The present disclosure relates generally to computer user interfaces, and more specifically to interfaces and techniques for managing peer-to-peer transfers.
Peer-to-peer transfers, such as transfers of resources and files, using electronic devices are a convenient and efficient method of exchanging the resources and files. Peer-to-peer transfers enable a user to, using an electronic device, quickly and easily send an outgoing transfer and quickly and easily accept an incoming transfer.
Some techniques for managing peer-to-peer transfers 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. For another example, some existing techniques have limited options for making and receiving 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 peer-to-peer transfers. Such methods and interfaces optionally complement or replace other methods for managing peer-to-peer transfers. 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 input required at computing devices, such as smartphones and smartwatches.

Thus, devices are provided with faster, more efficient methods and interfaces for managing peer-to-peer transfers, thereby increasing the effectiveness, efficiency, and user satisfaction with such devices. Such methods and interfaces may complement or replace other methods for managing peer-to-peer transfers.
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 example 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 example embodiments.
There is a need for electronic devices that provide efficient methods and interfaces for managing peer-to-peer transfers. For example, there is a need for electronic devices that provide a convenient and efficient method for sending and receiving transfers using commonly used messaging applications. For another example, there is a need for electronic devices that provide easier management for peer-to-peer transfers in a secure manner. For another example, there is a need for electronic devices that provide a quick and intuitive technique for viewing and managing transfer history. For another example, there is a need for electronic devices that can accept transfers without user input or wither minimal user input. Such techniques can reduce the cognitive burden on a user who accesses and utilizes peer-to-peer transfers, 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. Example embodiments of portable multifunction devices include, without limitation, the iPhone®, iPod Touch®, and iPad® devices from Apple Inc. of Cupertino, California. 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. Using tactile outputs to provide haptic feedback to a 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, a tactile output pattern specifies characteristics of a tactile output, such as the amplitude of the tactile output, the shape of a movement waveform of the tactile output, the frequency of the tactile output, and/or the duration of the tactile output.
When tactile outputs with different tactile output patterns are generated by a device (e.g., via one or more tactile output generators that move a moveable mass to generate tactile outputs), the tactile outputs may invoke different haptic sensations in a user holding or touching the device. While the sensation of the user is based on the user's perception of the tactile output, most users will be able to identify changes in waveform, frequency, and amplitude of tactile outputs generated by the device. Thus, the waveform, frequency and amplitude can be adjusted to indicate to the user that different operations have been performed. As such, tactile outputs with tactile output patterns that are designed, selected, and/or engineered to simulate characteristics (e.g., size, material, weight, stiffness, smoothness, etc.); behaviors (e.g., oscillation, displacement, acceleration, rotation, expansion, etc.); and/or interactions (e.g., collision, adhesion, repulsion, attraction, friction, etc.) of objects in a given environment (e.g., a user interface that includes graphical features and objects, a simulated physical environment with virtual boundaries and virtual objects, a real physical environment with physical boundaries and physical objects, and/or a combination of any of the above) will, in some circumstances, provide helpful feedback to users that reduces input errors and increases the efficiency of the user's operation of the device. Additionally, tactile outputs are, optionally, generated to correspond to feedback that is unrelated to a simulated physical characteristic, such as an input threshold or a selection of an object. Such tactile outputs will, in some circumstances, provide helpful feedback to users that reduces input errors and increases the efficiency of the user's operation of the device.
In some embodiments, a tactile output with a suitable tactile output pattern serves as a cue for the occurrence of an event of interest in a user interface or behind the scenes in a device. Examples of the events of interest include activation of an affordance (e.g., a real or virtual button, or toggle switch) provided on the device or in a user interface, success or failure of a requested operation, reaching or crossing a boundary in a user interface, entry into a new state, switching of input focus between objects, activation of a new mode, reaching or crossing an input threshold, detection or recognition of a type of input or gesture, etc. In some embodiments, tactile outputs are provided to serve as a warning or an alert for an impending event or outcome that would occur unless a redirection or interruption input is timely detected. Tactile outputs are also used in other contexts to enrich the user experience, improve the accessibility of the device to users with visual or motor difficulties or other accessibility needs, and/or improve efficiency and functionality of the user interface and/or the device. Tactile outputs are optionally accompanied with audio outputs and/or visible user interface changes, which further enhance a user's experience when the user interacts with a user interface and/or the device, and facilitate better conveyance of information regarding the state of the user interface and/or the device, and which reduce input errors and increase the efficiency of the user's operation of the device.

Secure element (e.g., 115) is a hardware component (e.g., a secure microcontroller chip) configured to securely store data or an algorithm such that the securely stored data is not accessible by the device without proper authentication information from a user of the device. Keeping the securely stored data in a secure element that is separate from other storage on the device prevents access to the securely stored data even if other storage locations on the device are compromised (e.g., by malicious code or other attempts to compromise information stored on the device). In some examples, the secure element provides (or releases) payment information (e.g., an account number and/or a transaction-specific dynamic security code). In some examples, 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.

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 (not shown) 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 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.

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:

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 (arc) 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 (not shown) 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.
In some embodiments, the tactile output module includes haptic feedback module 133. In some embodiments, haptic feedback module 133 aggregates and combines tactile outputs for user interface feedback from software applications on the electronic device (e.g., feedback that is responsive to user inputs that correspond to displayed user interfaces and alerts and other notifications that indicate the performance of operations or occurrence of events in user interfaces of the electronic device). Haptic feedback module 133 includes one or more of: waveform module 123 (for providing waveforms used for generating tactile outputs), mixer 125 (for mixing waveforms, such as waveforms in different channels), compressor 127 (for reducing or compressing a dynamic range of the waveforms), low-pass filter 129 (for filtering out high frequency signal components in the waveforms), and thermal controller 131 (for adjusting the waveforms in accordance with thermal conditions). In some embodiments, haptic feedback module 133 is included in haptic feedback controller 161 (
In some embodiments, haptic feedback module 133 also includes trigger module 121 (e.g., a software application, operating system, or other software module that determines a tactile output is to be generated and initiates the process for generating the corresponding tactile output). In some embodiments, trigger module 121 generates trigger signals for initiating generation of waveforms (e.g., by waveform module 123). For example, trigger module 121 generates trigger signals based on preset timing criteria. In some embodiments, trigger module 121 receives trigger signals from outside haptic feedback module 133 (e.g., in some embodiments, haptic feedback module 133 receives trigger signals from hardware input processing module 146 located outside haptic feedback module 133) and relays the trigger signals to other components within haptic feedback module 133 (e.g., waveform module 123) or software applications that trigger operations (e.g., with trigger module 121) based on activation of a user interface element (e.g., an application icon or an affordance within an application) or a hardware input device (e.g., a home button or an intensity-sensitive input surface, such as an intensity-sensitive touch screen). In some embodiments, trigger module 121 also receives tactile feedback generation instructions (e.g., from haptic feedback module 133,
Waveform module 123 receives trigger signals (e.g., from trigger module 121) as an input, and in response to receiving trigger signals, provides waveforms for generation of one or more tactile outputs (e.g., waveforms selected from a predefined set of waveforms designated for use by waveform module 123, such as the waveforms described in greater detail below with reference to
Mixer 125 receives waveforms (e.g., from waveform module 123) as an input, and mixes together the waveforms. For example, when mixer 125 receives two or more waveforms (e.g., a first waveform in a first channel and a second waveform that at least partially overlaps with the first waveform in a second channel) mixer 125 outputs a combined waveform that corresponds to a sum of the two or more waveforms. In some embodiments, mixer 125 also modifies one or more waveforms of the two or more waveforms to emphasize particular waveform(s) over the rest of the two or more waveforms (e.g., by increasing a scale of the particular waveform(s) and/or decreasing a scale of the rest of the waveforms). In some circumstances, mixer 125 selects one or more waveforms to remove from the combined waveform (e.g., the waveform from the oldest source is dropped when there are waveforms from more than three sources that have been requested to be output concurrently by tactile output generator 167).
Compressor 127 receives waveforms (e.g., a combined waveform from mixer 125) as an input, and modifies the waveforms. In some embodiments, compressor 127 reduces the waveforms (e.g., in accordance with physical specifications of tactile output generators 167 (
Low-pass filter 129 receives waveforms (e.g., compressed waveforms from compressor 127) as an input, and filters (e.g., smooths) the waveforms (e.g., removes or reduces high frequency signal components in the waveforms). For example, in some instances, compressor 127 includes, in compressed waveforms, extraneous signals (e.g., high frequency signal components) that interfere with the generation of tactile outputs and/or exceed performance specifications of tactile output generator 167 when the tactile outputs are generated in accordance with the compressed waveforms. Low-pass filter 129 reduces or removes such extraneous signals in the waveforms.
Thermal controller 131 receives waveforms (e.g., filtered waveforms from low-pass filter 129) as an input, and adjusts the waveforms in accordance with thermal conditions of device 100 (e.g., based on internal temperatures detected within device 100, such as the temperature of haptic feedback controller 161, and/or external temperatures detected by device 100). For example, in some cases, the output of haptic feedback controller 161 varies depending on the temperature (e.g. haptic feedback controller 161, in response to receiving same waveforms, generates a first tactile output when haptic feedback controller 161 is at a first temperature and generates a second tactile output when haptic feedback controller 161 is at a second temperature that is distinct from the first temperature). For example, the magnitude (or the amplitude) of the tactile outputs may vary depending on the temperature. To reduce the effect of the temperature variations, the waveforms are modified (e.g., an amplitude of the waveforms is increased or decreased based on the temperature).
In some embodiments, haptic feedback module 133 (e.g., trigger module 121) is coupled to hardware input processing module 146. In some embodiments, other input controller(s) 160 in
In some embodiments, the tactile output module includes haptic feedback controller 161 (e.g., haptic feedback controller 161 in
In some embodiments, as shown in
In some embodiments, the tactile output module includes amplifier 163. In some embodiments, amplifier 163 receives waveforms (e.g., from haptic feedback controller 161) and amplifies the waveforms prior to sending the amplified waveforms to tactile output generator 167 (e.g., any of tactile output generators 167 (
In some embodiments, the tactile output module includes sensor 169, which is coupled to tactile output generator 167. Sensor 169 detects states or state changes (e.g., mechanical position, physical displacement, and/or movement) of tactile output generator 167 or one or more components of tactile output generator 167 (e.g., one or more moving parts, such as a membrane, used to generate tactile outputs). In some embodiments, sensor 169 is a magnetic field sensor (e.g., a Hall effect sensor) or other displacement and/or movement sensor. In some embodiments, sensor 169 provides information (e.g., a position, a displacement, and/or a movement of one or more parts in tactile output generator 167) to haptic feedback controller 161 and, in accordance with the information provided by sensor 169 about the state of tactile output generator 167, haptic feedback controller 161 adjusts the waveforms output from haptic feedback controller 161 (e.g., waveforms sent to tactile output generator 167, optionally via amplifier 163).
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.
Example 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., 0.05, 0.1, 0.2, 0.5, 1, 2, 5, 10 seconds) relative to a predefined event (e.g., after detecting the contact, prior to detecting liftoff of the contact, before or after detecting a start of movement of the contact, prior to detecting an end of the contact, before or after detecting an increase in intensity of the contact, and/or before or after detecting a decrease in intensity of the contact). A characteristic intensity of a contact is, optionally, based on one or more of: a maximum value of the intensities of the contact, a mean value of the intensities of the contact, an average value of the intensities of the contact, a top 10 percentile value of the intensities of the contact, a value at the half maximum of the intensities of the contact, a value at the 90 percent maximum of the intensities of the contact, or the like. In some embodiments, the duration of the contact is used in determining the characteristic intensity (e.g., when the characteristic intensity is an average of the intensity of the contact over time). In some embodiments, the characteristic intensity is compared to a set of one or more intensity thresholds to determine whether an operation has been performed by a user. For example, the set of one or more intensity thresholds optionally includes a first intensity threshold and a second intensity threshold. In this example, a contact with a characteristic intensity that does not exceed the first threshold results in a first operation, a contact with a characteristic intensity that exceeds the first intensity threshold and does not exceed the second intensity threshold results in a second operation, and a contact with a characteristic intensity that exceeds the second threshold results in a third operation. In some embodiments, a comparison between the characteristic intensity and one or more thresholds is used to determine whether or not to perform one or more operations (e.g., whether to perform a respective operation or forgo performing the respective operation), rather than being used to determine whether to perform a first operation or a second operation.
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 display of representations 578A-578C includes an animation. For example, representation 578A is initially displayed in proximity of application icon 572B, as shown in
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 case 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 examples, 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 examples, 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 examples, 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 examples, the electronic devices receive at least some payment account information from another device (e.g., another user device or a server). In some examples, 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 examples, 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 examples, electronic device (e.g., 100, 300, 500) communicates with payment terminal 600 using an NFC channel 610. In some examples, 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 examples, 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 examples, the secure element is a hardware component that controls release of secure information. In some examples, 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 examples, 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 examples, 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 examples, 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 examples, 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 (point of sale) payment terminal 600 with an indication as to whether a proposed purchase is authorized or denied. In some examples, 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 examples, a secure element (e.g., 115) is a hardware component (e.g., a secure microcontroller chip) configured to securely store data or an algorithm such that the securely stored data is not accessible by the device without proper authentication information from a user of the device. Keeping the securely stored data in a secure element that is separate from other storage on the device prevents access to the securely stored data even if other storage locations on the device are compromised (e.g., by malicious code or other attempts to compromise information stored on the device). In some examples, the secure element provides (or releases) payment information (e.g., an account number and/or a transaction-specific dynamic security code). In some examples, 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.
Attention is now directed towards embodiments of user interfaces (“UI”) and associated processes that are implemented on an electronic device, such as portable multifunction device 100, device 300, or device 500.

In some embodiments, electronic device 700 also displays, on display 702, a virtual keyboard 712 (e.g., an alphanumeric keyboard for typing a message) and a compose bar 714 displaying the text of a message as a message is typed using virtual keyboard 712. In some embodiments, a mechanical keyboard can be used in addition to or alternatively to virtual keyboard 712 to type a message. In some embodiments, compose bar 714 can expand (e.g., expand upwards) to accommodate a longer message or message object (e.g., an image, an emoticon, a special type of message object, such as a payment object). In some embodiments, compose bar 714 includes a mic button 716 which, when activated, enables the user to record a message using voice input.
As shown in
In some embodiments, electronic device 700 performs an analysis of the contents (e.g., the text) of the message corresponding to message object 720 (stating, as a response to the message corresponding to message object 718 stating “That restaurant was so good!”, “Yeah! Can you send me the photos from last night?”). In some embodiments, the analysis of the contents (e.g., the text) of the message is performed by electronic device 700 using a language processing component or a language analysis component of the device. In some embodiments, the analysis is performed at an external device (e.g., a server), and electronic device 700 receives a result of the analysis from the external device.
Based on the analysis of the contents (e.g., the text) of message object 720 (and, optionally, one or more other previous or subsequent message objects of message conversation 708, such as message object 718 and 720), in accordance with a determination (e.g., made at electronic device 700 or received from an external device, such as a server) that the contents (e.g., the text) of the message corresponding to message object 720 relates to a transfer of an electronic file (e.g., a photo, a video, a document, an audio file) that messaging application 706 is configured to transfer, electronic device 700 displays a selectable indication that corresponds to a transfer of one or more files (e.g., photos, video files, audio files, documents) or to an intent to proceed with a transfer of one or more files (e.g., photos, video files, audio files, documents), as discussed below.

In some embodiments, electronic device 800 also displays, on display 802, a virtual keyboard 812 (e.g., an alphanumeric keyboard for typing a message) and a compose bar 814 displaying the text of a message as a message is typed using virtual keyboard 812. In some embodiments, a mechanical keyboard can be used in addition to or alternatively to virtual keyboard 812 to type a message. In some embodiments, compose bar 814 can expand (e.g., expand upwards) to accommodate a longer message or message object (e.g., an image, an emoticon, a special type of message object, such as a payment object). In some embodiments, compose bar 814 includes a mic button 814A which, when activated, enables the user to record a message using voice input.
As shown in
Based on the analysis of the contents (e.g., the text) of message object 820 (and, optionally, one or more other previous or subsequent message objects of message conversation 808, such as message object 816 and 818), in accordance with a determination (e.g., made at electronic device 800 or received from an external device, such as a server) that the contents (e.g., the text) of the message corresponding to message object 820 relates to a transfer of a payment (e.g., a request for a payment, agreement to send a payment) that messaging application 806 is configured to transfer, electronic device 800 displays a selectable indication that corresponds to a payment amount or to an intent to proceed with a payment transfer, as discussed below.
In some embodiments, the determination that the contents of a message relates to a payment (or, alternatively, relates to a request for a payment) is made based at least in part on an indication of an amount (e.g., “$28”) of the payment included in the message (or one or more previous or subsequent messages). In some embodiments, the determination that the contents of a message relates to a payment (or, alternatively, relates to a request for a payment) is made based at least in part on an indication of an amount (e.g., “$28”) of the payment included in the message and/or one or more text triggers in the message (and, optionally, one or more previous or subsequent messages) (e.g., “I owe you,” “Pay me,” “Here is the payment”). In some embodiments, the determination that the contents of a message relates to a payment (or, alternatively, relates to a request for a payment) is made based at least in part on an indication of an amount (e.g., “$28”) of the payment included in the message and a more detailed analysis of the text of the message (and, optionally, one or more previous or subsequent messages) using language processing and interpretation techniques to decipher an intent of the message (and, optionally, one or more previous or subsequent messages).
For example, in

In some embodiments, indication 868 of the payment amount (or, alternatively, of the payment request amount) within payment message object 866 is prominently displayed (e.g., in a thick font, in a large font) at the center of the message object. In some examples, indication 870 indicating that the message object corresponds to an outgoing payment (or, alternatively, that the message object corresponds to a request for a payment) is less-prominently displayed (e.g., in a thinner font, a smaller font) at a corner of the message object.
In some embodiments, payment message object 866 is displayed with a visual characteristic (e.g., a different background color, a different background shade, a different background pattern) that distinguishes it from a non-payment message object (e.g., message object 818 and message object 820). For example, payment message object 866 is displayed with a dark color/shade (e.g., black) background color, whereas a non-payment message object (e.g., message object 818 and message object 820) is displayed with a lighter background color/shade (e.g., gray, white, blue).

