The present disclosure relates generally to computer user interfaces, and more specifically to user interfaces for managing an account.
Electronic devices can be used to manage accounts provisioned on the electronic device. Various features of an account can be controlled, performed, or managed using an electronic device.
Some techniques for managing an account using electronic devices, however, are generally cumbersome and inefficient. For example, some existing techniques require the use of certain applications that may not be commonly used by a user of a device, which may unnecessarily cause the user to open a seldom-used application or navigate a seldom-used interface. For another example, some existing techniques provide limited options to easily and conveniently manage transfers. For another example, some existing techniques use a complex and time-consuming user interface, which may include multiple key presses or keystrokes. As such, 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 managing an account. Such methods and interfaces optionally complement or replace other methods for managing an account. 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. Such methods and interfaces also reduce the number of unnecessary, extraneous, or repetitive inputs required at computing devices, such as smartphones and smartwatches.

Thus, devices are provided with faster, more efficient methods and interfaces for managing a transfer account, thereby increasing the effectiveness, efficiency, and user satisfaction with such devices. Such methods and interfaces may complement or replace other methods for managing a transfer account.
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 managing a transfer account. For example, there is a need for electronic devices that provide a convenient and efficient method for activating a new transfer account. For another example, there is a need for electronic devices that provide easier management transfer activity of a transfer account. For another example there is a need for electronic devices that provide a convenient and efficient method for viewing and managing information, such as rewards information and past activity information, associated with using a transfer account. For another example, there is a need for electronic devices that provide a convenient and efficient method for selecting values for transfers using a transfer account. For another example, there is a need for electronic devices that provide visual feedback about the types of and amount of transfers made using a transfer account. Such techniques can reduce the cognitive burden on a user who manages and uses a transfer account using the electronic device, thereby enhancing productivity. Further, such techniques can reduce processor and battery power otherwise wasted on redundant user inputs.
Below,
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 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.

Audio circuitry 110 converts the electrical signal to audio data and transmits the audio data to peripherals interface 118 for processing. Audio data is, optionally, retrieved from and/or transmitted to memory 102 and/or RF circuitry 108 by peripherals interface 118. In some embodiments, audio circuitry 110 also includes a headset jack (e.g., 212,
I/O subsystem 106 couples input/output peripherals on device 100, such as touch screen 112 and other input control devices 116, to peripherals interface 118.

In some alternate embodiments, input controller(s) 160 are, optionally, coupled to any (or none) of the following: a keyboard, an infrared port, a USB port, and a pointer device such as a mouse. 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. 11/048,264, “Gestures For Touch Sensitive Input Devices,” filed Jan. 31, 2005; (5) U.S. patent application Ser. No. 11/038,590, “Mode-Based Graphical User Interfaces For Touch Sensitive Input Devices,” filed Jan. 18, 2005; (6) U.S. patent application Ser. No. 11/228,758, “Virtual Input Device Placement On A Touch Screen User Interface,” filed Sep. 16, 2005; (7) 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.
In some embodiments, a depth map (e.g., depth map image) contains information (e.g., values) that relates to the distance of objects in a scene from a viewpoint (e.g., a camera, an optical sensor, a depth camera sensor). In one embodiment of a depth map, each depth pixel defines the position in the viewpoint's Z-axis where its corresponding two-dimensional pixel is located. In some embodiments, a depth map is composed of pixels wherein each pixel is defined by a value (e.g., 0-255). For example, the “0” value represents pixels that are located at the most distant place in a “three dimensional” scene and the “255” value represents pixels that are located closest to a viewpoint (e.g., a camera, an optical sensor, a depth camera sensor) in the “three dimensional” scene. In other embodiments, a depth map represents the distance between an object in a scene and the plane of the viewpoint. In some embodiments, the depth map includes information about the relative depth of various features of an object of interest in view of the depth camera (e.g., the relative depth of eyes, nose, mouth, ears of a user's face). In some embodiments, the depth map includes information that enables the device to determine contours of the object of interest in a z direction.
Device 100 optionally also includes one or more contact intensity sensors 165.
Device 100 optionally also includes one or more proximity sensors 166.
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:

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, 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 900, 1200, 1500, 1800, 2100, 2400, 2700, and 3000 (
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., 0.5, 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.
In some embodiments, a portion of a gesture is identified for purposes of determining a characteristic intensity. For example, a touch-sensitive surface optionally receives a continuous swipe contact transitioning from a start location and reaching an end location, at which point the intensity of the contact increases. In this example, the characteristic intensity of the contact at the end location is, optionally, based on only a portion of the continuous swipe contact, and not the entire swipe contact (e.g., only the portion of the swipe contact at the end location). In some embodiments, a smoothing algorithm is, optionally, applied to the intensities of the swipe contact prior to determining the characteristic intensity of the contact. For example, the smoothing algorithm optionally includes one or more of: an unweighted sliding-average smoothing algorithm, a triangular smoothing algorithm, a median filter smoothing algorithm, and/or an exponential smoothing algorithm. In some circumstances, these smoothing algorithms eliminate narrow spikes or dips in the intensities of the swipe contact for purposes of determining a characteristic intensity.
The intensity of a contact on the touch-sensitive surface is, optionally, characterized relative to one or more intensity thresholds, such as a contact-detection intensity threshold, a light press intensity threshold, a deep press intensity threshold, and/or one or more other intensity thresholds. In some embodiments, the light press intensity threshold corresponds to an intensity at which the device will perform operations typically associated with clicking a button of a physical mouse or a trackpad. In some embodiments, the deep press intensity threshold corresponds to an intensity at which the device will perform operations that are different from operations typically associated with clicking a button of a physical mouse or a trackpad. In some embodiments, when a contact is detected with a characteristic intensity below the light press intensity threshold (e.g., and above a nominal contact-detection intensity threshold below which the contact is no longer detected), the device will move a focus selector in accordance with movement of the contact on the touch-sensitive surface without performing an operation associated with the light press intensity threshold or the deep press intensity threshold. Generally, unless otherwise stated, these intensity thresholds are consistent between different sets of user interface figures.
An increase of characteristic intensity of the contact from an intensity below the light press intensity threshold to an intensity between the light press intensity threshold and the deep press intensity threshold is sometimes referred to as a “light press” input. An increase of characteristic intensity of the contact from an intensity below the deep press intensity threshold to an intensity above the deep press intensity threshold is sometimes referred to as a “deep press” input. An increase of characteristic intensity of the contact from an intensity below the contact-detection intensity threshold to an intensity between the contact-detection intensity threshold and the light press intensity threshold is sometimes referred to as detecting the contact on the touch-surface. A decrease of characteristic intensity of the contact from an intensity above the contact-detection intensity threshold to an intensity below the contact-detection intensity threshold is sometimes referred to as detecting liftoff of the contact from the touch-surface. In some embodiments, the contact-detection intensity threshold is zero. In some embodiments, the contact-detection intensity threshold is greater than zero.
In some embodiments described herein, one or more operations are performed in response to detecting a gesture that includes a respective press input or in response to detecting the respective press input performed with a respective contact (or a plurality of contacts), where the respective press input is detected based at least in part on detecting an increase in intensity of the contact (or plurality of contacts) above a press-input intensity threshold. In some embodiments, the respective operation is performed in response to detecting the increase in intensity of the respective contact above the press-input intensity threshold (e.g., a “down stroke” of the respective press input). In some embodiments, the press input includes an increase in intensity of the respective contact above the press-input intensity threshold and a subsequent decrease in intensity of the contact below the press-input intensity threshold, and the respective operation is performed in response to detecting the subsequent decrease in intensity of the respective contact below the press-input threshold (e.g., an “up stroke” of the respective press input).
In some embodiments, the device employs intensity hysteresis to avoid accidental inputs sometimes termed “jitter,” where the device defines or selects a hysteresis intensity threshold with a predefined relationship to the press-input intensity threshold (e.g., the hysteresis intensity threshold is X intensity units lower than the press-input intensity threshold or the hysteresis intensity threshold is 75%, 90%, or some reasonable proportion of the press-input intensity threshold). Thus, in some embodiments, the press input includes an increase in intensity of the respective contact above the press-input intensity threshold and a subsequent decrease in intensity of the contact below the hysteresis intensity threshold that corresponds to the press-input intensity threshold, and the respective operation is performed in response to detecting the subsequent decrease in intensity of the respective contact below the hysteresis intensity threshold (e.g., an “up stroke” of the respective press input). Similarly, in some embodiments, the press input is detected only when the device detects an increase in intensity of the contact from an intensity at or below the hysteresis intensity threshold to an intensity at or above the press-input intensity threshold and, optionally, a subsequent decrease in intensity of the contact to an intensity at or below the hysteresis intensity, and the respective operation is performed in response to detecting the press input (e.g., the increase in intensity of the contact or the decrease in intensity of the contact, depending on the circumstances).
For ease of explanation, the descriptions of operations performed in response to a press input associated with a press-input intensity threshold or in response to a gesture including the press input are, optionally, triggered in response to detecting either: an increase in intensity of a contact above the press-input intensity threshold, an increase in intensity of a contact from an intensity below the hysteresis intensity threshold to an intensity above the press-input intensity threshold, a decrease in intensity of the contact below the press-input intensity threshold, and/or a decrease in intensity of the contact below the hysteresis intensity threshold corresponding to the press-input intensity threshold. Additionally, in examples where an operation is described as being performed in response to detecting a decrease in intensity of a contact below the press-input intensity threshold, the operation is, optionally, performed in response to detecting a decrease in intensity of the contact below a hysteresis intensity threshold corresponding to, and lower than, the press-input intensity threshold.
The electronic devices (e.g., devices 100, 300, and 500) are optionally configured to store payment account information associated with each of one or more payment accounts. Payment account information includes, for example, one or more of: a person's or company's name, a billing address, a login, a password, an account number, an expiration date, a security code, a telephone number, a bank associated with the payment account (e.g., an issuing bank), and a card network identifier. In some embodiments, payment account information includes include an image, such as a picture of a payment card (e.g., taken by the device and/or received at the device). In some embodiments, the electronic devices receive user input including at least some payment account information (e.g., receiving user-entered credit, debit, account, or gift card number and expiration date). In some embodiments, the electronic devices detect at least some payment account information from an image (e.g., of a payment card captured by a camera sensor of the device). In some embodiments, the electronic devices receive at least some payment account information from another device (e.g., another user device or a server). In some embodiments, the electronic device receives payment account information from a server associated with another service for which an account for a user or user device previously made a purchase or identified payment account data (e.g., an app for renting or selling audio and/or video files).
In some embodiments, a payment account is added to an electronic device (e.g., device 100, 300, and 500), such that payment account information is securely stored on the electronic device. In some embodiments, after a user initiates such process, the electronic device transmits information for the payment account to a transaction-coordination server, which then communicates with a server operated by a payment network for the account (e.g., a payment server) to ensure a validity of the information. The electronic device is optionally configured to receive a script from the server that allows the electronic device to program payment information for the account onto the secure element.
In some embodiments, communication among electronic devices 100, 300, and 500 facilitates transactions (e.g., generally or specific transactions). For example, a first electronic device (e.g., 100) can serve as a provisioning or managing device, and can send notifications of new or updated payment account data (e.g., information for a new account, updated information for an existing account, and/or an alert pertaining to an existing account) to a second electronic device (e.g., 500). In another example, a first electronic device (e.g., 100) can send data to a second election device, wherein the data reflects information about payment transactions facilitated at the first electronic device. The information optionally includes one or more of: a payment amount, an account used, a time of purchase, and whether a default account was changed. The second device (e.g., 500) optionally uses such information to update a default payment account (e.g., based on a learning algorithm or explicit user input).
Electronic devices (e.g., 100, 300, 500) are configured to communicate with each other over any of a variety of networks. For example, the devices communicate using a Bluetooth connection 608 (e.g., which includes a traditional Bluetooth connection or a Bluetooth Low Energy connection) or using a WiFi network 606. Communications among user devices are, optionally, conditioned to reduce the possibility of inappropriately sharing information across devices. For example, communications relating to payment information requires that the communicating devices be paired (e.g., be associated with each other via an explicit user interaction) or be associated with a same user account.
In some embodiments, an electronic device (e.g., 100, 300, 500) is used to communicate with a point-of-sale (POS) payment terminal 600, which is optionally NFC-enabled. The communication optionally occurs using a variety of communication channels and/or technologies. In some embodiments, electronic device (e.g., 100, 300, 500) communicates with payment terminal 600 using an NFC channel 610. In some embodiments, payment terminal 600 communicates with an electronic device (e.g., 100, 300, 500) using a peer-to-peer NFC mode. Electronic device (e.g., 100, 300, 500) is optionally configured transmit a signal to payment terminal 600 that includes payment information for a payment account (e.g., a default account or an account selected for the particular transaction).
In some embodiments, proceeding with a transaction includes transmitting a signal that includes payment information for an account, such as a payment account. In some embodiments, proceeding with the transaction includes reconfiguring the electronic device (e.g., 100, 300, 500) to respond as a contactless payment card, such as an NFC-enabled contactless payment card, and then transmitting credentials of the account via NFC, such as to payment terminal 600. In some embodiments, subsequent to transmitting credentials of the account via NFC, the electronic device reconfigures to not respond as a contactless payment card (e.g., requiring authorization before again reconfigured to respond as a contactless payment card via NFC).
In some embodiments, generation of and/or transmission of the signal is controlled by a secure element in the electronic device (e.g., 100, 300, 500). The secure element optionally requires a particular user input prior to releasing payment information. For example, the secure element optionally requires detection that the electronic device is being worn, detection of a button press, detection of entry of a passcode, detection of a touch, detection of one or more option selections (e.g., received while interacting with an application), detection of a fingerprint signature, detection of a voice or voice command, and or detection of a gesture or movement (e.g., rotation or acceleration). In some embodiments, if a communication channel (e.g., an NFC communication channel) with another device (e.g., payment terminal 600) is established within a defined time period from detection of the input, the secure element releases payment information to be transmitted to the other device (e.g., payment terminal 600). In some embodiments, the secure element is a hardware component that controls release of secure information. In some embodiments, the secure element is a software component that controls release of secure information.
In some embodiments, protocols related to transaction participation depend on, for example, device types. For example, a condition for generating and/or transmitting payment information can be different for a wearable device (e.g., device 500) and a phone (e.g., device 100). For example, a generation and/or transmission condition for a wearable device includes detecting that a button has been pressed (e.g., after a security verification), while a corresponding condition for a phone does not require button-depression and instead requires detection of particular interaction with an application. In some embodiments, a condition for transmitting and/or releasing payment information includes receiving particular input on each of multiple devices. For example, release of payment information optionally requires detection of a fingerprint and/or passcode at the device (e.g., device 100) and detection of a mechanical input (e.g., button press) on another device (e.g., device 500).
Payment terminal 600 optionally uses the payment information to generate a signal to transmit to a payment server 604 to determine whether the payment is authorized. Payment server 604 optionally includes any device or system configured to receive payment information associated with a payment account and to determine whether a proposed purchase is authorized. In some embodiments, payment server 604 includes a server of an issuing bank. Payment terminal 600 communicates with payment server 604 directly or indirectly via one or more other devices or systems (e.g., a server of an acquiring bank and/or a server of a card network).
Payment server 604 optionally uses at least some of the payment information to identify a user account from among a database of user accounts (e.g., 602). For example, each user account includes payment information. An account is, optionally, located by locating an account with particular payment information matching that from the POS communication. In some embodiments, a payment is denied when provided payment information is not consistent (e.g., an expiration date does not correspond to a credit, debit or gift card number) or when no account includes payment information matching that from the POS communication.
In some embodiments, data for the user account further identifies one or more restrictions (e.g., credit limits); current or previous balances; previous transaction dates, locations and/or amounts; account status (e.g., active or frozen), and/or authorization instructions. In some embodiments, the payment server (e.g., 604) uses such data to determine whether to authorize a payment. For example, a payment server denies a payment when a purchase amount added to a current balance would result in exceeding an account limit, when an account is frozen, when a previous transaction amount exceeds a threshold, or when a previous transaction count or frequency exceeds a threshold.
In some embodiments, payment server 604 responds to POS payment terminal 600 with an indication as to whether a proposed purchase is authorized or denied. In some embodiments, POS payment terminal 600 transmits a signal to the electronic device (e.g., 100, 300, 500) to identify the result. For example, POS payment terminal 600 sends a receipt to the electronic device (e.g., 100, 300, 500) when a purchase is authorized (e.g., via a transaction-coordination server that manages a transaction app on the user device). In some instances, POS payment terminal 600 presents an output (e.g., a visual or audio output) indicative of the result. Payment can be sent to a merchant as part of the authorization process or can be subsequently sent.
In some embodiments, the electronic device (e.g., 100, 300, 500) participates in a transaction that is completed without involvement of POS payment terminal 600. For example, upon detecting that a mechanical input has been received, a secure element in the electronic device (e.g., 100, 300, 500) releases payment information to allow an application on the electronic device to access the information (e.g., and to transmit the information to a server associated with the application).
In some embodiments, the electronic device (e.g., 100, 300, 500) is in a locked state or an unlocked state. In the locked state, the electronic device is powered on and operational but is prevented from performing a predefined set of operations in response to the user input. The predefined set of operations may include navigation between user interfaces, activation or deactivation of a predefined set of functions, and activation or deactivation of certain applications. The locked state may be used to prevent unintentional or unauthorized use of some functionality of the electronic device or activation or deactivation of some functions on the electronic device. In the unlocked state, the electronic device 100 is power on and operational and is not prevented from performing at least a portion of the predefined set of operations that cannot be performed while in the locked state.
When the device is in the locked state, the device is said to be locked. In some embodiments, the device in the locked state may respond to a limited set of user inputs, including input that corresponds to an attempt to transition the device to the unlocked state or input that corresponds to powering the device off.
In some embodiments, a secure element is a hardware component (e.g., a secure microcontroller chip) configured to securely store data or an algorithm. In some embodiments, the secure element provides (or releases) payment information (e.g., an account number and/or a transaction-specific dynamic security code). In some embodiments, the secure element provides (or releases) the payment information in response to the device receiving authorization, such as a user authentication (e.g., fingerprint authentication; passcode authentication; detecting double-press of a hardware button when the device is in an unlocked state, and optionally, while the device has been continuously on a user's wrist since the device was unlocked by providing authentication credentials to the device, where the continuous presence of the device on the user's wrist is determined by periodically checking that the device is in contact with the user's skin). For example, the device detects a fingerprint at a fingerprint sensor (e.g., a fingerprint sensor integrated into a button) of the device. The device determines whether the fingerprint is consistent with a registered fingerprint. In accordance with a determination that the fingerprint is consistent with the registered fingerprint, the secure element provides (or releases) payment information. In accordance with a determination that the fingerprint is not consistent with the registered fingerprint, the secure element forgoes providing (or releasing) payment information.
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.
Attention is now directed towards embodiments of user interfaces (“U”) and associated processes that are implemented on an electronic device, such as portable multifunction device 100, device 300, or device 500.
In some embodiments, offer user interface 702 includes a representation 704 (e.g., a graphical representation) of the user account (e.g., a computer storage account). In some embodiments, representation 704 of the user account includes a name of the account holder and one or more textual and/or graphical indications of the type of the user account (e.g., a computer storage account).
In some embodiments, offer user interface 702 includes an indication 706 of a predetermined use quota of the user account (e.g., a computer storage account). In some embodiments, the predetermined use quota corresponds to the predetermined amount of (e.g., cloud-based) computer storage resources that can be accessed and used to store and/or archive data using the user account (e.g., a computer storage account).
In some embodiments, offer user interface 702 includes an affordance 708 for accepting the offer to initiate the user account (e.g., a computer storage account). In some embodiments, in response to detecting a user activation (e.g., a tap input) of affordance 708, electronic device 100 initiates a process for activating the user account (e.g., a computer storage account) and provisioning the user account onto electronic device 100.

In some embodiments, in response to detecting user activation 813 of (e.g., a tap input on) affordance 852, electronic device 100 displays, on display 112, a request as to whether the user would like to proceed with identity verification using a government-issued ID, or would otherwise like to withdraw the application for the transfer account (and thus exit the application process). In some embodiments, in response to detecting a selection of (e.g., a tap input on) a continue affordance, the electronic device 100 proceeds with the application process for the transfer account (e.g., as shown in
In some embodiments, in
In some embodiments, in response to capturing the image of government-issued ID 856, electronic device 100 displays an image corresponding to government-issued ID 856. In some embodiments, electronic device 100 displays, on display 112, a continue affordance for proceeding with the verification process using the captured image and a retry affordance for re-capturing a new image of government-issued ID856.
In some embodiments, electronic device 100 requests, through fifth application user interface 854, captures for both the front and back sides of government-issued ID 856. In some embodiments, as described above, electronic device 100 provides the option to re-capture the front and back sides of the government-issued ID (e.g., until the user is satisfied with the captured images).
In some embodiments, in accordance with a determination that government-issued ID 856 (e.g., both the front and back sides of government-issued ID 856) is successfully captured by the camera of the device, electronic device 100 identifies (e.g., using an image and language processing module of the device) user information from government-issued ID 856 (e.g., using optical character recognition). In some embodiments, in response to identifying the required user information (e.g., name, address, date of birth) electronic device 100 automatically transmits the identified information to a remote server to complete the verification process. In some embodiments, electronic device 100 completes the verification process using the identified user information locally on the device (e.g., retrieving the user information from a contacts application or a locally stored database).
In some embodiments, electronic device 100 requests user approval (e.g., via activation of next affordance 862) prior to transmitting the image 860 of government-issued ID 856. In particular, in

In some embodiments, electronic device 100 also displays, in offer user interface 864, a graphical representation 870 of the approved transfer account (e.g., approved first-party credit account). In some embodiments, representation 870 of the transfer account (e.g., the first-party credit account; the points account) includes a first visual indication 872A (e.g., a logo) of the first-party manufacturer of the electronic device (e.g., and is also an issuing institution for the transfer account), a second visual indication 872B (e.g., a logo) of a party (e.g., an institution, a company) different from the first-party manufacturer that is also associated with the transfer account (e.g., the first-party credit account; the points account), and/or a third visual indication 872C of the name of the user of the electronic device. For example, if the transfer account is a first-party credit account (e.g., a first-party credit card account) issued by the manufacturer of the electronic device, first visual indication 872A corresponds to the logo of the manufacturer of the device and second visual indication 872B corresponds to the logo of a financial instruction that manages the method of payment of the account.
In some embodiments, electronic device 100 also displays, in user interface 864, an indication 866 of the terms of the offer for the transfer account (e.g., the first-party credit account; the points account). In some embodiments, the terms of the offer include an indication 868A of a limit (e.g., a credit limit, a spending limit) of the transfer account, an indication 868B of a rate (e.g., interest rate, APR) to be applied to an overdue balance of the transfer account, and/or an indication 868C of fees (e.g., annual fees) for using the transfer account.

In some embodiments, balance indicator user interface element 885 (e.g., the balance module) includes an indication of a current balance of the transfer account (e.g., the first-party credit account; the points account) accumulated as a result of transfers (e.g., payment transactions, points transfers) made using the transfer account, and/or a limit (e.g., a credit limit) set for the transfer account.
In some embodiments, activity user interface element 883 (e.g., the activity module) includes a bar graph depicting transfer activity (e.g., payment activity) of the transfer account (e.g., the first-party credit account; the points account) during a predetermined time period (e.g., the past week), with each bar corresponding to transfers (e.g., payment transactions, points transfers) made during a respective day of the predetermined time period, and different colors used to represent different types of transfers based on a category of each transfer. For example, in the bar graph depicting transfer activity, a first color is used to represent transfers (e.g., payment transactions, points transfers) of one type of category (e.g., shopping, groceries, dining, travel, education, entertainment), a second color is used to represent transfers of another type of category, a third color is used to represent transfers of yet another type of category, and so on. In some embodiments, electronic device 100 continuously or periodically updates the bar graph of activity user interface element 883 as new transfers (e.g., payment transactions, points transfers) are made using the transfer account (e.g., the first-party credit account; the points account).
In some embodiments, balance transfer user interface element 881 (e.g., the balance payment module) includes an indication (e.g., text) of when a next balance transfer (e.g., a balance payment) is due (e.g., the next statement due date) for the transfer account (e.g., the first-party credit account; the points account). In some embodiments, if a balance transfer is past due (e.g., at least a portion of a previous statement balance was not paid by the due date), balance transfer user interface element 881 includes an indication that a balance transfer is past due. In some embodiments, if a portion (but not all of) the next balance transfer has been made (e.g., a portion of, but not all of, the statement balance has been paid), balance transfer user interface element 881 includes an indication of an amount of the portion of the balance transfer that was made. In some embodiments, balance transfer user interface element 881 includes an indicator 881A indicating (e.g., with text such as “pay,” “pay early,” “pay more,” and/or symbols such as a checkmark, an exclamation mark) a status of a balance transfer (e.g., whether a balance payment is currently due, whether a balance payment is urgently due, whether a balance payment has been made). Features concerning balance transfer user interface element 881 are described in greater detail below with reference to
In some embodiments, electronic device 100 also displays, in summary user interface 887, a notification user interface element 879 (e.g., a notification module) that displays notifications or promotions concerning the transfer account (e.g., the first-party credit account; the points account) and an affordance 877 (e.g., stating “Get Help”) for seeking assistance (e.g., contacting customer service) with use of the transfer account.

