the computer system (e.g., different from the first and second biometric profiles), the computer system (e.g., 600) binds the first digital identification credential to the third biometric profile. In some embodiments, binding the first digital identification credential to a different biometric profile also causes the first digital identification credential to no longer be bound to the first biometric profile. Binding the digital identification credential to a biometric profile stored on the computer system provides enhanced security and can prevent unauthorized users from initiating sensitive operations and/or accessing sensitive data (e.g., by preventing an unauthorized user from utilizing the digital identification credential). Requiring that a user provide biometric information corresponding to a currently applied biometric profile prior to changing the biometric profile bound to the digital identification credential provides enhanced security and can prevent unauthorized users from initiating sensitive operations and/or accessing sensitive data (e.g., by preventing an unauthorized user from changing the biometric profile that is applied to the digital identification credential).
Note that details of the processes described above with respect to method 1100 (e.g.,
The foregoing description, for purpose of explanation, has been described with reference to specific embodiments. However, the illustrative discussions above are not intended to be exhaustive or to limit the invention to the precise forms disclosed. Many modifications and variations are possible in view of the above teachings. The embodiments were chosen and described in order to best explain the principles of the techniques and their practical applications. Others skilled in the art are thereby enabled to best utilize the techniques and various embodiments with various modifications as are suited to the particular use contemplated.
Although the disclosure and examples have been fully described with reference to the accompanying drawings, it is to be noted that various changes and modifications will become apparent to those skilled in the art. Such changes and modifications are to be understood as being included within the scope of the disclosure and examples as defined by the claims.
As described above, one aspect of the present technology is the gathering and use of data available from various sources to improve enrollment, use, and management of digital identification credentials. The present disclosure contemplates that in some instances, this gathered data may include personal information data that uniquely identifies or can be used to contact or locate a specific person. Such personal information data can include demographic data, location-based data, telephone numbers, email addresses, twitter IDs, home addresses, data or records relating to a user's health or level of fitness (e.g., vital signs measurements, medication information, exercise information), date of birth, or any other identifying or personal information.
The present disclosure recognizes that the use of such personal information data, in the present technology, can be used to the benefit of users. For example, the personal information data can be used to enroll, use, and/or manage digital identification credentials. Further, other uses for personal information data that benefit the user are also contemplated by the present disclosure. For instance, health and fitness data may be used to provide insights into a user's general wellness, or may be used as positive feedback to individuals using technology to pursue wellness goals.
The present disclosure contemplates that the entities responsible for the collection, analysis, disclosure, transfer, storage, or other use of such personal information data will comply with well-established privacy policies and/or privacy practices. In particular, such entities should implement and consistently use privacy policies and practices that are generally recognized as meeting or exceeding industry or governmental requirements for maintaining personal information data private and secure. Such policies should be easily accessible by users, and should be updated as the collection and/or use of data changes. Personal information from users should be collected for legitimate and reasonable uses of the entity and not shared or sold outside of those legitimate uses. Further, such collection/sharing should occur after receiving the informed consent of the users. Additionally, such entities should consider taking any needed steps for safeguarding and securing access to such personal information data and ensuring that others with access to the personal information data adhere to their privacy policies and procedures. Further, such entities can subject themselves to evaluation by third parties to certify their adherence to widely accepted privacy policies and practices. In addition, policies and practices should be adapted for the particular types of personal information data being collected and/or accessed and adapted to applicable laws and standards, including jurisdiction-specific considerations. For instance, in the US, collection of or access to certain health data may be governed by federal and/or state laws, such as the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA); whereas health data in other countries may be subject to other regulations and policies and should be handled accordingly. Hence different privacy practices should be maintained for different personal data types in each country.
Despite the foregoing, the present disclosure also contemplates embodiments in which users selectively block the use of, or access to, personal information data. That is, the present disclosure contemplates that hardware and/or software elements can be provided to prevent or block access to such personal information data. For example, in the case of digital identification credentials, the present technology can be configured to allow users to select to “opt in” or “opt out” of participation in the collection of personal information data during registration for services or anytime thereafter. In another example, users can select not to provide sensitive and/or personalized information during enrollment, use, and management of digital credentials. In addition to providing “opt in” and “opt out” options, the present disclosure contemplates providing notifications relating to the access or use of personal information. For instance, a user may be notified upon downloading an app that their personal information data will be accessed and then reminded again just before personal information data is accessed by the app.
Moreover, it is the intent of the present disclosure that personal information data should be managed and handled in a way to minimize risks of unintentional or unauthorized access or use. Risk can be minimized by limiting the collection of data and deleting data once it is no longer needed. In addition, and when applicable, including in certain health related applications, data de-identification can be used to protect a user's privacy. De-identification may be facilitated, when appropriate, by removing specific identifiers (e.g., date of birth, etc.), controlling the amount or specificity of data stored (e.g., collecting location data a city level rather than at an address level), controlling how data is stored (e.g., aggregating data across users), and/or other methods.
Therefore, although the present disclosure broadly covers use of personal information data to implement one or more various disclosed embodiments, the present disclosure also contemplates that the various embodiments can also be implemented without the need for accessing such personal information data. That is, the various embodiments of the present technology are not rendered inoperable due to the lack of all or a portion of such personal information data. For example, digital credentials can be enrolled and/or used by a user by inferring preferences based on non-personal information data or a bare minimum amount of personal information, such as the content being requested by the device associated with a user, other non-personal information available to the digital credential services, or publicly available information.
This application claims priority to U.S. Provisional Application Ser. No. 63/197,432, entitled “DIGITAL IDENTIFICATION CREDENTIAL USER INTERFACES,” filed Jun. 6, 2021, the entire contents of which are hereby incorporated by reference.