For example,
In
In some embodiments, if payment message object 866 instead relates to a payment request by the user to message participant 810 (as opposed to an outgoing payment from the user to message participant 810), user activation of final send button 874 does not cause display of payment confirmation user interface 878. Instead, if payment message object 866 relates to a payment request, in response to the user activation of final send button 874, electronic device 800 displays, within message conversation 808, payment message object 866 (thereby indicating that the payment request associated with the payment message object has been sent).
In some embodiments, (while a payment message object is displayed in expanded compose field 872) electronic device 800 displays a pay button within compose bar 814 for sending the payment (or payment request) corresponding to the payment message object. Thus, in some embodiments, the user can, subsequent to entering a note (e.g., a comment, a message) to accompany the payment (or payment request), select the pay button to send the payment and the entered note. In some embodiments, the pay button is shown within compose bar 814 while virtual keyboard 812 is displayed. In some embodiments, the pay button is shown within compose bar 814 while payment transfer user interface 840 is displayed.

In some embodiments, also as with payment message object 866, payment message object 853 includes a status indicator 859 (e.g., stating “PENDING,” corresponding to status indicator 894 of text message object 866) indicating a status of the payment associated with the payment message object sent to message participant 810.
As described below, method 900 provides an intuitive way for managing peer-to-peer transfers. The method reduces the cognitive burden on a user for managing peer-to-peer transfers, thereby creating a more efficient human-machine interface. For battery-operated computing devices, enabling a user to manage peer-to-peer transfers faster and more efficiently conserves power and increases the time between battery charges.
The electronic device (e.g., 700, 800, 850) receives (902), via the wireless communication radio, one or more messages (e.g., a text message, an email message, an instant message) (e.g., from a remote user).
The electronic device (e.g., 700, 800, 850) displays (904) (e.g., in response to/subsequent to receiving the one or more messages), on the display (e.g., 702, 802, 851), a user interface for a messaging application (e.g., 706, 806, 857) that includes at least one of the one or more messages (e.g., 718, 720, 816, 818, 820, 865) in a message conversation (e.g., 708, 808, 859, an instant message conversation, a text message thread, an email thread) between a plurality of conversation participants (e.g., 710, 810, a user of the device and one or more other participants). Displaying the user interface for the messaging application (e.g., 706, 806, 857) and, in particular, the messages (e.g., 718, 720, 816, 818, 820, 865) in the conversation provides the user with contextual feedback regarding the sender/receiver of messages in the conversation and reduces the need for the user to investigate the sender/receiver for further messages displayed in the conversation. 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 achieve an intended result by providing feedback indicative of an input that will cause the device to generate the intended result 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 examples, the message conversation (e.g., 708, 808, 859) (906) involves two or more participants, other than a user of the device.
While concurrently displaying, on the display (e.g., 702, 802, 851), at least one of the one or more messages (e.g., 718, 720, 816, 818, 820, 865) in the message conversation (e.g., 708, 808, 859), the electronic device (e.g., 700, 800, 850) receives (908), from one of the participants (e.g., 710, 810), a respective message (e.g., 720, 820, 865) (from the user or one of the other participants).
In response (910) to receiving the respective message, in accordance with a determination, based on an analysis of text in the respective message (and, optionally one or more prior messages in the message conversation), that the respective message relates to a transfer of a first type of item (e.g., a sticker, a photo, or a payment object) that the messaging application is configured to transfer, the electronic device (e.g., 700, 800, 850) concurrently displays (912), on the display (e.g., 702, 802, 851), a representation of the message and a selectable indication (e.g., 722, 822, 867, underlining a portion of the text that relates to the first type of item and updating the portion of the text to be a selectable affordance, or displaying in a virtual keyboard a representation of the first type of item) that corresponds to the first type of item. Concurrently displaying the representation of the message (e.g., 720, 820, 865) and the selectable indication (e.g., 722, 822, 867) in response to receiving a message that is determined to relate to a transfer of a type of item (e.g., a photo, a payment) provides the user with feedback to indicate that the selectable indication corresponds to the received message and that activating the selectable indication will cause an operation to be performed that relates to the message. 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 achieve an intended result by providing feedback indicative of an input that will cause the device to generate the intended result 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 examples, the text in the respective message (e.g., 720, 820, 865) includes (914) a first quantity (e.g., a number of stickers, a number of photos, a payment amount, a resource amount) of content of the first type of item. In some examples, the representation of the respective message includes the first quantity.
In some examples, in accordance with the determination, based on the analysis of the text in the respective message, that the respective message relates to the transfer of the first type of item that the messaging application is configured to transfer, the electronic device (e.g., 700, 800, 850) displays (916) (e.g., at a suggestions region of a virtual keyboard (e.g., 712, 812) that includes one or more suggested quantities (e.g., 724, 824) of content of the first type of item), on the display (e.g., 702, 802), a transfer affordance (e.g., 726, 826, 828, 869) (e.g., an affordance for opening a sticker/photo gallery user interface, a payment affordance for opening a payment user interface, a resource-transfer affordance for opening a resource-transfer affordance). In some examples, the electronic device (e.g., 700, 800, 850) detects user activation of the transfer affordance (e.g., 726, 826, 828, 869), and in response to detecting the user activation of the transfer affordance (e.g., 726, 826, 828, 869), the electronic device (e.g., 700, 800, 850) displays, on the display (e.g., 702, 802, 851), the transfer user interface (e.g., 728, 840, 875) (e.g., a sticker/photo gallery for selecting stickers/photos to transfer, a numerical value selection user interface for selecting an amount of funds or an amount of resources) for initiating transfer of the first type of item to a participant in the message conversation (and ceasing to the display the virtual keyboard). Displaying the transfer affordance (e.g., 726, 826, 828, 869) when the respective message relates to a transfer of an item and displaying the transfer user interface (e.g., 728, 840, 875) when the transfer affordance (e.g., 726, 826, 828, 869) is activated avoids the need for the device to receive multiple user inputs to initiate the transfer 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 achieve an intended result by providing feedback indicative of an input that will cause the device to generate the intended result 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 examples, in accordance with a determination that the respective message includes (or corresponds to) one or more features that indicate that the transfer request is a fraudulent transfer request (e.g., a transfer request from an unknown user/account, a transfer request from an unverified source, a transfer request from a flagged user/account), the electronic device (e.g., 700, 800, 850) forgoes displaying the transfer affordance (e.g., 726, 826, 828, 869). In some examples, the electronic device further provides a prompt/notification (e.g., 726, 836, 838) indicating that the respective message is suspected to be a spam/junk message. In some examples, messages from participants not in a list of contacts (e.g., address book app) of the electronic device are flagged as relating to a fraudulent transfer request. In some examples, messages from participants in a list of contacts (e.g., a list of known spammers) of the electronic device are flagged as relating to a fraudulent transfer request. Not displaying the transfer affordance when the respective message relates to a fraudulent transfer request reduces the likelihood that the user will participant in the transfer without further investigating the transfer because the user must take additional steps to participate in the transfer, thereby enhancing the security of the technique and reducing the number of fraudulent transfers. Reducing the number of fraudulent transfers enhances the operability of the device and makes the user-device interface more secure (e.g., by reducing fraud when operating/interacting with the device).
In some examples, further in response to receiving the respective message, in accordance with a determination, based on the analysis of text in the respective message (and, optionally one or more prior messages in the message conversation), that the respective message does not relate to a transfer of the first type of item (e.g., a sticker, a photo, or a payment object), the electronic device (e.g., 700, 800, 850) displays (920), on the display (e.g., 702, 802, 851), a representation of the respective message (e.g., 720, 820, 865) (e.g., a regular text message, a regular chat bubble, a regular email message) without displaying the selectable indication (e.g., 722, 822, 867) that corresponds to the first type of item.
While the representation of the message and the selectable indication that corresponds to the first type of item are concurrently displayed on the display, the electronic device (e.g., 700, 800, 850) detects (922), via the one or more input devices, user activation (e.g., 801, 871, a touch gesture, such as a tap) of the selectable indication.
In response (924) to detecting the user activation (e.g., 801, 871) of the selectable indication, the electronic device (e.g., 700, 800, 850) displays (926), on the display (702, 802, 851), a transfer user interface (e.g., 728, 840, 875) for initiating transfer of the first type of item between participants (e.g., 810, the user) in the message conversation (e.g., a sticker sharing interface, a photo sharing interface, a payment interface, or a resource-numerical value selection user interface for receiving user adjustment of the amount of resources, such as points, credits, or funds, to be sent or requested). Displaying an indication (e.g., 722, 822, 867) that is selectable when the respective message relates to a transfer of an item and displaying the transfer user interface (e.g., 728, 840, 875) when the indication (e.g., 722, 822, 867) is selected (e.g., activated) avoids the need for the device to receive multiple user inputs to initiate the transfer 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 achieve an intended result by providing feedback indicative of an input that will cause the device to generate the intended result 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 examples, the text in the respective message includes (928) a first quantity (e.g., a number of stickers, a number of photos, a payment amount, a resource amount) of content of the first type of item. In some examples, the transfer user interface (e.g., 728, 840, 875) includes an indication of the first quantity (e.g., 848, 881) of the content of the first type of item. In some examples, a quantity (e.g., a numerical value, a numerical value adjacent to a currency symbol/character) being contained in the text is used during analysis of the text in the respective message to determine that the respective message relates to a transfer of the first type of item (e.g., a sticker, a photo, or a payment object) that the messaging application is configured to transfer. Automatically displaying the quantity of the item from the message in the transfer user interface as a starting point allows the user to make adjustments (e.g., incrementing, decrementing) to the quantity derived from the message, rather than adjusting an unrelated value (e.g., value of 0), and helps to reduce the number of inputs needed to reach a desired adjusted 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 achieve an intended result by providing feedback indicative of an input that will cause the device to generate the intended result 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 examples, the transfer user interface (e.g., 728, 840, 875) includes (930) an indication of a second quantity of content of the first type of item, wherein the second quantity is a numerical value divided (e.g., proportionally) among the two or more participants based on the first quantity. For example, if the text in the respective message includes a first quantity of the content (e.g., a payment amount) of $20, and the number of other participants in the message conversation is 5 participants, the second quantity of the content is $20/5=$4. Automatically displaying a value based on the quantity of the item from the message in the transfer user interface as a starting point allows the user to make adjustments (e.g., incrementing, decrementing) to the value, rather than adjusting an unrelated value (e.g., 0), and reduces the number of inputs needed to reach a desired adjusted 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 achieve an intended result by providing feedback indicative of an input that will cause the device to generate the intended result 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 examples, the transfer user interface (e.g., 728, 840, 875) is concurrently displayed (932) with at least a portion of (e.g., some or all of) the representation of the respective message (e.g., 720, 820, 865) (and, optionally, with the selectable indication (e.g., 722, 822, 867) of the first resource amount). In some examples, the transfer user interface (e.g., 728, 840, 875) is displayed in a bottom-half portion of the display, and the messaging application (or the conversation of the messaging application) containing the representation of the respective message (e.g., 720, 820, 865) is displayed in a top-half portion of the display.
In some examples, the transfer user interface (e.g., 728, 840, 875) includes (934) a transfer mode affordance (e.g., a toggle for switching between a “transfer out” mode and a “requesting transfer” mode).
In some examples, the transfer user interface (e.g., 728, 840, 875) includes (936) a send affordance (e.g., 738, 847, 889) (e.g., an affordance for sending a message associated with selected stickers, an affordance for sending a message associated with selected photos, an affordance for sending a message associated with a selected amount of funds, an affordance for sending a message with a selected amount of resources).
In some examples, while displaying the transfer user interface (e.g., 728, 840, 875), the electronic device (e.g., 700, 800, 850) receives (938) user input (e.g., a swipe in an upwards direction from an area of the transfer user interface towards and out of the top edge of the transfer user interface). In response (940) to receiving the user input, the electronic device (e.g., 700, 800, 850) displays (942), on the display (e.g., 702, 802, 851), a keypad user interface (e.g., 856, 862) (e.g., containing a numbers pad), wherein the keypad user interface (e.g., 856, 862) includes one or more suggested numerical values for a quantity of the first type of item to transfer. In some examples, the keypad user interface (e.g., 856, 862) replaces display of the transfer user interface (e.g., 728, 840, 875). In some examples, the suggested numerical values are based on location (e.g., local sales tax). In some examples, the suggested numerical values are based on a number of participants in the message conversation. In some examples, the suggested numerical values are based on context (e.g., an indication that a payment will be split or multiple items need to be paid for). In some examples, the suggested numerical values include a suggestion with a tip included. In some examples, the one or more suggested numerical values are displayed as part of the keypad user interface (e.g., 856, 862) in response to receiving the respective message and in accordance with the determination, based on analysis of text in the respective message (and, optionally one or more prior messages in the message conversation), that the respective message relates to transfer of the first type of item (e.g., a sticker, a photo, or a payment object) that the messaging application is configured to transfer.
In some examples, the electronic device (e.g., 700, 800, 850) detects (944) a first activation (e.g., touchscreen tap on) of the transfer mode affordance. In response (946) to detecting the first activation of the transfer mode affordance, the electronic device designates (948) the message associated with the transfer of the first type of item as corresponding to a transmission (e.g., sending out) of the first type of item. The electronic device detects (950) a second activation of the transfer mode affordance. In response (952) to detecting the second activation of the transfer mode affordance, the electronic device designates (954) the message associated with the transfer of the first type of item as corresponding to a request for the first type of item.
In some examples, the electronic device detects (956) user activation of the send affordance (e.g., 738, 847, 889). In response (958) to detecting the user activation of the send affordance (e.g., 738, 847, 889), the electronic device (e.g., 700, 800, 850) displays (960), on the display (e.g., 702, 802, 851), a graphical representation of a message (e.g., 866, 853) (e.g., a message associated with selected stickers, a message associated with selected photos, a message associated with a selected amount of funds, a message with a selected amount of resources) associated with the transfer of the first type of item (e.g., stickers, photos, funds, resources) in the message conversation, wherein the graphical representation of the message (e.g., 866, 853) associated with the transfer of the first type of item includes an indication of a quantity of content (e.g., 868, 859) (e.g., a number of stickers, a number of photos, an amount of funds, an amount of resources) of the first type of item being transferred. Displaying a message that includes an indication of the quantity of the item transferred provides the user with visual feedback of the operation being performed and enables the user to subsequently review the message conversation to understand the amount of the item transferred and to whom it was transferred. 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 achieve an intended result by providing feedback indicative of an input that will cause the device to generate the intended result 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 examples, in response (958) to detecting the user activation of the send affordance (e.g., 738, 847, 889) and prior to displaying, on the display (e.g., 702, 802), the graphical representation of the message (e.g., 866, 853) associated with the transfer of the first type of item in the message conversation, in accordance with a determination that the message associated with the transfer of the first type of item corresponds to a transmission of the first type of item, the electronic device (e.g., 700, 800, 850) displays (964), on the display (e.g., 702, 802, 851), an authentication user interface (e.g., 878, 831) requesting authentication information (e.g., biometric information, such as a fingerprint, facial features, iris/retina features, or input information such as a passcode or pattern). The electronic device (e.g., 700, 800, 850) receives (966), via the one or more input devices (e.g., 704, 804, 855), the authentication information. In accordance with a determination that the received authentication information corresponds to enrolled authentication information (stored on the device) for authorizing transfers, the electronic device displays (968), on the display, the graphical representation of the message (e.g., 866, 853) associated with the transfer of the first type of item in the message conversation (e.g., 708, 808, 859). In accordance with a determination that the received authentication information does not correspond to the enrolled authentication information for authorizing transfers, the electronic device forgoes displaying (970), on the display (e.g., 702, 802, 851), the graphical representation of the message (e.g., 866, 853) associated with the transfer of the first type of item in the message conversation (e.g., 708, 808, 859).
In some examples, while displaying (972), on the display (e.g., 702, 802, 851), the transfer user interface (e.g., 728, 840, 875), blocks 974-980 are performed. The electronic device (e.g., 700, 800, 850) displays (974) a numerical value (e.g., 848, 881) representing a quantity of the first type of item (e.g., “0” or a non-zero value determined based on the text analysis of the text in the respective message). The electronic device (e.g., 700, 800, 850) detects (976), via the one or more input devices, a user input (e.g., 803, 805). In accordance with a determination that the user input corresponds to a first type of user input, the electronic device increases (978) the displayed numerical value (e.g., 848, 881) by an amount corresponding to the first type of user input. In some examples, the first type of user input corresponds to a selection of a first affordance, such as a “+” affordance (e.g., 850, 885). In some examples, the first type of user input corresponds to a horizontal/vertical scrub in a first direction. In accordance with a determination that the user input corresponds to a second type of user input, the electronic device decreases (980) the displayed numerical value (e.g., 848, 881) by an amount corresponding to the second type of user input. In some examples, the second type of user input corresponds to a selection of a second affordance, such as a “−” affordance (e.g., 852, 883). In some examples, the second type of user input corresponds to a vertical/horizontal scrub in a second direction.
In some examples, the user input is a continuous input (e.g., a “touch and hold” input, a prolonged input) on an affordance for at least a predetermined time. In accordance with the determination that the user input corresponds to the first type of user input (e.g., an input on a first affordance, such as a “+” affordance), the electronic device (e.g., 700, 800, 850) increases the displayed numerical value (e.g., 848, 881) by an increasingly faster rate based on the duration (and/or characteristics intensity) of the user input. In accordance with the determination that the user input corresponds to the second type of user input (e.g., an input on a second affordance, such as a “−” affordance), the electronic device decreases the displayed numerical value (e.g., 848, 881) by an increasingly faster rate based on the duration (and/or characteristics intensity) of the user input. Thus, in some examples, the displayed numerical value (e.g., 848, 881) changes (increases or decreases) at a progressively faster rate as the user input is held for an increasingly longer duration of time. Increasing or decreasing the numerical value by an increasingly faster rate based on the duration (or intensity) of the user input provides the user with feedback about the duration (or level of intensity) that is being detected by the device based on the user's input and provides visual feedback to the user indicating that holding longer (or pressing harder will) cause the device to increase the rate of the change. 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 achieve an intended result by providing feedback indicative of an input that will cause the device to generate the intended result 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 examples, the user input (e.g., 803, 805) is a continuous input on an affordance (e.g., a “touch and hold” input, a prolonged input) having a first characteristic intensity at a first time and a second characteristic intensity (e.g., stronger than the first contact intensity) at a second time (e.g., a time later than the first time). Thus, in some examples, the user input is a contact that becomes stronger/firmer as time passes. In accordance with the determination that the user input corresponds to the first type of user input (e.g., an input on a first affordance, such as a “+” affordance (e.g., 850, 885)), increasing the displayed numerical value (e.g., 848, 881) by a first rate at the first time and by a second rate (e.g., a rate faster than the first rate) at the second time. In accordance with the determination that the user input corresponds to the second type of user input (e.g., an input on a second affordance, such as a “−” affordance (e.g., 852, 883)), decreasing the displayed numerical value (e.g., 848, 881) by the first rate at the first time and by the second rate at the second time. Thus, in some examples, the displayed numerical value changes (increases or decreases) at a progressively faster rate as a user's touch/contact input becomes increasing firmer/stronger. Increasing or decreasing the numerical value by an increasingly faster rate based on the intensity of the user input provides the user with feedback about the level of intensity that is being detected by the device based on the user's input and provides visual feedback to the user indicating that pressing harder will cause the device to increase the rate of the change. 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 achieve an intended result by providing feedback indicative of an input that will cause the device to generate the intended result 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 examples, the electronic device (e.g., 700, 800, 850) provides feedback (e.g., haptic feedback in the form of one or more tactile outputs, audio feedback) while changing (increasing or decreasing) the displayed numerical value (e.g., by the amount corresponding to the first type of user input or to the second type of user input).
In some examples, in accordance with a determination that the user input corresponds to a third type of user input (e.g., an upwards swipe on the transfer user interface), the electronic device (e.g., 700, 800, 850) replaces display of the transfer user interface (e.g., 728, 840, 875) with a numerical keypad user interface (e.g., 856, 862) (e.g., a user interface that includes an icon for each digit), wherein the numerical keypad user interface (e.g., 856, 862) includes a plurality of suggested values (for the quantity of the first type of item to transfer).
In some examples, an amount of at least one of the plurality of suggested values is determined based on stored historical use data (e.g., the most frequently used values, the most recently used value) associated with a user of the electronic device (e.g., 700, 800, 850).
In some examples, further in response to receiving the respective message, in accordance with a determination, based on the analysis of text in the respective message (and, optionally one or more prior messages in the message conversation), that the respective message does not relate to a transfer of the first type of item (e.g., a sticker, a photo, or a payment object), the electronic device displays, on the display, a representation of the respective message (e.g., a regular text message, a regular chat bubble, a regular email message) without displaying the selectable indication (e.g., 722, 822, 867) that corresponds to the first type of item.
In some examples, the selectable indication (e.g., 722, 822, 867) is a portion of the text (e.g., a name or quantity of a sticker(s), a name or quantity of a photo(s), an amount of funds, an amount of resources) in (the representation of) the respective message that relates to the first type of item that is visually distinguished (e.g., by underlining the portion of the text or displaying the portion of the text in a different color) from other text in the respective message.
In some examples, displaying, on the display (e.g., 702, 802, 851), the transfer user interface (e.g., 728, 840, 875) comprises replacing display of a virtual keyboard (e.g., 712, 812, a regular virtual keyboard of the operating system of the device) having a plurality of alphanumeric keys with the transfer user interface (e.g., 728, 840, 875).
In some examples, in accordance with a determination that a message prepared to be sent corresponds to the first type of item, the send affordance (e.g. 874) is displayed with a first visual characteristic (e.g., a color, a shade, a graphical pattern, a shape). In some examples, in accordance with a determination that the message prepared to be sent corresponds to a second type of item (e.g., a textual message) different from the first type of item, the send affordance (e.g., 874) is displayed with a second visual characteristic (e.g., a different color, a different shade, a different graphical pattern, a different shape) different from the first visual characteristic. In some examples, when a message has been prepared to be sent that includes a payment or a request for payment, the send affordance (e.g., 874) is a first color, when the message to be sent does not include a payment or a request for payment, the send affordance (e.g., 874) is a second color that is different from the first color. Visually differentiating between drafts of messages that do and drafts of messages that do not correspond to transfer of items helps the user avoid unintentionally sending messages that include transfer of items. This is particularly helpful because non-transfer messages involve limited consequences and users may send such messages with little review, while messages that correspond to transfers involve relatively higher consequences. The differentiated visual feedback prompts the user to review such messages more carefully. 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 achieve an intended result by providing feedback indicative of an input that will cause the device to generate the intended result 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 examples, the graphical representation of the message (e.g., 866, 853) associated with transfer of the first type of item is displayed with a third visual characteristic (e.g., a color, a shade, a graphical pattern, a shape) in the message conversation (e.g., 708, 808, 859), and a representation of a message (e.g., 718, 720, 816, 818, 820, 865) in the message conversation not associated with transfer of the first type of item is displayed with a fourth visual characteristic (e.g., a different color, a different shade, a different graphical pattern, a different shape) that is different from the third visual characteristic. Visually differentiating between messages that do and do not correspond to transfer of items helps the user quickly identify messages that include transfers of items. This is particularly helpful because non-transfer messages involve limited consequences and users may glance over such messages with little review, while messages that correspond to transfers involve relatively higher consequences. The differentiated visual feedback prompts the user to review such messages more carefully (and potentially take action). 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 achieve an intended result by providing feedback indicative of an input that will cause the device to generate the intended result 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 examples, in accordance with a determination that the respective message corresponds to a transmission, from a first participant in the message conversation, of a first quantity of content of the first type of item, the electronic device (e.g., 700, 800, 850) automatically (e.g., without checking for authentication, without requesting authentication information, without requiring user input) transfers the first quantity of content of the first type of item to the first participant (e.g., 710, 810). In some examples, in accordance with the determination that the respective message corresponds to a transmission, from the first participant in the message conversation, the electronic device displays (e.g., without checking for authentication, without requesting authentication information), on the display, a graphical representation of a message associated with transferring the first quantity of content of the first type of item to the first participant (e.g., 710, 810). Automatically accepting transfers of content when the message is a transfer of items to the user of the device allows quicker processing of the transfer and avoids the need for additional user inputs to accept the transfer. Performing an operation when a set of conditions has been met without requiring further user input enhances the operability of the device and makes the user-device interface more efficient (e.g., by helping the user to achieve an intended result by providing feedback indicative of an input that will cause the device to generate the intended result 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 examples, while displaying, on the display (e.g., 702, 802, 851), the transfer user interface (e.g., 728, 840, 875), the electronic device (e.g., 700, 800, 850) displays an affordance for changing an account (e.g., a payment account, such as a debit card account or a credit card account, a points account, a resources account) for use in the transfer of the first type of item. The electronic device detects, via the one or more input devices, user activation of the affordance for changing the account. In response to detecting the user activation of the affordance for changing the account, the electronic device displays, on the display, an account user interface including a representation of a current account and a representation of a second account, wherein the current account is currently selected for use in the transfer. The electronic device detects, via the one or more input devices, user selection of the representation of the second account. In response to detecting the user selection of the representation of the second account, the electronic device selects the second account for use in the transfer (e.g., without using the first account).
In some examples, in response to (or subsequent to) transferring the first type of item to participants in the message conversation, the electronic device (e.g., 700, 800, 850) provides (e.g., in addition to the outputted feedback described in method 1200 with reference to
In some examples, subsequent to initiating the transfer of the first type of item between the participants (e.g., 710, 810, the user) in the message conversation (e.g., 708, 808, 859), and in accordance with a determination that the transfer of the first type of item has been accepted by a participant, a dynamic visual, audio, and/or sensory feedback is applied to the representation of the message and/or the selectable indication that corresponds to the first type of item by the device (e.g., as described below in method 1200 with reference to