As described below, method 900 provides an intuitive way for managing a transfer account. The method reduces the cognitive burden on a user for managing a transfer account, thereby creating a more efficient human-machine interface. For battery-operated computing devices, enabling a user to manage a transfer account faster and more efficiently conserves power and increases the time between battery charges.
The electronic device (e.g., 100) displays (910), on the display (e.g., 112), a user interface (e.g., 702, 864) including a first affordance (e.g., 708, 874) for activating a transfer account (e.g., an account used to transfer items of a first type, such as funds, credits, points; a payment account; a virtual card account; a virtual-only account that does not correspond to an existing account with a corresponding physical card).
In some embodiments, the first affordance (e.g., 708, 874) for activating the transfer account is displayed without displaying an identifier corresponding to the transfer account (e.g., because the transfer account has not yet been created). Displaying the affordance without displaying an identifier corresponding to the transfer account enhances security by not displaying the identifier corresponding to the transfer account unless it is requested by the user and/or is necessary to do so, thereby reducing the likelihood that an unauthorized person can view the identifier and gain access to the transfer account. Enhancing security features of the device enhances the operability of the device by making the device more secure, which in turn enables the user to use the device more efficiently and frequently.
In some embodiments, prior to displaying the user interface (e.g., 702, 864) including the first affordance (e.g., 708, 874) for activating the transfer account, the electronic device (e.g., 100) displays (902) a user interface (e.g., 832, 844) for entering user information, where at least a portion of the user information has been filled into the user interface based on previously stored information about a user of the device (e.g., such that the user of the device does not need to manually enter the user's information required to activate the transfer account). Filling out at least a portion of the user interface into the user interface based on previously stored information about the user of the device enables the user to proceed more quickly and easily through the activation process by reducing the number of inputs required and increasing the accuracy of the information (reducing likelihood of typographical errors). Reducing the number of inputs needed to perform an operation enhances the operability of the device and makes the user-device interface more efficient (e.g., by helping the user to provide proper inputs and reducing user mistakes when operating and/or interacting with the device) which, additionally, reduces power usage and improves battery life of the device by enabling the user to use the device more quickly and efficiently. In some embodiments, the user interface includes one or more affordances for editing, replacing, or entering different user information and/or adding additional user information.
In some embodiments, prior to displaying the user interface (e.g., 702, 864) including the first affordance (e.g., 708, 874) for activating the transfer account, the electronic device (e.g., 100) displays (904), on the display (e.g., 112), a request for identification verification (e.g., photo ID verification). In some embodiments, the electronic device (e.g., 100) detects (906), via a camera sensor of the electronic device, a physical object (e.g., 856) that serves as identification of the user (e.g., a photo ID, passport or other proof of identity). In some embodiments, the electronic device transmits (908) information (e.g., driver's license number and/or identifier, date of birth, and/or name), retrieved from the detected identification to an identity verification service and/or a service for generating the transfer account (e.g., for use in activating the transfer account). Using the physical object to verify the user enhances security by requiring that the user possess the physical object in order to complete the verification. Enhancing security features of the device enhances the operability of the device by making the device more secure, which in turn enables the user to use the device more efficiently and frequently.
While displaying the first affordance (e.g., 708, 874) for activating the transfer account, the electronic device (e.g., 100) detects (912), via the one or more input devices, user activation of the first affordance.
In response to detecting the user activation of the first affordance (e.g., 708, 874), the electronic device (e.g., 100) transmits (914) (e.g., to a remote server) a request to create the transfer account (e.g., where the request does not include information identifying the transfer account). In some embodiments, the transfer account is a new account that does not correspond to any existing account, such as any existing debit card or credit card account. In other words, in some embodiments, the transfer account is a newly-issued or newly-activated account.
Subsequent to (e.g., only momentarily after; in response to) transmitting the request, the electronic device (e.g., 100) receives (916) (e.g., from the remote server) a communication indicating that the transfer account is available for use (e.g., to make transfers using the electronic device, such as a transaction using funds or involving credit and/or points).
In response to receiving the communication indicating that the transfer account is available for use, the electronic device (e.g., 100) displays (918), on the display (e.g., 112), a second affordance (e.g., 878) for initiating a process for provisioning the electronic device with a secure credential associated with making transfers using the transfer account. Displaying the second affordance for initiating the process for provisioning the device with secure credential associated with making transfers using the transfer account in response to receiving the communication indicating that the transfer account is available for use enhances visual feedback by enabling the user to quickly and easily recognize that the transfer account is available for use. Providing improved visual feedback to the user enhances the operability of the device and makes the user-device interface more efficient (e.g., by helping the user to provide proper inputs and reducing user mistakes when operating and/or interacting with the device) which, additionally, reduces power usage and improves battery life of the device by enabling the user to use the device more quickly and efficiently. In some embodiments, the electronic device concurrently displays an indication that creation of the transfer account has been approved, and that selection of the affordance would cause the transfer account to be provisioned on the electronic device. In some embodiments, the secure credential is a credential that is stored in a secure element of the electronic device, where the secure element is not accessibly by a third-party application installed on the device. In some embodiments, a credential that is not secure is not stored in the secure element of the electronic device.
In some embodiments, in response to receiving the communication indicating that the transfer account is available for use, the electronic device (e.g., 100) displays (920) (e.g., concurrently with the second affordance (e.g., 878) for initiating the process for provisioning the electronic device with the secure credential associated with making transfers using the transfer account), on the display (e.g., 112), an indication that the transfer account is available for use (e.g., to make transfers using the electronic device, such as a transaction using funds or involving credit and/or points).
In some embodiments, while displaying the second affordance (e.g., 878) for initiating the process for provisioning the electronic device (e.g., 100) with the secure credential associated with making transfers using the transfer account, the electronic device detects (922), via the one or more input devices, user activation of the second affordance. In some embodiments, in response to detecting the user activation of the second affordance, the electronic device displays (924), on the display, a first selectable option (e.g., 882, 886) for setting the transfer account to be available for use (e.g., as one of the available payment accounts or as the default payment account) by one or more services (e.g., first-party-provided services) that are accessible using the electronic device. Displaying the first selectable option for setting the transfer account to be available for use by one or more services in response to detecting the user activation of the second affordance enables the user to quickly and easily set the transfer account to be used for the one or more services. Providing additional control of the device (e.g., without cluttering the UT with additional displayed controls) enhances the operability of the device and makes the user-device interface more efficient (e.g., by allowing the user to configure a certain setting at one time when provisioning the transfer account) which, additionally, reduces power usage and improves battery life of the device by enabling the user to use the device more quickly and efficiently.
In some embodiments, while displaying the first selectable option (e.g., 882, 886) for setting the transfer account to be available for use by the one or more services, the electronic device (e.g., 100) detects (926) a user selection of the first selectable option. In some embodiments, in response to detecting the user selection of the first selectable option, the electronic device displays (928), on the display (e.g., 112), a second selectable option that, when selected, sets the transfer account as a default account for use by the one or more services. Displaying the second selectable option for the transfer account as a default account for use by the one or more services in response to detecting the user selection of the first selectable option enables the user to quickly and easily set the transfer account as a default account for use by the one or more services. Providing additional control of the device (e.g., without cluttering the UI with additional displayed controls) enhances the operability of the device and makes the user-device interface more efficient (e.g., by allowing the user to easily configure the transfer account to be the default account) which, additionally, reduces power usage and improves battery life of the device by enabling the user to use the device more quickly and efficiently.
In some embodiments, while displaying the second affordance (e.g., 878) for initiating the process for provisioning the electronic device (e.g., 100) with a secure credential associated with making transfers using the transfer account, the electronic device detects (922), via the one or more input devices, user activation of the second affordance. In some embodiments, subsequent to (or in response to) detecting the user activation of the second affordance, the electronic device displays (930) (e.g., concurrently), on the display, an affordance (e.g., 897) for requesting (e.g., ordering) a physical account object that can be used as part of an authorization process for authorizing transfers from the transfer account (e.g., a physical card corresponding to the transfer account, as described in greater detail below with reference to
In some embodiments, the electronic device (e.g., 100) provisions (932) (e.g., in response to detecting the user activation of the second affordance) the electronic device with the secure credential. In some embodiments, subsequent to (or in response to) provisioning the electronic device with the secure credential, the electronic device displays (934), on the display (e.g., 112), an account summary user interface (e.g., 710, 887) corresponding to the transfer account (e.g., same as or similar to the user interface corresponding to the transfer account described below with reference to
In some embodiments, subsequent to (or in response to) provisioning (e.g., in response to detecting the user activation of the second affordance) the electronic device (e.g., 100) with the secure credential, the electronic device detects (936) a user input (e.g., 835) directed to enabling the transfer account for use in a transfer operation (e.g., an input on a first input device of the one or more input devices, a single or double press of the first input device, a press-and-hold of the input device, a touch input on a touch-sensitive surface of the electronic device). In some embodiments, in response to detecting the user input directed to proceeding with the transfer, in accordance with a determination (e.g., using biometric authentication, such as fingerprint authentication, facial recognition authentication, retina and/or iris scan authentication; using passcode or password authentication) that authentication criteria are satisfied, the electronic device enables (938) (e.g., arms) the transfer account for use in the transfer. In some embodiments, in response to detecting the user input directed to proceeding with the transfer, in accordance with a determination that the authentication criteria are not satisfied, the electronic device forgoes enabling the transfer account for use in the transfer. Enabling the transfer account for use in the transfer in accordance with a determination that authentication criteria are satisfied enhances security by requiring secure, user-specific information to authorize enabling the transfer account. Enhancing security features of the device enhances the operability of the device by making the device more secure, which in turn enables the user to use the device more efficiently and frequently.
In some embodiments, the transfer account is of a first type (e.g., configured for advanced historical analysis and/or tracking, a first-party issued (or branded) account type), and the electronic device (e.g., 100) is provisioned for use with a second transfer account (e.g., a bank account, a credit account) different from the transfer account, the second transfer account being of a second type (e.g., not configured for advanced historical analysis and/or tracking, not first-party issued (or branded) account type) different from the first type. In some embodiments, subsequent to (or in response to) provisioning (e.g., in response to detecting the user activation of the second affordance) the electronic device with the secure credential (940), in accordance with a determination that the transfer account is an initial account of the first type to be provisioned onto the electronic device (e.g., there are no other accounts of the first type that are or were provisioned on the device), the electronic device displays (942), on the display (e.g., 112), a tutorial (e.g., 888) for using the transfer account on the electronic device for transfers. In some embodiments, subsequent to (or in response to) provisioning (e.g., in response to detecting the user activation of the second affordance) the electronic device with the secure credential, in accordance with a determination that the transfer account is not the initial account of the first type to be provisioned onto the electronic device (e.g., there is at least one other account of the first type that is or was provisioned on the device), the electronic device forgoes displaying (942), on the display, the tutorial for using the transfer account on the electronic device for transfers. Displaying the tutorial in accordance with a determination that the transfer account is an initial account of the first type to be provisioned onto the electronic device and forgoing displaying the tutorial in accordance with a determination that the transfer account is not the initial account of the first type to be provisioned onto the electronic device improves usability of the device by providing information only when it is determined that the information may be helpful to the user of the device, thus making the user-device interface more efficient which, additionally, reduces power usage and improves battery life of the device by enabling the user to use the device more quickly and efficiently.
In some embodiments, prior to displaying the user interface including the first affordance for activating the transfer account, the electronic device (e.g., 100) detects, via the one or more input devices, one or more inputs directed to initiating a process for acquiring (e.g., purchasing, obtaining ownership of) an item (e.g., a second electronic device different from the electronic device). In some embodiments, in response to detecting the one or more inputs, in accordance with a determination that the process for acquiring the item has been initiated, the electronic device (e.g., 100) displays, on the display (e.g., 112), one or more activation user interfaces, where the one or more activation user interfaces include the user interface including the first affordance for activating the transfer account. Displaying the one or more activation user interfaces in response to detecting the one or more inputs directed to imitating the process for acquiring the item and in accordance with the determination that the process for acquiring the item has been initiated provides a user with quick and easy access to the process for activating the transfer account. Reducing the number of inputs needed to perform an operation enhances the operability of the device and makes the user-device interface more efficient (e.g., by helping the user to provide proper inputs and reducing user mistakes when operating/interacting with the device) which, additionally, reduces power usage and improves battery life of the device by enabling the user to use the device more quickly and efficiently.
In some embodiments, the electronic device (e.g., 100) provisions the electronic device with the secure credential. In some embodiments, subsequent to (or in response to) provisioning the electronic device with the secure credential, the electronic device (e.g., 100) displays, on the display (e.g., 112), an account summary user interface corresponding to the transfer account, where the account summary user interface includes a representation of a first transfer made using the transfer account, where the first transfer corresponds to a transfer made toward acquiring the item. Displaying a representation of the first transfer that corresponds to a transfer made toward acquiring the item subsequent to or in response to provisioning the electronic device with the secure credential enables a user to quickly and easily recognize that a transfer toward acquiring the item has been made using the transfer account. Providing improved feedback enhances the operability of the device and makes the user-device interface more efficient (e.g., by helping the user to provide proper inputs and reducing user mistakes when operating/interacting with the device) which, additionally, reduces power usage and improves battery life of the device by enabling the user to use the device more quickly and efficiently.
Note that details of the processes described above with respect to method 900 (e.g.,
As described below, method 901 provides an intuitive way for managing a user account. The method reduces the cognitive burden on a user for managing a user account, thereby creating a more efficient human-machine interface. For battery-operated computing devices, enabling a user to manage a user account faster and more efficiently conserves power and increases the time between battery charges.
The electronic device (e.g., 100) displays (903, 910), on the display (e.g., 112), a user interface (e.g., 702) including a first affordance (e.g., 708) for activating a user account.
While displaying the first affordance (e.g., 708) for activating the user account, the electronic device (e.g., 100) detects (905, 912), via the one or more input devices, user activation of the first affordance.
In response to detecting the user activation of the first affordance (e.g., 708), the electronic device (e.g., 100) transmits (907, 914) a request to create the user account.
Subsequent to transmitting the request, the electronic device (e.g., 100) receives (909, 916) a communication indicating that the user account is available for use.
In response to receiving the communication indicating that the user account is available for use, the electronic device (e.g., 100) displays (911, 918), on the display (e.g., 112), a second affordance for initiating a process for provisioning the electronic device with a secure credential associated with using the user account.
In some embodiments, the user account corresponds to a computer storage account. In some embodiments, using the user account includes requesting storage of data onto available computer storage resources (e.g., an available MB or GB amount of computer resources) associated with the computer storage account.
In some embodiments, the user account corresponds to a financial account. In some embodiments, using the user account includes making purchases based on financial resources (e.g., credit or money) associated with the financial account.
In some embodiments, the user account is a transfer account, and the technique described with respect to

In some embodiments, usage detail user interface 1002 includes a usage summary representation 1004 that includes an indication 1004A of the total amount of data that has been stored and/or archived on the user account (e.g., a computer storage account) during a predetermined time period (e.g., the past week). In some embodiments, usage summary representation 1004 includes an indication 1004B of a change in the total amount of data that has been stored and/or archived on the user account (e.g., a computer storage account) during the current time period (e.g., the current week) as compared to a previous time period (e.g., the previous week). In some embodiments, usage summary representation 1004 includes a bar graph 1004C corresponding to an enlarged view of the bar graph shown in past usage user interface element 714 of summary user interface 710.
In some embodiments, usage detail user interface 1002 includes a rewards user interface element 1008 that indicates an amount of additional bonus use quota (in this example, 10 MB) that has been rewarded to the user account (e.g., a computer storage account), such that the use quota of the user account is further increased by the bonus amount. In some embodiments, the bonus use quota is gained and accumulated based (e.g., a percentage of) the amount of data that is stored and/or archived on the user account (e.g., a computer storage account). Thus, in some embodiments, the user account (e.g., a computer storage account) gains additional bonus use quota if more data is stored and/or archived on the user account.
In some embodiments, usage detail user interface 1002 includes a data type items list 1010 that comprises a list of selectable items representing different types of data (e.g., data corresponding to photo files, data corresponding to document files, data corresponding to music files, data corresponding to video files, data corresponding to application files) that are stored and/or archived on the user account (e.g., a computer storage account). In some embodiments, a respective data type item of data type items list 1010 includes an indication of the total amount of data that is stored and/or archived on the user account (e.g., a computer storage account) for its respective type of data, and the number of instances in which the computer storage resources associated with the user account was accessed to store the respective type of data. In this example, data type items list 1010 includes a first data type item 1010A corresponding to a first type of data that is stored and/or archived on the user account (e.g., data corresponding to photo files), a second data type item 1010B corresponding to a second type of data that is stored and/or archived on the user account (e.g., data corresponding to music files), and a third data type item 1010C corresponding to a third type of data that is stored and/or archived on the user account (e.g., data corresponding to document files).
In some embodiments, while displaying usage detail user interface 1002, electronic device 100 displays, on display 112 (e.g., over a portion of usage detail user interface 1002, such as a bottom-edge portion of user interface 1002), a footer user interface 1014 (e.g., similar to footer user interface 1116 described below with reference to

In some embodiments, electronic device 100 also displays, in activity user interface 1102, a rewards user interface element 1108 that indicates an amount of usage rewards (e.g., a cash back amount) that is available for use (e.g., to reduce the balance of the transfer account), where the usage rewards are accumulated by using the transfer account (e.g., the first-party credit account; the points account) for transfers (e.g., payment transactions, points transfers). In some embodiments, the usage rewards are automatically added to a stored value account that is associated with the device (e.g., a stored value account that is available for use in payments using proximity based wireless payments or for in app payments), such as the stored value account described with respect to option 2202 that can be used to pay off the balance of the transfer account. In some embodiments, the usage rewards are automatically added to the stored value account for each transaction. In some embodiments, the usage rewards are automatically added to the stored value account on a predetermined schedule (e.g., daily, weekly, monthly or on some other predetermined schedule).
In some embodiments, electronic device also displays, in activity user interface 1102, a category items list 1110 corresponding to a list of selectable items representing different types of transfer categories (e.g., spending categories such as food and drinks, shopping, groceries, dining, travel, education, entertainment) related to the use of the transfer account (e.g., the first-party credit account; the points account). For example, in
In some embodiments, categories that are included in category items list 1110 correspond to categories for which corresponding transfers (e.g., corresponding payment transactions; corresponding points transfers) are being tracked by electronic device 100. In some embodiments, if a category is being tracked, transfers (e.g., payment transactions, points transfers) made using the transfer account (e.g., the first-party credit account; the points account) that are determined to be associated with, relate to, or correspond to the tracked category are included within the tracked category. In some embodiments, categories that are not being tracked are not included in category items list 1110.
In some embodiments, activity user interface 1102 includes a time period selection affordance 1198 (e.g., for changing between viewing different time periods, for example between a weekly summary and a monthly summary). In some embodiments, in response to detecting a selection of time period selection affordance 1198, electronic device 100 updates activity user interface 1102, and in particular activity summary representation 1104, to display activity information based on a different time period (e.g., monthly) than the previous time period (e.g., weekly).
In some embodiments, while displaying activity user interface 1102, electronic device 100 displays (e.g., over a portion of activity user interface 1102, such as a bottom-edge portion of user interface 1102), a footer user interface 1116 for initiating a balance transfer for the transfer account (e.g., the first-party credit account; the points account), where footer user interface 1116 includes an indication of a due date for a balance transfer (e.g., the statement balance due date), an indication of a current balance of the transfer account, and an affordance 1118 for initiating a balance transfer (e.g., a balance payment) for the transfer account. An example of performing a balance transfer for the transfer account is paying an amount of funds towards an outstanding balance of the account (e.g., including an outstanding statement balance) in order to reduce (e.g., either partially or fully) the outstanding balance of the account. Another example of performing a balance transfer for the transfer account is reimbursing points towards a transfer account that is a points account, where the reimbursed points reduces the amount of points that has been used on the points account, thereby increasing the amount of available points to be used.

That is, in some embodiments, if selection indicator 1150 is at a first terminus point (e.g., a minimum value point) of the defined path of selector user interface element 1146, the currently-selected balance transfer amount corresponds to a minimum balance transfer amount (e.g., the minimum balance payment amount that would avoid a penalty, such as a late fee). In some embodiments, if selection indicator 1150 is at a second terminus point (e.g., a maximum value point) of the defined path, the currently-selected balance transfer amount corresponds to a maximum selectable transfer amount (e.g., the full amount of the outstanding balance).
In some embodiments, points along the defined path between the two terminus points of selector user interface element 1146 correspond to balance transfer amounts that are dispersed along the defined path between the minimum balance transfer amount to the maximum selectable balance transfer amount. In some embodiments, the portion of the defined path from the first terminus point (e.g., the minimum value point corresponding to the minimum balance payment amount that would avoid a penalty) to the location of selection indicator 1150 along the defined path is displayed with a visual characteristic (e.g., a particular color or color hue, such as green), where the type of visual characteristic (e.g., the type of color or color hue) is determined based on the currently-selected balance transfer amount (e.g., the selected balance payment amount) and an amount of a penalty (e.g., interest) that may accrue based on the selected balance transfer amount.
In some embodiments, the defined path of selector user interface element 1146 further includes, along the defined path, a plurality of proposed amount indicators 1148A-1148E corresponding to proposed balance transfer amounts (e.g., proposed balance payment amounts). In some embodiments, the plurality of proposed amount indicators include a proposed amount indicator (e.g., proposed amount indicator 1148A) corresponding to an amount that is greater than the minimum balance transfer amount (e.g., and is the same as or greater than a previous balance transfer amount) but is still a relatively small amount. In some embodiments, the plurality of proposed amount indicators include another proposed amount indicator (e.g., a proposed amount indicator 1148D) corresponding to a balance transfer amount (e.g., the full statement amount) that would fully avoid a penalty (e.g., interest) for the respective balance transfer period (e.g., the respective statement period). In some embodiments, the plurality of proposed amount indicators include another proposed amount indicator (e.g., a proposed amount indicator 1148E) corresponding to an amount that is greater than the balance transfer amount that would fully avoid a penalty for the respective balance transfer period (e.g., greater than the full statement amount) but smaller than the maximum balance transfer amount (e.g., less than all of the current balance). In some embodiments, the plurality of proposed amount indicators include one or more additional proposed amount indicators (e.g., proposed amount indicators 1148B, 1148C) corresponding to balance transfer amounts (e.g., balance payment amounts) that are determined based on the full amount of the remaining balance of the transfer account, past balance transfer history (e.g., past balance payment history), and/or an afforded time period (e.g., 3 months 6 months) to be provided to fully reduce the remaining balance of the transfer account (e.g., to fully pay off the balance of the account).
In some embodiments, electronic device 100 also displays, in balance transfer user interface 1142, an indication 1152 of the current total balance of the transfer account (e.g., the first-party credit account; the points account), an indication 1154 of the currently-selected balance transfer amount based on the location of selection indicator 1150 on the defined path of selector user interface element 1146, an indication 1156 of a penalty (e.g., interest) that may be enforced (e.g., charged) on the transfer account based on the currently-selected balance transfer amount, and an information region 1158 describing an effect or result of making a balance transfer (e.g., a balance payment) based on the currently-selected balance transfer amount.
In some embodiments, electronic device 100 also displays, in balance transfer user interface 1142, a transfer later affordance 1160 for scheduling a further balance transfer (e.g., for setting a date and/or time for a future automatic balance payment), a transfer now affordance 1162 for initiating a process for an immediate balance transfer (e.g., for proceeding with an immediate balance payment), and a show keypad affordance 1164 for causing display of a keypad that can be used to manually enter a balance transfer amount (e.g., to manually enter a balance payment amount) without using selector user interface element 1146.

In some embodiments, the first graphical representation of the plurality of past transfers (e.g., 714, 883) corresponds to a bar graph arranged based on time (e.g., for a particular time period, such as a week, with a bar for each day of the week). In some embodiments, the bar graph includes a first color indicating a first type of transfer (e.g., a particular type of transfer category, such as shopping, groceries, travel, dining) of the plurality of past transfers. In some embodiments, the bar graph includes a second color different from the first color indicating a second type of transfer (e.g., a particular type of transfer category that is different from the category of the first type of transfer) of the plurality of past transfers. Displaying a bar graph as a representation of the plurality of past transfers enables a user to quickly and easily visualize the amount and/or types of transfers that were made using the transfer for the time period covered by the bar graph. Providing improved visual feedback to the user enhances the operability of the device and makes the user-device interface more efficient (e.g., by helping the user to provide proper inputs and reducing user mistakes when operating and/or interacting with the device) which, additionally, reduces power usage and improves battery life of the device by enabling the user to use the device more quickly and efficiently.
In some embodiments, in accordance with a determination that a first bar of the bar graph corresponding to a first time period (e.g., a first day of a week) includes a corresponding past transfer (e.g., because a transaction was made using the transfer account during the first time period), the first bar is displayed having a respective color of the respective past transfer. In some embodiments, in accordance with a determination that the first bar of the bar graph does not include a corresponding past transfer (e.g., because no transactions were made using the transfer account during the first time period), the first bar is displayed having a third color (e.g., a neutral color, such as white) that does not correspond to any type of transfer. Displaying portions of the bar graph with colors based on the type of a respective past transfer, and displaying portions of the bar graph with a color that does not correspond to any type of transfer if there were no past transfers in its respective time period enables a user to quickly and easily visualize the amount and/or types of transfers that were made using the transfer for the entire time period covered by the bar graph. Providing improved visual feedback to the user enhances the operability of the device and makes the user-device interface more efficient (e.g., by helping the user to provide proper inputs and reducing user mistakes when operating and/or interacting with the device) which, additionally, reduces power usage and improves battery life of the device by enabling the user to use the device more quickly and efficiently.
In some embodiments, the electronic device (e.g., 100) displays (1204), in the first user interface (e.g., 710, 887), an indication (e.g., in 712, in 885) of an available (e.g., unspent) transfer limit amount (e.g., remaining amount of credit) of the transfer account. In some embodiments, the indication of the available transfer limit amount is displayed in the first user interface element (e.g., 712, 885). In some embodiments, the indication of the available transfer limit amount is displayed in a third user interface element different from the first user interface element and the second user interface element. Displaying, in the first user interface the indication of the available transfer limit amount enables the user to quickly and easily view (e.g., without needing to navigate to a different user interface) the available amount (and thus plan accordingly). Reducing the number of inputs needed to perform an operation enhances the operability of the device and makes the user-device interface more efficient (e.g., by helping the user to provide proper inputs and reducing user mistakes when operating and/or interacting with the device) which, additionally, reduces power usage and improves battery life of the device by enabling the user to use the device more quickly and efficiently.
In some embodiments, while displaying the first user interface (e.g., 710, 887), in accordance with a determination that an interest is being accrued on the transfer account, the electronic device (e.g., 100) displays (1214), in the second user interface element (e.g., 716, 881), an alert indicating that the interest is being accrued on the transfer account. In some embodiments, the alert indicating that interest is being accrued includes an amount (e.g., an estimated amount) of interest being accrued. Displaying the alert indicating that the interest is being accrued on the transfer account acts to warn the user of the interest being accrued on the account, and thus allows the user to plan or act accordingly. Providing improved feedback enhances the operability of the device and makes the user-device interface more efficient (e.g., by helping the user to provide proper inputs and reducing user mistakes when operating and/or interacting with the device) which, additionally, reduces power usage and improves battery life of the device by enabling the user to use the device more quickly and efficiently.
In some embodiments, while displaying the first user interface (e.g., 710, 887), the electronic device (e.g., 100) displays (1216), in the first user interface, a list of (e.g., selectable) transfer items (e.g., 720, 875) corresponding to past transfers (e.g., one or more past payment transactions, one or more past points transfers) made using the transfer account, where the transfer items are arranged in chronological order based on a time of the corresponding past transfers. In some embodiments, the transfer item corresponding to the most recent past transfer (e.g., 873A) is displayed at the top of the list. Displaying, in the first user interface, the list of transfer items corresponding to past transfers made using the transfer account enables the user to quickly and easily view a summary of the past transfers made using the transfer account and thus be mindful of the transfer history. Providing improved feedback enhances the operability of the device and makes the user-device interface more efficient (e.g., by helping the user to provide proper inputs and reducing user mistakes when operating and/or interacting with the device) which, additionally, reduces power usage and improves battery life of the device by enabling the user to use the device more quickly and efficiently.
While displaying the first user interface (e.g., 710, 887), the electronic device (e.g., 100) detects (1206) a user input (e.g., 1105, 1113).
In response to detecting the user input (e.g., 1105) (1208), in accordance with a determination that the user input is directed to the first user interface element (e.g., 714, 883), the electronic device (e.g., 100) displays (1210), on the display (e.g., 112), a second user interface (e.g., 1006, 1102) that includes: a first group item (e.g., 1010A, 1112A) that includes information summarizing a plurality of past transfers of a first category (e.g., a particular spending category, such as food, groceries, entertainment, shopping, medical expenses, etc.), and a second group item (e.g., 1010B, 1112B) that includes information summarizing a plurality of past transfers of a second category that is different from the first category.
In some embodiments, the second user interface (e.g., 1002, 1102) further includes information indicating a remaining balance of the transfer account. In some embodiments, the second user interface further includes a second graphical representation (e.g., 1004, 1104) of the plurality of past transfers (e.g., corresponding to the graphical representation shown in the first user interface element) made using the transfer account, the second graphical representation corresponding to (e.g., an enlarged view of) the first graphical representation of the plurality of past transfers displayed in the first user interface element (e.g., 714, 883).
In some embodiments, while displaying the second user interface (e.g., 1002, 1102), the electronic device (e.g., 100) displays (1232), in a region on the display (e.g., 112) (e.g., in a region of the second user interface or overlapping the second user interface), an affordance (e.g., 1016, 1118) for proceeding with a transfer for reducing a remaining balance of the transfer account. In some embodiments, in response to detecting a user activation of the affordance for proceeding with the transfer for reducing a remaining balance of the transfer account, the electronic device displays (1234), on the display, a user interface (e.g., 1142) that includes a plurality of indicators (e.g., arranged along a circular, closed-loop user interface element) corresponding to proposed balance reduction amounts (e.g., same as or similar to the user interface described below with reference to
In response to detecting the user input (e.g., 1113) (1208), in accordance with a determination that the user input is directed to the second user interface element (e.g., 716, 881, 881A), the electronic device (e.g., 100) displays (1212), on the display (e.g., 112), a third user interface (e.g., 1142) that includes an option to reduce the balance of the transfer account (e.g., same as or similar to the user interface with a plurality of balance reduction amount proposals described below with reference to
In some embodiments, subsequent to (or in response to) detecting a transfer corresponding to a balance reduction of the transfer account (e.g., for the current statement period, for the current pay period), the electronic device (e.g., 100) displays (1236), in the second user interface element (e.g., 716, 881, 881A), an indication of a date (e.g., month and day) that the transfer corresponding to the balance reduction of the transfer account was made. Displaying the indication of the date that the transfer corresponding to the balance reduction of the transfer account was made reminders the user of a past balance transfer that has already been performed, thereby influencing the user's consideration of whether a new balance transfer should be performed. Providing improved feedback enhances the operability of the device and makes the user-device interface more efficient (e.g., by helping the user to provide proper inputs and reducing user mistakes when operating and/or interacting with the device) which, additionally, reduces power usage and improves battery life of the device by enabling the user to use the device more quickly and efficiently.
In some embodiments, subsequent to (or in response to) detecting a transfer corresponding to a balance reduction of the transfer account (e.g., for the current statement period, for the current pay period), in accordance with a determination that a balance is remaining on the transfer account (e.g., because the transfer was in an amount that was less than the full remaining balance), the electronic device (e.g., 100) displays (1238), in the second user interface element (e.g., 716, 881, 881A), an indication of an amount of the balance that is remaining on the transfer account. Displaying the indication of the amount of the balance that is remaining on the transfer account after detecting the transfer corresponding to a balance reduction of the transfer account enables the user to quickly and easily recognize that one or more additional balance transfers may be needed. Providing improved feedback enhances the operability of the device and makes the user-device interface more efficient (e.g., by helping the user to provide proper inputs and reducing user mistakes when operating and/or interacting with the device) which, additionally, reduces power usage and improves battery life of the device by enabling the user to use the device more quickly and efficiently.
In some embodiments, prior to detecting a transfer corresponding to a balance reduction of the transfer account (e.g., for the current statement period, for the current pay period), the electronic device (e.g., 100) displays (1240), in the second user interface element (e.g., 716, 881, 881A), an indication of a date corresponding to a balance reduction due date (e.g., the due date for the current statement balance) and an indication of an amount corresponding to a balance reduction amount that is due by the balancer reduction due date (e.g., the current statement amount). Displaying the indication of the date corresponding to a balance reduction due date (e.g., the due date for the current statement balance) and the indication of the amount corresponding to a balance reduction amount that is due by the balancer reduction due date enables the user to quickly and easily recognize and plan for a future balance transfer. Providing improved feedback enhances the operability of the device and makes the user-device interface more efficient (e.g., by helping the user to provide proper inputs and reducing user mistakes when operating and/or interacting with the device) which, additionally, reduces power usage and improves battery life of the device by enabling the user to use the device more quickly and efficiently.
In some embodiments, while displaying the first user interface (e.g., 710, 887), the electronic device (e.g., 100) displays (1218), in the first user interface, a third user interface element (e.g., 879; that shows notifications). In some embodiments, while displaying the third user interface element, the electronic device displays (1220), in the third user interface element, a notification (e.g., related to various information about the transfer account, such as promotions concerning the transfer account, rewards that have been accumulated using the transfer account, interest accruing on the transfer account, whether a physical card corresponding to the transfer account has been ordered and/or shipped) including information related to the transfer account, where the notification is periodically updated to display different types of information related to the transfer account. Displaying the notification including information related to the transfer account, where the notification is periodically updated to display different types of information related to the transfer account allows the user to view information that may be helpful in managing the use of the transfer account. Providing improved feedback enhances the operability of the device and makes the user-device interface more efficient (e.g., by helping the user to provide proper inputs and reducing user mistakes when operating and/or interacting with the device) which, additionally, reduces power usage and improves battery life of the device by enabling the user to use the device more quickly and efficiently.
In some embodiments, while displaying the third user interface element (e.g., 879), the electronic device (e.g., 100) displays (1222), in the third user interface element, instructions for initiating a process to order a physical account object (e.g., a physical card) corresponding to the transfer account that can be used as part of an authentication process (e.g., which optionally also requires a signature and/or a PIN number) to authorize transfers using the transfer account. In some embodiments, the physical account object is the same as or similar to the physical account object described below with reference to
In some embodiments, while displaying the first user interface (e.g., 710, 887), the electronic device (e.g., 100) detects (1224) a user activation of a search function. In some embodiments, the search function is activated by activating a search affordance (e.g., 871; that is shaped like a search or finder symbol). In some embodiments, in response to detecting the user activation of the search function, the electronic device displays (1226), on the display, a search bar (e.g., for entering one or more search terms). In some embodiments, while displaying the search bar (e.g., 1176), the electronic device receives (1228) a user input directed to the search bar that includes a past event (e.g., such as a past trip). In some embodiments, in response to receiving the user input directed to the search bar that includes the past event, the electronic device displays (1230), on the display, one or more categories (e.g., 1168A-1168E, 1170A-1170E, 1172A-1172E; shopping, dining, groceries, travel) of respective transfers, where the respective transfers correspond to (e.g., were made during the event, were made at a location of the event, and/or were made to access (fly to or from) the event) the past event.

As described below, method 1201 provides an intuitive way for managing a user account. The method reduces the cognitive burden on a user for managing a user account, thereby creating a more efficient human-machine interface. For battery-operated computing devices, enabling a user to manage a user account faster and more efficiently conserves power and increases the time between battery charges.
The electronic device (e.g., 100) displays (1202, 1203), on the display (e.g., 112), a first user interface (e.g., 710) corresponding to a user account associated with a use quota, where the first user interface includes a first user interface element that includes a first graphical representation (e.g., 714) of a plurality of past uses of the user account, and a second user interface element (e.g., 712) that includes information related to restoring at least a portion of the use quota of the user account.
While displaying the first user interface (e.g., 710), the electronic device (e.g., 100) detects (1206, 1205) a user input.
In response to detecting the user input (1208, 1207), in accordance with a determination that the user input is directed to the first user interface element (e.g., 714), the electronic device (e.g., 100) displays (1210, 1209), on the display (e.g., 112), a second user interface (e.g., 1002) that includes a first group item that includes information summarizing a plurality of past uses of the user account related to a first category. and a second group item that includes information summarizing a plurality of past uses of the user account related to a second category that is different from the first category.
In response to detecting the user input (1208, 1207), in accordance with a determination that the user input is directed to the second user interface element (e.g., 712), the electronic device (e.g., 100) displays (1212, 1211), on the display (e.g., 112), a third user interface that includes an option to restore the portion of the use quota of the user account.
In some embodiments, the user account corresponds to a computer storage account. In some embodiments, the use quota associated with the user account correspond to computer storage accessible via the computer storage account. In some embodiments, using the user account comprises storing data onto available computer storage (e.g., an available MB or GB amount of computer resources) of the computer storage account.
In some embodiments, restoring at least a portion of the use quota comprises deleting data stored onto a portion of the computer storage of the computer storage account.
In some embodiments, the user account corresponds to a credit account. In some embodiments, the use quota associated with the user account correspond to a credit limit for the credit account. In some embodiments, using the user account comprises making purchases using the credit account.
In some embodiments, restoring at least a portion of the use quota comprises paying at least a portion of the balance of the credit account.
In some embodiments, the user account is a transfer account, and the technique described with respect to
In some embodiments, first plurality of particles 704A correspond to and represent a first type of data (e.g., data corresponding to photo files) that are stored and/or archived in the user account (e.g., a computer storage account). In some embodiments, second plurality of particles 704B correspond to and represent a second type of data (e.g., data corresponding to document files) that are stored and/or archived in the user account (e.g., a computer storage account). In some embodiments, third plurality of particles 704C correspond to and represent a third type of data (e.g., data corresponding to video files) that are stored and/or archived in the user account (e.g., a computer storage account). In some embodiments, the number and/or size of each of the particle groups (e.g., 704A, 704B, 704C) are based on the amount of storage allocated to each of the respective corresponding data types. In some embodiments, the relative number and/or size of the particle groups (e.g., 704A, 704B, 704C) are based on the relative amounts of storage taken up by each of the data types. In some embodiments, the particle groups (e.g., 704A, 704B, 704C) dynamically move around within representation 704 in accordance with a tile of electronic device 100 (e.g., move towards a general direction within representation 704 that corresponds to a direction of the tilt of electronic device 100).
In some embodiments, further in response to detecting that the portion (in this example, 150 MB) of the data stored and/or archived in the user account (e.g., a computer storage account) has been deleted from the computer storage resources associated with the user account, electronic device 100 displays, in representation 704 of the user account, a movement of plurality of particles 704A-704C, where at least a portion of one or more of the particle groups 704A-704C move off of an edge of representation 704 (thereby graphically indicating that a portion of the data that was stored and/or archived in the user account has been deleted). In some embodiments, the type and amount of particles that move off of an edge of representation 704 is based on the type and amount of stored and/or archived data that has been deleted from the user account (e.g., a computer storage account). For example, if the portion of the data stored and/or archived in the user account (e.g., a computer storage account) that has been deleted all correspond to all of the first type of data (e.g., data corresponding to photo files), only plurality of particles 704A are moved off of representation 704A. For another example, if the portion of the data stored and/or archived in the user account (e.g., a computer storage account) that has been deleted corresponds to portions of the first type of data, the second type of data (e.g., data corresponding to document files), and the third type of data (e.g., data corresponding to video files), then corresponding portions of particles 704A-704C are moved off of representation 704.

In some embodiments, in response to displaying user interface 802 of the transfer application (e.g., the electronic wallet application), electronic device 100 displays, in representation 870 of the transfer account (e.g., the first-party credit account; the points account), a region (represented in some of the following figures as a first plurality of particles 1406A) having a first common visual characteristic (e.g., a common color; a common color hue), where first plurality of particles 1406A correspond to transfers (e.g., payment transactions; points transfers) of a first category (e.g., food and drinks, shopping, groceries, travel, education, entertainment) made using the transfer account, and for which the corresponding balance is still remaining on the transfer account (e.g., the corresponding balance has not yet been paid off) during a predetermined time period (e.g., the current week, the current month). While
In some embodiments, first plurality of particles 1406A dynamically move within representation 870 based on a movement (e.g., changes in tilt) of electronic device 100. For example, if the electronic device is tilted towards the left, first plurality of particles 1406A move within representation 870 in the corresponding left direction towards the left edge of representation 870. Similarly, if the electronic device is tilted towards the right, first plurality of particles 1406A move within representation 870 in the corresponding right direction towards the right edge of representation 870. In some embodiments, the particles of first plurality of particles 1406A generally move together in a coordinated manner (e.g., as a group, in the same general direction, within the same general region or so as to maintain a contiguous region of with the same color) within representation 870. In some embodiments, the speed of movement of first plurality of particles 1406A in accordance with movements of the electronic device is at least in part based on the degree of tilt of the device. That is, the more the electronic device is tilted (e.g., relative to the horizontal), the faster the plurality of particles are moved and/or dispersed within representation 870. In some embodiments, first plurality of particles 1406A move (e.g., by a small amount, in a back-and-forth movement in the same general region) within representation 870 even when no movement (or very slight movement) is detected on the electronic device.
In some embodiments, instead of first plurality of particles 1406A, transfers (e.g., payment transactions, points transfers) of the first category (e.g., food and drinks, shopping, groceries, travel, education, entertainment) made using the transfer account (e.g., the first-party credit account; the points account) are represented by one or more dynamic blobs having the first common visual characteristic (e.g., one or more blobs of color of the same hue). In some embodiments, other than differences in visual appearance, the one or more dynamic blobs behave similarly to the plurality of particles within representation 870. Characteristics of the one or more dynamic blobs are described in greater detail below with reference to

In some embodiments, if electronic device 100 detects or determines that there are transfers made using the transfer account (e.g., the first-party credit account; the points account) corresponding to categories other than the first, second, and third categories discussed above, the electronic device displays other types of particles with different visual characteristics (e.g., different colors, different color hues) in representation 870 corresponding to those other categories. In some embodiments, electronic device 100 sets a maximum number of particle types (of different colors or color hues) that can be displayed simultaneously on representation 870 of the transfer account (e.g., the first-party credit account; the points account). In some embodiments, if there is no transfer balance associated with the transfer account (e.g., the first-party credit account; the points account), electronic device 100 forgoes displaying any particles on representation 870 of the transfer account.
As also mentioned, in some embodiments, electronic device 100 displays particles being moved dynamically within representation 870 based on a detected movement (e.g., changes in tilt) of the electronic device. In some embodiments, electronic device 100 displays the particles being moved within representing 870 (e.g., by a small amount, in a back-and-forth movement in the same general region) even when no movement (or very slight movement) is detected by the electronic device.

In some embodiments, the movement of the particles comprises an outward circular expanding movement where the particles move off of (e.g., expand off of) the four edges of representation 870 in a circular, closed-loop pattern. In some embodiments, at least a portion of second plurality of particles 1406B that correspond to the second transfer category remain in a center region of representation 870 as other particles (e.g., all of first plurality of particles 1406A, all of third plurality of particles 1406C, and the remaining portion of second plurality of particles 1406B) expand out of representation 870. In some embodiments, all of the particles (including all of second plurality of particles 1406B) expand out of representation 870 and, as the particles are expanding out of representation 870, second plurality of particles 1406B gradually reappear at the center region of representation 870.
In some embodiments, in response to detecting a successful transfer, in accordance with a determination that the successful transfer (e.g., the successful payment transaction; the successful points transfer) using the transfer account (e.g., the first-party credit account; the points account) does not correspond to any (or cannot be determined to correspond to any) transfer category, electronic device 100 displays, animated over plurality of particles 1406A-1406C in representation 870 of the transfer account, a circular shape (e.g., a circular, closed-loop shape) having a neutral visual characteristic (e.g., white, grey, black, or a color that is different from the colors of the particles or regions that represent different transfer categories). In some embodiments, the circular shape having the neutral visual characteristic expands outward in representation 870 such that the shape moves off of the four edges of representation 870 in an expanding circular, closed-loop shape.

In the graphical representation (e.g., 704, 870) of the transfer account, transfers of the first type are represented by a first set of one or more regions having a first color range (e.g., 704A, 1406A, 1408A; a first type of range of color of the same or similar hue), where the first set of one or more regions (e.g., a contiguous region) has a first shape (1514). In some embodiments, the first shape of the first set of one or more regions is controlled by a predetermined physics model (e.g., a model defining a simulated mass, friction, inertia, viscosity, adhesion, cohesion, magnetic or electrostatic attraction, and/or other simulated physical properties of the particles as well as how inputs at the device such as tilting of the device or touching the device affect the particles as a simulated force exerted on the particles, such as the force of gravity). Representing transfers of the first type with the first set of one or more regions having the first color range, where the first set of one or more regions has the first shape enables the user viewing the representation of the transfer account to quickly and easily recognize that the first set of one or more regions correspond to transfers of the first type. Providing improved visual feedback to the user enhances the operability of the device and makes the user-device interface more efficient (e.g., by helping the user to provide proper inputs and reducing user mistakes when operating/interacting with the device) which, additionally, reduces power usage and improves battery life of the device by enabling the user to use the device more quickly and efficiently.
In the graphical representation (e.g., 704, 870) of the transfer account, transfers of the second type are represented by a second set of one or more regions having a second color range (e.g., 704A, 1406B, 1408B; a second type of range of color of the same or similar hue) that is different from the first color range, where the second set of one or more regions (e.g., a contiguous region) has a second shape that is different from the first shape (1516). In some embodiments, the second shape of the second set of one or more regions is controlled by a predetermined physics model (e.g., a model defining a simulated mass, friction, inertia, viscosity, adhesion, cohesion, magnetic or electrostatic attraction, and/or other simulated physical properties of the particles as well as how inputs at the device such as tilting of the device or touching the device affect the particles as a simulated force exerted on the particles, such as the force of gravity). Representing transfers of the second type with the second set of one or more regions having the second color range that is different from the first color range, where the second set of one or more regions has the second shape different from the first shape enables the user viewing the representation of the transfer account to quickly and easily recognize that the second set of one or more regions correspond to transfers of the second type and not to transfers of the first type. Providing improved visual feedback to the user enhances the operability of the device and makes the user-device interface more efficient (e.g., by helping the user to provide proper inputs and reducing user mistakes when operating and/or interacting with the device) which, additionally, reduces power usage and improves battery life of the device by enabling the user to use the device more quickly and efficiently.
In some embodiments, prior to displaying the graphical representation (e.g., 704, 870) of the transfer account, the electronic device (e.g., 100) detects (1502) (e.g., via an input device) an input directed to displaying a user interface (e.g., 710, 802, 887) corresponding to the transfer account. In some embodiments, in response to detecting the input directed to displaying the user interface corresponding to the transfer account, the electronic device displays (1504), on the display (e.g., 112), the graphical representation of the transfer account with an animated effect that indicates transfer activity that occurred within a respective time period (e.g., in the last day, since the card was last displayed). Displaying the graphical representation of the transfer account with an animated effect that indicates transfer activity that occurred within a respective time period in response to detecting the input directed to displaying the user interface corresponding to the transfer account brings attention to the representation of the transfer account, thereby reminding the user of the transfer activity that occurred within the respective time period. Providing improved visual feedback to the user enhances the operability of the device and makes the user-device interface more efficient (e.g., by helping the user to provide proper inputs and reducing user mistakes when operating and/or interacting with the device) which, additionally, reduces power usage and improves battery life of the device by enabling the user to use the device more quickly and efficiently.
In some embodiments, the electronic device (e.g., 100) displaying the graphical representation (e.g., 704, 870) of the transfer account with an animated effect that indicates transfer activity that occurred within a respective time period (1504) includes, in accordance with a determination that one or more transfers of the first type and one or more transfers of the second type occurred within the respective time period, the electronic device emphasizing (1506) (e.g., increasing the size of one color range relative to another/other color range(s); increasing the brightness of one color range relative to another and/or other color range(s); within at least a predetermined portion of the graphical representation of the transfer account, replacing all color ranges with one of the color ranges) the first color range relative to other color ranges on the graphical representation of the transfer account, followed by emphasizing the second color range relative to other color ranges on the graphical representation of the transfer account prior to displaying the first set of one or more regions with the first color range and the second set of one or more regions with the second color range. In some embodiments, the user interface (e.g., 710, 802, 887) includes three or more sets of regions (e.g., 704C, 1406C, 1408C) that exhibit behavior similar to the behavior of the first set of one or more regions and the second set of one or more regions, where the different sets of regions have different colors (or ranges of colors) corresponding to different categories of transactions. In some embodiments, after emphasizing the second range relative to the other color ranges, the electronic device further emphasizes a third color range that corresponds to a third set of one or more regions (e.g., 704C, 1406C, 1408C) on the graphical representation of the transfer account prior to displaying the first set of one or more regions (e.g., 704A, 1406A, 1408A) with the first color range, the second set of one or more regions (e.g., 704B, 1406B, 1408B) with the second color range, and the third set of one or more regions with the third color range. Emphasizing the different color ranges (e.g., in order) displayed in the representation of the transfer account reminds and emphasizes to the user of the types of categories of transfers that have been made using the transfer account. Providing improved visual feedback to the user enhances the operability of the device and makes the user-device interface more efficient (e.g., by helping the user to provide proper inputs and reducing user mistakes when operating and/or interacting with the device) which, additionally, reduces power usage and improves battery life of the device by enabling the user to use the device more quickly and efficiently.