In some embodiments, electronic device 1000 also displays, on display 1002, a virtual keyboard 1012 (e.g., an alphanumeric keyboard for typing a message) and a compose bar 1014 displaying the text of a message as a message is typed using virtual keyboard 1012. In some embodiments, a mechanical keyboard can be used in addition to or alternatively to virtual keyboard 1012 to type a message. In some embodiments, compose bar 1014 can expand (e.g., expand upwards) to accommodate a longer message or message object (e.g., an image, an emoticon, a special type of message object, such as a payment object). In some embodiments, compose bar 1014 includes a mic button 1016 which, when activated, enables the user to record a message using voice input.

In some embodiments, electronic device 1000 generates a feedback (e.g., a visual effect, a sensory feedback, such as a haptic effect, an audio feedback) associated with a completed transfer message object, which indicates to the user that the transfer of the file corresponding to message object has been accepted (e.g., viewed, downloaded). For example, once the transfer of the file corresponding to the transfer message object has been completed, a visual effect is applied to mini-file object 1022 of completed transfer message object 1028. In some embodiments, the visual effect applied to the mini-file object is a bolding (or thickening) of a border of the mini-file object. In some embodiments, the visual effect applied to the mini-file object is a black outline (e.g., a shadow) applied to a border of the mini-file object. In some embodiments, the visual effect applied to the mini-file object is a change color of at least a portion of the mini-file object.
In some embodiments, electronic device 1000 generates feedback (e.g., a visual feedback, a haptic feedback, an audio feedback) that is associated with the completed transfer message object or associated with an element (e.g., mini-file object 1022) of the completed transfer message object. In some embodiments, the feedback is a dynamic visual feedback causing display of the completed transfer message object (e.g., completed transfer message object 1028) or an element (e.g., mini-file object 1022) of the transfer message object to change as changes in the orientation of the device relative to reference point 1026 are detected. In some embodiments, changes in orientation of the device are detected via the one or more sensors of the device (e.g., an accelerometer, a camera). For example, the device detects movement, and thus changes in its orientation, via an accelerometer. For another example, the device detects changes in its position relative to the face of a viewer (e.g., the user) via a camera. In some embodiments, the dynamic feedback (e.g., visual, haptic, and/or audio feedback) gradually changes as the orientation of the device and/or the position of the device relative to the face of the user changes (e.g., the amount and/or direction of the change in the dynamic feedback is determined by an amount and/or direction of the change in the orientation of the device and/or the position of the device relative to the face of the user).
For example, in

In some embodiments, a mechanical keyboard can be used in addition to or alternatively to virtual keyboard 1112 to type a message. In some embodiments, compose bar 1114 can expand (e.g., expand upwards) to accommodate a longer message or message object (e.g., an image, an emoticon, a special type of message object, such as a payment object). In some embodiments, compose bar 1114 includes a mic button 1114A which, when activated, enables the user to record a message using voice input.
As shown in
As shown, payment message object 1118 also includes a mode indication 1120 (e.g., stating “PAY”) that the payment message object corresponds to a payment made by message participant 1110 to the user via an operating-system controlled payment transfer application (and not by a third-party application). Payment message object 1118 also includes an amount indication 1122 (e.g., “$28”) of the amount of the payment sent by message participant 1110 to the user. Alternatively, if payment message object 1118 corresponded to a request for payment (instead of a sent payment) by message participant 1110 to the user, amount indication 1122 would indicate an amount of the requested payment and, optionally, further indication that the amount is being requested (e.g., “$28 requested”).
Payment message object 1118 also includes an accept button 1124 for accepting the payment (or, alternatively, agreeing to send the payment made by a payment request) corresponding to received message object 1118 in the amount shown in amount indication 1122. In some embodiments, payment message object 1118 also includes an accompanying note message object 1126. In

In some embodiments, in response to detecting tap gesture 1101 on payment message object, electronic device 1100 generates feedback (e.g., a visual feedback, a haptic feedback, an audio feedback) associated with the payment message object. In some embodiments, the feedback is a dynamic visual feedback causing display of the payment message object (e.g., completed payment message object 1132) to change as changes in the orientation of the device relative to reference point 1128 are detected. In some embodiments, changes in orientation of the device are detected via the one or more sensors of the device (e.g., an accelerometer, a camera). For example, the device detects movement, and thus changes in its orientation, via an accelerometer. For another example, the device detects changes in its position relative to the face of a viewer (e.g., the user) via a camera. In some embodiments, the dynamic feedback (e.g., visual, haptic, and/or audio feedback) gradually changes as the orientation of the device and/or the position of the device relative to the face of the user changes (e.g., the amount and/or direction of the change in the dynamic feedback is determined by an amount and/or direction of the change in the orientation of the device and/or the position of the device relative to the face of the user).

As shown, transaction detail user interface 1134 includes a wallet button 1136 (e.g., a “View in Wallet” selectable indication) for viewing the transaction details in an electronic wallet application of electronic device 1100. In some embodiments, transaction detail user interface 1134 includes a send again button 1131 (e.g., if the payment associated payment message object 1135 was a payment made by the user to a message participant) for creating a new payment message object corresponding to a payment in the same amount as the currently-viewed transaction intended for the same recipient as the currently-viewed transaction. Thus, send again button 1131 provides the user with a quick and easy option to perform another payment in the same amount (e.g., “$28”) to the same recipient (e.g., message participant 1110) via the transaction detail user interface of the last transaction with that recipient. In some embodiments, transaction detail user interface 1134 includes a refund button 1133 (e.g., if the payment associated payment message object 1135 was a payment made by the user to a message participant) for requesting a refund of a sent payment. In some embodiments, refund button 1133 is only available (e.g., is only visible, is only selectable) if the payment associated with the payment message object has been accepted (e.g., is no longer pending because the intended recipient (e.g., message participant 1110) has accepted the payment).

As described below, method 1200 provides an intuitive way for managing peer-to-peer transfers. The method reduces the cognitive burden on a user for managing peer-to-peer transfers, thereby creating a more efficient human-machine interface. For battery-operated computing devices, enabling a user to manage peer-to-peer transfers faster and more efficiently conserves power and increases the time between battery charges.
In some examples, prior to displaying (1204), on the display (e.g., 1002, 1102), a graphical representation of the communication (e.g., 1020, 1118), the electronic device (e.g., 1000, 1100) receives (1202) a communication with a predetermined type of message from an external device. In some examples, the message corresponds to a resource transfer (e.g., computing resources, points, credits, funds, virtual resources) from a first account associated with the electronic device to a second account associated with an external device (e.g., a transfer of resources from an account of the electronic device's user to an account of the user of a different electronic device, such as a smartphone, a smartwatch, a laptop computer, a desktop computer)).
In some examples, the communication is associated with a completed transfer of a first type of item between a user of the device (e.g., 1000, 1100) and a participant (e.g., 1010, 1110) in a message conversation (e.g., 1008, 1108). In some examples, the transfer of the first type of item is a transfer of a sticker using a sticker sharing interface, a transfer of a photo using a photo sharing interface, a transfer of a payment using a payment interface, or a transfer of a resource using a resource-numerical value selection user interface for receiving user adjustment of the amount of resources, such as points, credits, or funds, to be sent or requested. In some examples, the communication corresponds to a request for transfer of the first type of item (e.g., funds) between the user of the device and a participant in the message conversation.
The electronic device (e.g., 1000, 1100) displays (1204), on the display (e.g., 1002, 1102), the graphical representation of the communication (e.g., 1020, 1118). In some examples, a state (1206) of the communication (e.g., the communication being in the first state or the second state) is indicative of an action taken by a participant (e.g., 1010, 1110), other than a user of the device, in a message conversation (e.g., a confirmation of payment by the participant on an external device). In some examples, the state of a communication indicates whether the receiver of the communication has read the message corresponding to the communication or accepted a payment corresponding to the communication.
In some examples, a state (1208) of the communication is indicative of an action taken by a user of the device (e.g., user has read a message corresponding to a communication, user has confirmed payment on the device). For example, the action taken by the user is accepting a payment associated with the communication or initiating accepting of a payment (e.g., by setting up a required payment account to accept the payment) associated with the communication (e.g., as described below in method 1800 with reference to
In some examples, the graphical representation of the communication (e.g., 1118) includes (1210) an indication (e.g., 1122) of a quantity of an item associated with the communication. In some examples, the quantity is the number of times a message has been viewed by a remote recipient. In some examples, the quantity is the amount of concurrency transferred, the amount of currency to be transferred, or the amount of currency requested to be transferred. In some examples, the quantity of the item associated with the communication is displayed with a special visual characteristic (e.g., a special font) that distinguishes the quantity from other item and/or elements on the display (e.g., as described below with reference to
While displaying the graphical representation of the communication (e.g., 1020, 1118) on the display (e.g., 1002, 1102), the electronic device (e.g., 1000, 1100) detects (1212), via the one or more sensor devices, a change in orientation of the electronic device relative to a reference point (e.g., 1026, 1128, a point in space, a point on the floor/ground, a point in a field of view of a camera). In some examples, the orientation of the electronic device relative to the reference point (e.g., 1026, 1128) changes when a user holding the electronic device is moving the electronic device relative to a point in space, on the floor, or on the ground while the user remains stationary. In some examples, the orientation of the electronic device relative to the reference point changes when the user (e.g., the user's head or eyes) is moving relative to the electronic device, which remains stationary relative to a point in space, on the floor, or on the ground.
In some examples, the reference point (e.g., 1026, 1128) is (1214) a face (e.g., face of the user of the device, a point on a face, such as an eye or nose) in a field of view of a sensor (e.g., a camera) of the one or more sensor.
In some examples, the reference point (e.g., 1026, 1128) is (1216) a static location (e.g., a fixed point on the ground/floor, a fixed point that is external to the device) external to the electronic device (e.g., 1000, 1100). In some examples, the device uses one or more sensors, such as accelerometers and/or a compass, to determine a change in orientation of the electronic device relative to the reference point, such as the earth.
In response (1218) to detecting the change in the orientation of the electronic device (e.g., 1000, 1100) relative to the reference point (e.g., 1026, 1128) while displaying the graphical representation of the communication on the display, blocks 1220-1226 are optionally performed.
In accordance with a determination that the communication has a first state (e.g., message read for an incoming message, payment accepted for an incoming payment, message sent for an outgoing message, payment approved for an outgoing payment, payment accepted for an outgoing payment), the electronic device (e.g., 1000, 1100) displays (1220) the graphical representation of the communication (e.g., 1020, 1118) and outputs a respective type of feedback (e.g., feedback on amount indication 1174 described in
In some examples, the respective type of feedback is a dynamic visual feedback (e.g., feedback on amount indication 1174 described in
In some examples, the respective type of feedback is a dynamic haptic feedback (e.g., 1030, 1130) (e.g., dynamically strengthening and weakening tactile outputs, a tactile output with changing tactile output patterns). For example, the strength or frequency of the tactile output changes as the device detects changes in orientation of the electronic device relative to the reference point is detected. Outputting a dynamic haptic feedback (e.g., 1030, 1130) (such as a haptic feedback that changes in strength or frequency) that corresponds to the change in orientation allows the user to know that the feedback is legitimate (e.g., is tied to the change in orientation) and is not illegitimate (e.g., pre-made haptic that is not tied to the change in orientation) and enables the user to identify whether a haptic feedback being provided is legitimate and therefore the associated communication is authentic. Providing improved haptic feedback to the user enhances the operability of the device and makes 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 examples, the respective type of feedback (e.g., visual feedback, sensory feedback, audio feedback) is caused (e.g., only) by an operating system program of the electronic device and non-operating system programs of the electronic device are not enabled to cause the respective type of feedback. In some examples, only the operating system is enabled to initiate/cause the respective type of feedback. In some examples, the operating system only enables certain applications to initiate/cause the respective type of feedback (e.g., a particular frequency of tactile output or accelerometer controlled visual animation).
In some examples, the respective type of feedback is a graphical animation (e.g., a lighting effect) displayed over the graphical representation of the communication (e.g. 1028, 1172). In some examples, the graphical representation of the communication (e.g., 1170, 1172) includes a currency indicator (e.g., a “$” symbol, a “€” symbol).
In some examples, the respective type of feedback is a graphical animation (e.g., a shadow) displayed under the graphical representation (e.g., 1028, 1172). In some examples, the graphical representation of the communication (e.g., 1170, 1172) includes a currency indicator (e.g., a “$” symbol, a “€” symbol).
In some examples, the respective type of feedback is a graphical animation (e.g., shifting colors, shifting shapes) that creates an illusion that the graphical representation (e.g., 1028, 1172) (or portion thereof) is a three dimensional object that is being viewed from different angles as the angle (or orientation) of the device changes. In some examples, the graphical representation of the communication (e.g., 1170, 1172) includes a currency indicator (e.g., a “$” symbol, a “€” symbol).
In some examples, outputting the respective type of feedback comprises outputting a non-visual feedback (e.g., a haptic feedback that includes one or more tactile outputs and/or an audio feedback). In some examples, the haptic feedback uses frequencies of tactile outputs that are only available to first party apps (and thus cannot be simulated by any other app developer).
In accordance with a determination that the communication has a second state (e.g., message unread for an incoming message, payment unaccepted for an incoming payment, message unsent for an outgoing message, payment unapproved for an outgoing payment) that is different from the first state, the electronic device (e.g., 1000, 1100) displays (1226) the graphical representation of the communication (e.g., 1028, 1172) without outputting feedback (e.g., feedback on mini-file object 1022 or on amount indication 1174 described in
In some examples, the communication is a message in a message conversation (e.g., 1108) between a plurality of conversation participants (e.g., 1010, 1110) and the communication is associated with a confirmation. Prior to displaying, on the display (e.g., 1002, 1102), the graphical representation of the communication (e.g., 1170, 1172), the electronic device (e.g., 1000, 1100) detects user activation of a confirmation affordance (e.g., to confirm a payment). In response to detecting user activation of the confirmation affordance, the electronic device displays, on the display, the graphical representation of the communication (e.g., 1170) in the message conversation, and outputs a second type of feedback (e.g., visual feedback, haptic feedback that includes one or more tactile outputs, audio feedback) corresponding to the graphical representation of the communication, wherein the feedback indicates that the communication has been confirmed. In some examples, the haptic feedback uses frequencies of tactile outputs that are only available to first party apps (and thus cannot be simulated by any other app developer). In some examples, the second type of feedback is a portion of the first type of feedback. In some examples, the second type of feedback is different from the first type of feedback. In some examples, the second type of feedback does not vary based on an angle of the device.
In some examples, the electronic device (e.g., 1000, 1100) receives (1228) user selection (e.g., a tap) of the graphical representation of the communication (e.g., 1028, 1172). In response to receiving the user selection of the graphical representation of the communication (e.g., 1028, 1172), the electronic device displays (1230), on the display (e.g., 1002, 1102), a detail user interface (e.g., 1134) including information (e.g., 1134A-E, an amount of a payment transaction, a quantity of a resource transfer, a date and time of a transaction/transfer, a note/comment relating to a transaction/transfer) associated with the communication.
In some examples, in response to receiving the communication (e.g., 1144 with the predetermined type of message: in accordance with a determination, based on an analysis (of the contents) of the communication, that the communication meets a first predefined condition (e.g., raises a predetermined flag (e.g., because the communication is suspected to be from an untrusted sender, because the communication is suspected to be spam/junk)), the electronic device (e.g., 1000, 1100) displays, on the display (e.g., 1002, 1102), a first indication (e.g., 1158, 1160, a notification, message, or prompt warning the user that the communication (e.g., 1144) is from an untrusted sender, a notification, message, or prompt indicating that the communication is suspected to be spam/junk, a notification, message, or prompt warning the user that the communication may not be safe to view/select/open) that the communication meets the first predefined condition (e.g., raised/set the predetermined flag) and, optionally, the electronic device optionally forgoes outputting the respective type of feedback corresponding to the graphical representation of the communication (e.g., 1144). Automatically displaying an indication (e.g., 1158, 1160, an indication that the message is spam) when the predefined condition is met reduces the likelihood that the user will participant in a transfer corresponding to the message without further investigating the transfer, thereby enhancing the security of the technique and reducing the number of fraudulent transfers. Reducing the number of fraudulent transfers enhances the operability of the device and makes the user-device interface more secure (e.g., by reducing fraud when operating/interacting with the device). In accordance with a determination, based on the analysis (of the contents) of the communication (e.g., 1118), that the communication does not meet the first predefined condition (e.g., the communication does not raise/set the predetermined flag) (e.g., because the communication is from a trusted sender, because the communication is not suspected to be spam/junk), the electronic device forgoes displaying, on the display, the first indication (e.g., 1158, 1160, the indication that the message may be spam). In some examples, the first indication is that the message is potentially a spam message.
In some examples, the communication (e.g., 1144) meets the first predefined condition (e.g., raises the predetermined flag) when the external device does not correspond to one of a plurality of contacts (e.g., a contacts list, a trusted contacts list, a user-configured contacts list) associated with the electronic device (e.g., 1000, 1100) (e.g., the communication is from an unknown number).
In some examples, the communication (e.g., 1144) meets the first predefined condition (e.g., raises/sets the predetermined flag) when the external device corresponds to one of a plurality of contacts (e.g., a spam numbers list, a suspected fraudulent accounts list). In some examples, the plurality of contacts is a list of contacts identified as being untrustworthy.
In some examples, in accordance with the determination, based on the analysis (of the contents) of the communication (e.g., 1144), that the communication meets the first predetermined condition (e.g., raises/sets the predetermined flag) (e.g., because the communication is suspected to be from an untrusted sender, because the communication is suspected to be spam/junk), the electronic device (e.g., 1000, 1100) displays, on the display (e.g., 1002, 1102), a reporting affordance (e.g., 1160) (e.g., for reporting the spam/junk communication to a remote server). While displaying, on the display, the reporting affordance (e.g., 1160), the electronic device detects user activation of the reporting affordance (e.g., 1160). In response to detecting the user activation of the reporting affordance, the electronic device transmits, to an external device (e.g., an external server), information associated with the communication that raised (or set) the predetermined flag.
In some examples, subsequent to displaying, on the display, the first indication (e.g., 1158, 1160, a notification, message, or prompt warning the user that the communication is from an untrusted sender, a notification, message, or prompt indicating that the communication is suspected to be spam/junk, a notification, message, or prompt warning the user that the communication may not be safe to view/select/open) that the communication raised (or set) the predetermined flag, the electronic device (e.g., 1000, 1100) receives user activation of a send affordance (e.g., 1124) displayed on the graphical representation of the communication. In response to receiving the user activation of the send affordance (e.g., 1124) (and in accordance with the determination, based on an analysis (of the contents) of the communication, that the communication meets a first predefined condition): the electronic device displays a second indication (e.g., 1162, “Sender Unknown, Do You Still Wish To Proceed?”) that the communication met the first predetermined condition (e.g., raised/set the predetermined flag), wherein the second indication is visually distinguishable from the first indication, (e.g., the second indication is more visibly prominent than the first indication), and displays, on the display, a cancel affordance (e.g., 1162A) for forgoing proceeding with (e.g., canceling completion of, forgoing display of a transfer user interface for initiating transfer of the first type of item) a transfer of the first type of item between a user of the device and a participant in a message conversation. In some examples, the transfer corresponds to the received communication. In some examples, a second send affordance (e.g., 1162B) is displayed concurrently with the cancel affordance. In response to detecting activation of the second send affordance (e.g., 1162B), the electronic device (e.g., 1000, 1100) displays a transfer user interface (e.g., 1164) for proceeding with the transfer of the first type of item between the user of the device and the participant in the message conversation. Displaying a second indication (e.g., 1162, an indication that the message is spam) when the user provides input to continue with the transfer reduces the likelihood that the user will participant in a transfer corresponding to the message without further investigating the transfer and/or message, thereby enhancing the security of the technique and reducing the number of fraudulent transfers. Reducing the number of fraudulent transfers enhances the operability of the device and makes the user-device interface more secure (e.g., by reducing fraud when operating/interacting with the device).
In some examples, the detail user interface (e.g., 1134) includes a cancellation affordance (e.g., 1141, an affordance for requesting a refund if the communication is related to a payment, an affordance for requesting return of a sent item/resource if the communication is related to an item/resource). The cancellation affordance is user-selectable when the communication is in the first state (e.g., 170). The electronic device (e.g., 1000, 1100) detects user activation of the cancellation affordance (e.g., 1141). In response to detecting the user activation of the cancellation affordance (e.g., 1141): in accordance with the determination that the communication has the first state, the electronic device transmits a second communication with the predetermined type of message to an external device associated with the communication requesting a return transfer of a first type of item that was transferred via the communication. In some examples, the cancellation affordance (e.g., 1141) is not user-selectable when the communication is in the second state. In some examples, the cancellation affordance (e.g., 1141) is not displayed when the communication is in the second state. In some examples, in accordance with the determination that the communication is in the second state (e.g., transitions to the second state from the first state) the electronic device causes the graphical representation of the communication to no longer be selectable, and provides (e.g., displays, on the display) an indication that the graphical representation of the communication is no longer selectable. In some examples, the cancellation affordance (e.g., 1141) is conditionally displayed depending on the state of the communication (e.g., in accordance with a determination that the communication has the first state, displaying the cancellation affordance in the detail user interface, and in accordance with a determination that the communication has the second state, forgoing display of the cancellation affordance in the detail user interface).
In some examples, the graphical representation of the communication (e.g., 1028, 1172) having the first state (e.g., message read for an incoming message, payment accepted for an incoming payment, message sent for an outgoing message, payment approved for an outgoing payment) includes a graphical indication (e.g., 1174) of a completed transfer of a first type of item (e.g., a sticker, a photo, or a payment object) between the electronic device (e.g., 1000, 1100) and an external device.

For example, in
Further, in some embodiments, because payment message object 1420 corresponds to a payment by the user (instead of a payment request), amount indication 1468 of payment message object 1420 displays the numerical value of the payment amount (e.g., “$28”) in a payment font that is predetermined (or controlled, set, configured) by the operating system (of the device) to be associated with payments generated using the payment transfer user interface. In some embodiments, the payment font is type of font that is larger (in size) than a font used for regular text message object (e.g., message object 1418 in the messaging application).