In some embodiments, the user interface includes three or more sets of regions (e.g., 704C, 1406C, 1408C) that exhibit behavior similar to the behavior of the first set of one or more regions and the second set of one or more regions, where the different sets of regions have different colors (or ranges of colors) corresponding to different categories of transactions. In some embodiments, the electronic device emphasizes the first color range relative to the other color ranges on the graphical representation of the transfer account without emphasizing any of the other color ranges on the graphical representation that correspond to the second set or one or more regions or any of the three or more sets of regions prior to displaying the first set of one or more regions with the first color range, the second set of one or more regions with the second color range, and the three or more sets of regions with different color ranges that are different from the first color range and the second color range.
In some embodiments, the electronic device (e.g., 100) displaying the graphical representation (e.g., 704, 870) of the transfer account with an animated effect that indicates transfer activity that occurred within a respective time period (1504) includes, in accordance with a determination that one or more transfers of the second type occurred within the respective time period without and one or more transfers of the first type occurring within the respective time period, the electronic device emphasizing (1510) (e.g., increasing the size of one color range relative to another/other color range(s); increasing the brightness of one color range relative to another/other color range(s); within at least a predetermined portion of the graphical representation of the transfer account, replacing all color ranges with one of the color ranges) the second color range relative to other color ranges on the graphical representation of the transfer account without emphasizing the first color range relative to other color ranges on the graphical representation of the transfer account prior to displaying the first set of one or more regions (e.g., 704A, 1406A, 1408A) with the first color range and the second set of one or more regions (e.g., 704B, 1406B, 1408B) with the second color range. In some embodiments, the user interface includes three or more sets of regions (e.g., 704C, 1406C, 1408C) that exhibit behavior similar to the behavior of the first set of one or more regions and the second set of one or more regions, where the different sets of regions have different colors (or ranges of colors) corresponding to different categories of transactions. In some embodiments, the electronic device emphasizes the second color range relative to the other color ranges on the graphical representation of the transfer account without emphasizing any of the other color ranges on the graphical representation that correspond to the first set or one or more regions or any of the three or more sets of regions prior to displaying the first set of one or more regions with the first color range, the second set of one or more regions with the second color range, and the three or more sets of regions with different color ranges that are different from the first color range and the second color range.
In some embodiments (e.g., while displaying the graphical representation (e.g., 704, 870) of the transfer account), the electronic device (e.g., 100) detects a transfer (e.g., a near-field communication (NFC)-based transaction with a transaction terminal) of the first type made using the transaction account. In some embodiments, subsequent to (or in response to) detecting the transfer, the electronic device displays, on the display (e.g., 112), the graphical representation of the transfer account with an animated effect that indicates transfer activity that occurred within a respective time period (e.g., in the last day, since the card was last displayed), including emphasizing (e.g., increasing the size of one color range relative to another/other color range(s); increasing the brightness of one color range relative to another/other color range(s); within at least a predetermined portion of the graphical representation of the transfer account, replacing all color ranges with one of the color ranges) the first color range relative to other color ranges on the graphical representation of the transfer account without emphasizing the second color range relative to other color ranges on the graphical representation of the transfer account (e.g., emphasizing the first color range with a “splash” of the first color range but not of the other color ranges). Emphasizing the first color range relative to other color ranges on the graphical representation of the transfer account without emphasizing the second color range relative to other color ranges on the graphical representation of the transfer account subsequent to (or in response to) detecting the transfer enables the user to quickly and easily recognize that the transfer was of the first category corresponding to the first color range. Providing improved visual feedback to the user enhances the operability of the device and makes the user-device interface more efficient (e.g., by helping the user to provide proper inputs and reducing user mistakes when operating and/or interacting with the device) which, additionally, reduces power usage and improves battery life of the device by enabling the user to use the device more quickly and efficiently. Further, emphasizing the first color range relative to other color ranges on the graphical representation of the transfer account without emphasizing the second color range relative to other color ranges on the graphical representation of the transfer account subsequent to (or in response to) detecting the transfer improves security by enabling the user to quickly and easily confirm whether a correct transfer was made. Enhancing security features of the device enhances the operability of the device by making the device more secure, which in turn enables the user to use the device more efficiently and frequently.
In some embodiments, the electronic device (e.g., 100) displaying the graphical representation (e.g., 704, 870) of the transfer account includes the electronic device displaying the graphical representation of the transfer account with an animated effect that indicates transfer activity that occurred (e.g., within a respective time period (e.g., in the last day, since the card was last displayed)) on the transfer account. Displaying the graphical representation of the transfer account with an animated effect that indicates transfer activity that occurred on the transfer account reminds and emphasizes to the user that a transfer activity has occurred on the transfer account. Providing improved visual feedback to the user enhances the operability of the device and makes the user-device interface more efficient (e.g., by helping the user to provide proper inputs and reducing user mistakes when operating and/or interacting with the device) which, additionally, reduces power usage and improves battery life of the device by enabling the user to use the device more quickly and efficiently. Further, displaying the graphical representation of the transfer account with an animated effect that indicates transfer activity that occurred on the transfer account improves security by enabling the user to quickly react if the activity was not authorized by the user. Enhancing security features of the device enhances the operability of the device by making the device more secure, which in turn enables the user to use the device more efficiently and frequently.
In some embodiments, the electronic device (e.g., 100) displaying the graphical representation (e.g., 704, 870) of the transfer account with an animated effect that indicates transfer activity that occurred (e.g., within a respective time period (e.g., in the last day, since the card was last displayed)) on the transfer account includes, in accordance with a determination that one or more transfers of the first type and one or more transfers of the second type have occurred (e.g., within the respective time period), the electronic device emphasizing (e.g., increasing the size of one color range relative to another/other color range(s); increasing the brightness of one color range relative to another/other color range(s); within at least a predetermined portion of the graphical representation of the transfer account, replacing all color ranges with one of the color ranges) the first color range relative to other color ranges on the graphical representation of the transfer account, followed by emphasizing the second color range relative to other color ranges on the graphical representation of the transfer account.
In some embodiments, the electronic device (e.g., 100) displaying the graphical representation (e.g., 704, 870) of the transfer account with an animated effect that indicates transfer activity that occurred (e.g., within a respective time period (e.g., in the last day, since the card was last displayed)) on the transfer account includes, in accordance with a determination that the one or more transfers of the first type have occurred (e.g., within the respective time period) and the one or more transfers of the second type have not occurred (e.g., within the respective time period), the electronic device emphasizing (e.g., increasing the size of one color range relative to another/other color range(s); increasing the brightness of one color range relative to another/other color range(s); within at least a predetermined portion of the graphical representation of the transfer account, replacing all color ranges with one of the color ranges) the first color range relative to other color ranges on the graphical representation of the transfer account without emphasizing the second color range relative to other color ranges on the graphical representation of the transfer account.
In some embodiments, the electronic device (e.g., 100) displaying the graphical representation (e.g., 704, 870) of the transfer account with an animated effect that indicates transfer activity that occurred (e.g., within a respective time period (e.g., in the last day, since the card was last displayed)) on the transfer account includes, in accordance with a determination that the one or more transfers of the second type occurred (e.g., within the respective time period) and the one or more transfers of the first type have not occurred (e.g., within the respective time period), the electronic device emphasizing (e.g., increasing the size of one color range relative to another/other color range(s); increasing the brightness of one color range relative to another/other color range(s); within at least a predetermined portion of the graphical representation of the transfer account, replacing all color ranges with one of the color ranges) the second color range relative to other color ranges on the graphical representation of the transfer account without emphasizing the first color range relative to other color ranges on the graphical representation of the transfer account.
In some embodiments, the electronic device (e.g., 100) emphasizing the first color range relative to other color ranges on the graphical representation (e.g., 704, 870) of the transfer account, followed by emphasizing the second color range relative to other color ranges on the graphical representation of the transfer account further includes the electronic device emphasizing the first color range relative to other color ranges on the graphical representation of the transfer account, followed by de-emphasizing all of the color ranges, including the first color range, on the graphical representation of the transfer account (e.g., by removing display of all of the color ranges for a brief period of time; by replacing display of all of the color ranges with a neutral color (e.g., white) for a brief period of time; by displaying a flash of a neutral color (e.g., white) for a brief period of time), followed by emphasizing the second color range relative to other color ranges on the graphical representation of the transfer account.
In some embodiments, the electronic device (e.g., 100) displays (1518), on the display (e.g., 112), the graphical representation (e.g., 704, 870) of the transfer account, where the graphical representation of the transfer account further includes a (e.g., stationary, unmoving) graphical element. In some embodiments, while displaying the graphical element, the electronic device displays (1520), on the graphical element, a holographic effect (e.g., a dynamic 3D effect that changes on the graphical element based on a viewing angle of a user of the electronic device). In some embodiments, the electronic device displays the holographic effect in response to detecting the input (e.g., a tilting of the electronic device) directed to the graphical representation of the transfer account. In some embodiments, unlike the sets of regions, however, the position of the graphical elements displaying the holographic effect is not changed in response to detecting the input directed to the graphical representation of the transfer account. Displaying the holographic effect on the graphical element of the representation of the transfer account enables the user to quickly and easily recognize that the displayed representation corresponds to unique type of transfer account (e.g., a first-party transfer account that is issued by or branded by the manufacturer of the electronic device). Providing improved visual feedback to the user enhances the operability of the device and makes the user-device interface more efficient (e.g., by helping the user to provide proper inputs and reducing user mistakes when operating and/or interacting with the device) which, additionally, reduces power usage and improves battery life of the device by enabling the user to use the device more quickly and efficiently.
While displaying the graphical representation of the transfer account, the electronic device (e.g., 100) detects (1518) an input directed to the graphical representation (e.g., 704, 870) of the transfer account (e.g., an input causing a movement and/or change in orientation of the device while the device is displaying the graphical representation of the transfer account; an input on or selection of the graphical representation of the transfer account), where the input has an associated direction.
In response to detecting the input directed to the graphical representation of the transfer account (1520), the electronic device (e.g., 100) changes (1522) a shape and position of the first set of one or more regions based on the direction of the input (e.g., the direction of the input causing a movement and/or change in orientation of the device in a corresponding direction) from the first shape to a third shape that is different from the first shape and the second shape. In some embodiments, the change in shape from the first shape to the third shape comprises a distortion of the shape of at least a portion of the first set of one or more regions (e.g., based on a physics model adjusting a position of one or more particles that determine the shape of the first set of one or more regions). Changing the shape and position of the first set of one or more regions based on the direction of the input from the first shape to a third shape that is different from the first shape and the second shape attracts the user's attention, thereby reminding the user of the transfers of the type or category corresponding to the first set of one or more regions that have been made using the transfer account. Providing improved visual feedback to the user enhances the operability of the device and makes the user-device interface more efficient (e.g., by helping the user to provide proper inputs and reducing user mistakes when operating and/or interacting with the device) which, additionally, reduces power usage and improves battery life of the device by enabling the user to use the device more quickly and efficiently. Further, changing the shape and position of the first set of one or more regions based on the direction of the input from the first shape to a third shape that is different from the first shape and the second shape visually provides the user with information about the user's spending behavior (e.g., spending of funds, spending of points) while preserving the user's privacy by not revealing, in the graphical representation of the transfer account, specific details about the spending behavior (e.g., the timing or absolute magnitude of the spending activity, the identity of the corresponding transfer categories). Providing improved visual feedback to the user enhances the operability of the device and makes the user-device interface more efficient (e.g., by helping the user to provide proper inputs and reducing user mistakes when operating and/or interacting with the device) which, additionally, reduces power usage and improves battery life of the device by enabling the user to use the device more quickly and efficiently.
In response to detecting the input directed to the graphical representation of the transfer account (1520), the electronic device (e.g., 100) changes (1524) a shape and position of the second set of one or more regions based on the direction of the input from the second shape to a fourth shape that is different from the first shape, the second shape, and the third shape. In some embodiments, the change in shape from the second shape to the fourth shape comprises a distortion of the shape of at least a portion of the second set of one or more regions. In some embodiments, the color range (or hue) of the first set of one or more regions and the second set of one or more regions are maintained despite to detecting the input directed to the graphical representation of the transfer account. Changing the shape and position of the second set of one or more regions based on the direction of the input from the second shape to a fourth shape that is different from the first shape and the third shape attracts the user's attention, thereby reminding the user of the transfers of the type or category corresponding to the second set of one or more regions that have been made using the transfer account. Providing improved visual feedback to the user enhances the operability of the device and makes the user-device interface more efficient (e.g., by helping the user to provide proper inputs and reducing user mistakes when operating and/or interacting with the device) which, additionally, reduces power usage and improves battery life of the device by enabling the user to use the device more quickly and efficiently. Further, changing the shape and position of the second set of one or more regions based on the direction of the input from the second shape to a fourth shape that is different from the first shape and the third shape visually provides the user with information about the user's spending behavior (e.g., spending of funds, spending of points) while preserving the user's privacy by not revealing, in the graphical representation of the transfer account, specific details about the spending behavior (e.g., the timing or absolute magnitude of the spending activity, the identity of the corresponding transfer categories). Providing improved visual feedback to the user enhances the operability of the device and makes the user-device interface more efficient (e.g., by helping the user to provide proper inputs and reducing user mistakes when operating and/or interacting with the device) which, additionally, reduces power usage and improves battery life of the device by enabling the user to use the device more quickly and efficiently.
In some embodiments, the user interface (e.g., showing representation 704; showing representation 870) includes three or more sets of regions that exhibit behavior similar to the behavior of the first set of one or more regions (e.g., 704A, 1406A, 1408A) and the second set of one or more regions (e.g., 704B, 1406B, 1408B), where the different sets of regions have different colors (or ranges of colors) corresponding to different categories of transactions.
In some embodiments, after detecting the input directed to the graphical representation (e.g., 704, 870) of the transfer account (1526), while displaying the graphical representation of the transfer account, the electronic device (e.g., 100) detects (1528) a second input directed to the graphical representation of the transfer account (e.g., an input causing a movement and/or change in orientation of the device while the device is displaying the graphical representation of the transfer account; an input on or selection of the graphical representation of the transfer account), where the second input has an associated direction. In some embodiments, in response to detecting the second input directed to the graphical representation of the transfer account (1530), the electronic device changes (1532) the shape and position of the first set of one or more regions (e.g., 704A, 1406A, 1408A) based on the direction of the second input (e.g., the direction of the input causing a movement and/or change in orientation of the device in a corresponding direction) from the third shape to a fifth shape that is different from the first shape, the second shape, the third shape, and the fourth shape. In some embodiments, the change in shape from the third shape to the fifth shape comprises a distortion of the shape of at least a portion of the first set of one or more regions. In some embodiments, in response to detecting the second input directed to the graphical representation of the transfer account (1530), the electronic device changes (1534) the shape and position of the second set of one or more regions (e.g., 704B, 1406B, 1408B) based on the direction of the input from the fourth shape to a sixth shape that is different from the first shape, the second shape, the third shape, the fourth shape, and the fifth shape. In some embodiments, the change in shape from the fourth shape to the sixth shape comprises a distortion of the shape of at least a portion of the second set of one or more regions.
In some embodiments, changing the shape and position of the first set of one or more regions based on the direction of the input includes combining a first region and a second region of the first set of one or more regions (e.g., 704A, 1406A, 1408A) into a single region of the first set of one or more regions (e.g., such that the single region now acts as one region that moves in the same direction/amount, instead of as two separate, distinct regions) in response to the input.
In some embodiments, changing the shape and position of the first set of one or more regions based on the direction of the input includes splitting a first region of the first set of one or more regions (e.g., 704A, 1406A, 1408A) into a second region and a third region of the first set of one or more regions (e.g., such that the second region and the third region now act as two separate, distinct regions that can move in different directions/amounts) in response to the input.
In some embodiments, changing the shape and position of the first set of one or more regions (e.g., 704A, 1406A, 1408A) based on the direction of the input directed to the graphical representation of the transfer account and changing the shape and position of the second set of one or more regions based on the direction of the input directed to the graphical representation of the transfer account are based on a physics model (e.g., a physics model that simulates gravitational pull on the one or more regions).
In some embodiments, changing the shape and position of the first set of one or more regions (e.g., 704A, 1406A, 1408A) based on the direction of the input and changing the shape and position of the second set of one or more regions (e.g., 704A, 1406B, 1408B) based on the direction of the input includes moving the first set of one or more regions and the second set of one or more regions in a substantially similar direction within the graphical representation (e.g., 704, 870) of the transfer account. That is, in some embodiments, both the first set of one or more regions and the second set of one or more regions move around the graphical representation of the transfer account in substantially similar directions based on the direction of the input and/or changes in the direction of the input. In some embodiments, all the sets (first, second, third) of one or more regions within the graphical representation of the transfer account share an axis along which the majority of the movement of the sets occurs in response to the input, and the axis is (optionally) based on the direction associated with the input. In some embodiments, the user interface includes three or more sets of regions that exhibit behavior similar to the behavior of the first set of one or more regions and the second set of one or more regions, where the different sets of regions have different colors (or ranges of colors) corresponding to different categories of transactions. In some embodiments, the shape and position of each of the three or more sets of regions also change based on the direction of the input. In some embodiments, the three or more sets of regions also move in the substantially similar direction within the graphical representation of the transfer account as the first set of one or more regions and the second set of one or more regions.
In some embodiments, during a first time period, the first set of one or more regions (e.g., 704A, 1406A, 1408A) and the second set of one or more regions (e.g., 704B, 1406B, 1408B) at least partially overlap (e.g., at certain times or moments) within the graphical representation (e.g., 704, 870) of the transfer account. In some embodiments, the user interface includes three or more sets of regions that exhibit behavior similar to the behavior of the first set of one or more regions and the second set of one or more regions, where the different sets of regions have different colors (or ranges of colors) corresponding to different categories of transactions. In some embodiments, one or more of the three or more sets of regions also at least partially overlap with the first set of one or more regions and/or the second set of one or more regions.
In some embodiments, during a second time period, the first set of one or more regions (e.g., 704A, 1406A, 1408A) and the second set of one or more regions (e.g., 704B, 1406B, 1408B) do not overlap within the graphical representation (e.g., 704, 870) of the transfer account (e.g., such that there is always a boundary of a neutral color, such as white, between the two different regions). In some embodiments, the user interface (e.g., showing representation 704; showing representation 870) includes three or more sets of regions that exhibit behavior similar to the behavior of the first set of one or more regions and the second set of one or more regions, where the different sets of regions have different colors (or ranges of colors) corresponding to different categories of transactions. In some embodiments, each of the three or more sets of regions also do not overlap with the first set of one or more regions and the second set of one or more regions.
In some embodiments, a size of the first set of one or more regions (e.g., 704A, 1406A, 1408A) is at least partially based on a transfer amount corresponding to transfers of the first type (e.g., based on a total balance corresponding to transfers of the first type; based on a transfer quantity and/or number of transfers corresponding to transfers of the first type). Basing (at least partially) the size of the first set of one or more regions on the transfer amount corresponding to transfers of the first type enables the user to quickly and easily recognize the number and/or amount of transfers of the first type that have been made using the transfer account (e.g., for a certain period of time). Providing improved visual feedback to the user enhances the operability of the device and makes the user-device interface more efficient (e.g., by helping the user to provide proper inputs and reducing user mistakes when operating and/or interacting with the device) which, additionally, reduces power usage and improves battery life of the device by enabling the user to use the device more quickly and efficiently. Further, basing (at least partially) the size of the first set of one or more regions on the transfer amount corresponding to transfers of the first type visually provides the user with information about the user's spending behavior (e.g., the amount of funds spent, the amount of points spent) while preserving the user's privacy by not revealing, in the graphical representation of the transfer account, specific details about the spending behavior (e.g., the timing or absolute magnitude of the spending activity, the identity of the corresponding transfer categories). Providing improved visual feedback to the user enhances the operability of the device and makes the user-device interface more efficient (e.g., by helping the user to provide proper inputs and reducing user mistakes when operating and/or interacting with the device) which, additionally, reduces power usage and improves battery life of the device by enabling the user to use the device more quickly and efficiently.
In some embodiments, the transfers of the first type correspond to transfers of the first type during a certain time period (e.g., the current week, the current month, the current statement period). In some embodiments, the size of the second set of one or more regions (e.g., 704B, 1406B, 1408B) is at least partially based on a transfer amount corresponding to transfers of a second type different from the first type (e.g., based on a total balance corresponding to transfers of the second type; based on a transfer quantity and/or number of transfers corresponding to transfers of the second type). Basing (at least partially) the size of the second set of one or more regions on the transfer amount corresponding to transfers of the second type enables the user to quickly and easily recognize the number and/or amount of transfers of the second type that have been made using the transfer account (e.g., for a certain period of time). Providing improved visual feedback to the user enhances the operability of the device and makes the user-device interface more efficient (e.g., by helping the user to provide proper inputs and reducing user mistakes when operating and/or interacting with the device) which, additionally, reduces power usage and improves battery life of the device by enabling the user to use the device more quickly and efficiently. Further, basing (at least partially) the size of the second set of one or more regions on the transfer amount corresponding to transfers of the second type visually provides the user with information about the user's spending behavior (e.g., the amount of funds spent, the amount of points spent) while preserving the user's privacy by not revealing, in the graphical representation of the transfer account, specific details about the spending behavior (e.g., the timing or absolute magnitude of the spending activity, the identity of the corresponding transfer categories). Providing improved visual feedback to the user enhances the operability of the device and makes the user-device interface more efficient (e.g., by helping the user to provide proper inputs and reducing user mistakes when operating and/or interacting with the device) which, additionally, reduces power usage and improves battery life of the device by enabling the user to use the device more quickly and efficiently.
Thus, in some embodiments, if the transfer amount (e.g., total balance) corresponding to transfers of the second type is greater than the transfer amount corresponding to transfers of the first type, then the size of the second set of one or more regions is greater than the size of the first set of one or more regions (e.g., 704A, 1406A, 1408A). Conversely, in some embodiments, if the transfer amount (e.g., total balance) corresponding to transfers of the second type is smaller than the transfer amount corresponding to transfers of the first type, then the size of the second set of one or more regions is smaller than the size of the first set of one or more regions. In some embodiments, the user interface includes three or more sets of regions that exhibit behavior similar to the behavior of the first set of one or more regions and the second set of one or more regions, where the different sets of regions have different colors (or ranges of colors) corresponding to different categories of transactions. In some embodiments, the size of each of the three or more sets of regions are at least partially based on the transfer amount corresponding to transfers of respective different types that are different from the first type and from the second type.
In some embodiments, the electronic device (e.g., 100) displaying, on the display (e.g., 112), the graphical representation (e.g., 704, 870) of the transfer account comprises the electronic device (e.g., initially) removing display of the first set of one or more regions (e.g., 704A, 1406A, 1408A) and the second set of one or more regions (e.g., 704B, 1406B, 1408B) from the graphical representation of the transfer account, and subsequent to (e.g., a predefined amount of time after, a short period after; in response to) removing display of the first set of one or more regions and the second set of one or more regions in the graphical representation of the transfer account, the re-displaying the first set of one or more regions and the second set of one or more regions in the graphical representation of the transfer account, and displaying the third set of one or more regions (e.g., 704C, 1406C, 1408C) in the graphical representation of the transfer account.
In some embodiments, the electronic device (e.g., 100) detects (1542) that at least a portion of the plurality of transfers of the first type are no longer associated with (e.g., pending in) the transfer account (e.g., because at least some transactions of the first type that were made using the transfer account have been paid off). In some embodiments, subsequent to (or in response to) detecting that at least a portion of the plurality of transfers of the first type are no longer associated with (e.g., pending in) the transfer account (1544), the electronic device displays (1546), on the display, the graphical representation (e.g., 704, 870) of the transfer account with a reduced amount area occupied by the first set of one or more regions (e.g., 704A, 1406A, 1408A) from the graphical representation of the transfer account. Displaying the graphical representation of the transfer account with the reduced amount area occupied by the first set of one or more regions in response to detecting that at least a portion of the plurality of transfers of the first type are no longer associated with the transfer account allows the user to quickly and easily recognize that a previous balance transfer was successful, and recognize the remaining amount of balance on the transfer account. Providing improved visual feedback to the user enhances the operability of the device and makes the user-device interface more efficient (e.g., by helping the user to provide proper inputs and reducing user mistakes when operating and/or interacting with the device) which, additionally, reduces power usage and improves battery life of the device by enabling the user to use the device more quickly and efficiently.
In some embodiments, if all of the plurality of transfers of the first type are no longer associated with (e.g., pending in) the transfer account (e.g., because all of the transactions of the first type that were made using the transfer account have been paid off), the electronic device (e.g., 100) removes display of all of the first set of one or more regions (e.g., 704A, 1406A, 1408A) from the graphical representation (e.g., 704, 870) of the transfer account and does not display regions using the first color range. Removing display of all of the first set of one or more regions from the graphical representation of the transfer account if all of the plurality of transfers of the first type are no longer associated with the transfer account enables the user to quickly and easily recognize that a previous balance transfer was successful, and that the transfer account no longer includes a balance corresponding to transfers of the first type. Providing improved visual feedback to the user enhances the operability of the device and makes the user-device interface more efficient (e.g., by helping the user to provide proper inputs and reducing user mistakes when operating and/or interacting with the device) which, additionally, reduces power usage and improves battery life of the device by enabling the user to use the device more quickly and efficiently. In some embodiments, if at least a portion of the plurality of transfers of the second type are still associated with the transfer account, the electronic device maintains display of at least a portion of the second set of one or more regions within the graphical representation of the transfer account.
In some embodiments, the electronic device (e.g., 100) displaying, on the display (e.g., 112), the graphical representation (e.g., 704, 870) of the transfer account with a reduced amount area occupied by the first set of one or more regions (e.g., 704A, 1406A, 1408A) from the graphical representation of the transfer account includes the electronic device displaying an animation of a first region of the first set of one or more regions moving out of the graphical representation of the transfer account (e.g., no longer displayed) and, subsequently (e.g., a short period after), displaying an animation of a second region of the first set of one or more regions moving out of the graphical representation of the transfer account. In some embodiments, moving a particular region off of the graphical representation of the transfer account comprises growing, expanding, and/or dispersing the region (e.g., in a circular shape) out of the graphical representation of the transfer account.
In some embodiments, the electronic device (e.g., 100) detects (1536) a transfer of a third type different from the first type and the second type (e.g., where the transfer of the third type is an initial transfer of the third type, and there are no other transfers included in the current balance of the transfer account of the third type). In some embodiments, subsequent to (or in response to) detecting the transfer of the third type (1538), the electronic device displays (1540), on the display, the graphical representation (e.g., 704, 870) of the transfer account, where the graphical representation of the transfer account includes a third set of one or more regions (e.g., 704C, 1406C, 1408C) representing the transfer of the third type, where the third set of one or more regions has a third color range (e.g., a third type of range of color of the same or similar hue) that is different from the first color range and the second color range (e.g., the third color range does not overlap with the second or third color ranges) representing the transfer of the third type and a third shape (e.g., a contiguous region) that is different from the first shape and the second shape. In some embodiments, the first shape and/or the second shape are fluid (non-static, non-permanent) shapes that change (e.g., shift, transform) over time (e.g., to an extent that the core shape of outline (e.g., circular) is still maintained). Displaying, in the graphical representation of the transfer account, the third set of one or more regions representing the transfer of the third type, where the third set of one or more regions has a third color range that is different from the first color range and the second color range representing the transfer of the third type and a third shape that is different from the first shape and the second shape enables the user to quickly and easily recognize the types or categories of transfers that have been made using the transfer account. Providing improved visual feedback to the user enhances the operability of the device and makes the user-device interface more efficient (e.g., by helping the user to provide proper inputs and reducing user mistakes when operating and/or interacting with the device) which, additionally, reduces power usage and improves battery life of the device by enabling the user to use the device more quickly and efficiently. Further, displaying, in the graphical representation of the transfer account, the third set of one or more regions representing the transfer of the third type, where the third set of one or more regions has a third color range that is different from the first color range and the second color range representing the transfer of the third type and a third shape that is different from the first shape and the second shape visually provides the user with information about the user's spending behavior (e.g., spending of funds, spending of points) while preserving the user's privacy by not revealing, in the graphical representation of the transfer account, specific details about the spending behavior (e.g., the timing or absolute magnitude of the spending activity, the identity of the corresponding transfer categories). Providing improved visual feedback to the user enhances the operability of the device and makes the user-device interface more efficient (e.g., by helping the user to provide proper inputs and reducing user mistakes when operating and/or interacting with the device) which, additionally, reduces power usage and improves battery life of the device by enabling the user to use the device more quickly and efficiently.
In some embodiments, the transfer account is further associated with a plurality of transfers of a third type (e.g., transfers of a third particular type of category). In some embodiments, in the graphical representation (e.g., 704, 870) of the transfer account, transfers of the third type are represented by a third set of one or more regions (e.g., 704C, 1406C, 1408C) having a third color range that is different from the first color range and the second color range, where the third set of one or more regions has a third shape that is different from the first shape and the second shape. In some embodiments, the third set of one or more regions exhibit behavior similar to the behavior of the first set of one or more regions and the second set of one or more regions (e.g., as described above). In some embodiments, the user interface includes four or more sets of regions that exhibit behavior similar to the behavior of the first set of one or more regions and the second set of one or more regions described in detail above, where the different sets of regions have different colors (or ranges of colors) corresponding to different categories of transactions. Displaying the third set of one or more regions in addition to the first set of one or more regions and the second set of one or more regions in the graphical representation of the transfer account provides the user with more visual and/or animated information about transfer activity on the transfer account. Providing improved visual feedback to the user enhances the operability of the device and makes the user-device interface more efficient (e.g., by helping the user to provide proper inputs and reducing user mistakes when operating and/or interacting with the device) which, additionally, reduces power usage and improves battery life of the device by enabling the user to use the device more quickly and efficiently. Further, displaying the third set of one or more regions in addition to the first set of one or more regions and the second set of one or more regions in the graphical representation of the transfer account visually provides the user with information about the user's spending behavior (e.g., spending of funds, spending of points) while preserving the user's privacy by not revealing, in the graphical representation of the transfer account, specific details about the spending behavior (e.g., the timing or absolute magnitude of the spending activity, the identity of the corresponding transfer categories). Providing improved visual feedback to the user enhances the operability of the device and makes the user-device interface more efficient (e.g., by helping the user to provide proper inputs and reducing user mistakes when operating and/or interacting with the device) which, additionally, reduces power usage and improves battery life of the device by enabling the user to use the device more quickly and efficiently.
Note that details of the processes described above with respect to method 1500 (e.g.,
As described below, method 1501 provides an intuitive way for managing a user account. The method reduces the cognitive burden on a user for managing a user account, thereby creating a more efficient human-machine interface. For battery-operated computing devices, enabling a user to manage a user account faster and more efficiently conserves power and increases the time between battery charges.
The electronic device (e.g., 100) displays (1512, 1503), on the display (e.g., 112), a graphical representation (e.g., 704) of a user account that is associated with an activity of a first type and an activity of a second type. In the graphical representation (e.g., 704) of the user account, the activity of the first type is represented by a first set of one or more regions (e.g., 704A) having a first color range, where the first set of one or more regions has a first shape (1514, 1505). In the graphical representation (e.g., 704) of the user account, the activity of the second type is represented by a second set of one or more regions (e.g., 704B) having a second color range that is different from the first color range, where the second set of one or more regions has a second shape that is different from the first shape (1516, 1507).
While displaying the graphical representation (e.g., 704) of the user account, the electronic device (e.g., 100) detects (1518, 1509) an input directed to the graphical representation of the user account, where the input has an associated direction.
In response to detecting the input directed to the graphical representation (e.g., 704) of the user account (1520, 1511), the electronic device (e.g., 100) changes (1522, 1513) a shape and position of the first set of one or more regions (e.g., 704A) based on the direction of the input from the first shape to a third shape that is different from the first shape and the second shape.
In response to detecting the input directed to the graphical representation (e.g., 704) of the user account (1520, 1511), the electronic device (e.g., 100) changes (1524, 1515) a shape and position of the second set of one or more regions (e.g., 704B) based on the direction of the input from the second shape to a fourth shape that is different from the first shape, the second shape, and the third shape.
In some embodiments, the user account corresponds to a computer storage account. In some embodiments, using the user account includes requesting storage of data onto available computer storage resources (e.g., an available MB or GB amount of computer resources) associated with the computer storage account.
In some embodiments, the activity of the first type corresponds to using the computer storage account to request storage of a first type of data (e.g., media-related data) onto the available computer storage resources associated with the computer storage account. In some embodiments, the activity of the second type corresponds to using the computer storage account to request storage of a second type of data (e.g., documents-related data) onto the available computer storage resources associated with the computer storage account.
In some embodiments, the user account corresponds to a financial account. In some embodiments, using the user account includes making purchases based on financial resources (e.g., credit or money) associated with the financial account.
In some embodiments, the activity of the first type corresponds to using the financial account to make a first type of purchase (e.g., a purchase of a particular category, such as travel) based on the financial resources associated with the financial account. In some embodiments, the activity of the second type corresponds to using the financial account to make a second type of purchase (e.g., a purchase of a different category, such as groceries) based on the financial resources associated with the financial account.
In some embodiments, the user account is a transfer account, and the technique described with respect to
In some embodiments, data type summary user interface 1602 includes a representation 1604 of a most recent usage of the user account (e.g., a computer storage account) where data of the first type (e.g., archived media data) was archived on the computer storage resources associated with the user account. In some embodiments, representation 1604 of the most recent usage includes an indication of the location of electronic device 100 (e.g., including a map representation of the location) when, most recently, data of the first type (e.g., archived media data) was archived on the computer storage resources associated with the user account (e.g., a computer storage account) (in this example, Cupertino, Calif.). In some embodiments, representation 1604 of the most recent usage includes an indication of the amount of the data of the first type (e.g., archived media data) that was most recently archived on the computer storage resources associated with the user account (e.g., a computer storage account) (in this example, 25 MB). In some embodiments, representation 1604 of the most recent usage includes an indication of a bonus amount of use quota that was gained as a result of the most recent archive of the first type of data (in this example, 2% of 25 MB).
In some embodiments, data type summary user interface 1602 includes an indication 1606 of the total amount of data corresponding to the data of the first type (e.g., archived media data) that was archived in the user account (e.g., a computer storage account) during a previous predetermined time period (in this example, during the last month). In some embodiments, data type summary user interface 1602 includes an indication 1608 of the total amount of data corresponding to the data of the first type (e.g., archived media data) that was archived in the user account (e.g., a computer storage account) during a current time period (in this example, during the current month of January). In some examples, data type summary user interface 1602 includes a past usage items list 1610 that includes one or more past usage items corresponding to previous instances of data of the first type (e.g., archived media data) being archived in the user account (e.g., a computer storage account).
In
In some embodiments, first notification 1622 includes an indication of its respective data category (e.g., archived media data) and the amount of data of its respective data category that was archived on the user account for the respective instance of the data being archived on the user account (in this example, 25 MB). In some embodiments, because its respective data category (in this example, archived media data) is being tracked, first notification 1622 also includes an indication 1622A of a total amount of data of its respective data category (e.g., archived media data) that has been archived on the user account during the current time period (e.g., the current month) (in this example, 120 MB of media data has been archived in the user account during the current month), and indication of a use quota for the respective data category for a predetermined time period (e.g., during every month) (in this example, a use quota of 500 MB of archived media data per month). In some embodiments, third notification 1626 includes an indication of its respective data category (e.g., photo data) and the amount of data of its respective data category that was archived on the user account for the respective instance of the data being archived on the user account (in this example, 75 MB). In some embodiments, because its respective data category (in this example, photo data) is not being tracked, third notification 1626 does not include an indication of a total amount of data of its respective data category that has been archived on the user account during the current time period, and also does not include an indication of a use quota for the respective data category for a predetermined time period.
In some embodiments, place summary user interface 1702 includes a most recent transfer user interface element 1708 that includes information about a most recent transfer made at the place (e.g., the most recent payment transaction made the merchant, the store, or the location). As mentioned, in some embodiments, the transfer account is a first-party credit account (e.g., a revolving credit account that is issued or branded by the manufacturer of the electronic device), and provides rewards (e.g., cash back rewards) based on the amount of transfers (e.g., payment transactions, points transfers) made using the transfer account (e.g., cash back rewards that are based on a certain percentage of the value of each transition). As also mentioned, in some embodiments, the transfer account is a points account (e.g., for meal points, for printer credits, for membership points) that provides rewards (e.g., points rewards) based on the amount of points used using the transfer account.
In some embodiments, most recent transfer user interface element 1708 includes an indication 1710A of the date and/or time of the most recent transfer, an indication 1710B of a location (e.g., city and state/province) of the most recent transaction, an indication 1710C of the amount of the most recent transfer (e.g., the payment amount), an indication 1710D of an earned rewards amount (e.g., cash back amount) from the most recent transfer, an map representation 1710E showing a map view of the location of the place in which the most recent transfer was made (e.g., the location of the merchant's store in which the payment transaction was made), and an affordance 1710F for reporting an issue regarding the most recent transfer (e.g., for disputing the transaction; for disputing an amount of the transaction).
In some embodiments, place summary user interface 1702 further includes an indication 1712 of a total amount of transfers (e.g., total amount spent) at the corresponding place (e.g., a merchant, a store) during a predetermined time period (e.g., the past week; the past month). In some embodiments, place summary user interface 1702 further includes an indication 1714 of an amount of rewards earned in the predetermined time period (e.g., the past week; the past month) for transfers made in connection with the corresponding place (e.g., a merchant, a store).
In some embodiments, place summary user interface 1702 further includes a past transfer items list 1716 that includes a plurality of items (e.g., items 1718A-1718B) corresponding to previous transfers (e.g., previous payment transactions; previous points transfers) made at the corresponding place (e.g., a merchant, a store) using the transfer account (e.g., the first-party credit account; the points account). In some embodiments, an item in past transfer items list 1716 includes an indication of a date and/or time of the respective transfer (e.g., the respective payment transaction; the respective points transfer), an indication of a location (e.g. city and state/province) of the respective transfer, an indication of the amount of the respective transfer (e.g., the payment amount of the respective payment transaction, the points amount of the respective points transfer), and an indication of the amount of rewards earned (e.g., cash back rewards earned) for the respective transfer. In some embodiments, electronic device 100 displays items in past transfer items list 1716 in chronological order such that the item corresponding to the most recent transfer in the list (e.g., item 1718A) is displayed at the top of the list.
In some embodiments, place summary user interface 1702 further includes a details affordance 1770 for viewing information (e.g., contact information, business information, merchant or store information) about the place (e.g., “Macintosh Coffee Co.”) corresponding to place summary user interface 702. In some embodiments, place summary user interface 1702 further includes a phone affordance 1771 for initiating a telephone call or a voice call with a representative of the place (e.g., a representative or customer service personnel of the business, merchant, or store). In some embodiments, place summary user interface 1702 further includes a message affordance 1773 for initiating a messaging conversation (e.g., a support conversation) with a representative of the place (e.g., a representative or customer service personnel of the business, merchant, or store).