Further, in some embodiments, as described above with reference to payment message object 1118 in
In some embodiments, a payment message object associated with a payment (e.g., payment message object 1420) sent by the user (to a message participant, such as message participant 1410), a payment request (e.g., payment message object 1460) made by the user (to a message participant, such as message participant 1410), a payment request (e.g., payment message object 1490) made by a message participant (e.g., message participant 1410) to the user, and a payment (e.g., payment message object 1491) sent by a message participant (e.g., message participant 1410) to the user are displayed, on a display (e.g., display 1402) with the same visual characteristic, such as the same (background) color, the same shade, the same graphical pattern, and/or the same shape. In some embodiments, this consistency of visual characteristics is true across the two communicating devices (e.g., on the user's device and on the message participant's device).
In some embodiments, while payment related objects are displayed in a similar manner on two communicating devices, non-payment related objects are displayed in a different manner, as between the devices. For example, while a payment message object associated with a payment (e.g., payment message object 1420) sent by the user (to a message participant, such as message participant 1410), a payment request (e.g., payment message object 1460) made by the user (to a message participant, such as message participant 1410), a payment request (e.g., payment message object 1490) made by a message participant (e.g., message participant 1410) to the user, and a payment (e.g., payment message object 1491) sent by a message participant (e.g., message participant 1410) to the user are displayed, on a display (e.g., display 1402) with the same visual characteristic (e.g., a first (background) color, shade, graphical pattern, and/or shape) on both communicating devices (e.g., on both the user's device and the message participant's device), a non-payment message object (e.g., message object 1416 and message object 1418) are displayed with a different visual characteristic on the two communicating devices. For example, on the user's device (e.g., electronic device 1400), while all payment message objects are displayed with the first visual characteristic, message object 1416 (corresponding to a message sent by the user to message participant 1410) is displayed with a second visual characteristic (e.g., a second (background) color, shade, graphical pattern, and/or shape that is different from the first (background) color, shade, graphical pattern, and/or shape), message object 1418 (corresponding to a message sent by message participant 1410 to the user) is displayed with a third visual characteristic (e.g., a third (background) color, shade, graphical pattern, and/or shape that is different from both the first (background) color, shade, graphical pattern, and/or shape and the second (background) color, shade, graphical pattern, and/or shape). By contrast, on the message participant's (e.g., message participant 1410's) device, while all payment message objects are displayed with the first visual characteristic, a message object corresponding to message object 1416 on the user's device is displayed with the third (instead of the second) visual characteristic and the message object corresponding to message object 1418 on the user's device is displayed with the second (instead of the third) visual characteristic.
As described below, method 1500 provides an intuitive way for managing peer-to-peer transfers. The method reduces the cognitive burden on a user for managing peer-to-peer transfers, thereby creating a more efficient human-machine interface. For battery-operated computing devices, enabling a user to manage peer-to-peer transfers faster and more efficiently conserves power and increases the time between battery charges.
In some examples, prior to displaying, on the display (e.g., 1302, 1402), a numerical value selection user interface (e.g., 1320, 1440), the electronic device (e.g., 1300, 1400) displays (1502), on the display (e.g., 1302, 1402), a third message object (e.g., 1418) that corresponds to a message (e.g., a message requesting the respective numerical value) received from a participant (e.g., 1310, 1410), other than a user of the electronic device, of the one or more participants. In some examples, in accordance with a determination that the third message was authenticated (e.g., via fingerprint authentication, via facial recognition authentication, via iris/retina scan authentication, or via passcode), by the participant, on an external device of the participant, the electronic device concurrently displays (1504), with the third message object (e.g., 1418), an indication (e.g., an message, notification, or note/comment stating that the received message is a verified message) that the third message was biometrically authenticated (e.g., verified) by the participant (e.g., a request for payment that was made with authentication by the sender is displayed differently at the recipient than a request for payment that was made without authentication to indicate to the recipient when the request for payment is an authorized request).
In some examples, prior to displaying, on the display (e.g., 1302, 1402), a numerical value selection user interface (e.g., 1320, 1440), the electronic device (e.g., 1300, 1400) displays, based on an analysis of the contents of the third message object (e.g., 1418) (or one or more additional message objects in the message transcript), a selectable indication (e.g., corresponding to a payment amount included in the contents of the message object). In some examples, in response to detecting user selection of the selectable indication, the electronic device displays (launches) the numerical value selection user interface (e.g., 1320, 1440) with the numerical value corresponding to the requested amount (e.g., of funds) indicated in the contents of the third message object (e.g., 1418) pre-populated within the numerical value selection user interface (e.g., as described in method 900 with reference to
The electronic device (e.g., 1300, 1400) displays (1506), on the display (e.g., 1302, 1402), a numerical value selection user interface (e.g., 1320, 1440). While displaying the numerical value selection user interface (e.g., 1320, 1440), the electronic device (e.g., 1300, 1400) receives (1508), via the one or more input devices, an input (e.g., a user input on a touch sensitive surface of the device) that corresponds to selection of a respective numerical value from a plurality of numerical values in the numerical value selection interface.
In response (1510) to receiving the input that corresponds to the selection of the respective numerical value, the electronic device (e.g., 1300, 1400) displays (1512), on the display (e.g., 1302, 1402), a representation of the respective numerical value (e.g., 1448) in the numerical value selection user interface (e.g., 1320, 1440).
While displaying the representation of the respective numerical value (e.g., 1448) in the numerical value selection user interface (e.g., 1320, 1440), the electronic device (e.g., 1300, 1400) receives (1514), via the one or more input devices, an input that corresponds to a request to send a message, via a messaging application (e.g., 1306, 1406), that corresponds to the respective numerical value.
In response (1516) to receiving the input (e.g., 1401) that corresponds to the request to send the message, via the messaging application (e.g., 1306, 1406), that corresponds to the respective numerical value, the electronic device (e.g., 1300, 1400) sends (1518) the message that corresponds to the respective numerical value to one or more participants (e.g., 1310, 1410).
In some examples, the one or more participants (e.g., 1310, 1410) includes (1520) a first participant and a second participant, and the first participant and the second participant are different from a user of the electronic device (e.g., 1300, 1400).
In accordance with (1522) a determination that the message is designated as a transmission message for the respective numerical value (e.g., a sending out of computing resources, a sending out of points, a sending out of credits, a sending out of funds, a sending out of virtual resources), the electronic device (e.g., 1300, 1400) displays (1524), on the display, a first message object (e.g., 1344, 1420, a text message, a chat bubble, an open email) in a message transcript (e.g., 1308, 1408) of the messaging application (between a user of the electronic device and a remote user). The first message object (e.g., 1344, 1420) includes a graphical representation of the respective numerical value (e.g., 1346, 1468) in a respective font that is associated with requests generated using the numerical value selection user interface (e.g., a special type of font controlled by the operating system). In some examples, the respective font is a font that is larger than a font used for text in other message objects in the message transcript. Displaying, in a message transcript (e.g., 1308, 1408), a message that includes a graphical representation of a value in a particular font provides the user with feedback about how the message was generated, that the message relates to a transmission (e.g., a transmission of funds, rather than a request for funds), and the value that corresponds to the transmission. 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 achieve an intended result by providing feedback indicative of an input that will cause the device to generate the intended result 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 accordance with (1528) a determination that the message is designated as a request message for the respective numerical value (e.g., a request for computing resources, a request for points, a request for credits, a request for funds, a request for virtual resources), the electronic device (e.g., 1300, 1400) displays (1530), on the display (e.g., 1302, 1402), a second message object (e.g., 1358, 1460) in the message transcript (e.g., 1308, 1408) of the messaging application (e.g., 1306, 1406) different from the first message object (e.g., 1344, 1420, a text message, a chat bubble, an open email).
In the second message object (e.g., 1358, 1460), the respective numerical value is displayed (1532) in a font that is smaller (e.g., smaller in height) than the respective font. In the second message object (e.g., 1360, 1460), a predetermined request indicator (e.g., a symbol, such as currency symbol, a “$,” or a textual indicator, such as “Request for Resources”) associated with requests generated using the numerical value selection user interface is displayed (1534) in the respective font. Displaying, in the message transcript (e.g., 1308, 1408), a message that includes a predetermined request indicator in a particular font without displaying the numerical value in the same font provides the user with feedback about how the message was generated, that the message relates to a request (e.g., a request for funds, rather than a transmission of funds), and the value that corresponds to the request. 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 achieve an intended result by providing feedback indicative of an input that will cause the device to generate the intended result 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 examples, the message transcript (e.g., 1308, 1408) of the messaging application (e.g., 1306, 1406) includes (1536) a third message object (e.g., 1491, received from a participant (e.g., 1310, 1410) other than the user). In some examples, the third message object (e.g., 1491) corresponds (1538) to a transmission message (e.g., a payment message sending funds in the sent numerical value amount to the user) for sending one or more items corresponding to a numerical value generated at an external device of a participant (e.g., 1310, 1410) of the one or more participants. In some examples, the third message object includes (1540) an accept affordance (e.g., 1471) for accepting one or more items associated with the third message object at the electronic device (e.g., one or more files or a payment from the participant from whom the third message object was received).
In some examples, the message transcript (e.g., 1308, 1408) of the messaging application (e.g., 1306, 1406) includes (1542) a fourth message object (e.g., 1490, received from a participant (e.g., 1310, 1410) other than the user). In some examples, the fourth message object (e.g., 1490) corresponds (1544) to a request message (e.g., a payment request message requesting funds in the requested numerical value amount) for requesting one or more items corresponding to a numerical value generated at an external device of a participant of the one or more participants. In some examples, the fourth message object (e.g., 1490) includes (1546) a send affordance (e.g., 1471) for sending one or more items associated with the fourth message object to a participant from whom the fourth message object (e.g., 1490) was received (e.g., one or more files or a payment from a user of the device to the participant from whom the fourth message object was received).
In response (1516) to receiving the input that corresponds to the request to send the message, via the messaging application (e.g., 1306, 1406), that corresponds to the respective numerical value, in accordance with a determination that a first participant (e.g., 1310, 1410) of the one or more participants is ineligible to receive the message (e.g., the first participant's device does not support transfers of resources), the electronic device (e.g., 1300, 1400) displays (1548), on the display (e.g., 1402), an indication (e.g., pop-up notification, an error message in the message application, a note/comment accompanying the message in the messaging application), that the first participant is ineligible to receive the message. In some examples, where the intended recipient (or an intended recipient of the plurality) is ineligible (e.g., not enabled) to participate in transfers/requests for resources, a send affordance (e.g., used to send a drafted message) is greyed out or otherwise prevented from being activated. Displaying an indication that the remote user is ineligible to receive the message provides the user with feedback about the capabilities of the remote user's device and provides the user with visual feedback that the message will not be sent. 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 achieve an intended result by providing feedback indicative of an input that will cause the device to generate the intended result 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 examples, the electronic device receives (1550), from a participant (e.g., 1310, 1410) of the one or more participants, a message that corresponds to a second respective numerical value. In some examples, in accordance with a determination that the received message is designated as a transmission message for the second respective numerical value (e.g., a sending out of computing resources, a sending out of points, a sending out of credits, a sending out of funds, a sending out of virtual resources), the electronic device displays (1552), on the display, a first received message object (e.g., 1491, a text message bubble, a chat bubble, an open email that is received from a different participant) in the message transcript (e.g., 1308, 1408) of the messaging application (between a user of the electronic device and a remote user). In some examples, the first received message object (e.g., 1491) includes (1554) a graphical representation of the second respective numerical value (e.g., 1468) in the respective font that is associated with requests generated using the numerical value selection user interface (e.g., a special type of font controlled by the operating system). In some examples, the respective font is a font that is larger than a font used for text in other message objects in the message transcript. Displaying, in a message transcript, a message that includes a graphical representation of a value in a particular font provides the user with feedback about how the message was generated, that the message relates to a transmission (e.g., a transmission of funds, rather than a request for funds), and the value of the transmission. 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 achieve an intended result by providing feedback indicative of an input that will cause the device to generate the intended result 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 examples, in accordance with a determination that the received message is designated as a request message for the second respective numerical value (e.g., a request for computing resources, a request for points, a request for credits, a request for funds, a request for virtual resources), the electronic device (e.g., 1300, 1400) displays (1556), on the display (e.g., 1302, 1402), a second received message object (e.g., 1490) in the message transcript (e.g., 1308, 1408) of the messaging application different from the first received message object (e.g., 1491, a text message, a chat bubble, an open email). In some examples, in the second received message object (e.g., 1490), the respective numerical value (e.g., 1468) is displayed (1558) in the font that is smaller (e.g., smaller in height) than the respective font. In some examples, a predetermined request indicator (e.g., a symbol, such as a currency symbol or a “$,” or a textual indicator, such as “Request for Resources”) associated with requests generated using the numerical value selection user interface is displayed (1560) in the respective font. Displaying, in the message transcript, a message that includes a predetermined request indicator in a particular font without displaying the numerical value in the same font provides the user with feedback about how the message was generated, that the message relates to a request (e.g., a request for funds, rather than a transmission of funds), and the value of the request. 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 achieve an intended result by providing feedback indicative of an input that will cause the device to generate the intended result 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 examples, the electronic device (e.g., 1300, 1400) concurrently displays (1562) (e.g., with the first message object, with the second message object), at a first location (e.g., within the first message object, adjacent to the first message object) associated with a message object (e.g., the first message object or the second message object) in the message transcript (e.g., 1308, 1408) of the messaging application (e.g., 1306, 1406), a visual indicator (e.g., 1494, 1496, text, such as “accepted,” “pending,” “viewed,” or a graphical indicator) indicating a status associated with an action of a participant (e.g., 1310, 1410) of the one or more participants. In some examples, in accordance with a determination that the participant (e.g., 1310, 1410) has taken an action (e.g., accepted a transfer, accepted a payment, viewed a transfer, viewed a payment, decline to accept a transfer, declined to accept a payment) changing the status, the electronic device updates (1564) the visual indicator (e.g., 1494, 1496) to reflect the change in status associated with the action of the participant.
In some examples, the first location at least partially overlaps with the displayed message object (e.g., 1344, 1358, 1420, 1460, 1490, 1491). In some examples, the first location does not overlap with the displayed message object. In some examples, content of the visual indicator is controlled by an operating system of the electronic device (e.g., the visual indicator is displayed in a background of a transcript on which representations of message are displayed, and is visually distinguished from the representations of messages in the transcript).
In some examples, subsequent to displaying (1530), on the display (e.g., 1302, 1402), the second message object (e.g., 1358, 1460) in the messaging application, in accordance with a determination that a transfer of a first type of item in a quantity corresponding to the respective numerical value has been initiated (or accepted) by an intended recipient of the message associated with the second message object, the electronic device (e.g., 1300, 1400) changes (1566) display of a visual characteristic of the second message object (e.g., 1358, 1460) from a first visual characteristic to a second visual characteristic.
In some examples, the electronic device (e.g., 1300, 1400) receives (1568), from an external device associated with a participant of the one or more participants, a second message (e.g., a resource request message, a payment request message, a regular text message containing only text) associated with a request for a second respective numerical value (e.g., a request message that includes an embedded request for computing resources, points, credits, funds, or virtual resources, or a regular text message that includes a mention of a request for computing resources, points, credits, funds, or virtual resources). Subsequent to (1570) receiving the second message associated with the request for the second respective numerical value and in accordance with a determination that a predetermined amount of time (e.g., a pre-set time limit, such as 1 hour) has passed since receiving the second message, and in accordance with a determination that the second message is designated (e.g., is sent using a corresponding numerical value selection user interface by the participant on the external device) as a request message for one or more items corresponding to the second respective numerical value, the electronic device generates (1572) a reminder (e.g., displayed on a lock screen of the electronic device, displays as a numerical indicator on an icon for starting the messaging application) of the received second message. Subsequent to (1570) receiving the second message associated with the request for the second respective numerical value and in accordance with a determination that the second message is not designated as a request message (e.g., is not sent using the corresponding numerical value selection user interface on the external device, but is a regular text message containing text relating to a request for the second respective numerical value) for one or more items corresponding to the second respective numerical value, the electronic device forgoes (1574) generating the reminder of the received second message.
In some examples, the first message object (e.g., 1344, 1420), the second message object (e.g., 1460), the first received message object (e.g., 1491), and the second received message object (e.g., 1490) are displayed with a first visual characteristic (e.g., a color, a shade, a graphical pattern, a shape). Thus, in some examples, the first message object, the second message object, the first received message object, and the second received message object are all displayed with the same visual characteristic, such as the same color, the same background color, the same shade, the same graphical pattern, and/or the same shape.
In some examples, a third message object (e.g., 1416) that corresponds to a message of the messaging application (e.g., 1306, 1406) that was sent by the electronic device (e.g., 1300, 1400) and does not correspond to the respective numerical value (and/or does not correspond to a message generated using a numerical value selection user interface) is displayed with a second visual characteristic (e.g., a color, a shade, a graphical pattern, a shape) and a third received message object (e.g., 1418) that corresponds to a messaging application that was received from the one or more participants and does not correspond to the second respective numerical value (and/or does not correspond to a message generated using a numerical value selection user interface) is displayed with a third visual characteristic (e.g., a color, a shade, a graphical pattern, a shape) that is different from the second visual characteristic. Differentiating messages based on whether they were sent by the device or received by the device provides the user with visual feedback about the sender and recipient of the message. 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 achieve an intended result by providing feedback indicative of an input that will cause the device to generate the intended result 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 examples, the first message object (e.g., 1344, 1420) and the second message object (e.g., 1460) are displayed with a first visual characteristic (e.g., a color, a shade, a graphical pattern, a shape). In some examples, messages that do not correspond to transfers or requests for resources/funds have a different background color from messages that do correspond to transfers or requests for resources/funds.
In some examples, a third message object (e.g., 1416) that corresponds to a message of the messaging application (e.g., 1306, 1406) that does not correspond to the respective numerical value (and/or does not correspond to a message generated using a numerical value selection user interface) is displayed with a second visual characteristic (e.g., a color, a shade, a graphical pattern, a shape) that is different from the first visual characteristic. Visually differentiating between messages that do and do not correspond to transfer of items helps the user quickly identify messages that include transfers of items. This is particularly helpful because non-transfer messages involve limited consequences and users may glance over such messages with little review, while messages that correspond to transfers involve relatively higher consequences. The differentiated visual feedback prompts the user to review such messages more carefully (and potentially take action). 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 achieve an intended result by providing feedback indicative of an input that will cause the device to generate the intended result 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 examples, the one or more participants include a first participant (e.g., 1310, 1410) and a second participant, and the first participant and the second participant are different from a user of the electronic device (e.g., 1300, 1400). In some examples, the electronic device receives an indication (e.g., based on user input, based on text of one or more messages between the participants) that an intended recipient of the message is the first participant and not the second participant. Subsequent to receiving the indication that the intended recipient of the message is the first participant and not the second participant, and in accordance with the determination that the message is designated as a transmission message for the respective numerical value (e.g., a sending out of computing resources, a sending out of points, a sending out of credits, a sending out of funds, a sending out of virtual resources), the electronic device (e.g., 1300, 1400) displays, on the display (e.g., 1302, 1402), the first message object (e.g., 1416) in a second message transcript (e.g., a chat screen between only the user of the electronic device and the first participant, and not involving the second participant) different from the message transcript of the messaging application. The second message transcript is not associated with the second participant (e.g., is only associated with the first participant and the user of the electronic device). Thus, in some examples, if the original messaging conversation was a group conversation, and the user intends to send the message to only one participant of the group conversation, a new conversation is created between only the user and the intended recipient of the message. Subsequent to receiving the indication that the intended recipient of the message is the first participant and not the second participant, and in accordance with the determination that the message is designated as a request message for the respective numerical value (e.g., a sending out of computing resources, a sending out of points, a sending out of credits, a sending out of funds, a sending out of virtual resources), the electronic device displays, on the display, the second message object in the second message transcript of the messaging application.
In some examples, prior to sending the message to the one or more participants, the electronic device (e.g., 1300, 1400) receives, via the input mechanism (e.g., 1412), a user comment (e.g., text relating to the message to be sent to the one or more participants). In some examples, prior to receiving the user comment, the electronic device receives an input (e.g., a tap) on a comment indicator (e.g., a comment region or comment bar for entering text, a comment affordance for bringing up a keyboard). In some examples, the numerical value selection user interface (e.g., 1320, 1440) includes a comment region or comment bar for entering comments. In some examples, the numerical value selection user interface (e.g., 1320, 1440) includes a comment affordance for bringing up a keyboard that enables the user to enter comments. In some examples, in response to receiving the input on the comment indicator, the device displays an input mechanism (e.g., a virtual keyboard for typing text, a digital assistant to entering text via spoken user input) for entering a comment. In some examples, subsequent to receiving user comment, and in accordance with the determination that the message is designated as a transmission message for one or more items corresponding to the respective numerical value (e.g., a sending out of computing resources, a sending out of points, a sending out of credits, a sending out of funds, a sending out of virtual resources), the electronic device concurrently displays, adjacent to (e.g., below) the first message object (e.g., 1344, 1420), a message object (e.g., 1463) including the user comment (e.g., 1461). In some examples, subsequent to receiving user comment, and in accordance with the determination that the message is designated as a request message for one or more items corresponding to the respective numerical value (e.g., a requesting of computing resources, a requesting of points, a requesting of credits, a requesting of funds, a requesting of virtual resources), the electronic device concurrently displays, adjacent to (e.g., below) the second message object (e.g., 1460), the message object including the user comment.

In some embodiments, gift payment message object 1718 includes a graphical indication 1724 (e.g., instead of an indication of the payment, thus hiding the payment amount). In some embodiments, graphical indication 1724 is a graphical animation (e.g., a gift box, an envelope, a birthday cake) that informs the user that the payment corresponding to gift payment message object 1718 is as gift. In some embodiments, graphical indication 1724 is a dynamic graphical animation (e.g., an opening gift box, an opening envelope, a birthday cake with lighted candles) that informs the user that the payment corresponding to gift payment message object 1718 is a gift.

In some embodiments, initial setup notification user interface 1740 includes an (graphical and/or textual) indication 1742 informing the user that a payment account associated with the user account (logged into the device and belonging to the user of the device) must be activated (e.g., set up, configured). For example, in
In some embodiments, in accordance with a determination (e.g., made by electronic device 1700 based on accounts stored or logged into the device or made by an external device, such as a server, storing information about accounts associated with the user of the device) that a required payment account associated with the user is already activated (e.g., is already set up, is already configured), the device proceeds with accepting the gift payment sent by message participant 1710 via, for example, the steps described above with reference to
In some embodiments, if the payment account is already activated, the payment corresponding to a payment message object (e.g., gift payment message object 1718) is automatically accepted without any user input (e.g., without tap gesture 1703). In some embodiments, electronic device 1700 proceeds to automatically accept (without any user input, such as tap gesture 1703, on the payment message object corresponding to the received payment) the received payment is an automatic accept option is enabled on the device. In some embodiments, even if the automatic accept option is enabled on the device, the device forgoes automatically accepting a payment if the sender of the payment (e.g., message participant 1710) is not on a contacts list or a trusted contacts list associated with the user account logged onto the device. In some embodiments, even if the payment account is already activated and an automatic accept option is enabled, if electronic device 1700 determines that there is no record of any prior transactions involving the payment account (e.g., if the device determines that the user has already not yet received a first payment), the device forgoes automatically accepting the payment in that first instance and instead requires user input (e.g., tap gesture 1703) to accept the payment.

In some embodiments, in addition to or instead of a dynamic visual feedback, the device generates a dynamic haptic feedback. In some embodiments, the dynamic haptic feedback is a dynamically strengthening and weakening tactile output caused by the device. In some embodiments, the dynamic haptic feedback is a tactile output with changing tactile output patterns caused by the device. In some embodiments, the strength or frequency of the tactile output changes as the device detects changes in the orientation of the device relative to the reference point (e.g., reference point 1729).
In some embodiments, the generated feedback (e.g., visual feedback, sensory feedback, audio feedback) is caused (e.g., only) by an operating system program of the device and non-operating system programs of the device are not enabled to cause the feedback.
Following activation of a payment account,
In some embodiments, in response to detecting user selection of completed gift payment message object 1718 shown in
As described below, method 1800 provides an intuitive way for managing peer-to-peer transfers. The method reduces the cognitive burden on a user for managing peer-to-peer transfers, thereby creating a more efficient human-machine interface. For battery-operated computing devices, enabling a user to manage peer-to-peer transfers faster and more efficiently conserves power and increases the time between battery charges.
The electronic device (e.g., 1600, 1700) displays (1802), on the display (e.g., 1602, 1702), a message object (e.g., 1718, a text message, a chat bubble, an open email) in a message conversation (e.g., 1608, 1708) (between a user of the electronic device and a remote user (e.g., 1610, 1710), in a messaging application). The message object (e.g., 1620, 1718) includes (1804) an indication (e.g., 1622, 1724, 1726) of a first one or more items sent from a participant in the conversation to a user of the electronic device (e.g., a specially encrypted message or a payment object that corresponds to a payment from the participant to the user of the device). In some examples, the indication (e.g., 1622, 1726) indicates the first amount of a resource, which can be deposited into an account of the user. Displaying messages in the conversation provides the user with contextual feedback regarding the sender/receiver of messages in the conversation and reduces the need for the user to investigate the sender/receiver for further messages displayed in the conversation. Displaying a message that includes an indication of the items (or quantity of items) provides the user with visual feedback regarding what has been received. 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 achieve an intended result by providing feedback indicative of an input that will cause the device to generate the intended result 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 examples, while (1806) displaying at least the portion of the message conversation (e.g., 1608, 1708) and prior to (1808) detecting, via the one or more input devices, the input that corresponds to the request to obtain the first one or more items (e.g., an input on an accept affordance for playing the specially encrypted message or accepting the payment), and in accordance with (1810) a determination that the electronic device is associated with an activated account that is authorized to obtain the first content without further user confirmation (e.g., in accordance with a determination that the user has already set up a message decryption account configured the account to automatically decrypt messages or a peer-to-peer payment account configured to automatically accept payments), the electronic device (e.g., 1600, 1700) proceeds (1812) to obtain the first one or more items without detecting the input that corresponds to the request to obtain the first one or more items (and without requiring any additional user inputs). Thus, in some examples, the electronic device proceeds to automatically obtain the first content without any user input. In some examples, the electronic device proceeds to automatically obtain the first content without any user input from any participant. In some examples, the electronic device proceeds to automatically obtain the first content without any user input from a participant that is on a contacts list of the user's device. Automatically obtaining the items without detecting further user input when the device is associated with an activated, authorized account enables the user to more quickly obtain the items. Performing an operation when a set of conditions has been met without requiring further user input enhances the operability of the device and makes the user-device interface more efficient (e.g., by helping the user to achieve an intended result by providing feedback indicative of an input that will cause the device to generate the intended result 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 examples, the first one or more items are items of a first type (e.g., encrypted messages or payments). While (1806) displaying at least the portion of the message conversation (e.g., 1608, 1708) and in accordance with (1810) the determination that that the electronic device (e.g., 1600, 1700) is associated with the activated account that is authorized to obtain the items of the first type without further user confirmation, and in accordance with (1814) a determination that there is no record of a prior obtained items of the first type using the activated account (e.g., in accordance with a determination that the user has already set up a message decryption account but has not yet received an encrypted message, in accordance with a determination that the user has already set up a peer-to-peer payment account but has not yet received a payment), the electronic device: forgoes proceeding (1816) to obtain the first one or more items without detecting the input (e.g., input is required the first time, even if the user has configured the device to automatically decrypt messages/accept payments) and proceeds (1818) to obtain the first content in response to detecting the input that corresponds to the request to obtain the first one or more items.
In some examples, the first one or more items are items of a first type (e.g., encrypted messages or payments). While (1806) displaying at least the portion of the message conversation (e.g., 1608, 1708) and in accordance with (1810) the determination that that the electronic device (e.g., 1600, 1700) is associated with the activated account that is authorized to obtain the items of the first type without further user confirmation, in accordance with (1820) a determination that there is a record of a prior obtained items of the first type using the activated account (e.g., in accordance with a determination that the user has already set up a message decryption account and has already received at least one encrypted message, in accordance with a determination that the user has already set up a peer-to-peer payment account and has already received at least one payment), the electronic device proceeds (1822) to obtain the items of the first type without requiring detection of a user input that corresponds to a request to obtain items of the first type.
In some examples, while (1806) displaying at least the portion of the message conversation (e.g., 1608, 1708) and prior to (1808) detecting, via the one or more input devices, the input that corresponds to the request to obtain the first one or more items (e.g., an input on an accept affordance for playing the specially encrypted message or accepting the payment), and in accordance with a determination that the electronic device is not associated with an activated account that is authorized to obtain the first one or more items without further user confirmation, the electronic device (e.g., 1600, 1700) displays (1824), on the display (e.g., 1602, 1702), the accept affordance (e.g., an activation affordance requesting or prompting the user to set up a resource account) for activating an account that is authorized to obtain the first one or more items. Displaying the acceptance affordance when the device is not associated with an activated, authorized account provides the user with feedback regarding the state of the device and enables the user to easily activate an authorized 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 achieve an intended result by providing feedback indicative of an input that will cause the device to generate the intended result 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.
While displaying (1806) at least a portion of the message conversation (e.g., 1608, 1708), the electronic device (e.g., 1600, 1700) detects (1826), via the one or more input devices, an input that corresponds to a request to obtain the first one or more items. In some examples, the electronic device detects activation of an accept affordance for playing/viewing the specially encrypted message or accepting the payment. In some examples, the first one or more items are items of a first type (e.g., encrypted messages or payments).
In response (1830) to detecting the input that corresponds to the request to obtain the first one or more items, in accordance with (1832) a determination that the electronic device (e.g., 1600, 1700) is associated with an activated account (of the user) that is authorized to obtain the first one or more items (e.g., in accordance with a determination that the user has already set up a message decryption account or a peer-to-peer payment account), the electronic device proceeds (1834) to obtain the first one or more items.
In response (1830) to detecting the input that corresponds to the request to obtain the first one or more items, in accordance with (1836) a determination that the electronic device (e.g., 1600, 1700) is not associated with an activated account that is authorized to obtain the first content, the electronic device displays (1838), on the display (e.g., 1602, 1702), a second affordance (e.g., 1630, 1744, 1750, an activation affordance requesting or prompting the user to set up a resource account) for activating an account that is authorized to obtain the first one or more items. In some examples, the second affordance (e.g., 1630, 1744, 1750) is displayed as part of a user interface (e.g., 1626, 1740, 1746) that covers at least a portion of the message user interface (e.g., 1706, 1708, the message transcript). In some examples, the electronic device already has one or more activated accounts; however, the accounts are not authorized to obtain the first content. For example, the accounts are not the right type of accounts or are not enabled to obtain the first content. Automatically displaying an affordance for activating an account when the device determines that an appropriate account is not already activated provides the user with contextual feedback regarding the status of the device and reduces the need for the user to navigate the user interface of the device to activate 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 achieve an intended result by providing feedback indicative of an input that will cause the device to generate the intended result 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 examples, in accordance with (1840) a determination that the first content sent from the participant (e.g., 1610, 1710) corresponds to a gift (e.g., an encrypted message, a payment intended to be a surprise to the recipient), the electronic device (e.g., 1600, 1700) displays (1842) a graphical indication (e.g., 1622, 1724, an indication that the message is encrypted, a graphical indication of a wrapped gift box, a graphical indication of a closed envelope) that the first one or more items sent from the participant corresponds to a gift. In some examples, the message object (e.g., 1620, 1718) is displayed at least partially as a graphical representation of a wrapped gift box (e.g., 1724). In some examples, the message object (e.g., 1724) is displayed at least partially as a graphical representation of a closed envelope. In some examples, the graphical indication (e.g., 1620, 1724, an indication that the message is encrypted, a graphical indication of a wrapped gift box, a graphical indication of a closed envelope) applied to the graphical representation of the communication is selected based on a special input on a corresponding pending graphical representation of the communication on an external device (e.g., the device where the communication originated from). For example, the special input is a deep press input having a contact intensity greater than a predetermined threshold intensity (e.g., a deep press intensity threshold). In some examples, in response to detecting a deep press the corresponding pending graphical representation of the communication on the device (before it is transmitted from the external device to the electronic device), the external device displays a list of one or more graphical indications (a wrapped gift box, a closed envelope) that can be selected and applied to the communication.
In some examples, in accordance with (1840) a determination that the first content sent from the participant corresponds to a gift (e.g., an encrypted message, a payment intended to be a surprise to the recipient), the electronic device (e.g., 1600, 1700) conceals (1844) (e.g., forgoes) display of an indication of the amount (e.g., 1726) of the first one or more items. Displaying a graphical indication (e.g., 1724) that the item corresponds to a gift without displaying an indication of the amount (e.g., 1726) of the gift provides the user with feedback regarding the state of the content (e.g., that it is a gift) and, optionally, enables the user to reject the gift without seeing the amount. 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 achieve an intended result by providing feedback indicative of an input that will cause the device to generate the intended result 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 examples, the electronic device (e.g., 1600, 1700) detects (1846) user selection of the message object (e.g., 1620, 1718). In response to detecting the user selection of the message object (e.g., 1718), the electronic device (e.g., 1600, 1700) (optionally decrypting the message and) displays (1848), on the display, the indication of the amount (e.g., 1726) of the first one or more items. Displaying the indication of the amount (e.g., 1726) of the gift provides the user with feedback regarding the state of the content (e.g., the quantity of the gift). 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 achieve an intended result by providing feedback indicative of an input that will cause the device to generate the intended result 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 examples, the electronic device (e.g., 1600, 1700) receives (1850) a second input on the message object (e.g., 1620, 1718, a text message, a chat bubble, an open email) in the message conversation (between a user of the electronic device and a remote user). In response to receiving the second input on the message object (e.g., 1620, 1718), the electronic device displays (1852), on the display (e.g., 1602, 1702), a detail user interface including information (e.g., encryption/decryption information, the amount of content, the amount of payment, information related to the participant, a time and date, a note/comment relating to the obtaining of the first content) associated with the message object.
In some examples, the first one or more items are items of a first type (e.g., encrypted messages or payments). In some examples, in accordance with a determination that obtaining the first one or more items moves a total number of prior transfers of items of the first type (e.g., obtaining/receiving of encrypted messages or payments, transmission/sending out of encrypted messages or payments) associated with the activated account over a predetermined limit, the electronic device (e.g., 1600, 1700) displays (1854), on the display (e.g., 1602, 1702), a verification user interface (e.g., as described below with reference to
In some examples, the electronic device (e.g., 1600, 1700) includes an application that is configured to manage (e.g., handle) the first one or more items. In some examples, the application is configured to decrypt encrypted messages. In some examples, the application is configured to encrypt messages. In some examples, the application is configured to manage a payment account to receive/send payments. In some examples, although the application is available on the device that can handle the first content, an activated account is also required to obtain the first content.
In some examples, prior to displaying, on the display (e.g., 1602, 1702), the message object (e.g., 1620, 1718) in the message conversation (e.g., 1608, 1708) (e.g., prior to the user viewing the decrypted message, prior to the user viewing the payment), and in accordance with a determination that the first one or more items sent from the participant (e.g., 1610, 1710) corresponds to a gift (e.g., an encrypted message, a payment intended to be a surprise to the recipient), the electronic device displays, on the display (e.g., 1602, 1702), a notification (e.g., 1732) (e.g., a pop-up notification, a notification banner) of the first content received from the participant that does not include display of an indication of the amount of the first one or more items. In some examples, prior to displaying, on the display, the message object (e.g., 1718) in the message conversation (e.g., 1608, 1708) (e.g., prior to the user viewing the decrypted message, prior to the user viewing the payment), in accordance with a determination that the first one or more items sent from the participant does not correspond to a gift, the electronic device displays, on the display (e.g., 1602, 1702), a notification of the first one or more items received from the participant that includes display of the indication of the amount of the first one or more items. In some examples, the notification (e.g., 1732) is displayed on a home screen of the device. In some examples, the notification (e.g., 1732) is displayed on a lock screen (e.g., 1730) of the device. In some examples, the notification (e.g., 1732) is displayed over a user interface of an application running on the device. Displaying a notification (e.g., 1732) without displaying an indication of the amount when the notification relates to a gift provides the user with feedback regarding the state of the content (e.g., that it is a gift) and, optionally, enables the user to reject the gift without seeing the amount. 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 achieve an intended result by providing feedback indicative of an input that will cause the device to generate the intended result 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 examples, the message object (e.g., 1620, 1718) includes an accept affordance (e.g., 1624, 1728, an accept affordance for playing the specially encrypted message or accepting the payment), and the input that corresponds to the request to obtain the first one or more items comprises an input on the accept affordance.
In some examples, the first one or more items are items of a first type (e.g., encrypted messages or payments), and the total amount (e.g., number or aggregate quantity) of prior transfers of items of the first type associated with the activated account includes only prior transfers of items of the first type associated with an obtaining (or receiving) of items of the first type (e.g., receiving a payment, a funding of the activated account by the user of the account) (e.g., by an account associated with a user of the electronic device), and does not include prior transfers of items of the first type associated with a transmission (or sending out) of items of the first type (e.g., from an account associated with a user of the electronic device to another user such as a user of an external device).