In some embodiments, transfer details user interface 1720 also includes a view receipt affordance 1732—in response to detecting a user activation of view receipt affordance 1732, electronic device 100 displays an image and/or information corresponding to a receipt (e.g., an original receipt) for the transfers. In some embodiments, transfer details user interface 1720 also includes a split transfer affordance 1734—in response to detecting a user activation of split transfer affordance 1734, electronic device 100 initiates a process for splitting the transfer amount (e.g., as indicated by indication 1722) with one or more contacts and/or friends (e.g., registered or stored on the device or accessible by the electronic device).
In some embodiments, transfer details user interface 1720 also includes an address indication 1736 that includes an address (e.g., business address; the respective chain location address, if the merchant operates a plurality of stores) of the place (e.g., a merchant, such as “Macintosh Coffee Co.”) corresponding to the transfer. In some embodiments, address indication 1736 also includes a map view 1738 of the location of the place. In some embodiments, in response to detecting a selection of map view 1738, electronic device 100 displays, on display 112, a map application that indicates the location of the place in a displayed map of the application.

In some embodiments, first transfer notification 1756 corresponds to a new transfer (e.g., a new payment transaction, a new points transfer) performed using the transfer account (e.g., the first-party credit account; the points account) at a place (e.g., a merchant, store, or location, such as “Macintosh Coffee Co.”), as indicated by indication 1758A, where the respective place is being tracked as a tracking category by the electronic device and the corresponding transfer category (e.g., food and drinks) is also being tracked as a tracking category by the electronic device. In some embodiments, indication 1758A includes an amount of the transfer that was performed (e.g., the payment transaction amount, the points transfer amount).
In some embodiments, because the respective place (e.g., “Macintosh Coffee Co.”) corresponding to the transfer (e.g., transfer of “$5.75” at “Macintosh Coffee Co.”) represented in the notification is being tracked for the transfer account (e.g., the first-party credit account; the points account), first transfer notification 1756 includes a first tracking indication 1758B corresponding to the respective place. In some embodiments, first tracking indication 1758B includes an indication of the total amount of transfers made (e.g., the total amount of funds spent, the total amount of points transferred) at the respective place for a predetermined time period (e.g., the past week, the past month, where the predetermined time period can be set or configured by the user of the electronic device) and, optionally, a budget allowance (e.g., set by the user) for transfers made at the respective place for the predetermined time period. Thus, in some embodiments, first tracking indication 1758B includes an indication of the total amount of transfers made at the respective place (e.g., “Macintosh Coffee Co.”) relative to the set budget allowance for the respective place for the predetermined time period.
In some embodiments, because the respective transfer category (e.g., food and drinks) corresponding to the transfer (e.g., transfer of “$5.75” at “Macintosh Coffee Co.”) represented in the notification is also being tracked for the transfer account (e.g., the first-party credit account; the points account), first transfer notification 1756 also includes a second tracking indication 1758C corresponding to the respective place. In some embodiments, second tracking indication 1758C includes an indication of the total amount of transfers made (e.g., the total amount of funds spent, the total amount of points transferred) for transfers of the respective transfer category (e.g., food and drinks) during the predetermined time period (e.g., the past week, the past month, where the predetermined time period can be set or configured by the user of the electronic device) and, optionally, a budget allowance (e.g., set by the user) for transfers of the respective transfer category for the predetermined time period. Thus, in some embodiments, second tracking indication 1758C includes an indication of the total amount of transfers made for transfers of the respective transfer category (e.g., food and drinks) during the predetermined time period relative to the set budget allowance for transfers of the respective transfer category for the predetermined time period.
In some embodiments, the budget allowance corresponds to the budget allowance for the respective place or respective transfer category (e.g., the particular place or location (e.g., “Macintosh Coffee Co.”), the particular spending type (e.g., food and drinks, shopping, groceries, travel, education, entertainment)) associated with the respective notification for the predetermined time period. In some embodiments, the budget allowance corresponds to the budget allowance for all transfers (e.g., all payment transactions, all points transfers) made using the transfer account for the predetermined time period.
In some embodiments, second transfer notification 1759 corresponds to a previous transfer (e.g., a previous payment transaction, a previous points transfer) performed using the transfer account (e.g., the first-party credit account; the points account) at a place (e.g., a merchant, store, or location, such as “Appleseed Mall”), as indicated by indication 1761A, where the corresponding transfer category (e.g., shopping) is being tracked as a tracking category by the electronic device (e.g., but the respective place, “Appleseed Mall,” is not being tracked as a tracking category by the electronic device). In some embodiments, indication 17561A includes an amount of the transfer that was performed (e.g., the payment transaction amount, the points transfer amount).
In some embodiments, because the respective transfer category (e.g., shopping) corresponding to the transfer (e.g., transfer of “$130.00” made at “Appleseed Mall”) represented in the notification is being tracked for the transfer account (e.g., the first-party credit account; the points account), second transfer notification 1759 includes a tracking indication 1761B corresponding to the respective place. In some embodiments, second tracking indication 1758B includes an indication of the total amount of transfers made (e.g., the total amount of funds spent, the total amount of points transferred) for transfers of the respective transfer category (e.g., shopping) during the predetermined time period (e.g., the past week, the past month, where the predetermined time period can be set or configured by the user of the electronic device) and, optionally, a budget allowance (e.g., set by the user) for transfers of the respective transfer category for the predetermined time period. Thus, in some embodiments, second tracking indication 17612B includes an indication of the total amount of transfers made for transfers of the respective transfer category (e.g., shopping) during the predetermined time period relative to the set budget allowance for transfers of the respective transfer category for the predetermined time period.
In some embodiments, third transfer notification 1763 corresponds to a previous transfer (e.g., a previous payment transaction, a previous points transfer) performed using the transfer account (e.g., the first-party credit account; the points account) with a place (e.g., a merchant, store, a physical or online location, such as “Ticket Market”), as indicated by indication 1765A, where neither the respective place (e.g., “Ticket Market”) nor the corresponding transfer category (e.g., entertainment) are being tracked as tracking categories by the electronic device. In some embodiments, indication 17565A includes an amount of the transfer that was performed (e.g., the payment transaction amount, the points transfer amount).
In some embodiments, because neither the respective place (e.g., “Ticket Market”) nor the transfer category (e.g., entertainment) corresponding to the transfer (e.g., transfer of “$83.92” made for “Ticket Market”) are being tracked as tracking categories by the electronic device, third transfer notification 1763 does not include tracking indications corresponding to the respective place or to the corresponding transfer category.

As described below, method 1800 provides an intuitive way for managing a transfer account. The method reduces the cognitive burden on a user for managing a transfer account, thereby creating a more efficient human-machine interface. For battery-operated computing devices, enabling a user to manage a transfer account faster and more efficiently conserves power and increases the time between battery charges.
The electronic device (e.g., 100) displays (1802), on the display (e.g., 112), a user interface (e.g., 1602, 1702) corresponding to a transfer account (e.g., the transfer account as escribed above with reference to
The user interface (e.g., 1602, 1702) includes a plurality of transfer items (e.g., 1610, 1716; shown as a list in chronological order) corresponding to past transfers (e.g., past payment transactions, past points transfers) made using the transfer account (1804). Displaying the plurality of transfer items corresponding to past transfers made using the transfer account enables the user to quickly and easily view summaries of and be reminded of (e.g., the most recent) transfers made using the transfer account. Providing improved visual feedback to the user enhances the operability of the device and makes the user-device interface more efficient (e.g., by helping the user to provide proper inputs and reducing user mistakes when operating and/or interacting with the device) which, additionally, reduces power usage and improves battery life of the device by enabling the user to use the device more quickly and efficiently.
The user interface (e.g., 1602, 1702) includes an indication (e.g., 1704, 1706; name, image, photo, location information, map) of a first common characteristic (e.g., a particular location, a particular merchant, a particular category (e.g., shopping, groceries, travel, dining), a time period or a combination of those characteristics) of the past transfers (1806). Including the indication of the first common characteristic in the user interface allows the user to quickly and easily recognize the common characteristic that is associated with the displayed user interface (e.g., without needing to navigate to a different user interface or option). Reducing the number of inputs needed to perform an operation enhances the operability of the device and makes the user-device interface more efficient (e.g., by helping the user to provide proper inputs and reducing user mistakes when operating and/or interacting with the device) which, additionally, reduces power usage and improves battery life of the device by enabling the user to use the device more quickly and efficiently.
The user interface (e.g., 1602, 1128, 1702) includes an affordance (e.g., 1616, 1130B; a track affordance) to initiate tracking of transfers that share the first common characteristic (1808).
In some embodiments, the user interface (e.g., 1602, 1128, 1702) further includes an indication of a total amount of transfers made (e.g., the total amount of funds or credit spent) that correspond to the first common characteristic (e.g., at a common place) during a first time period (e.g., the current month, the current week) as compared to a second time period (e.g., the previous month, the previous week) (1810). Including, in the user interface, the indication of the total amount of transfers made that correspond to the first common characteristic during a first time period as compared to a second time period reminds the user of and provides feedback about changes in the user's spending behavior. Providing improved feedback to the user enhances the operability of the device and makes the user-device interface more efficient (e.g., by helping the user to provide proper inputs and reducing user mistakes when operating and/or interacting with the device) which, additionally, reduces power usage and improves battery life of the device by enabling the user to use the device more quickly and efficiently. In some embodiments, the user interface includes the indication of a total amount of transfers made (e.g., the total amount of funds or credit spent) at a common place during a present time period (e.g., the current month, the current week) as compared to a previous time period (e.g., the previous month, the previous week). Including, in the user interface, the indication of a total amount of transfers made at the common place during a present time period as compared to a previous time period reminds the user of and provides feedback about changes in the user's spending behavior. Providing improved feedback to the user enhances the operability of the device and makes the user-device interface more efficient (e.g., by helping the user to provide proper inputs and reducing user mistakes when operating and/or interacting with the device) which, additionally, reduces power usage and improves battery life of the device by enabling the user to use the device more quickly and efficiently.
In some embodiments, the user interface (e.g., 1602, 1702) further includes an indication (e.g., 1608, 1714) of a total amount of rewards (e.g., cash back, rewards points) accumulated (e.g., for a certain time period) that correspond to the first common characteristic (e.g., at the common place) (1812). Including, in the user interface, the indication of the total amount of rewards accumulated that correspond to the first common characteristic enables the user to quickly and easily view the amount of available rewards. Providing improved visual feedback to the user enhances the operability of the device and makes the user-device interface more efficient (e.g., by helping the user to provide proper inputs and reducing user mistakes when operating and/or interacting with the device) which, additionally, reduces power usage and improves battery life of the device by enabling the user to use the device more quickly and efficiently.
In some embodiments, the user interface (e.g., 1602, 1702) further includes a visual representation (e.g., 1706; photo, image, picture, logo) of the first common characteristic (e.g., a common place) (1814).
In some embodiments, the first common characteristic corresponds to a common place (e.g., a particular merchant, a particular company, a particular store, a particular location, a particular geographical area).
In some embodiments, the user interface (e.g., 1602, 1702) further includes a map representation (e.g., 1710E) of the common place (1816). In some embodiments, in response to detecting a selection of the map representation, the electronic device (e.g., 100) displays a location of the common place in a map application (e.g., different from the application that displays the user interface). Displaying the location of the common place in the map application in response to detecting the selection of the map representation enables the user to, if needed, quickly view detailed location information about the common place and/or search for a direction to the commonplace. Providing additional control options without cluttering the UI with additional displayed controls enhances the operability of the device and makes the user-device interface more efficient (e.g., by helping the user to provide proper inputs and reducing user mistakes when operating and/or interacting with the device) which, additionally, reduces power usage and improves battery life of the device by enabling the user to use the device more quickly and efficiently. In some embodiments, the display of a user interface of the map application replaces the display of the user interface.
In some embodiments, the user interface (e.g., 1602, 1702) further includes a first transfer item (e.g., 1718A) corresponding to a first location of the common place (e.g., if the common place is a chain merchant with a plurality of stores or locations, a first store or location of the merchant), where the first item corresponds to a first transfer (e.g., past payment, purchase, bill) made at the first location of the common place (1818). In some embodiments, the user interface further includes a second transfer item (e.g., 1718B) corresponding to a second location of the common place (e.g., a second store or location of the merchant), where the second item corresponds to a second transfer (e.g., past payment, purchase, bill) made at the second location of the common place (1820). In some embodiments, the user interface further includes additional transfer items corresponding to other locations of the common place. Including, in the user interface, the first transfer item corresponding to the first location of the common place and the second transfer item corresponding to the second location of the common place enables the user to quickly and easily view past transfers made using the transfer account at different locations of the common place. Reducing the number of inputs needed to perform an operation enhances the operability of the device and makes the user-device interface more efficient (e.g., by helping the user to provide proper inputs and reducing user mistakes when operating and/or interacting with the device) which, additionally, reduces power usage and improves battery life of the device by enabling the user to use the device more quickly and efficiently. In some embodiments, the display of a user interface of the map application replaces the display of the user interface.
In some embodiments, the user interface (e.g., 1602, 1702) includes a location detail affordance (e.g., 1770) and the first common characteristic corresponds to a common place (e.g., a particular merchant, a particular company, a particular store, a particular location, a particular geographical area). In some embodiments, while displaying the user interface, the electronic device (e.g., 100) detects a selection of the location detail affordance. In some embodiments, in response to detecting the selection of the location detail affordance, the electronic device (e.g., 100) displays, on the display (e.g., 112), a location detail user interface (e.g., 1772) that includes information (e.g., hours of operation, contact information, address) corresponding to the common place. In some embodiments, at least a portion of the information corresponding to the common place is retrieved (in response to detecting the selection of the location detail affordance) from the Internet (optionally in response to detecting selection of the location detail affordance).
In some embodiments, the location detail user interface (e.g., 1772) includes a map affordance (e.g., 1782). In some embodiments, while displaying the location detail user interface, the electronic device (e.g., 100) detects a selection of the map affordance. In some embodiments, in response to detecting the selection of the map affordance, the electronic device displays, on the display (e.g., 112) (e.g., in a map application), a map indicating a location of the common place. Displaying a map indicating the location of the common place in response to detecting the selection of the map affordance in the location detail user interface enables the user to, if needed, quickly view detailed location information about the common place and/or search for a direction to the commonplace. Providing additional control options without cluttering the UI with additional displayed controls enhances the operability of the device and makes the user-device interface more efficient (e.g., by helping the user to provide proper inputs and reducing user mistakes when operating and/or interacting with the device) which, additionally, reduces power usage and improves battery life of the device by enabling the user to use the device more quickly and efficiently.
The electronic device (e.g., 100) detects (1822) a selection of the affordance (e.g., 1616, 1130B) to initiate the tracking of transfers that share the first common characteristic.
In response to detecting the selection of the affordance (e.g., 1616, 1130B), the electronic device (e.g., 100) initiates (1824) a process for adding a tracking category that tracks transfers that share the first common characteristic.
In some embodiments, initiating the process for adding the tracking category that tracks transfers that share the first common characteristic includes the electronic device (e.g., 100) concurrently displaying, on the display (e.g., 112) (e.g., in a track spending user interface), an indication (e.g., 1744D) of the first common characteristic and an indication (e.g., 1744A-1744C) of a second common characteristic (e.g., a particular location, a particular merchant, a particular category (e.g., shopping, groceries, travel, dining) that is different from that of the first common characteristic), where transfers (e.g., distinct from the past transfers) that share the second common characteristic are being tracked. Displaying the indication of the first common characteristic and the indication of the second common characteristic provides feedback about the different types of common characteristics that are being tracked. Providing improved feedback enhances the operability of the device and makes the user-device interface more efficient (e.g., by helping the user to provide proper inputs and reducing user mistakes when operating and/or interacting with the device) which, additionally, reduces power usage and improves battery life of the device by enabling the user to use the device more quickly and efficiently. In some embodiments, some (but not all) of the past transfers share the second common characteristic. In some embodiments, none of the past transfers share the second common characteristic.
In some embodiments, while the transfers that share the first common characteristic are being tracked, the electronic device (e.g., 100) displays (1826), on the display (e.g., 112) (e.g., in the user interface corresponding to the transfer account, in a home user interface, in a lock user interface), a notification (e.g., 1622, 1756; an alert) indicating a total amount (e.g., the total amount of funds spent) of transfers that share the first common characteristic that have been made relative to a set limit (e.g., a budget, a spending limit) for transfers that share the first common characteristic (e.g., during a certain period of time, such as during the past month or during the past week). In some embodiments, however, if the same transfers that share the first common characteristic are not being tracked, the electronic device displays, on the display, the notification without including the indication of the total amount (e.g., the total amount of funds spent, the total amount of points transferred) of transfers that share the first common characteristic that have been made relative to the set limit for transfers that share the first common characteristic. Displaying the notification indicating the total amount of transfers that share the first common characteristic that have been made relative to a set limit for transfers that share the first common characteristic provides (e.g., immediate) feedback to the user about transfer activity of the first common characteristic (e.g., whenever transfers that share the first common characteristic are made). Providing improved visual feedback to the user enhances the operability of the device and makes the user-device interface more efficient (e.g., by helping the user to provide proper inputs and reducing user mistakes when operating and/or interacting with the device) which, additionally, reduces power usage and improves battery life of the device by enabling the user to use the device more quickly and efficiently. In some embodiments, the electronic device determines which characteristics are being tracked. For those characteristics being tracked, the device determines whether a notification condition is met. In accordance with the notification condition being met, the notification is displayed. In accordance with the notification condition not being met, the notification is not displayed. When the notification condition is met (and not met) for a characteristic that is not being tracked, the notification is not displayed.
In some embodiments, initiating the process for adding the tracking category that tracks transfers that share the first common characteristic includes the electronic device (e.g., 100) displaying, on the display (e.g., 112), a tracking user interface (e.g., 1740), where the tracking user interface includes: a first indication (e.g., 1744D) of a total amount of the transfers that share the first common characteristic made (e.g., spent) during a respective time period (e.g., a certain set time period, such as the past month or the past statement period), and a second indication (e.g., 1744A-1477C) of a total amount of transfers that share a second common characteristic different from the first common characteristic made (e.g., spent) during the respective time period, where transfers that share the second common characteristic are being tracked. Displaying the tracking user interface that includes the first indication of the total amount of the transfers that share the first common characteristic made during the respective time period, and the second indication of the total amount of transfers that share a second common characteristic different from the first common characteristic made during the respective time period, where transfers that share the second common characteristic provides quick feedback about common characteristics that are being tracked. Providing improved visual feedback to the user enhances the operability of the device and makes the user-device interface more efficient (e.g., by helping the user to provide proper inputs and reducing user mistakes when operating and/or interacting with the device) which, additionally, reduces power usage and improves battery life of the device by enabling the user to use the device more quickly and efficiently. In some embodiments, common characteristics (e.g., a particular merchant, a particular location, a particular store, a particular area) that are not being tracked are not included in the tracking user interface. In some embodiments, some (but not all) of the past transfers have the second common characteristic. In some embodiments, none of the past transfers have the second common characteristic.
In some embodiments, subsequent to (or in response to) adding the tracking category that tracks transfers that share the first common characteristic, the electronic device (e.g., 100) receives (1828) a request to display a widget corresponding to the transfer application. In some embodiments, in response to receiving the request to display the widget corresponding to the transfer application, the electronic device displays, on the display (e.g., 112), a tracking widget (e.g., 1762) that includes (1830): a first tracked item (e.g., 1768C) corresponding to the first common characteristic, where the first tracked item includes a first indication of a total amount of the transfers that share the first common characteristic made (e.g., spent) during a respective time period (e.g., a certain set time period, such as the past month or the past statement period) (1832), and a second tracked item (e.g., 1768A-1768B) corresponding to a second common characteristic, where transfers that share the second common characteristic are being tracked, and where the second tracked item includes a second indication of a total amount of transfers that share the second common characteristic made (e.g., spent) during the respective time period (1834). Displaying the tracking widget that includes the first tracked item and the second tracked item enables the user to quickly and easily access and view summarized information about transfer categories that are being tracked. Reducing the number of inputs needed to perform an operation enhances the operability of the device and makes the user-device interface more efficient (e.g., by helping the user to provide proper inputs and reducing user mistakes when operating and/or interacting with the device) which, additionally, reduces power usage and improves battery life of the device by enabling the user to use the device more quickly and efficiently. In some embodiments, a plurality of application affordances are concurrently displayed with the widgets user interface (e.g., 1760) that includes the tracking widget. In some embodiments, activating the first tracked item causes display of an electronic wallet application. Displaying the electronic wallet application in response to detecting activation of the first racked item allows the user to quickly and easily access the electronic wallet application from the tracking widget. Reducing the number of inputs needed to perform an operation enhances the operability of the device and makes the user-device interface more efficient (e.g., by helping the user to provide proper inputs and reducing user mistakes when operating and/or interacting with the device) which, additionally, reduces power usage and improves battery life of the device by enabling the user to use the device more quickly and efficiently.
In some embodiments, the electronic device (e.g., 100) detects (1836) a transfer (e.g., a transaction) made using the transfer account, where the transfer corresponds to a third common characteristic (e.g., a particular merchant, a particular location, a particular store, a particular area). In some embodiments, in response to detecting the transfer, the electronic device displays (1838), on the display (e.g., 112) (e.g., in a home user interface, in a lock user interface), a notification (e.g., 1622, 1756; a banner notification, an alert, a prompt). Displaying the notification indicating provides (e.g., immediate) feedback to the user about transfer activity of the third common characteristic (e.g., whenever transfers that share the third common characteristic are made). Providing improved visual feedback to the user enhances the operability of the device and makes the user-device interface more efficient (e.g., by helping the user to provide proper inputs and reducing user mistakes when operating and/or interacting with the device) which, additionally, reduces power usage and improves battery life of the device by enabling the user to use the device more quickly and efficiently. In some embodiments, the notification includes an amount of the detected transfer and/or a merchant corresponding to the transfer. In some embodiments, in accordance with a determination that transfers that share the third common characteristic are being tracked, the notification includes an indication of a total amount of transfers that share the third common characteristic that have been using the transfer account (e.g., for a certain period of time, such as the current month, the current week, the current statement balance period) (1840). In some embodiments, in accordance with a determination that transfers that share the third common characteristic are not being tracked, the notification does not include the indication of the total amount of transfers that share the third common characteristic that have been using the transfer account (1842). In some embodiments, in accordance with the determination that transfers that share the third common characteristic are being tracked, the notification also includes an amount of the detected transfer. In some embodiments, in accordance with the determination that transfers that share the third common characteristic are not being tracked, the notification also includes the amount of the detected transfer.
In some embodiments, subsequent to (or in response to) initiating the process for adding the tracking category that tracks transfers that share the first common characteristic (1844), the electronic device (e.g., 100) displays (1846), in the user interface (e.g., 1602, 1128, 1702), an affordance (e.g., 1130A) to cease (or initiate a process to cease) the tracking of transfers that share the first common characteristic, where the affordance (e.g., a stop-tracking affordance) to cease the tracking of transfers that share the first common characteristic is displayed at a location in the user interface that was previously occupied by the affordance (e.g., a track affordance) to initiate tracking of transfers that share the first common characteristic in the user interface. In some embodiments, the affordance to cease the tracking of transfers is displayed at the same location on the display as the affordance to initiate tracking of transfers that share the first common characteristic was previously displayed. Displaying, in the user interface, the affordance to cease the tracking of transfers that share the first common characteristic, where the affordance to cease the tracking of transfers that share the first common characteristic is displayed at a location in the user interface that was previously occupied by the affordance to initiate tracking of transfers that share the first common characteristic in the user interface enables the user to quickly and easily recognize that transfers that share the first common characteristic are being tracked. Providing improved visual feedback to the user enhances the operability of the device and makes the user-device interface more efficient (e.g., by helping the user to provide proper inputs and reducing user mistakes when operating and/or interacting with the device) which, additionally, reduces power usage and improves battery life of the device by enabling the user to use the device more quickly and efficiently.
In some embodiments, the electronic device (e.g., 100) detects activation of the affordance (e.g., 1130A) to cease the tracking of transfers that share the first common characteristic. In some embodiments, in response to detecting activation of the affordance to cease the tracking of transfers that share the first common characteristic, the electronic device ceases (or initiates a process to cease) tracking of transfers that share the first common characteristic. In some embodiments, subsequent to (or in response to) ceasing (or initiating a process for ceasing) the tracking of transfers that share the first common characteristic (1848), the electronic device displays (1850), in the user interface (e.g., 1602, 1128, 1702), the affordance (e.g., 1616, 1130B) to initiate the process for adding the tracking category that tracks transfers that share the first common characteristic, where the affordance to initiate the process for adding the tracking category that tracks transfers that share the first common characteristic is displayed at a location in the user interface that was previously occupied by the affordance to cease the tracking of transfers that share the first common characteristic in the user interface. In some embodiments, the affordance to initiate tracking of transfers is displayed at the same location on the display as the affordance to cease the tracking of transfers that share the first common characteristic was previously displayed.
In some embodiments, subsequent to (or in response to) initiating the process for adding the tracking category that tracks transfers that share the first common characteristic, the electronic device (e.g., 100) displays (1852), on the display (e.g., 112) (e.g., in a tracking user interface for the first common characteristic), an option to set a limit amount for the transfers that share the first common characteristic (e.g., a budget). In some embodiments, the electronics device detects (1854) a user input directed to the option to set the limit amount (e.g., a user input entering or setting the budget). In some embodiments, in response to detecting the user input directed to the option, the electronic device sets (1856) the limit amount in accordance with the user input for a predetermined time period (e.g., a month, a week).
In some embodiments, subsequent to (or in response to) initiating the process for adding the tracking category that tracks transfers that share the first common characteristic (1858), in accordance with a determination that a total amount for the transfers that share the first common characteristic during the predetermined time period has reached (and/or exceeded) a threshold amount (e.g., an amount that is nearing or approaching the set budget or an amount that has exceeded the set budget), the electronics device (e.g., 100) displays (1860), on the display (e.g., 112), a warning notification indicating that the total amount has reached the threshold amount, where the warning notification is not displayed when the total amount has not reached the threshold amount. Thus, in some embodiments, the warning notification is only displayed when the total amount has reached and/or exceeded the threshold amount. In some embodiments, the electronic device provides a plurality of different warning notifications if the total amount for the transfers that share the first common characteristic has reached and/or exceeded the threshold amount. In some embodiments, the electronic device provides warning notifications more frequently than regular (non-warning) notifications that are provided when the total amount has not yet reached the threshold amount. Providing one or more warnings notifications in accordance with the determination that the total amount for the transfers that share the first common characteristic during the predetermined time period has reached (and/or exceeded) a threshold amount provides (e.g., immediate) feedback to the user that the total amount for the transfers has reached (and/or exceeded) the threshold amount, and thus that the user may need to take action accordingly (e.g., perform a balance transfer or reduce or stop transfer activity for the first common characteristic). Providing improved visual feedback to the user enhances the operability of the device and makes the user-device interface more efficient (e.g., by helping the user to provide proper inputs and reducing user mistakes when operating and/or interacting with the device) which, additionally, reduces power usage and improves battery life of the device by enabling the user to use the device more quickly and efficiently.
In some embodiments, subsequent to (or in response to) initiating the process for adding the tracking category that tracks transfers that share the first common characteristic (1862), the electronic device (e.g., 100) detects (1864) (e.g., using GPS information) that the electronic device is at a location (e.g., a store) corresponding to the first common characteristic (e.g., a merchant). In some embodiments, in response to detecting that the electronic device is at the location corresponding to the first common characteristic, the electronic device (e.g., 100) displays (1866), on the display (e.g., 112) (e.g., in a home user interface, in a lock user interface, in a widget or menus user interface), a notification (e.g., 1622, 1756, a banner notification, an alert, a prompt) indicating that the electronic device is at the location corresponding to the first common characteristic, where the notification includes an indication of a trend of transfers corresponding to the first common characteristics (e.g., made at locations, such as stores, corresponding to the first common characteristic, such as a merchant) during a predetermined time period (e.g., the past month, the past 3 months, the past year).
In some embodiments, while displaying the user interface (e.g., 1602, 1702), the electronic device (e.g., 100) detects a selection of a transfer item corresponding to a transfer (e.g., a past payment, purchase, or bill). In some embodiments, the transfer was made at a location of a common place (e.g., at a store of the merchant). In some embodiments, in response to detecting the selection of the transfer item, the electronic device displays, on the display (e.g., 112), a transfer detail user interface (e.g., 1720) corresponding to the transfer corresponding to the selected transfer item. In some embodiments, the transfer was made at the location of the common place. In some embodiments, the transfer detail user interface includes information about the corresponding transfer, such as an amount of the transfer (e.g., 1722), a date and/or time of the transfer (e.g., 1728), the particular location of the transfer (e.g., 1736).
In some embodiments, the transfer detail user interface (e.g., 1720) includes a splitting affordance (e.g., 1734). In some embodiments, while displaying the transfer detail user interface, the electronic device (e.g., 100) detects a selection of the splitting affordance. In some embodiments, in response to detecting the selection of the splitting affordance, the electronic device initiates a process for splitting the transfer with the at least one other person (e.g., splitting the payment, purchase, or bill with one or more additional people).
In some embodiments, the transfer detail user interface (e.g., 1720) includes a receipt affordance (e.g., 1732). In some embodiments, while displaying the transfer detail user interface, the electronic derive (e.g., 100) detects a selection of the receipt affordance. In some embodiments, in response to detecting the selection of the receipt affordance, the electronic device displays, on the display (e.g., 112), (e.g., information corresponding to, an image of) a receipt (e.g., a copy of the original receipt) corresponding to the transfer. In some examples, the receipt includes an itemized list of products and/or services purchased. In some examples, the receipt includes an itemized list of taxes paid.
In some embodiments, the transfer detail user interface (e.g., 1720) includes a dispute affordance. In some embodiments, while displaying the transfer detail user interface, the electronic device (e.g., 100) detects a selection of the dispute affordance. In some embodiments, in response to detecting the selection of the dispute affordance, the electronic device initiates a process for disputing the transfer (e.g., by displaying a contact page for entering information about and registering the dispute; by placing a call to a registered dispute number).
In some embodiments, the electronic device (e.g., 100) detects (1868) (e.g., while displaying a user interface (e.g., 710, 887, 1702) corresponding to the transfer account) a selection of a search affordance (e.g., 871). In some embodiments, in response to detecting the selection of the search affordance, the electronic device displays a search user interface (e.g., 1166). In some embodiments, subsequent to (or in response to) detecting the selection of the search affordance, the electronic device receives (1870) user input that includes one or more search terms. In some embodiments, in response to receiving the user input, the electronic device identifies (1872), based on the one or more search terms, a searched common characteristic. In some embodiments, in response to identifying the searched common characteristic, the electronic device displays (1874), on the display, options to: track transfers that share the searched common characteristic, where the searched common characteristic is a location (e.g., a particular region or area) (1876), set a limit amount (e.g., a budget) for transfers that share the searched common characteristic (e.g., for a predetermined amount of time) (1878), and generate an expense report that includes information corresponding to transfers made using the transfer account that share the searched common characteristic (1880). Displaying options to track transfers that share the searched common characteristic, set a limit amount for transfers that share the searched common characteristic, and generate an expense report that includes information corresponding to transfers made using the transfer account that share the searched common characteristic in response to identifying the searched common characteristic enables the user to quickly and easily manage transfers that share the searched common characteristic from the search user interface. Providing additional control options without cluttering the UI with additional displayed controls enhances the operability of the device and makes the user-device interface more efficient (e.g., by helping the user to provide proper inputs and reducing user mistakes when operating and/or interacting with the device) which, additionally, reduces power usage and improves battery life of the device by enabling the user to use the device more quickly and efficiently.
In some embodiments, in response to (or subsequent to) detecting a user input directed to selecting the option to track transfers that share the searched common characteristic, the electronic device (e.g., 100) begins tracking transfers that share the searched common characteristic (e.g., provides notifications and/or prompts about transfers that share the searched common characteristic, including a total amount of the transfers). In some embodiments, in response to detecting a user input directed to selecting the option to set a limit amount (e.g., a budget) for transfers that share the searched common characteristic, the electronic device (e.g., 100) enables the user to select or enter the limit amount. In some embodiments, in response to (or subsequent to) detecting the selection of the limit amount, the electronic device (e.g., 100) initiates a process for enforcing the limit amount on transfers that share the searched common characteristic. In some embodiments, in response to detecting a user input directed to generating the expense report, the electronic device (e.g., 100) displays, on the display (e.g., 112), a list of items that include detailed information related to the transfers (e.g., including detailed information related to the transfers, such as the amount, date, and location of the transfers, the parties involved in the transfers, and/or receipts corresponding to the transfers).
In some embodiments, in response to identifying the searched common characteristic, the electronic device (e.g., 100) displays (1882), on the display (e.g., 112), an indication (e.g., 1180) of the searched common characteristic. In some embodiments, the electronic device (e.g., 100) detects (1884) a selection of the indication of the searched common characteristics. In some embodiments, in response to detecting the selection of the indication of the searched common characteristic, the electronic device displays (1886), on the display (e.g., 112), sub-characteristics (e.g., 1182A-1182C) corresponding to a subset of the searched common characteristic (e.g., if the searched common characteristic is a particular category, such as a particular region or area, the sub-characteristics are sub-categories of that particular category, such as locations within the particular region or area). In some embodiments, transfers can also be tracked based on common sub-characteristics. That is, in some embodiments, the electronic device can track transfers that share a particular common sub-characteristic as it can track transfers that share a particular common characteristic, as described in greater detail above with reference to
Note that details of the processes described above with respect to method 1800 (e.g.,
As described below, method 1801 provides an intuitive way for managing a user account. The method reduces the cognitive burden on a user for managing a user account, thereby creating a more efficient human-machine interface. For battery-operated computing devices, enabling a user to manage a user account faster and more efficiently conserves power and increases the time between battery charges.
The electronic device (e.g., 100) displays (1802, 1803), on the display (e.g., 112), a user interface (e.g., 1602, 1612) corresponding to a user account. The user interface (e.g., 1602, 1612) includes a plurality of user interface objects (e.g., 1610) corresponding to past activity using the user account (1804, 1805). The user interface (e.g., 1602) includes an indication of a first common characteristic of the past activity (1806, 1807). The user interface (e.g., 1602, 1612) includes an affordance (e.g., 1616) to initiate tracking of activity that shares the first common characteristic (1808, 1809).
The electronic device (e.g., 100) detects (1822, 1811) a selection of the affordance (e.g., 1616) to initiate the tracking of activity that shares the first common characteristic.
In response to detecting the selection of the affordance (e.g., 1616), the electronic device (e.g., 100) initiates (1824, 1813) a process for adding a tracking category that tracks activity that shares the first common characteristic.
In some embodiments, the user account corresponds to a computer storage account. In some embodiments, using the user account includes requesting storage of data onto available computer storage resources (e.g., an available MB or GB amount of computer resources) associated with the computer storage account.
In some embodiments, the user account corresponds to a financial account. In some embodiments, using the user account includes making purchases based on financial resources (e.g., credit or money) associated with the financial account.
In some embodiments, the user account is a transfer account, and the technique described with respect to
In some embodiments, data deletion user interface 1902 includes a selector user interface element 1904 (e.g., shaped as a circular, closed loop) with a selection indicator 1908 that enables a selection of the amount of data to be deleted by moving selection indicator 1908 along selector user interface element 1904. In some embodiments, data deletion user interface 1902 includes an indication 1910 showing the amount of data that is currently selected by selection indicator 1908 on selector user interface element 1904.
In some embodiments, selector user interface element 1904 includes a minimum selectable value position (e.g., near the top region of the circular, closed loop shape of the user interface element) that corresponds to a lowest amount of data that can be selected to be deleted from data that is stored and/or archived on the computer storage resources associated with the user account (e.g., a computer storage account). In some embodiments, selector user interface element 1904 includes a maximum selectable value position (e.g., near the top region of the circular, closed loop shape of the user interface element) that corresponds to a highest amount of data that can be selected to be deleted from data that is stored and/or archived on computer storage resources associated with the user account (e.g., a computer storage account)—all of the data that is currently stored and/or archived on the computer storage resources associated with the user account.
In some embodiments, selector user interface element 1904 includes a plurality of suggested selectable data amounts that are indicated on the user interface element via suggested amount indicators 1906A-1906E. In some embodiments, suggested amount indicator 1906D corresponds to a data amount corresponding to the full amount of data that should be deleted from the computer storage resources associated with the user account (e.g., a computer storage account) for a respective time period (e.g., a previous month) to fully avoid a use quota reduction penalty on the user account. In some embodiments, suggested amount indicator 1806E corresponds to a data amount corresponding an amount that is greater than the full amount of data that should be deleted from the computer storage resources associated with the user account (e.g., a computer storage account) for the respective time period (e.g., a previous month) but less than an amount representing all of the data that is currently stored and/or archived on the user account.
In some embodiments, suggested amount indicator 1906A corresponds to a suggested selectable data amount to be deleted from the computer storage resources associated with the user account (e.g., a computer storage account) that would enable the avoidance of a basic use quota reduction penalty. In some embodiments, suggested amount indicator 1906B corresponds to a suggested selectable data amount to be deleted from the computer storage resources associated with the user account (e.g., a computer storage account) that would enable the data to be deleted at a reasonable rate over a first period of time (e.g., 2 years, 1.5 years, 1 year). In some embodiments, suggested amount indicator 1906C corresponds to a suggested selectable data amount to be deleted from the computer storage resources associated with the user account (e.g., a computer storage account) that would enable the data to be deleted at a reasonable rate over a second period of time (e.g., 9 months, 6 months, 3 months).
In some embodiments, data deletion user interface 1902 includes a delete later affordance 1914 for scheduling an amount of data to be (e.g., automatically) deleted from the computer storage resources associated with the user account (e.g., a computer storage account) at a future time. In some embodiments, data deletion user interface 1902 includes a delete now affordance for initiating the deletion of the selected amount of data (e.g., selected via selector user interface element 1904 and selection indicator 1908) from the computer storage resources associated with the user account (e.g., a computer storage account). In some embodiments, data deletion user interface 1902 includes a keyboard affordance 1918 for causing display of a keyboard or keypad to manually enter an amount (e.g., using numerical values on the keyboard or keypad) of data for deletion from the computer storage resources associated with the user account (e.g., a computer storage account).
In some embodiments, data deletion user interface 1902 includes a message region 1912 that shows information about different amounts of data that are suggested to be deleted from the computer storage resources associated with the user account (e.g., a computer storage account). In