In some embodiments, while electronic device 1900 remains in the user interface locked state, the device receives, via the wireless transmission device, a signal from an external device. In some embodiments, the external device is a near field communication (NFC) terminal. In some embodiments, the external device is a user device (e.g., a smartphone, a smartwatch) different from electronic device 1900. In some embodiments, the signal from the external device corresponds to a request for identification credentials (associated with the user of the device) for providing identification information from electronic device 1900 to the external device.

As described below, method 2100 provides an intuitive way for managing peer-to-peer transactions. The method reduces the cognitive burden on a user for managing peer-to-peer transactions, thereby creating a more efficient human-machine interface. For battery-operated computing devices, enabling a user to manage peer-to-peer transactions faster and more efficiently conserves power and increases the time between battery charges.
The electronic device (e.g., 1900, 2000) receives (2102) (e.g., via the wireless transmission device) a request (e.g., a user input on the electronic device, a signal from an external device) to provide restricted credentials (e.g., identification credentials, or payment credentials) associated with a user of the device via the wireless transmission device to an external device (e.g., 2020, a point-of-sale (POS) terminal, a smartphone or smartwatch different from the electronic device). In some examples, the request is to transmit the credentials via the wireless transmission device. In some examples, providing the restricted credentials to the external device includes transmitting, via the wireless transmission device, the credentials to the external device (e.g., 2020).
In some examples, the electronic device (e.g., 1900, 2000) includes a secure element (e.g., 115) and the restricted credentials (e.g., for the first account and the second account) are stored (2104) in the secure element of the electronic device. In some examples, the restricted credentials are (or include) payment information. In some examples, the secure element provides (or releases) payment information (e.g., an account number and/or a transaction-specific dynamic security code). In some examples, 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.
In some examples, the received request to provide restricted credentials associated with the user of the device via the wireless transmission device to the external device (e.g., 2020) is an input (e.g., a tap input 2303, a voice input, an input on a button (e.g., 1904, 2304, 2356) of the device) from the user of the device. In some examples, the input from the user is a double press of a button (e.g., 1904, 2304, a home button) of the device. In some examples, the input from the user is a double press of a power button of the device.
In some examples, the external device (e.g., 2020) is a contactless terminal (e.g., a transaction terminal, a POS terminal 2020, a NFC payment terminal). In some examples, the received request to provide restricted credentials associated with the user of the device via the wireless transmission device to the external device (e.g., 2020) is a signal from the contactless terminal (e.g., 2020). In some examples, the electronic device (e.g., 1900, 2000) is placed within range of the contactless terminal (e.g., a contactless payment terminal, 2020) and receives (e.g., via NFC) a request for payment.
In response (2110) to receiving the request to provide the restricted credentials, the electronic device (e.g., 1900, 2000) concurrently displays, on the display a representation of a first account (2112) (e.g., 2024) associated with first restricted credentials (e.g., a default user identification account, a default resource account, a default points account, a debit card account, a credit card account) at a first location (e.g., a prominently-visible portion of the display, such as a region at or near the center of the display) of the display, wherein the first account is selected for use in providing the restricted credentials, and at least a portion (e.g., a top portion, a top portion without a bottom portion, a first portion with a second portion) of a representation of a second account (2114) (e.g., 1918, 2030) associated with second restricted credentials (e.g., an alternative identifier) at a second location (e.g., a corner or edge of the display, such as the bottom edge of the display) of the display. The display of at least the portion of the representation of the second account includes display of a usage metric (e.g., 1922, 2032, usage limit, available resources) for the second account (e.g., an amount of time that the alternate identifier is available for use, a number of uses that the alternative identifier is available for use, a quantity of currency available for use in the payment account) stored in the account or associated with the account). In some examples, the representation of the second resource account (e.g., 1918, 2030) is only partially displayed on the bottom of the display such that the indication of the available resources (e.g., 1922, 2032) is visible in a top-right corner or a top-left corner of the displayed account representation. Concurrently displaying representations of multiple accounts at different locations with a usage metric (e.g., 1922, 2032) on the display provides the user with (location-based) visual feedback about the state of the accounts, such as whether they are selected for use or 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 achieve an intended result by providing feedback indicative of an input that will cause the device to generate the intended result 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 examples, in accordance with a determination that the signal from the contactless terminal (e.g., 2020) is detected for at least a second predetermined amount of time (and alternatively, or in addition, in accordance with a determination that the device has not been removed from within range of the contactless terminal for the second predetermined period of time), the electronic device (e.g., 1900, 2000) proceeds (2116) (e.g., automatically) with providing the restricted credentials using the first account.
In some examples, in accordance with a determination that the signal from the contactless terminal (e.g., 2020) is detected for less than the second predetermined amount of time (and alternatively, or in addition, in accordance with a determination that the device has been removed from within range of the contactless terminal before at least the second predetermined period of time), the electronic device (e.g., 1900, 2000) forgoes proceeding (2118) with providing (e.g., to the contactless terminal, via wireless communication) the restricted credentials using the first account. Thus, the electronic device provides the user an opportunity to switch from the using the first account to using the second account for providing the restricted credentials, such as in a payment transaction with the contactless terminal (e.g., 2020). Forgoing automatically proceeding with the first account when the device is placed into range (e.g., within RF range) of the contactless terminal for less than the second predetermined period of time enables the user view the status of the account as the device is placed into range of the contactless terminal and provides the user with the control and time to withdraw the device from range of the contactless terminal to change the selected account, thereby helping to avoid use of undesired or unintended accounts. Providing additional control enhances the operability of the device and makes the user-device interface more efficient (e.g., by helping the user to achieve an intended result by providing feedback indicative of an input that will cause the device to generate the intended result 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.
The electronic device (e.g., 1900, 2000) detects, via the one or more input devices, user selection (e.g., a touch gesture, such as a tap 2001, on a portion of the displayed second resource account by a user, a voice selection through a digital assistant) of the representation of the second account (e.g., 1918, 2030). In response (2122) to detecting the user selection of the representation of the second account (e.g., 1918, 2030), the electronic device optionally proceeds to one or more of blocks 2124-2130.
In some examples, the electronic device (e.g., 1900, 2000) replaces (2124) display of the at least a portion of the representation of the second account (e.g., 1918, 2030) with display of at least a portion of the representation of the first account (e.g., 1912, 2024), and the electronic device selects (2126) the second account for use in providing the restricted credentials while maintaining selection of the first account for concurrent use in providing the restricted credentials (e.g., both the first account and the second account are partially used in providing the restricted credentials, both the first account and the second account are partially used in a payment transaction). In some examples, when the second account is selected for use in providing the restricted credentials, the second account will, in some circumstances, not have sufficient funds for the payment and, accordingly, provides payment using both the first account and the second account. In some examples, as described below with reference to the first resource account and the second resource account in method 2400 of
In response (2122) to detecting the user selection of the representation of the second account (e.g., 1918, 2030), the electronic device (e.g., 1900, 2000) replaces (2128) display of the representation of the first account (e.g., 1912, 2024) with the representation of the second account (e.g., 1918, 2030) at the first location of the display. Changing the locations on the display of the various accounts provides the user with (location-based) visual feedback about the updated states of the accounts, such as whether they are selected for use or available for use, and provides the user with visual feedback that the input they provided has changed the account selected 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 achieve an intended result by providing feedback indicative of an input that will cause the device to generate the intended result 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 response (2122) to detecting the user selection of the representation of the second account (e.g., 1918, 2030), the electronic device (e.g., 1900, 2000) selects the second account for use in providing the restricted credentials (e.g., preparing to use the alternative identification by making the alternative identification credentials available via the wireless transmission device, or by preparing to use the payment account by making the payment account available via the wireless transmission device). In some examples, the electronic device also deselects the first account for use in providing the restricted credentials when the electronic device selects the second account for the use. In some examples, the electronic device also does not deselect the first account for use in providing the restricted credentials when the electronic device selects the second account for the use.
In some examples, subsequent to selecting the second account for use in providing the restricted credentials, the electronic device (e.g., 1900, 2000) proceeds (2132) with providing (e.g., by transmitting, using wireless transmission device) the restricted credentials using the second account. In some examples, the electronic device updates (2134) display of the usage metric (e.g., 1922, 2032, usage limit, available resources) for the second account to reflect the change in the usage metric caused by providing the restricted credentials using the second account (e.g., the amount of time that the alternate identifier is available for use is decreased, the number of uses that the alternative identifier is available for use is decreased, the quantity of currency available for use in the payment account stored in the account or associated with the account is decreased). Updating the displayed usage metric (e.g., 192, 2032) to reflect the usage of the restricted credentials provides the user with real-time (or near-real time) visual feedback about the state of the second account resulting from use of the second account, such as the amount of resources remaining in the accounts). 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 achieve an intended result by providing feedback indicative of an input that will cause the device to generate the intended result 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 examples, the restricted credentials (e.g., for the first account and the second account) are uniquely associated (e.g., via a user-specific identifier) with a user of the electronic device.
In some examples, the electronic device (e.g., 1900, 2000) forgoes transmitting (e.g., rejects requests, such as user requests, to transmit) the restricted credentials to an external device (e.g., 2020) unless user authentication (e.g., biometric authentication, such as fingerprint, facial recognition, iris, or retina authentication) has been successfully provided by a user of the electronic device. In some examples, user authentication is successfully received when the electronic device receives biometric information and determines that the biometric information corresponds to biometric information enabled to authorize transmitting the restricted credentials.
In some examples, the at least a portion of the representation of the second account (e.g., 2030) is displayed after a predetermined amount of time (e.g., 2 seconds) has passed from displaying the representation of the first account (e.g., 1912, 2024). Thus, in some examples, initially the representation of the first account (e.g., 1912, 2024) is displayed without the representation of the second account (e.g., 1918, 2030) being displayed. The representation of the second account (e.g., 1918, 2030) is displayed after the predetermined amount of time has passed since displaying the representation of the first account (e.g., 1912, 2024). In some examples, after the predetermined period of time has passed, representations (or portions thereof) of both the first account (e.g., 1912, 2024) and the second account (e.g., 1918, 2030) are displayed on the display at the same time. Displaying the selected account first, followed by displaying the unselected account after a short time delay provides the user with (time-based) visual feedback about the states of the accounts, such as whether they are selected for use or 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 achieve an intended result by providing feedback indicative of an input that will cause the device to generate the intended result 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 examples, replacing display of the representation of the first account (e.g., 2024) with the representation of the second account (e.g., 1918, 2030) at the first location of the display includes: displaying the entirety of the representation of the second account (e.g., 1912, 2024) at the first location (e.g., a prominently-visible portion of the display, such as a region at or near the center of the display) of the display (e.g., because the second account, instead of the first account, is set as the selected account), and displaying at least a portion (e.g., less than all of the representation of the first account (e.g., 1912, 2024), a first portion but not a second portion) of the representation of the first account (e.g., 1912, 2024) at the second location (e.g., a corner or edge of the display, such as the bottom edge of the display) of the display. In some examples, a user of the device can change the default account to be the second account instead of the first account. Displaying the entire representation of the second account (the selected account) and a portion of the first account (e.g., less than the entire representation of the unselected account) provides the user with (size-based) visual feedback about the states of the accounts, such as whether they are selected for use or 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 achieve an intended result by providing feedback indicative of an input that will cause the device to generate the intended result 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 examples, the entirety of a representation of an account is larger in size (when displayed, on the display) than a portion of the representation of an account that is not the entirety of the representation of the account.
In some examples, the electronic device (e.g., 1900, 2000) concurrently displays, on the display, at least a portion (e.g., a top portion) of a representation of a third account (e.g., one of 1916, one of 2026, the third account is enabled to provide corresponding restricted credentials from the secure element) at a location adjacent to the second location of the display (e.g., adjacent to the representation of the second account (e.g., 2030 of
In some examples, the usage metric (e.g., 1922, 2032, usage limit, available resources) for the second account is displayed after a third predetermined amount of time (e.g., 1 second) has passed from displaying the at least a portion of the representation of the second account. Thus, in some examples, the displayed usage metric (e.g., 1922, 2032) is displayed after a delay from when the representation of the second account (e.g., 1918, 2030) is first displayed. In some examples, the at least a portion of the representation of the second account (e.g., 2030) is displayed without displaying the usage metric (e.g., 1922, 2032). After the third predetermined period of time has passed, the usage metric (e.g., 1922, 2032) is displayed such that the representation of the second account (e.g., 1918, 2030) is displayed concurrently with the usage metric (e.g., 2032).
In some examples, the usage metric (e.g., 1922, 2032, usage limit, available resources) for the second account ceases to be displayed after a fourth predetermined amount of time (e.g., 3 seconds) has passed from first displaying the usage metric (e.g., 1922, 2032). Thus, in some examples, the displayed usage metric auto-hides from the display if a user does not select the second account after a certain amount of time.
In some examples, selected accounts are displayed at the first location (e.g., a location towards a center of the display, indicating that the account is selected) and non-selected accounts are displayed at the second location (e.g., at a location towards an edge of the display, indicating that the account is not selected) (e.g., a region of representations of non-selected accounts or non-selected payment cards arranged as a stack). Thus, in some examples, if a representation of an account is displayed at the first location of the display, the user of the device is made aware that the account is currently selected for use in providing the restricted credentials or for use in a payment transaction, whereas if a representation of an account is displayed at the second location of the display, the user is made aware that the account is currently not selected for use in providing the restricted credentials or for use in a payment transaction. Displaying representations of accounts at different locations on the display provides the user with (location-based) visual feedback about the state of the corresponding accounts, such as whether they are selected for use or 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 achieve an intended result by providing feedback indicative of an input that will cause the device to generate the intended result 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 examples, a plurality of representations of non-selected accounts are displayed in a stack configuration (e.g., a three-dimensional stack, graphical representations 1916, 2026 of other accounts shown in, for example,
In some examples, in response to detecting the user selection of the representation of the second account, the electronic device (e.g., 1900, 2000) replaces display of the at least a portion of the representation of the second account (e.g., 2030) with display of at least a portion of the representation of the first account (e.g., 1912, 2024). Changing the location on the display of the various accounts provides the user with (location-based) visual feedback about the updated states of the accounts, such as whether they are selected for use or available for use, and provides the user with visual feedback that the provided input has changed the account selected 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 achieve an intended result by providing feedback indicative of an input that will cause the device to generate the intended result 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 examples, the representation of the second account (e.g., 1918, 2030) includes a distinguishing visual characteristic (e.g., a graphical animation, a graphical pattern, a dynamic animation, a dynamic pattern) and representations of other accounts (e.g., 1912, 1916, 2024, 2026) that are not the second account, including the representation of the first account (e.g., 2024), do not include the distinguishing visual characteristic. In some examples, the representation of the second account (e.g., 1918, 2030) includes a visual effect that changes commensurate with changes in the orientation of the device (e.g., as described above with reference to in

Thus, in some embodiments, in accordance with a determination that the current balance (e.g., “20”) is insufficient to cover the full amount of the current transaction, electronic device 2300 displays, within payment confirmation user interface 2362, an (graphical and/or textual) indication 2374 (e.g., stating “Insufficient Balance”) that the account (e.g., the payment account) that is currently-selected for the transaction has insufficient funds to cover the amount of the current transaction. Further, in some embodiments, the device displays within indication 2366 a warning indication 2365 (e.g., stating “Insufficient Balance”) and an accounts selection button 2368 for selecting one or more additional accounts to be used together with the currently-selected account (e.g., the payment account) in the transaction.