In some embodiments, in response to detecting that selection indicator 1908 is moved on selector user interface element 1904, electronic device 100 accordingly updates the displayed message in message region 1912 based on the new selected data amount. In this example, in response to detecting that selection indicator 1908 is moved to a location on selector user interface element 1904 corresponding to suggested amount indicator 1906A, electronic device 100 displays, in message region 1912, an indication that the currently-selected amount is greater than the data amount that was deleted from the computer storage resources associated with the user account (e.g., a computer storage account) during the previous deletion time period (e.g., the previous month).

In some embodiments, selector user interface element 1146 further includes plurality of proposed amount indicators 1148A-1148E corresponding to proposed balance transfer amounts (e.g., proposed balance payment amounts). As already discussed, the defined path of selector user interface element 1146 further includes, along the defined path, a plurality of proposed amount indicators 1148A-1148E corresponding to proposed balance transfer amounts (e.g., proposed balance payment amounts). In some embodiments, the plurality of proposed amount indicators include a proposed amount indicator (e.g., proposed amount indicator 1148A) corresponding to an amount that is greater than the minimum balance transfer amount (e.g., and is the same as or greater than a previous balance transfer amount) but is still a relatively small amount. In some embodiments, the plurality of proposed amount indicators include another proposed amount indicator (e.g., a proposed amount indicator 1148D) corresponding to a balance transfer amount (e.g., the full statement amount) that would fully avoid a penalty (e.g., interest) for the current balance transfer period (e.g., the current statement period). In some embodiments, the plurality of proposed amount indicators include another proposed amount indicator (e.g., a proposed amount indicator 1148E) corresponding to an amount that is greater than the balance transfer amount that would fully avoid a penalty for the current balance transfer period (e.g., greater than the full statement amount) but smaller than the maximum balance transfer amount (e.g., less than all of the current balance). In some embodiments, the plurality of proposed amount indicators include one or more additional proposed amount indicators (e.g., proposed amount indicators 1148B, 1148C) corresponding to balance transfer amounts (e.g., balance payment amounts) that are determined based on the full amount of the remaining balance of the transfer account, past balance transfer history (e.g., past balance payment history), and/or an afforded time period (e.g., 3 months 6 months) to be provided to fully reduce the remaining balance of the transfer account (e.g., to fully pay off the balance of the account). In some embodiments, balance transfer user interface 1142 also includes information region 1158 describing an effect or result of making a balance transfer (e.g., a balance payment) based on the currently-selected balance transfer amount.
In some embodiments, in response to detecting selection 2001 of balance transfer user interface element 881, electronic device 100 displays (e.g., by default) selection indicator 1150 at a location on the defined path of selector user interface element 1146 that corresponds to a balance transfer amount (e.g., the full statement amount) that would fully avoid a penalty (e.g., interest) for the current balance transfer period (e.g., the current statement period). Thus, in some embodiments, electronic device 100 displays, by default, selection indicator 1150 at the location on the defined path of selector user interface element 1146 corresponding to proposed amount indicator 1148D. In some embodiments, in response to detecting selection 2001 of balance transfer user interface element 881, electronic device 100 displays (e.g., by default) selection indicator 1150 at a location on the defined path of selector user interface element 1146 that corresponds to the minimum balance transfer amount (e.g., the minimum balance payment amount that would avoid a penalty, such as a late fee, as depicted in

In some embodiments, the portion of the defined path from a beginning terminus position of the defined path (e.g., if the defined path is a circular, closed-loop path, the 12 o'clock position of the defined path) to the current position of selection indicator 1150 is displayed with a visual characteristic (e.g., a particular color), where the type of the visual characteristic that is displayed is dependent upon the location of selection indicator 1150 along the defined path and the corresponding value of the selected transfers amount when the selection indicator 1150 is at its current location.
For example, if selection indicator 1150 is at a position on the defined path corresponding to proposed amount indicator 1148A or at a position that corresponds to a value that is less than the value corresponding to the position on the defined path corresponding to proposed amount indicator 1148A (e.g., a position closer to the beginning terminus position of the defined path), electronic device 100 displays the portion of the defined path (e.g., and the selection indicator itself) from the beginning terminus position of the defined path (e.g., if the defined path is a circular, closed-loop path, the 12 o'clock position of the defined path) to the position of selection indicator 1150 with a first visual characteristic (e.g., a first color, such as red). In some example, the device prevents the user from moving selector indicator 1150 to a position on the defined path that corresponds to a value that is less than the value of amount indicator 1148A. For another example, if selection indicator 1150 is at a position on the defined path that corresponds to a value that is less than the value of the position of proposed amount indicator 1148D but more than the value of the position of proposed amount indicator 1148A (e.g., a position on the defined path that is between proposed amount indicator 1148A and proposed amount indicator 1148D), electronic device 100 displays the portion of the defined path (e.g., and the selection indicator itself) from the beginning terminus position of the defined path (e.g., if the defined path is a circular, closed-loop path, the 12 o'clock position of the defined path) to the position of selection indicator 1150 with a second visual characteristic (e.g., a second color, such as yellow). For another example, if selection indicator 1150 is at a position on the defined path that corresponds to proposed amount indicator 1148D, electronic device 100 displays the portion of the defined path (e.g., and the selection indicator itself) from the beginning terminus position of the defined path (e.g., if the defined path is a circular, closed-loop path, the 12 o'clock position of the defined path) to the position of selection indicator 1150 with a third visual characteristic (e.g., a third color, such as green). For another example, if selection indicator 1150 is at a position on the defined path that corresponds to a value on the defined path that is more than the value of the position on the defined path of proposed amount indicator 1148D (e.g., a position farther from the beginning terminus position of the defined path than proposed amount indicator 1148D), electronic device 100 displays the portion of the defined path (e.g., and the selection indicator itself) from the beginning terminus position of the defined path (e.g., if the defined path is a circular, closed-loop path, the 12 o'clock position of the defined path) to the position of selection indicator 1150 with a fourth visual characteristic (e.g., a fourth color, such as blue).
In some embodiments, balance transfer user interface 1142 includes indication 1154 of the currently-selected balance transfer amount (e.g., balance payment amount; points transfer amount) based on the location of selection indicator 1150 on the defined path of selector user interface element 1146.

In some embodiments, while electronic device 100 detects that selection indicator 1150 is being moved (e.g., dragged, slid) on the defined path of selector user interface element 1146 via a user input, and selection indicator 1150 approaches a proposed amount indicator (e.g., proposed amount indicators 1148A 1148B, 1148C) on the defined path, electronic device 100 displays a “snapping” motion of selection indicator 1150 to the proposed amount indicator. That is, in some embodiments, a proposed amount indicator along the defined path acts like a magnetic pulling selection indicator 1150 as it is approaching and/or leaving the respective proposed amount indicator's position on the defined path. In some embodiments, in addition to displaying the “snapping” motion of selection indicator 1150 to a proposed amount indicator, electronic device 100 also generates (e.g., using haptic feedback controller 161 and/or haptic feedback module 133) a tactile output when selection indicator 1150 approaches a proposed amount indicator on the defined path.

You can pay this amount now and pay more over the next 6 months.”).

In some embodiments, transfer sheet user interface 2004 includes (e.g., below selectable indication 2006) a rewards indication 2008 indicating the amount (e.g., $26.67) of available rewards (e.g., the available cash back amount). In some embodiments, transfer sheet user interface 2004 includes an indication 2010 of the transfer account (e.g., the first-party credit account; the points account), thereby indicating that a transfer (e.g., a balance payment) from the second transfer account (e.g., a third-party account, such as a third-party checking account) to the transfer account (e.g., the first-party transfer account) is being prepared (e.g., for a balance payment of $1,480.00).

In some embodiments, electronic device 100 also displays transfer sheet user interface 2004 corresponding to the transfer application (e.g., the electronic wallet application) in response to detecting user activation 2035 of affordance 2082 in
Subsequently, electronic device 100 detects a user input 2043 in accordance with transfer instruction 2016 (e.g., a double click or double press of an input button of the electronic device, such as push button 206) and, in response to receiving successful authentication (e.g., successful biometric authentication, such as facial recognition authentication, fingerprint authentication, iris and/or retina scan authentication, voice recognition authentication; or successful passcode or password authentication), in
As described below, method 2100 provides an intuitive way for managing a transfer account. The method reduces the cognitive burden on a user for managing a transfer account, thereby creating a more efficient human-machine interface. For battery-operated computing devices, enabling a user to manage a transfer account faster and more efficiently conserves power and increases the time between battery charges.
The electronic device (e.g., 100) displays (2102), on the display (e.g., 112), a selection user interface (e.g., 1902, 1142) for selecting a numerical value (e.g., corresponding to an amount for a type of operation, such as a transfer (e.g., of funds, credits, points, rewards) or a payment).
The selection user interface (e.g., 1902, 1142) (e.g., concurrently) includes a plurality of indicators (e.g., 1906A-1906E, 1148A-1148E; arranged along a circular, closed-loop user interface element) corresponding to numerical values (2104) (e.g., proposed balance reduction amounts, where the balance is of items of a first type, such as funds, credits, or points), including: a first indicator (e.g., 1906D, 1148D) corresponding to a first numerical value (e.g., a first proposed balance reduction amount, a minimum balance payment amount that avoids a late fee, a balance payment amount that is greater than the minimum payment amount but less than the full statement amount for that period) (2106), and a second indicator (e.g., 1906A-1906C, 1148A-1148C) corresponding to a second numerical value (e.g., a second proposed balance reduction amount, a balance payment amount that is greater than the minimum balance payment amount but less than the full statement amount for that period, or the full statement amount such that additional interest accrual will be avoided) (2108). Displaying the plurality of indicators in the selection user interface provides feedback about recommended transfer amounts and enables the user to quickly and easily select one of the recommended amounts. Providing improved visual feedback to the user enhances the operability of the device and makes the user-device interface more efficient (e.g., by helping the user to provide proper inputs and reducing user mistakes when operating and/or interacting with the device) which, additionally, reduces power usage and improves battery life of the device by enabling the user to use the device more quickly and efficiently.
In some embodiments, the selection user interface (e.g., 1902, 1142) corresponds to a user interface for reducing a balance of a transfer account (e.g., the transfer account as first described above with reference to
In some embodiments, the first numerical value (e.g., a first proposed balance reduction amount) corresponds to a minimum value selectable via the selection user interface (e.g., 1902, 1142) (e.g., a minimum balance payment amount that, if paid, avoids a late fee but does not avoid interest accrual for that period). Providing the first numerical value corresponding to a minimum value selectable via the selection user interface provides feedback about the amount of the minimum value. Providing improved visual feedback to the user enhances the operability of the device and makes the user-device interface more efficient (e.g., by helping the user to provide proper inputs and reducing user mistakes when operating and/or interacting with the device) which, additionally, reduces power usage and improves battery life of the device by enabling the user to use the device more quickly and efficiently.
In some embodiments, the second numerical value (e.g., a second proposed balance reduction amount) corresponds to an intermediate value that is less than a maximum value selectable via the selection user interface (e.g., 1902, 1142) (e.g., a full statement balance reduction amount that corresponds to an outstanding statement balance of a transfer account that, if paid, avoids interest accrual on the outstanding balance of the transfer account). Providing the second numerical value corresponding to an intermediate value that is less than a maximum value selectable via the selection user interface (e.g., a full statement balance reduction amount) enables the user to quickly and easily select the an amount corresponding to the intermediate value. Reducing the number of inputs needed to perform an operation enhances the operability of the device and makes the user-device interface more efficient (e.g., by helping the user to provide proper inputs and reducing user mistakes when operating and/or interacting with the device) which, additionally, reduces power usage and improves battery life of the device by enabling the user to use the device more quickly and efficiently.
In some embodiments, the plurality of indicators further includes (e.g., 1906A-1906E, 1148A-1148E) a third indicator corresponding to a maximum value selectable via the selection user interface (e.g., a full current balance reduction amount corresponding to all of a remaining balance of a transfer account (e.g., higher than the full statement balance reduction amount)) (2110). Providing the third indicator corresponding to the maximum value selectable via the selection user interface enables the user to quickly and easily select the amount corresponding to the maximum value. Reducing the number of inputs needed to perform an operation enhances the operability of the device and makes the user-device interface more efficient (e.g., by helping the user to provide proper inputs and reducing user mistakes when operating and/or interacting with the device) which, additionally, reduces power usage and improves battery life of the device by enabling the user to use the device more quickly and efficiently.
In some embodiments, the plurality of indicators (e.g., 1906A-1906E, 1148A-1148E) further includes a fourth indicator (e.g., 1906A-1906C, 1148B-1148C) corresponding to a fourth numerical value (e.g., a fourth proposed balance reduction amount) that is between the first numerical value (e.g., the first proposed balance reduction amount) and the second numerical value (e.g., the second proposed balance reduction amount), where the fourth numerical value (e.g., the fourth proposed balance reduction amount) corresponds to a full transfer amount of transfers of a first type (e.g., made using a transfer account, where the first type is a category such as shopping, groceries, dining, travel) but does not include a full transfer amount of transfers of a second type (e.g., made using the transfer account, where the second type is a different category from the first type) (2112). Thus, in some embodiments, the plurality of indicators proposes an option to pay off all transactions of a first category (e.g., shopping, groceries, travel), leaving payments for other types of categories for future payment periods. Providing the fourth indicator corresponding to a fourth numerical value that is between the first numerical value and the second numerical value, where the fourth numerical value corresponds to a full transfer amount of transfers of a first type but does not include a full transfer amount of transfers of a second type enables the user to quickly and easily select the amount corresponding to the fourth numerical value. Reducing the number of inputs needed to perform an operation enhances the operability of the device and makes the user-device interface more efficient (e.g., by helping the user to provide proper inputs and reducing user mistakes when operating and/or interacting with the device) which, additionally, reduces power usage and improves battery life of the device by enabling the user to use the device more quickly and efficiently.
In some embodiments, the plurality of indicators (e.g., 1906A, 1906E, 1148A-1148E) further includes a fifth indicator corresponding to a fifth numerical value (e.g., a fifth proposed balance reduction amount) that is greater than a minimum value selectable via the selection user interface (e.g., 1902, 1142) (e.g., a minimum balance payment amount that, if paid, avoids a late fee but does not avoid interest accrual for that period) and less than a maximum value selectable via the selection user interface (e.g., a full statement balance reduction amount that corresponds to an outstanding statement balance of a transfer account that, if paid, avoids interest accrual on the outstanding balance of the transfer account), where the fifth numerical value corresponds to a first transfer amount (e.g., for reducing at least a portion of a balance of a transfer account) which, when made over a first duration of time (e.g., 3 months, 6 months), satisfies (e.g., fulfills, reduces, pays off) a maximum transfer amount (e.g., the full balance of the transfer account) within the first duration of time. Providing the fifth indicator corresponding to the fifth numerical value that is greater than a minimum value selectable via the selection user interface and less than a maximum value selectable via the selection user interface, where the fifth numerical value corresponds to a first transfer amount which, when made over a first duration of time, satisfies a maximum transfer amount within the first duration of time enables the user to quickly and easily select the amount corresponding to the fourth numerical value. Reducing the number of inputs needed to perform an operation enhances the operability of the device and makes the user-device interface more efficient (e.g., by helping the user to provide proper inputs and reducing user mistakes when operating and/or interacting with the device) which, additionally, reduces power usage and improves battery life of the device by enabling the user to use the device more quickly and efficiently.
In some embodiments, the plurality of indicators (e.g., 1906A-1906E, 1148A-1148E) further includes a sixth indicator corresponding to a sixth numerical value (e.g., a sixth proposed balance reduction amount) that is greater than the minimum value selectable via the selection user interface (e.g., 1902, 1142) (e.g., a minimum balance payment amount that, if paid, avoids a late fee but does not avoid interest accrual for that period) and less than the fifth numerical value, where the sixth numerical value corresponds to a second transfer amount (e.g., for reducing at least a portion of a balance of a transfer account) which, when made over a second duration of time (e.g., 6 months, 1 year), satisfies (e.g., fulfills, reduces, pays off) a maximum transfer amount (e.g., the full balance of the transfer account) within the second duration of time, where the second duration of time is longer than the first duration of time. Providing the sixth indicator corresponding to the sixth numerical value that is greater than the minimum value selectable via the selection user interface and less than the fifth numerical value, where the sixth numerical value corresponds to a second transfer amount which, when made over a second duration of time, satisfies a maximum transfer amount within the second duration of time, where the second duration of time is longer than the first duration of time enables the user to quickly and easily select the amount corresponding to the fourth numerical value. Reducing the number of inputs needed to perform an operation enhances the operability of the device and makes the user-device interface more efficient (e.g., by helping the user to provide proper inputs and reducing user mistakes when operating and/or interacting with the device) which, additionally, reduces power usage and improves battery life of the device by enabling the user to use the device more quickly and efficiently.
In some embodiments, the second numerical value (the second proposed balance reduction amount; a balance payment amount that is greater than the minimum balance payment amount but less than the full statement amount for that period, or an amount such that additional interest accrual will be avoided) is greater than the first numerical value (e.g., a first proposed balance reduction amount; a minimum balance payment amount that avoids a late fee, a balance payment amount that is greater than the minimum payment amount but less than the full statement amount for that period), where the plurality of indicators (e.g., 1906A-1906E, 1148A-1148E) corresponding to numerical values further includes a third indicator corresponding to a fourth numerical value (e.g., a fourth proposed balance reduction amount; the full statement amount for that period, the full current balance amount) that is greater than the second numerical value and an intermediate indicator corresponding to an intermediate numerical value (e.g., an intermediate proposed balance reduction amount that is between the first proposed balance reduction amount and the second proposed balance reduction amount; a suggested amount that would help to enable the user to reduce the balance amount in an organized, planned manner). In some embodiments, in accordance with a determination that an amount of space between a value corresponding to the first indicator and a value corresponding to the second indicator is above a threshold size (e.g., greater than an amount of space between the value corresponding to the second indicator and a value corresponding to the third indicator) (e.g., based on a comparison of a first distance between the first indicator and the second indicator along a defined path (e.g., a circular path that includes the plurality of indicators along the circular path) and a second distance between the second indicator and the third indicator along the defined path (e.g., the first distance is greater than the second distance)), the electronic device displays the intermediate indicator between the first indicator and the second indicator in the selection user interface along the defined path, where the intermediate numerical value is greater than the first numerical value and less than the second numerical value. In some embodiments, in accordance with a determination that an amount of space between the value corresponding to the first indicator and the value corresponding to the second indicator is below the threshold size (e.g., less than an amount of space between the value corresponding to the second indicator and the value corresponding to the third indicator), the electronic device displays the intermediate indicator between the second indicator and the third indicator in the selection user interface along the defined path, where the intermediate numerical value is greater than the second numerical value and less than the fourth numerical value. In some embodiments, the technique determines whether to place an indicator along a portion of the path (e.g., between first and second indicators, between second and third indicators) when that portion of the path is longer than a threshold amount. Thus, indicators are not placed along portions of path that are less than the threshold amount in length.
In some embodiments, the electronic device (e.g., 100) displays the plurality of indicators (e.g., 1906A-1906E, 1148A-1148E) along a defined path (e.g., 1904, 1146; a circular, closed-loop path) in the selection user interface (e.g., 1142). Displaying the plurality of indicators along the defined path in the selection user interface allows the user to quickly and easily select different amounts, including those corresponding to the indicators, using the selection user interface. Reducing the number of inputs needed to perform an operation enhances the operability of the device and makes the user-device interface more efficient (e.g., by helping the user to provide proper inputs and reducing user mistakes when operating and/or interacting with the device) which, additionally, reduces power usage and improves battery life of the device by enabling the user to use the device more quickly and efficiently.
In some embodiments, the defined path includes a first point corresponding to a minimum numerical value (e.g., a minimum selectable balance reduction or payment amount), a second point corresponding to a maximum numerical value (e.g., the full balance amount), and a plurality of points along the path that correspond to numerical values ranging from the minimum numerical value to the maximum numerical value, and the second point corresponding to the maximum numerical value is the same without regard to the current maximum numerical value. In some embodiments, the maximum numerical value corresponds to a balance (e.g., a current full balance) of a transfer account (e.g., the transfer account as first described above with reference to
The selection user interface (e.g., 1142) (e.g., concurrently) includes a selection indicator (e.g., 1908, 1150) for moving among the plurality of indicators (e.g., 1906A-1906E, 1148A-1148E) (2114). The selection indicator allows the user to quickly and easily select different amounts, including those corresponding to the indicators, using the selection user interface. Reducing the number of inputs needed to perform an operation enhances the operability of the device and makes the user-device interface more efficient (e.g., by helping the user to provide proper inputs and reducing user mistakes when operating and/or interacting with the device) which, additionally, reduces power usage and improves battery life of the device by enabling the user to use the device more quickly and efficiently.
While displaying the selection user interface (e.g., 1902, 1142), the electronic device (e.g., 100) detects (2116), via the one or more input devices, a user input (e.g., a touch-and-drag input (e.g., made by a finger of a user of the device) detected via a touch-sensitive surface of the electronic device) directed to causing the selection indicator (e.g., 1908, 1150) to transition on the selection user interface.
In response to detecting the user input directed to causing the selection indicator (e.g., 1150) to transition on the selection user interface (e.g., 1902, 1142) (2118), in accordance with a determination that the user input caused the selection indicator to transition to a location corresponding to the first indicator (e.g., 1906D, 1148D), the electronic device (e.g., 100) displays (2120), on the display (e.g., 112), an amount (e.g., a numerical value, such funds, points, or credits) corresponding to the first numerical value. Displaying the amount corresponding to the first numerical value in accordance with the determination that the user input caused the selection indicator to transition to a location corresponding to the first indicator enables the user to quickly and easily view the amount of the first numerical value. Providing improved visual feedback to the user enhances the operability of the device and makes the user-device interface more efficient (e.g., by helping the user to provide proper inputs and reducing user mistakes when operating and/or interacting with the device) which, additionally, reduces power usage and improves battery life of the device by enabling the user to use the device more quickly and efficiently.

Displaying the amount corresponding to the second numerical value in accordance with a determination that the user input caused the selection indicator to transition to a location corresponding to the second indicator enables the user to quickly and easily view the amount of the second numerical value. Providing improved visual feedback to the user enhances the operability of the device and makes the user-device interface more efficient (e.g., by helping the user to provide proper inputs and reducing user mistakes when operating and/or interacting with the device) which, additionally, reduces power usage and improves battery life of the device by enabling the user to use the device more quickly and efficiently.
In response to detecting the user input directed to causing the selection indicator (e.g., 1150) to transition on the selection user interface (e.g., 1902, 1142) (2118), in accordance with a determination that the user input caused the selection indicator to transition to a location that does not correspond to an indicator of the plurality of indicators (e.g., 1906A-1906E, 1148A-1148E), the electronic device (e.g., 100) displays (2124), on the display (e.g., 112), a third numerical value based on the location of the selection indicator that does not correspond to an indicator of the plurality of indicators. Displaying the amount corresponding to the third numerical value in accordance with the determination that the user input caused the selection indicator to transition to a location that does not correspond to an indicator of the plurality of indicators enables the user to quickly and easily recognize the amount of the third numerical value and to recognize that a value that does not correspond to an indicator is selectable. Providing improved visual feedback to the user enhances the operability of the device and makes the user-device interface more efficient (e.g., by helping the user to provide proper inputs and reducing user mistakes when operating and/or interacting with the device) which, additionally, reduces power usage and improves battery life of the device by enabling the user to use the device more quickly and efficiently.
In some embodiments, in response to detecting the user input causing the selection indicator (e.g., 1908, 1150) to transition on the selection user interface (e.g., 1902, 1142) (2118), in accordance with a determination that the user input caused the selection indicator to transition to a location that is within a predefined threshold distance of a respective indicator of the plurality of indicators (e.g., 1906A-1906E, 1148A-1148E), the electronic device (e.g., 100) selects (2126) a value corresponding to the respective indicator as the selected value. In some embodiments, the electronic device displays a visual indication of snapping (e.g., when the selection indicator is within a threshold distance to the location of a respective indicator when the devices detects a liftoff of the user input, the selection indicator transitions to the location of the respective indicator when the user input lifts off of the touch-sensitive surface) of the selection indicator to the location corresponding to the respective indicator. Displaying the visual indication of snapping of the selection indicator to the location of a respective indicator provides feedback that the indicators correspond to values that are recommended by the device. Providing improved visual feedback to the user enhances the operability of the device and makes the user-device interface more efficient (e.g., by helping the user to provide proper inputs and reducing user mistakes when operating and/or interacting with the device) which, additionally, reduces power usage and improves battery life of the device by enabling the user to use the device more quickly and efficiently.
In some embodiments, in response to detecting the user input causing the selection indicator (e.g., 1908, 1150) to transition on the selection user interface (e.g., 1902, 1142) (2118), in accordance with a determination that the user input caused the selection indicator to transition to a location that is not within the predefined threshold distance of any of the plurality of indicators, the electronic device (e.g., 100) selects (2128) a value that corresponds to the location and does not correspond to any of the plurality of indicators as the selected value. In some embodiments, the electronic device forgoes displaying the visual snapping (e.g., the selection indicator does not transition locations after the device detects a liftoff of the user input) of the selection indicator). Forgoing the visual snapping in accordance with the determination that the user input caused the selection indicator to transition to a location that is not within the predefined threshold distance of any of the plurality of indicators provides feedback that the current location of the selection indicator does not correspond to any recommended values. Providing improved visual feedback to the user enhances the operability of the device and makes the user-device interface more efficient (e.g., by helping the user to provide proper inputs and reducing user mistakes when operating and/or interacting with the device) which, additionally, reduces power usage and improves battery life of the device by enabling the user to use the device more quickly and efficiently.
In some embodiments, the electronic device (e.g., 100) generates non-visual (e.g., tactile and/or audio) output when selecting a value corresponding on the respective indicator and forgoes generating the non-visual output (e.g., 2002) when selecting a value that does not correspond to any of the plurality of indicators (e.g., tactile output corresponding to the visual snapping). Generating non-visual output provides further feedback that the indicators correspond to values that are recommended by the device. Providing improved feedback to the user enhances the operability of the device and makes the user-device interface more efficient (e.g., by helping the user to provide proper inputs and reducing user mistakes when operating and/or interacting with the device) which, additionally, reduces power usage and improves battery life of the device by enabling the user to use the device more quickly and efficiently.
In some embodiments, in response to detecting the user input causing the selection indicator (e.g., 1908, 1150) to transition between the first indicator and the second indicator (and in the direction towards the second indicator along the defined path), the electronic device (e.g., 100) displays (2130), in a first portion of the path (e.g., 1904, 1146) (e.g., and including the selection indicator), visual feedback with a first color (e.g., from the beginning (e.g., top) of a closed-loop (e.g., circular) user interface element towards, in a clockwise direction along the user interface element, the first indicator). Displaying the visual feedback with the first color provides feedback about a state and/or effect of the currently-selected value (e.g., whether the currently-selected value will lead to penalties, lead to an avoidance of penalties, or lead to a reduction of accumulating penalties). Providing improved visual feedback to the user enhances the operability of the device and makes the user-device interface more efficient (e.g., by helping the user to provide proper inputs and reducing user mistakes when operating and/or interacting with the device) which, additionally, reduces power usage and improves battery life of the device by enabling the user to use the device more quickly and efficiently. In some embodiments, in response to detecting the user input causing the selection indicator to transition beyond the second indicator along the path (e.g., from the first indicator on the circular user interface element towards, in a clockwise direction along the user interface element, the second indicator), the electronic device displays (2132), in the first portion and a second portion of the path (e.g., more than the first portion, and including the selection indicator), visual feedback with a second color different from the first color. Displaying the visual feedback with the second color different from the first color provides feedback about a state and/or effect of the currently-selected value (e.g., whether the currently-selected value will lead to penalties, lead to an avoidance of penalties, or lead to a reduction of accumulating penalties). Providing improved visual feedback to the user enhances the operability of the device and makes the user-device interface more efficient (e.g., by helping the user to provide proper inputs and reducing user mistakes when operating/interacting with the device) which, additionally, reduces power usage and improves battery life of the device by enabling the user to use the device more quickly and efficiently.
In some embodiments, while detecting the user input causing the selection indicator (e.g., 1150) to continue transitioning along the defined path (e.g., 1904, 1146) past the second indicator and towards a third indicator (e.g., from the second indicator towards, in a clockwise direction along the circular user interface element, the third indicator), the electronic device (e.g., 100) displays (2134), in the first portion, the second portion, and a third portion of the defined path (e.g., more than the first and second portion, and including the selection indicator), visual feedback with a third color different from the first color and the second color. Displaying the visual feedback with the third color different from the first color and the second color provides feedback about a state and/or effect of the currently-selected value (e.g., whether the currently-selected value will lead to penalties, lead to an avoidance of penalties, or lead to a reduction of accumulating penalties). Providing improved visual feedback to the user enhances the operability of the device and makes the user-device interface more efficient (e.g., by helping the user to provide proper inputs and reducing user mistakes when operating and/or interacting with the device) which, additionally, reduces power usage and improves battery life of the device by enabling the user to use the device more quickly and efficiently.
In some embodiments, in accordance with a determination that the selection indicator (e.g., 1908, 1150) is being moved along the defined path (e.g., 1904, 1146) near the second indicator (e.g., is near the first indicator), the electronic device (e.g., 100) displays (2136) (e.g., a gradual, continuous) a transition of the visual feedback from the first color to the second color.
In some embodiments, in accordance with a determination that the selection indicator (e.g., 1908, 1150) is being moved along the defined path (e.g., 1904, 1146) such that it approaches and then passes the second indicator (e.g., is near the second indicator) and moves towards a third indicator, the electronic device (e.g., 100) displays (2138) (e.g., a gradual, continuous) a transition of the visual feedback from the second color to the third color.
In some embodiments, in response to detecting the user input causing the selection indicator (e.g., 1908, 1150) to transition on the selection user interface (2118), in accordance with the determination that the user input caused the selection indicator to transition to the location corresponding to the first indicator, the electronic device (e.g., 100) displays (2140), in the selection indicator, a first type of graphical indicator (e.g., an exclamation mark). In some embodiments, in response to detecting the user input causing the selection indicator to transition on the selection user interface (2118), in accordance with the determination that the user input caused the selection indicator to transition to the location corresponding to the second indicator, the electronic device (e.g., 100) displays (2142), in the selection indicator, a second type of graphical indicator (e.g., a checkmark) different from the first type. In some embodiments, in accordance with the determination that the user input caused the selection indicator to transition to the location that does not correspond to an indicator of the plurality of indicators, the electronic device forgoes displaying, in the selection indicator, a graphical indicator. In some embodiments, in accordance with a determination that the user input caused the selection indicator to transition to a location corresponding to the third indicator, the electronic device displays, in the selection indicator, a third type of graphical indicator (e.g., a star) different from the first type and the second type. Displaying different types of graphical indicators or forgoing to display the graphical indicator based on the location of the selection indicator provides further feedback about a state and/or effect of the currently-selected value (e.g., whether the currently-selected value will lead to penalties, lead to an avoidance of penalties, or lead to a reduction of accumulating penalties). Providing improved visual feedback to the user enhances the operability of the device and makes the user-device interface more efficient (e.g., by helping the user to provide proper inputs and reducing user mistakes when operating and/or interacting with the device) which, additionally, reduces power usage and improves battery life of the device by enabling the user to use the device more quickly and efficiently.
In some embodiments, the electronic device (e.g., 100) displays (2144), in the selection user interface (e.g., 1902, 1142), an alert (e.g., within a circular user element that defines a path of movement of the selection indicator), that includes information based on a currently selected value (e.g., corresponding to a current location of the selection indicator along a defined path of movement (e.g., a closed-loop (e.g., circular) user interface element) for the selection indicator within the user interface). In some embodiments, in accordance with a determination that the value corresponds to a balance reduction amount that is less than a predetermined threshold amount (e.g., an amount required to avoid interest accrual (e.g., if the selected balance payment amount is less than the statement amount for that period)), the electronic device displays (2146), in the alert, an amount different from the selected amount that is determined based on the selected amount (e.g. an interest accrual amount that will result from the respective balance reduction amount (e.g., the amount of interest that will accrue as a result of not paying off the full statement amount)). Displaying the alert that includes information based on the currently selected value provides further feedback about a state and/or effect of the currently-selected value (e.g., whether the currently-selected value will lead to penalties, lead to an avoidance of penalties, or lead to a reduction of accumulating penalties). Providing improved visual feedback to the user enhances the operability of the device and makes the user-device interface more efficient (e.g., by helping the user to provide proper inputs and reducing user mistakes when operating/interacting with the device) which, additionally, reduces power usage and improves battery life of the device by enabling the user to use the device more quickly and efficiently.
In some embodiments, the selection user interface (e.g., 1902, 1142) includes a (e.g., closed-loop (e.g., circular)) user interface element (e.g., 1146) that is at least partly curved (e.g., and is optionally a closed path such as a circle, ellipse, or oval), the selection indicator (e.g., 1908, 1150) can be dragged along (e.g., at least a portion of) a defined path of the circular user interface element, and the plurality of indicators are displayed along the defined path of circular user interface element. Displaying the user interface element that is at least partly curved and the selection indicator within the defined path of the circular user interface element enables the user to recognize that the selection dictator can be moved along the defined path quickly and easily to change the selected value. Reducing the number of inputs needed to perform an operation enhances the operability of the device and makes the user-device interface more efficient (e.g., by helping the user to provide proper inputs and reducing user mistakes when operating and/or interacting with the device) which, additionally, reduces power usage and improves battery life of the device by enabling the user to use the device more quickly and efficiently. In some embodiments, the selection indicator cannot be dragged to/along a portion of the circular user interface element that would correspond to a balance reduction amount that is below a minimum balance reduction amount.
In some embodiments, the electronic device (e.g., 100) displays, on the display (e.g., 112), an activity history user interface (e.g., showing a balance reduction or payment history for a transfer account) that includes a plurality of representations of past operations of a first type (e.g., past balance reduction transfers, past balance payments, past points balance reduction transfers), where a representation of a past operation of the first type (e.g., past balance reduction transfers, past balance payments, past points balance reduction transfers) includes a respective circular user interface element that includes: a respective selection indicator located within the respective circular user interface based on a numerical value (e.g., an amount) of the corresponding past operation of the first type (e.g., the past balance reduction transfers, the past balance payments, the past points balance reduction transfers), and a visual feedback of a respective color selected based on the numerical value of the corresponding past operation of the first type.
In some embodiments, the electronic device (e.g., 100) displays (2148), in the user interface (e.g., 1902, 1142), a first affordance (e.g., 1916, 1162, 2048; a “pay now” affordance) for proceeding with an operation of a first type (e.g., a balance reduction transfer, a balance payment) at a present time (e.g., proceeding with paying at least a portion of the current balance immediately) and a second affordance (e.g., 1914, 1160, 2046; a “pay later” affordance) for proceeding with the operation of the first type (e.g., the balance reduction or balance payment) at a future time (e.g., setting a future time and/or date for paying off at least a portion of the current balance). Displaying the first affordance and the second affordance in the user interface allows the user to quickly and easily to initiate an immediate or future transfer. Providing additional control options without cluttering the UI with additional displayed controls enhances the operability of the device and makes the user-device interface more efficient (e.g., by helping the user to provide proper inputs and reducing user mistakes when operating and/or interacting with the device) which, additionally, reduces power usage and improves battery life of the device by enabling the user to use the device more quickly and efficiently.
In some embodiments, while displaying the first affordance (e.g., 1916, 1162, 2048) for proceeding with the operation of the first type (e.g., a balance reduction transfer, a balance payment) at the present time, the electronic device (e.g., 100) detects (2150) (e.g., via an input device of the electronic device, such as a touch-sensitive surface) a selection of the first affordance. In some embodiments, in response to detecting the selection of the first affordance, the electronic device (e.g., 100) displays (2152), on the display (e.g., 112), an authentication user interface (e.g., 2004) for authorizing (e.g., via biometric authentication, such as facial recognition authentication, fingerprint authentication, iris and/or retina scan authentication, and/or voice recognition authentication; via passcode or password authentication) the transfer of a respective balance reduction amount. In some embodiments, the authentication user interface corresponds to a secure transfer or payment application that can only be accessed by the operating system of the device and cannot be accessed by a third-party application. In some embodiments, displaying the authentication user interface comprises displaying the authentication user interface over a portion of the user interface corresponding to the transfer account such that at least a portion of the user interface corresponding to the transfer account is still visible on the display. Displaying the authentication user interface that can only be accessed by the operating system of the device and cannot be accessed by a third-party application improves security by blocking access to the authentication user interface from third parties and third-party applications. Enhancing security features of the device enhances the operability of the device by making the device more secure, which in turn enables the user to use the device more efficiently and frequently.
In some embodiments, while displaying the authentication user interface (e.g., 2004), the electronic device (e.g., 100) detects (2154) (e.g., via an input device of the electronic device, such as a touch-sensitive surface) a user selection of an affordance (e.g., 2006) for selecting a default balance transfer account (e.g., a default account used for balance payments, such as a checking account) for use towards the respective balance reduction amount (e.g., used to pay off a balance of the transfer account). In some embodiments, in response to detecting the affordance for selecting the default balance transfer account, the electronic device (e.g., 100) displays (2156), on the display (e.g., 112), a selector (e.g., 2024; a toggle with on/off states) for setting using an available redeem balance (e.g., a cash back balance, a points balance, a rewards balance) corresponding to the transfer account prior to using the default transfer account towards the respective balance reduction amount.
In some embodiments, while displaying the second affordance (e.g., 1914, 1160, 2046) for proceeding with the operation of the first type (e.g., the balance reduction transfer, the balance payment) at the future time, the electronic device (e.g., 100) detects (2158) (e.g., via an input device of the electronic device, such as a touch-sensitive surface) a selection of the second affordance. In some embodiments, in response to detecting the selection of the second affordance, the electronic device (e.g., 100) displays (2160), on the display (e.g., 112), a scheduling user interface (e.g., 2050) for scheduling an automatic future operation of the first type (e.g., an automatic future transfer of a respective balance reduction amount) having a set numerical value.
In some embodiments, while displaying the scheduling user interface (e.g., 2050), the electronic device (e.g., 100) detects (2162) (e.g., via an input device of the electronic device, such as a touch-sensitive surface) a user input directed to changing a future date for proceeding with the operation of the first type (e.g., for proceeding with the transfer of the respective balance reduction amount). In some embodiments, while detecting the user input directed to changing the future date, the electronic device (e.g., 100) updates (2164) a displayed time-based numerical value accumulation amount (e.g., 2058; an interest accrual amount on a remaining balance of a transfer account) based on the selected future date. In some embodiments, the scheduling user interface (e.g., 2050) includes a wheel-of-time user interface element (e.g., 2052) for changing the selected date by scrolling through available dates within the wheel. In some embodiments, the wheel-of-time user interface element includes a plurality of selectable times and/or dates that can be scrolled or rotated (e.g., in a vertical direction) via user input relative to a selection indictor, where the time and/or date that is shown in the selection indicator corresponds to the currently-selected time and/or date. In some embodiments, in the wheel-of-time user interface element, a subset of (but not all of) the plurality of selectable times and/or dates as displayed-selectable times and/or dates can be moved off of and moved in to the user interface element (e.g., from a top and bottom edge of the user interface element) as the times and/or dates are scrolled or rotated in response to the user input. In some embodiments, the electronic device continually updates the displayed interest accrual amount based on or in response to changes in the selected future date. Continually updating the displayed penalty amount (e.g., the interest accrual amount) based on or in response to changes in the selected future date enables the user to quickly and easily view changes in the penalty amount based on the selected date. Providing improved visual feedback to the user enhances the operability of the device and makes the user-device interface more efficient (e.g., by helping the user to provide proper inputs and reducing user mistakes when operating and/or interacting with the device) which, additionally, reduces power usage and improves battery life of the device by enabling the user to use the device more quickly and efficiently.
In some embodiments, the electronic device (e.g., 100) displays, in the user interface (e.g., 1902, 1142), a third affordance (e.g., 1918, 1164; a “use keypad” affordance) for entering a balance reduction amount using a displayed keypad. In some embodiments, while displaying the third affordance for entering a balance reduction amount using a displayed keypad, the electronic device detects (e.g., via an input device of the electronic device, such as a touch-sensitive surface) a user selection of the third affordance. In some embodiments, in response to detecting the user selection of the third affordance, the electronic device displays, a keypad user interface (e.g., 2032) that can be used to enter a balance reduction amount that cannot be selected using the selection indicator (e.g., an amount that is smaller than a minimum payment amount). In some embodiments, the keypad user interface includes a plurality of proposed balance reduction amounts (e.g., 2038A-2038C) corresponding to the proposed balance reduction amounts provided in the user interface corresponding to the transfer account. In some embodiments, the keypad user interface includes an indication (e.g., 2042) of current interest accrual. In some embodiments, the keypad user interface includes a graphical indication (e.g., 2040) of the selected balance reduction amount that is similar to a user interface element corresponding to the selection indicator that is shown in the user interface corresponding to the transfer account.
In some embodiments, subsequent to (or in response to) detecting a transfer of a balance reduction amount made via the user interface (e.g., 1902, 1142), the electronic device (e.g., 100) displays (2166), on the display (e.g., 112), a notification (e.g., 879, 2062) including a reminder to setup automatic future balance reduction transfers (e.g., automatic recurring balance payments, automatic recurring points balance reduction transfers). Displaying the notification including the reminder to setup automatic future balance reduction transfers reminds the user that automatic balance reduction transfers can be setup. Providing improved visual feedback to the user enhances the operability of the device and makes the user-device interface more efficient (e.g., by helping the user to provide proper inputs and reducing user mistakes when operating and/or interacting with the device) which, additionally, reduces power usage and improves battery life of the device by enabling the user to use the device more quickly and efficiently.
In some embodiments, in response to detecting a user selection of the notification, the electronic device (e.g., 100) enables the setup of monthly balance reduction transfers, where the date of the month for the monthly transfers is selectable by a user of the device. In some embodiments, in response to detecting a user selection of the notification, the electronic device (e.g., 100) enables the setup of more frequent repeat balance reduction transfers (e.g., weekly, bi-monthly), where the frequency of the transfers and/or an amount of each transfer is selectable by a user of the device.
In some embodiments, while displaying the notification (e.g., 879, 2062), the electronic device (e.g., 100) detects (2168) a user selection of the notification. In some embodiments, in response to detecting the user selection of the notification, the electronic device (e.g., 100) displays (2170), on the display (e.g., 112): a first selectable option (e.g., 2066) for initiating a setup of a full balance reduction transfer (e.g., a payment of all of the current statement balance) (2172), and a second selectable option (e.g., 2068) for initiating a setup of a partial balance reduction transfer (e.g., a payment of a portion of, but not all of, the current statement balance) (2174). In some embodiments, while displaying the first selectable option and the second selectable option, the electronic device (e.g., 100) receives (2176) a user input. In some embodiments, subsequent to (or in response to) receiving the user input (2178), in accordance with a determination that the user input is directed to the first selectable option, the electronic device (e.g., 100) enables (2180) automatic transfers of a full amount of a remaining balance (e.g., the full statement balance) during a respective balance due period (e.g., a statement period, each month), where one balance reduction transfer of the full amount of the remaining balance is made during the respective balance due period. In some embodiments, subsequent to (or in response to) receiving the user input (2178), in accordance with a determination that the user input is directed to the second selectable option, the electronic device (e.g., 100) enables (2182) automatic transfers of a partial amount of the remaining balance during the respective balance due period, where one or more balance reduction transfers of the partial amount of the remaining balance are made during the respective balance due period.
In some embodiments, the numerical values correspond to an amount of computer storage for which data is stored onto the computer storage.
In some embodiments, the numerical value that is selected via the selection user interface corresponds to a portion of the amount of computer storage for which data is stored onto the computer storage, where data corresponding to the portion of the amount of computer storage is to be deleted from the computer storage.
In some embodiments, the numerical values correspond to an amount of financial resources that have been used to make purchases.
In some embodiments, the numerical value that is selected via the selection user interface corresponds to a portion of the amount of financial resources that have been used to make purchases, where the portion of the amount of financial resources is to be restored to a use quota that is set for using the financial resources.
Note that details of the processes described above with respect to method 2100 (e.g.,
In some embodiments, authentication credential user interface 2202 includes an indication 2204 of an enabled authentication credential (e.g., a current, active, and/or enabled virtual account number for the user account), an indication 2206 of an expiry date of the enabled authentication credential, and an indication 2208 of a verification code (e.g., a verification number corresponding to the enabled authentication credential).
In some embodiments, the authentication credential (e.g., virtual account number) can be used (e.g., together with the corresponding expiry date and verification code) to authorize access to the computer storage resources of the user account (e.g., a computer storage account) by entering the authentication credential and, if needed, the expiry date and verification code, to access the computer storage resources associated with the user account (e.g., on a public computer or a third-party device where the user account cannot directly be used to access the computer storage resources associated with the user account).
In some embodiments, authentication credential user interface 2202 includes an affordance 2210 for requesting a new authentication credential (e.g., a new virtual account number) for the user account (e.g., a computer storage account). For example, a new authentication credential may be requested if the current authentication credential is compromised (e.g., is no longer secure).
In some embodiments, authentication credential user interface 2202 includes a selectable option 2212 for updating a local storage account or local archive account (e.g., a local backup account) that is linked to the user account (e.g., a cloud-based computer storage account). In some embodiments, data that is stored on the computer storage resources associated with the user account (e.g., a cloud-based computer storage account) can also be stored and/or archived in or backed-up on a linked local storage account or local archived account.
In some embodiments, authentication credential user interface 2202 includes a selectable option 2214 for requesting an increase in the use quota of the user account (e.g., a computer storage account), thus enabling an increase in the amount of computer storage resources associated with the user account.
In some embodiments, authentication credential user interface 2202 includes options for enabling or disabling different types of notifications concerning the user account (e.g., a computer storage account). In some embodiments, authentication credential user interface 2202 includes a selectable indicator 2216 (e.g., a toggle button) for enabling or disabling general notifications concerning the user account (e.g., new data storage activity, data deletion activity, use quota penalties). In some embodiments, authentication credential user interface 2202 includes a selectable indicator 2218 (e.g., a toggle button) for enabling or disabling promotion notifications concerning the user account (e.g., promotions for use quota bonuses).
In some embodiments, authentication credential user interface 2202 includes an affordance 2220 for reporting that a physical account object (e.g., a physical, real-world card) connected with the user account (e.g., a computer storage account), which is described in greater detail below with reference to
In some embodiments, in response to detecting a user activation of affordance 2210 to request the new authentication credential, the new authentication credential for the user account (e.g., a computer storage account) is immediately enabled and available to be used to access the computer storage resources associated with the user account.

In some embodiments, the authentication credential (e.g., virtual account number, virtual card number) can be used (e.g., together with the associated expiry date and verification number) to authorize transfers (e.g., payment transactions; points transfers) using the transfer account (e.g., the first-party credit account; the points account) by providing the authentication credential (e.g., virtual account number, virtual card number) and, if needed, the expiry date and verification number, to proceed with the transfer. For example, the authentication credential can be provided in response to a request for account information (e.g., credit card information, bank account information) to proceed with an online transfer (e.g., an online payment transaction; an online points transfer) using the transfer account. For another example, the authentication credential can be provided in response to a request for account information (e.g., credit card information, bank account information) to proceed with an offline, paper-based transfer (e.g., payment transactions that involve writing down account information, such as credit card information, to perform the transaction) using the transfer account.
In some embodiments, authentication credential user interface 2306 includes an affordance 2314 for requesting a new authentication credential (e.g., a new virtual account number, a new virtual card number) connected to the transfer account (e.g., the first-party credit account; the points account). For example, a new authentication credential may be requested if the current authentication credential is compromised (e.g., is no longer secure).
In some embodiments, authentication credential user interface 2306 includes a selectable option 2316 for updating second transfer account information (e.g., a third-party account, such as a third-party checking account) that is linked to the transfer account (e.g., the first-party credit account; the points account) for balance transfers (e.g., used to provide funds for balance payments, used to provide points for points balance reduction transfers). In some embodiments, authentication credential user interface 2306 includes a selectable option 2318 for requesting a limit increase (e.g., a credit line increase, a spending limit increase) on the transfer account (e.g., the first-party credit account; the points account).
In some embodiments, authentication credential user interface 2306 includes a notifications region 2320 that includes options for enabling or disabling different types of notifications concerning the transfer account (e.g., the first-party credit account; the points account). In some embodiments, notifications region 2320 includes a selectable indicator 2322A (e.g., a toggle button) for enabling or disabling general notifications concerning the transfer account (e.g., account activity, transfers made using the transfer account). In some embodiments, notifications region 2320 includes a selectable indicator 2322B (e.g., a toggle button) for enabling or disabling promotion notifications concerning the transfer account (e.g., promotions displayed in notification user interface element 879 of summary user interface 887 of the transfer account).
In some embodiments, authentication credential user interface 2306 includes an affordance 2324 for reporting that a physical account object (e.g., a physical, real-world card) connected with the transfer account (e.g., the first-party credit account; the points account), which is described in greater detail below with reference to
Subsequent to displaying notification 2328 indicating the unusual activity on the transfer account (e.g., the first-party transfer account), electronic device 100 detects user input directed to navigating to authentication credential user interface 2306.

In some embodiments, in response to detecting user activation 2305 of affordance 2314 for requesting a new authentication credential (e.g., a new virtual account number, a new virtual card number) connected to the transfer account (e.g., the first-party credit account; the points account), electronic device 100 (e.g., immediately) initiates a process for disabling the previous authentication credential from being authorized to use in transfers (e.g., payment transactions; points transfers) using the transfer account (e.g., the first-party credit account; the points account).
As described below, method 2400 provides an intuitive way for managing a transfer account. The method reduces the cognitive burden on a user for managing a transfer account, thereby creating a more efficient human-machine interface. For battery-operated computing devices, enabling a user to manage a transfer account faster and more efficiently conserves power and increases the time between battery charges.
The electronic device (e.g., 100) displays (2402), on the display (e.g., 112), a user interface (e.g., 2302) corresponding to a transfer account (e.g., the transfer account as first described above with reference to
While displaying the user interface (e.g., 2302), the electronic device (e.g., 100) detects (2404), via the one or more input devices, input (e.g., 2303) requesting an authentication credential corresponding to the transfer account.
In response to detecting the input (e.g., 2303), the electronic device (e.g., 100) displays (2406), on the display (e.g. 112), a first authentication credential (e.g., 2204, 2308; a first virtual authentication number, a first virtual account number) corresponding to the transfer account, where the first authentication credential is (e.g., only) valid for transfers that do not use the device-specific authentication process. Providing the first authentication credential corresponding to the transfer account, where the first authentication credential is valid for transfers that do not use the device-specific authentication process enables the user to still use the transfer account even for transfers that do not use the device-specific authentication process. Providing additional control options enhances the operability of the device by enabling the user to use the device in more diverse situations, thus allowing the user to use the device more efficiently.
Subsequent to (or in response to) displaying the first authentication credential (e.g., 2204, 2308), the electronic device (e.g., 100) receives (2408), via the one or more input devices, a request (e.g., 2305) for a new authentication credential corresponding to the transfer account. In some embodiments, a user of the electronic device (e.g., 100) makes the request for the new authentication credential because the first authentication credential is no longer secure.
In some embodiments, the device-specific authentication process remains available to be used to enable transfers via the transfer account after receiving the request (e.g., 2305) for the new authentication credential (2410). That is, in some embodiments, the device-specific authentication process is still available to be used to enable transfers via the transfer account even after receiving the request for the new authentication credential and the first authentication credential is no longer valid for transfers. Maintaining the device-specific authentication process available to be used to enable transfers via the transfer account after receiving the request for the new authentication credential enables the user to maintain use of the transfer account without interruption. Providing additional control options enhances the operability of the device by enabling the user to use the device in more diverse situations, thus allowing the user to use the device more efficiently.

In some embodiments, the electronic device (e.g., 100) and the physical account object (e.g., 2508, 2604) correspond to a same user account (e.g., a user account belonging to the user of the device used to login to the operating system of the device) (2704).
In some embodiments, the transfer account can be used via the electronic device (e.g., 100) and via the physical account object (e.g., 2508, 2604) to authorize transactions (2706).
The electronic device (e.g., 100) obtains (2708), from the physical account object (e.g., 2508, 2604) via the input element, information identifying the physical account object.
In some embodiments, the electronic device (e.g., 100) obtaining the information identifying the physical account object (e.g., 2508, 2604) includes the electronic device obtaining at least a portion of the information from a packaging (e.g., 2510, 2606) of the physical account objected via the input element (e.g., where the physical account object is wrapped by, covered by, or enclosed by the packaging).
In some embodiments, the electronic device (e.g., 100) obtaining, from the physical account object (e.g., 2508, 2604) via the input element, the information identifying the physical account object comprises the electronic device automatically obtaining (from the physical account object), without further user input, the information identifying the physical account object in response to detecting, via the input element, the property of the physical account object (e.g., a physical card) corresponding to the transfer account. Automatically obtaining without further user input, the information identifying the physical account object in response to detecting, via the input element, the property of the physical account object corresponding to the transfer account enables the user to quickly and easily initiate the process for activating the physical account object. Reducing the number of inputs needed to perform an operation enhances the operability of the device and makes the user-device interface more efficient (e.g., by helping the user to provide proper inputs and reducing user mistakes when operating and/or interacting with the device) which, additionally, reduces power usage and improves battery life of the device by enabling the user to use the device more quickly and efficiently.
In some embodiments, the electronic device (e.g., 100) obtaining, from the physical account object (e.g., 2508, 2604) via the input element, the information identifying the physical account object comprises the electronic device obtaining the information identifying the physical account object in response to detecting, via the input element, a user input directed to obtaining the information identifying the physical account object (e.g., user activation of an affordance for proceeding with obtaining the information) after the property of the physical account object corresponding to the transfer account is detected.
In some embodiments, the input element is a wireless communication radio (e.g., for Bluetooth, near-field-communication (NFC)) (2714). In some embodiments, the electronic device (e.g., 100) detecting the property of the physical account object (e.g., 2508, 2604) comprises the electronic device detecting the property of the physical account object using the wireless communication radio independent of whether an electronic wallet application is running (or is displayed) on the electronic device. Detecting the property of the physical account object using the wireless communication radio independent of whether an electronic wallet application is running (or is displayed) on the electronic device enables the user to quickly and easily initiate the process for activating the physical account object. Reducing the number of inputs needed to perform an operation enhances the operability of the device and makes the user-device interface more efficient (e.g., by helping the user to provide proper inputs and reducing user mistakes when operating and/or interacting with the device) which, additionally, reduces power usage and improves battery life of the device by enabling the user to use the device more quickly and efficiently. In some embodiments, the electronic device obtaining the information identifying the physical account object comprises the electronic device receiving, from the physical account object (e.g., and/or a packaging of the physical account object) via the wireless communication radio, the information identifying the physical account object.
In some embodiments, the input element is a wireless communication radio (e.g., for Bluetooth, near-field-communication (NFC)). In some embodiments, the electronic device (e.g., 100) detecting the property of the physical account object (e.g., 2508, 2604) comprises the electronic device detecting the property of the physical account object using the wireless communication radio in accordance with a determination that an electronic wallet application is running (or is displayed) on the electronic device. Detecting the property of the physical account object using the wireless communication radio in accordance with a determination that an electronic wallet application is running (or is displayed) on the electronic device enables the user to quickly and easily initiate the process for activating the physical account object while also providing control over when the activating of the physical account object is initiated on the device. Providing additional control options without cluttering the UI with additional displayed controls enhances the operability of the device and makes the user-device interface more efficient (e.g., by helping the user to provide proper inputs and reducing user mistakes when operating and/or interacting with the device) which, additionally, reduces power usage and improves battery life of the device by enabling the user to use the device more quickly and efficiently. In some embodiments, in accordance with a determination that the electronic wallet application is not running (or is not displayed) on the electronic device, the electronic device forgoes detecting the property of the physical account object using the wireless communication radio. In some embodiments, the electronic device obtaining the information identifying the physical account object comprises the electronic device receiving, from the physical account object (e.g., and/or a packaging of the physical account object) via the wireless communication radio, the information identifying the physical account object.
In some embodiments, the input element is a camera of the electronic device (e.g., 100) (2712). In some embodiments, the electronic device (e.g., 100) detecting the property of the physical account object (e.g., 2508, 2604) comprises the electronic device detecting the property of the physical account object (e.g., 2604) using the camera (e.g., by capturing an image of the physical account object using the camera). In some embodiments, the electronic device (e.g., 100) obtaining the information identifying the physical account object (e.g., 2508, 2604) comprises the electronic device obtaining, from the physical account object using the camera, the information identifying the physical account object. Obtaining the information identifying the physical account object using the camera provides another method for the user to quickly and easily initiate and/or perform the process of activating the physical account object. Reducing the number of inputs needed to perform an operation enhances the operability of the device and makes the user-device interface more efficient (e.g., by helping the user to provide proper inputs and reducing user mistakes when operating and/or interacting with the device) which, additionally, reduces power usage and improves battery life of the device by enabling the user to use the device more quickly and efficiently.
In some embodiments, the input element is an input device (e.g., a touch-sensitive surface) of the electronic device (e.g., 100) (2710). In some embodiments, the electronic device (e.g., 100) detecting the property of the physical account object (e.g., 2508, 2604) comprises the electronic device receiving, via the input device, user input corresponding to the property of the physical account object (e.g., a user input corresponding to the user manually typing, on the touch-sensitive surface, text (e.g., alphanumerics) corresponding to the property of the physical account object. In some embodiments, the electronic device (e.g., 100) obtaining the information identifying the physical account object (e.g., 2508, 2604) comprises the electronic device obtaining, based on the user input received via the input device, the information identifying the physical account object.
In response to receiving the information identifying the physical account object (e.g., 2508, 2604), the electronic device (e.g., 100) displays (2716), on the display (e.g., 112), an affordance (e.g., 2610 of user interface 2608) for activating the physical account object (e.g., 2508, 2604). Displaying the affordance for activating the physical account object in response to receiving the information identifying the physical account object provides feedback that the physical account object has been detected and is ready to be activated. Providing improved visual feedback to the user enhances the operability of the device and makes the user-device interface more efficient (e.g., by helping the user to provide proper inputs and reducing user mistakes when operating and/or interacting with the device) which, additionally, reduces power usage and improves battery life of the device by enabling the user to use the device more quickly and efficiently.
In some embodiments, the electronic device (e.g., 100) displaying the affordance (e.g., 2610) for activating the physical account object (e.g., 2508, 2604) comprises the electronic device displaying the affordance in accordance with a determination, based on the information identifying the physical account object, that the physical account object can be used to authorize transactions using the transfer account (e.g., because the physical account object is a physical copy or version of the transfer account). In some embodiments, in accordance with a determination, based on the information identifying the physical account object (e.g., 2508, 2604), that the physical account object cannot be used to authorize transactions using the transfer account, the electronic device (e.g., 100) forgoes displaying, on the display (e.g., 112), the affordance for activating the physical account object.
While displaying the affordance (e.g., 2610), the electronic device (e.g., 100) detects (2718) an input corresponding to selection of the affordance (e.g., 2610).
In some embodiments, while displaying the affordance (e.g., 2610) for activating the physical account object (e.g., 2604), the electronic device (e.g., 100) concurrently displays (2720), on the display (e.g., 112), a graphical representation of the physical account object (e.g., 2514, where the graphical representation of the physical account object is a representation of what the physical account object would look like in the real world), where the graphical representation of the physical account object corresponds to (e.g., is similar to, is representative of) a graphical representation (e.g., 704, 870) of the transfer account that is displayed in an electronic wallet application of the electronic device.
In response to detecting the input corresponding to selection of the affordance (e.g., 2610), the electronic device (e.g., 100) automatically, without further user input, initiates (2722) a process for enabling the physical account object (e.g., 2508, 2604) to be used to authorize transfers (e.g., payment transactions; points transfers) using the transfer account. Automatically initiating, without further user input, a process for enabling the physical account object to be used to authorize transfers using the transfer account enables the user to quickly and easily complete the process for enabling the physical account object. Reducing the number of inputs needed to perform an operation enhances the operability of the device and makes the user-device interface more efficient (e.g., by helping the user to provide proper inputs and reducing user mistakes when operating and/or interacting with the device) which, additionally, reduces power usage and improves battery life of the device by enabling the user to use the device more quickly and efficiently.
In some embodiments, prior to initiating the process for enabling the physical account object (e.g., 2508, 2604) to be used to authorize transactions using the transfer account in response to detecting the input corresponding to selection of the affordance (e.g., 2610), the physical account object (e.g., 2508, 2604) is disabled from being used to authorize transactions using the transfer account (2724).

The method reduces the cognitive burden on a user for managing a user account, thereby creating a more efficient human-machine interface. For battery-operated computing devices, enabling a user to manage a user account faster and more efficiently conserves power and increases the time between battery charges.
The electronic device (e.g., 100) detects (2702, 2703), via the input element, a property of a physical account object (e.g., 2508, 2510) corresponding to a user account provisioned onto the electronic device.
The electronic device (e.g., 100) obtains (2708, 2705), from the physical account object (e.g., 2508, 2510) via the input element, information identifying the physical account object.
In response to receiving the information identifying the physical account object (e.g., 2508, 2510), the electronic device (e.g., 100) displays (2716, 2707), on the display (e.g., 112), an affordance (e.g., 2518) for activating the physical account object.
While displaying the affordance (e.g., 2518), the electronic device (e.g., 100) detects (2718, 2709) an input corresponding to selection of the affordance.
In response to detecting the input corresponding to selection of the affordance (e.g., 2518), the electronic device (e.g., 100) automatically, without further user input, initiates (2722, 2711) a process for enabling the physical account object (e.g., 2508) to be used to authorize use of the user account.
In some embodiments, the user account corresponds to a computer storage account. In some embodiments, using the user account includes requesting storage of data onto available computer storage resources (e.g., an available MB or GB amount of computer resources) associated with the computer storage account.
In some embodiments, the user account corresponds to a financial account. In some embodiments, using the user account includes making purchases based on financial resources (e.g., credit or money) associated with the financial account.

Displaying the user interface element (e.g., 716, 716A, 881, 881A) includes, in accordance with a determination that an operation of the first type (e.g., a partial or full payment of a balance of the account) is due to be performed within (e.g., a balance payment is due within) a first threshold amount of time (e.g., by a due date, such as a statement due date) and the operation of the first type has not been performed within a second threshold amount of time (e.g., an amount of time that is less than the first threshold amount of time such that a due date has not yet passed; an amount of time that is more than the first threshold amount of time such that the due date has passed), the electronic device (e.g., 100) displaying (3004) the user interface element with a first appearance (e.g., showing a first type of symbol, showing a first type of text, showing a first background color) that indicates the amount of time until the operation of the first type is due. Displaying the user interface element with the first appearance that indicates the amount of time until the operation of the first type is due enables the user to quickly and easily view the due date for the operation of the first type. Providing improved visual feedback to the user enhances the operability of the device and makes the user-device interface more efficient (e.g., by helping the user to provide proper inputs and reducing user mistakes when operating and/or interacting with the device) which, additionally, reduces power usage and improves battery life of the device by enabling the user to use the device more quickly and efficiently.
Displaying the user interface element (e.g., 716, 716A, 881, 881A) includes, in accordance with a determination that the operation of the first type is due to be performed within the first threshold amount of time and the operation of the first type has been performed within the second threshold amount of time, the electronics device (e.g., 100) displaying (3006) the user interface element with a second appearance (e.g., showing a second type of symbol, showing a second type of text, showing a second background color) that includes information about the operation of the first type that has been performed within the second threshold amount of time. Displaying the user interface element with the second appearance that includes information about the operation of the first type that has been performed within the second threshold amount of time enables the user to quickly and easily recognize (and be reminded of) a previous operation of the first type performed for the transfer account. Providing improved visual feedback to the user enhances the operability of the device and makes the user-device interface more efficient (e.g., by helping the user to provide proper inputs and reducing user mistakes when operating and/or interacting with the device) which, additionally, reduces power usage and improves battery life of the device by enabling the user to use the device more quickly and efficiently.
In some embodiments, displaying the user interface element (e.g., 716, 716A, 881, 881A) includes, in accordance with a determination that the operation of the first type is not due to be performed within the first threshold amount of time (e.g., because all of the balance and/or the full statement amount has already been paid, or no transactions using the transfer account have been made during the statement period, and thus there is no balance), the electronic device (e.g., 100) displaying (3008) the user interface element with a third appearance (e.g., showing a third type of symbol, showing a third type of text, showing a third background color) that indicates no operations of the first type are due. Displaying the user interface element with the third appearance that indicates no operations of the first type are due enables the user to quickly and easily recognize that operations of the first type are not due at this time (e.g., for at least a considerable amount of time, such as at least 2 weeks, 3 weeks, or 4 weeks). Providing improved visual feedback to the user enhances the operability of the device and makes the user-device interface more efficient (e.g., by helping the user to provide proper inputs and reducing user mistakes when operating and/or interacting with the device) which, additionally, reduces power usage and improves battery life of the device by enabling the user to use the device more quickly and efficiently.
In some embodiments, the first appearance that indicates the amount of time until the operation of the first type is due includes a visual indicator (e.g., a countdown showing the number of remaining days, hours, minutes, and/or seconds) indicating an amount of time remaining for the first threshold amount of time. Including the visual indicator indicating the amount of time remaining for the first threshold amount of time enables the user to quickly and easily view and recognize that amount of time that is remaining for the operation of the first type. Providing improved visual feedback to the user enhances the operability of the device and makes the user-device interface more efficient (e.g., by helping the user to provide proper inputs and reducing user mistakes when operating and/or interacting with the device) which, additionally, reduces power usage and improves battery life of the device by enabling the user to use the device more quickly and efficiently. In some embodiments, if the first threshold amount of time has passed or expired, the countdown indicator shows a zero or expired value. In some embodiments, if the first threshold amount of time has passed or expired, the countdown indicator is no longer displayed. In some embodiments, as time progresses, the amount of time is updated to reflect the time until the operation of the first type is due.
In some embodiments, in accordance with the determination that the operation of the first type is due to be performed within the first threshold amount of time and the operation of the first type has not been performed within the second threshold amount of time, where the first threshold amount of time is greater than a third threshold amount of time (e.g., an amount of time that is greater than a particular predetermined amount of time, such as greater than 10 days, greater than two weeks, or greater than three weeks), the first appearance includes (3010) an indication that the operation of the first type is not urgent (e.g., is not due for a considerable amount of time, is not due for at least the predetermined amount of time). Including the indication that the that the operation of the first type is not urgent enables the user to quickly and easily recognize that operations of the first type are not due at this time (e.g., for at least a considerable amount of time, such as at least 2 weeks, 3 weeks, or 4 weeks). Providing improved visual feedback to the user enhances the operability of the device and makes the user-device interface more efficient (e.g., by helping the user to provide proper inputs and reducing user mistakes when operating and/or interacting with the device) which, additionally, reduces power usage and improves battery life of the device by enabling the user to use the device more quickly and efficiently. In some embodiments, if the account is a transfer account or a payment account, the electronic device (e.g., 100) indicates that the operation of the first type is not urgently due by indicating (e.g., in 716, in 881; showing “pay early”) that an early balance payment can be made at the current time.
In some embodiments, in accordance with the determination that the operation of the first type is due to be performed within the first threshold amount of time and the operation of the first type has not been performed within the second threshold amount of time, where the first threshold amount is less than a third threshold amount of time (e.g., an amount of time that is less than a particular predetermined amount of time, such as less than a week, less than 3 days, less than 24 hours), the first appearance includes (3012) an indication that the operation of the first type is urgent (e.g., it due soon, is due within a short amount of time). Including the indication that the operation of the first type is urgent enables the user to quickly recognize, and thus react to, the urgency for the operation of the first type. Providing improved visual feedback to the user enhances the operability of the device and makes the user-device interface more efficient (e.g., by helping the user to provide proper inputs and reducing user mistakes when operating and/or interacting with the device) which, additionally, reduces power usage and improves battery life of the device by enabling the user to use the device more quickly and efficiently. In some embodiments, if the account is a transfer account or a payment account, the electronic device (e.g., 100) indicates that the operation of the first type is urgently due by indicating (e.g., showing “pay”) that a balance payment should be made at the current time or not long after the current time.
In some embodiments, in accordance with the determination that the operation of the first type is due to be performed within the first threshold amount of time and the operation of the first type has been performed within the second threshold amount of time, where, after the operation of the first type has been performed (e.g., a first balance payment has been made), a second operation of the first type is due to be performed within the first threshold amount of time (e.g., because there is still a balance remaining on the account even after a first balance payment, because the first balance payment was less than a statement balance of the account), the second appearance includes (3014) an indication the second operation of the first type (e.g., one or more additional balance payments or points transfers) that is still due to be performed within the first threshold amount of time (e.g., because there is still unpaid balance remaining on the account). Including the indication that the second operation of the first type that is still due to be performed within the first threshold amount of time enables the user to quickly and easily recognize that an operation of the first type is still due for the account. Providing improved visual feedback to the user enhances the operability of the device and makes the user-device interface more efficient (e.g., by helping the user to provide proper inputs and reducing user mistakes when operating and/or interacting with the device) which, additionally, reduces power usage and improves battery life of the device by enabling the user to use the device more quickly and efficiently. In some embodiments, the indication that one or more additional operations of the first type are still due includes indicating that more operations (e.g., more payments, additional points transfers) are due within the first threshold amount of time (e.g., text showing “pay more”).
In some embodiments, in accordance with the determination that the operation of the first type is due to be performed within the first threshold amount of time and the operation of the first type has been performed within the second threshold amount of time, where, after the operation of the first type has been performed (e.g., a first balance payment has been made), a second operation of the first type is due to be performed within the first threshold amount of time (e.g., because there is still a balance remaining on the account even after a first balance payment, because the first balance payment was less than a statement balance of the account), the second appearance does not include (3016) (e.g., for a certain period of time after the operation of the first type has been performed) information about the second operation of the first type (e.g., one or more additional balance payments or points transfers) that is still due to be performed (e.g., if the account is a transfer account or a payment account, because there is still balance remaining on the account) within the first threshold amount of time. Not including the information about the second operation of the first type that is still due to be performed within the first threshold amount of time enables the user to quickly and easily recognize that operations of the first type are no longer due. Providing improved visual feedback to the user enhances the operability of the device and makes the user-device interface more efficient (e.g., by helping the user to provide proper inputs and reducing user mistakes when operating and/or interacting with the device) which, additionally, reduces power usage and improves battery life of the device by enabling the user to use the device more quickly and efficiently.
In some embodiments, while displaying the second appearance that does not include (e.g., for a certain period of time after the operation of the first type has been performed) information about the second operation of the first type (e.g., one or more additional balance payments or points transfers) that is still due to be performed (e.g., if the account is a transfer account or a payment account, because there is still balance remaining on the account) within the first threshold amount of time, the electronic device (e.g., 100) detects (3018) (or determines) that a predetermined amount of time has passed. In some embodiments, in response to detecting (or determining) that the predetermined amount of time has passed, the electronic device displays (3020) the second appearance with the information about the second operation of the first type (e.g., one or more additional balance payments or points transfers) that is still due to be performed (e.g., if the account is a transfer account or a payment account, that there is still balance remaining on the account) within the first threshold amount of time. Displaying the second appearance with the information about the second operation of the first type that is still due to be performed within the first threshold amount of time in response to detecting that the predetermined amount of time has passed enables the user to quickly and easily recognize that the an operation of the first type are still due to be performed within the first threshold amount of time. Providing improved visual feedback to the user enhances the operability of the device and makes the user-device interface more efficient (e.g., by helping the user to provide proper inputs and reducing user mistakes when operating and/or interacting with the device) which, additionally, reduces power usage and improves battery life of the device by enabling the user to use the device more quickly and efficiently.
In some embodiments, displaying the user interface element (e.g., 716, 716A, 881, 881A) further includes, in accordance with a determination that recurring operations of the first type are enabled (e.g., in accordance with a determination that recurring automatic payments (e.g., monthly payments) are scheduled) and a recurring operation of the first type is due to be performed within a fourth threshold amount of time (e.g., a scheduled automatic payment date), the electronic device (e.g., 100) displaying the user interface element with a fourth appearance that includes information (e.g., an amount (e.g., payment amount) of the operation, a date at which the operation will be automatically performed) about the recurring operation of the first type.
In some embodiments, in accordance with the determination that recurring operations of the first type are enabled and the recurring operation of the first type is due to be performed within the fourth threshold amount of time, in accordance with a determination that an amount corresponding to the recurring operation of the first type is less than a total amount for operations of the first type due within the first threshold amount of time (e.g., if the scheduled automatic payment is less than a current statement balance or remaining balance during the current statement period), the fourth appearance further includes an indication (e.g., stating “pay more”) that one or more additional operations of the first type are due within the first threshold amount of time. Including the indication that one or more additional operations of the first type are due within the first threshold amount of time in accordance with the determination that an amount corresponding to the recurring operation of the first type is less than a total amount for operations of the first type due within the first threshold amount of time enables the user to quickly and easily recognize that further action is still required (e.g., one or more additional operations of the first type) on the balance of the transfer account. Providing improved visual feedback to the user enhances the operability of the device and makes the user-device interface more efficient (e.g., by helping the user to provide proper inputs and reducing user mistakes when operating and/or interacting with the device) which, additionally, reduces power usage and improves battery life of the device by enabling the user to use the device more quickly and efficiently.
In some embodiments, displaying the user interface element (e.g., 716, 716A, 881, 881A) with the second appearance includes the electronic device (e.g., 100) changes display of the user interface element from the first appearance to the second appearance, where changing display of the user interface element from the first appearance to the second appearance includes changing a visual characteristic (e.g., a background color) of the user interface element. That is, in some embodiments, displaying the user interface element with the first appearance includes the electronic device displaying the user interface element with a first visual characteristic (e.g., a first background color) and displaying the user interface element with the second appearance includes displaying the user interface element with a second visual characteristic (e.g., a second background color) different from the first visual characteristic. Changing display of the user interface element from the first appearance to the second appearance, where changing display of the user interface element from the first appearance to the second appearance includes changing a visual characteristic of the user interface element visually emphasizes that an action has been taken with respect to the account corresponding to the user interface element and/or a state (e.g., whether a due date is upcoming or has passed) has changed with respect to the account. Providing improved visual feedback to the user enhances the operability of the device and makes the user-device interface more efficient (e.g., by helping the user to provide proper inputs and reducing user mistakes when operating and/or interacting with the device) which, additionally, reduces power usage and improves battery life of the device by enabling the user to use the device more quickly and efficiently. In some embodiments, in response to determining that the operation of the first type has been performed within the second threshold amount of time, the electronic device changes display of the user interface element from the first appearance to the second appearance, where the change includes changing the visual characteristic of the user interface element from the first visual characteristic to the second visual characteristic.
In some embodiments, while displaying the user interface element (e.g., 716, 716A, 881, 881A) (e.g., whether in the first appearance or in the second appearance), the electronic device (e.g., 100) detects (3022) a selection of the user interface element (e.g., selection of an affordance within the user interface element). In some embodiments, in response to detecting the selection of the user interface element, the electronic device displays (3024), on the display (e.g., 112), a selection user interface (e.g., 1902, 1142) for selecting an amount (e.g., a balance payment amount) for the operation of the first type (e.g., the selection user interface described in greater detail above with reference to

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 provide usage information about and provide easier management of a transfer account. 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, 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 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, when providing proposed transfer amounts for a balance transfer, 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 that may be used to determine the recommended amounts. 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, recommended or suggested balance transfer amounts can be provided to users by inferring preferences based on non-personal information data or a bare minimum amount of personal information, such as the basic information required to activate an account that can be used to authorize transfers, such as payment transactions.