In response to the successful transaction using both the payment account (corresponding to indication 2366) and the debit card account (corresponding to indication 2380), electronic device 2300 updates display of the balance of the payment account to (from $20) to $0. Because the payment account did not have sufficient funds to alone cover the amount of the payment (of $28), all available funds (of $20) from the payment account was used for the transaction, and the remaining balance (of $8) was paid from the debit card account.

As described below, method 2400 provides an intuitive way for managing peer-to-peer transactions. The method reduces the cognitive burden on a user for managing peer-to-peer transactions, thereby creating a more efficient human-machine interface. For battery-operated computing devices, enabling a user to manage peer-to-peer transactions faster and more efficiently conserves power and increases the time between battery charges.
In some examples, prior to receiving the request (e.g., a user input on the electronic device, a signal from an external device) to participate in the transfer of resources (e.g., a transfer of computing resources, a transfer of points, a transfer of credits, a transfer of funds, a transfer of virtual resources) for the requested resource amount using the first resource account, the electronic device (e.g., 2200, 2300) receives (2402) an initiation input (e.g., a user input on the electronic device, a signal from an external device, such as a POS terminal).
In some examples, in response to receiving the initiation input (and, optionally, in accordance with the determination that the requested resource amount is greater than the amount of resources available via the first resource account (e.g., in accordance with a determination that the first resource account does not have sufficient resources to cover the requested resource amount of the resource transfer), and/or in accordance with the determination that the requested resource amount is equal to or less than the amount of resources available via the first resource account), the electronic device (e.g., 2200, 2300) concurrently displays (2404), on the display (e.g., 2202, 2302), a representation (e.g., a graphical representation, a textual representation) of the first resource account (e.g., an account stored in a secure element of the device) and a representation (e.g., a graphical representation, a textual representation) of the second resource account (e.g., a backup resource account, a debit account, a checking account).
In some examples, the electronic device (e.g., 2200, 2300) receives (2406) user input (e.g., 2303, a touch input, a voice input) for proceeding with the transfer of resources.
In some examples, in response to receiving the user input for proceeding with the transfer of resources, the electronic device (e.g., 2200, 2300) displays (2408), on the display (e.g., 2202, 2302), an authentication user interface (e.g., 2226, 2362) requesting authentication information for proceeding with the transfer of resources. Displaying a request for authentication provides the user with visual feedback about the state of the device (state in which authentication is required) and prompts the user to provide the authentication (e.g., through biometric authentication, such as via a fingerprint authentication or facial recognition). 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 achieve an intended result by providing feedback indicative of an input that will cause the device to generate the intended result 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 examples, the representation of the first resource account (e.g., 2330) includes an indication of the amount of funds (e.g., 2332) available via the first resource account. In some examples, the representation of the first resource account (e.g., 2330) and representation of the second resource account (e.g., 2324) are displayed in a list. In some examples, the representation of the first resource account (e.g., 2330) is displayed prior to displaying the representation of the second resource account (e.g., 2324). In some examples, the representation of the first resource account (e.g., 2330) is displayed higher up in the list than the representation of the second resource account (e.g., 2324). In some examples, the representation of the second resource account (e.g., 2324) is displayed before the representation of the first resource account (e.g., 2330) in the list. In some examples, the list is a three-dimensional stack. In some examples, the representations of resource accounts partially overlap each other.
The electronic device (e.g., 2200, 2300) receives (2410) a request (e.g., 2303, a user input on the electronic device, a signal from an external device) to participate in a transfer of resources (e.g., a transfer of computing resources, a transfer of points, a transfer of credits, a transfer of funds, a transfer of virtual resources) for a requested resource amount using a first resource account.
In some examples, the resource is (2412) an amount of funds (e.g., dollars, euros) and the second resource account is a stored-value account (e.g., a debit card account, a checking account) containing stored funds (e.g., stored-value account that is available for use in sending/receiving payments via a messaging app as described in greater detail above with reference to methods 900, 1200, 1500, and 1800.
In some examples, receiving (2410) the request to participate in the transfer of resources includes receiving (2414) authentication information (e.g., biometric information, such as fingerprint information, facial recognition information, voice recognition information, iris/retina scan information, or authentication information that corresponds to a passcode or pattern). In some examples, the device (e.g., 2200, 2300) determines whether the authentication information is consistent with registered authentication information. In some examples, transferring resources includes transmitting credentials. In some examples, in accordance with a determination that the authentication information is consistent with the registered authentication information, a secure element of the electronic device provides (or releases) credentials (e.g., payment information). In some examples, in accordance with a determination that the authentication information is not consistent with the registered authentication information, the secure element forgoes providing (or releasing) credentials (e.g., payment information).
In response (2416) to (or subsequent to) receiving the request to participate in the transfer of resources for the requested resource amount using the first resource account, the electronic device (e.g., 2200, 2300) optionally performs blocks 2418 and 2428.
In accordance with (2418) a determination that the requested resource amount is equal to or less than an amount of resources available via the first resource account (e.g., in accordance with a determination that the first resource account has sufficient resources to cover the requested resource amount of the resource transfer), the electronic device (e.g., 2200, 2300) optionally performs one or more of blocks 2420-2426.
In some examples, the electronic device (e.g., 2200, 2300) displays (2420), on the display (e.g., 2202, 2302), an indication of the amount of resources available via the first resource account (e.g., 2228, 2332), and the electronic device forgoes (2422) displaying a selectable representation (e.g., a graphical representation, a textual representation) of the second resource account. Displaying an indication of available resources from the first resource account (e.g., 2332) without displaying the representation of the second resource account when sufficient resources are available on the first resource account provides the user with visual feedback confirming that the first resource account has sufficient resources (e.g., funds) to fulfill the request and that the second resource account will not be used. 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 achieve an intended result by providing feedback indicative of an input that will cause the device to generate the intended result 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.
The electronic device (e.g., 2200, 2300) automatically (e.g., without additional user input) proceeds (2424) with the transfer of resources using only the first resource account (e.g., using the first resource account and without using the second resource account). In some examples, the first resource account is associated with an amount of transferrable resources. Automatically proceeding with the transfer of resources using the appropriate account(s) based the requested resource amount being (or not being) greater than the amount of resources available on a particular account enables the correct account of resources to be transferred without requiring further user input. Performing an operation without requiring further user inputs enhances the operability of the device and makes 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 examples, subsequent to (or, optionally, in response to) automatically proceeding with the transfer of resource using only the first resource account (and not the second resource account), the electronic device (e.g., 2200, 2300) displays (2426), on the display (e.g., 2202, 2302), a first representation (e.g., 2330, a graphical representation, a textual representation) associated with the first resource account and forgoes displaying a second representation (e.g., 2324) associated with the second resource account.
In accordance with (2428) a determination that the requested resource amount is greater than the amount of resources available via the first resource account (e.g., in accordance with a determination that the first resource account does not have sufficient resources to cover the requested resource amount of the resource transfer), the electronic device (e.g., 2200, 2300) optionally performs one or more of blocks 2430-2434.
In some examples, the electronic device (e.g., 2200, 2300) displays (2430) (e.g., concurrently), on the display (e.g., 2202, 2302), the indication of the amount of resources available via the first resource account (e.g., 2228, 2332) and the selectable representation (e.g., 2324, a graphical representation, a textual representation) of the second resource account (e.g., a backup resource account, a different type of resource account from the first resource account). Displaying an indication of available resources from the first resource account and displaying the representation of the second resource account when sufficient resources are not available on the first resource account provides the user with visual feedback that the first resource account has insufficient resources (e.g., funds) to fulfill the request and that the second resource account will be used. 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 achieve an intended result by providing feedback indicative of an input that will cause the device to generate the intended result 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.
The electronic device (e.g., 2200, 2300) automatically (e.g., without user input, without user input after receiving the request to participate in a transfer of resources) proceeds (2432) with the transfer of resources using the first resource account and a second resource account (e.g., a backup resource account) different from the first resource account. In some examples, the second resource account is associated with an amount of transferrable resources. Automatically proceeding with the transfer of resources using the appropriate account(s) based the requested resource amount being (or not being) greater than the amount of resources available on a particular account enables the correct account of resources to be transferred without requiring further user input. Performing an operation without requiring further user inputs enhances the operability of the device and makes 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 examples, subsequent to (or, optionally, in response to) proceeding (2432) with the transfer of resources using the first resource account and the second resource, (e.g., in accordance with a determination that the first resource account does not have sufficient resources to cover the requested resource amount of the resource transfer), the electronic device (e.g., 2200, 2300) displays (2434) (e.g., concurrently), on the display (e.g., 2202, 2302), a first representation (e.g., a graphical representation, a textual representation) associated with the first resource account (e.g., 2228, 2330) and a second representation associated with the second resource account (e.g., 2236, 2324). In some examples, the device further concurrently displays an amount of the resource transferred using the first resource account and an amount of the resource transferred using the second resource account.
In some examples, prior to proceeding with the transfer of resources (e.g., using only the first resource account or using both the first resource account and the second resource account) (and, optionally, prior to receiving the request to participate in a transfer of resources), the electronic device (e.g., 2200, 2300) displays, on the display (e.g., 2202, 2302), an authentication user interface (e.g., 2226, 2362) requesting authentication information (e.g., biometric information, such as a fingerprint, facial features, iris/retina features, or input information such as a passcode or pattern). Displaying a request for authentication provides the user with visual feedback about the state of the device (state in which authentication is required) and prompts the user to provide the authentication (e.g., through biometric authentication, such as via a fingerprint authentication or facial recognition). 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 achieve an intended result by providing feedback indicative of an input that will cause the device to generate the intended result 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 examples, the electronic device receives, via the one or more input devices, the authentication information, wherein automatically proceeding with the transfer of resources (e.g., using the first resource account or both the first and second resource accounts) is in accordance with a determination that the received authentication information corresponds to enrolled authentication information (stored on the device) for authorizing transfers. In some examples, in accordance with a determination that the received authentication information does not correspond to the enrolled authentication information for authorizing transfers, the electronic device forgoes proceeding with the transfer of resources (and, optionally, indicating that authorization is required).
In some examples, the resource is an amount of funds (e.g., dollars, euros) and (e.g., a credit card account). In some examples, in response to receiving the request to participate in the transfer of resources for the requested resource amount using the first resource account, and in accordance with a determination that the second resource account is associated with a transaction fee, the electronic device (e.g., 2200, 2300) displays, on the display (e.g., 2202, 2302), an indication that a transaction fee (e.g., a transaction fee for using a credit card account, a percentage (e.g., 2%) of the amount of funds to be transmitted in the transfer) will be added to the transfer. In some examples, in response to receiving the request to participate in the transfer of resources for the requested resource amount using the first resource account, and in accordance with a determination that the second resource account is not associated with a transaction fee, the electronic device forgoes displaying, on the display, the indication that a transaction fee (e.g., a transaction fee for using a credit card account, a percentage (e.g., 2%) of the amount of funds to be transmitted in the transfer) will be added to the transfer.
In some examples, in accordance with proceeding with the transfer of resources using the second account (e.g., not using the first account, using both the first account and the second account), the electronic device (e.g., 2200, 2300) applies a first charge (e.g., a charge made to the second resource account, which is a credit account) in a first amount to the second resource account, wherein the first amount includes the transaction fee. In some examples, the transfer of funds only uses the second resource account and the total amount charged to the second resource account is the sum of the amount of funds transmitted and the transaction fee. In some examples, the transfer of funds uses the second resource account and one or more accounts (e.g., the first account), and the total amount charged to the second resource account is the sum of the amount of funds transmitted using the second resource account and the transaction fee. In some examples, the transaction fee is based on (e.g., a percent of) the amount transmitted using the second resource amount. In some examples, the transaction fee is a flat fee. In some examples, the transaction fee is a combined percentage and flat fee.
In some examples, receiving the request to participate in the transfer of resources includes receiving a sequence of one or more inputs from the user to transmit the resources to another participant (e.g., 2210, 2310) in a message conversation (e.g., 2208, 2308).
In some examples, receiving the request to participate in the transfer of resources includes receiving information from an external source with information about a transaction and receiving a sequence of one or more inputs from the user to transmit resources selected based on the information from the external source.
In some examples, receiving the request to participate in the transfer of resources includes receiving a sequence of one or more inputs from the user that authorizes transmission of restricted credentials to a nearby device via a short range wireless communication.
In some examples, proceeding with the transfer of resources using the first resource account and the second resource account is in accordance with a determination that a split account option (e.g., a user setting for enabling/disabling automatic transfer of resources using two or more different resource accounts) is enabled on the device. In some examples, the default state is that the split account option is enabled on the device. In some examples, in accordance with a determination that a split account option is not enabled on the device, the electronic device (e.g., 2200, 2300) displays, on the display (e.g., 2202, 2302), a notification (e.g., a pop-up notification, a prompt) that the requested resource amount is greater than the amount of resources available via the first resource account (e.g., that the first resource account does not have sufficient resources to cover the requested resource amount of the resource transfer). In some examples, when the split account option is not enabled on the device, the electronic device forgoes proceeding with the transfer of resources using the first resource account and the second resource account, and, optionally, proceeds with the transfer of resource using the second resource account (and not using the first resource account).
In some examples, prior to receiving the request to participate in the transfer of resources, the electronic device (e.g., 2200, 2300) receives one or more inputs selecting a different (e.g., third) resource account for use in the transfer. When the device receives the request to participate in the transfer, the device uses the selected (e.g., the different, third) resource account for use in the transfer rather than the first resource account. In some examples, the electronic device displays, on the display (e.g., 2202, 2302), a selectable representation (e.g., a graphical representation, a textual representation) of the second (or third) resource account (e.g., a backup resource account, a different type of resource account from the first resource account). In some examples, the electronic device receives user selection of the selectable representation of the second (or third) resource account. In response to receiving the user selection of the selectable representation of the second resource account, the electronic device selects the second (or third) resource account for use in the transfer (e.g., without using the first resource account in the transfer).
In some examples, prior to receiving the request to participate in the transfer of resources for the requested resource amount using the first resource account, the electronic device (e.g., 2200, 2300) displays, on the display (e.g., 2202, 2302), message conversation (e.g., 2208, 2308) of a messaging application (e.g., 2206, 2306) between a plurality of participants (e.g., the user of the device and a contact of the user, 2210, 2310). In some examples, the initiation input corresponds to user selection of a resource message object (e.g., a message bubble having an indication of the requested resource amount, an email message having an indication of the requested resource amount) received from a first participant of the message conversation. In some examples, the request to participate in the transfer of resources is received while displaying, on the display (e.g., 2202, 2302), the message conversation (e.g., 2208, 2308) of the messaging application (e.g., 2206, 2306) between a plurality of participants, and wherein the initiation input corresponds to user selection (e.g., tap input on a touch-screen display) of a resource message object (e.g., a message bubble having an indication of the requested resource amount, an email message having an indication of the requested resource amount). In response to detecting the initiation input (e.g., in response to detecting the user selection (e.g., activation) of the resource message object or in response to selection of a payment send affordance in a payment creation interface), the electronic device concurrently displays, on the display (e.g., 2202, 2302), a representation (e.g., 2366, a graphical representation, a textual representation) of the first resource account (e.g., an account stored in a secure element of the device) and a representation (e.g., 2380, a graphical representation, a textual representation) of the second resource account (e.g., a backup resource account, a debit account, a checking account). In some examples, the electronic device displays, on the display (e.g., 2202, 2302), a transfer user interface (e.g., a resource-numerical value selection user interface for receiving user adjustment of the amount of resources, such as points, resources, or funds), wherein the transfer user interface includes an indication (e.g., a list that includes a representation of the first resource account and a representation of the second resource account) that resources from the first resource account and the second resource account will be used for the transfer. In some examples, the representation of the first resource account is a graphical representation of the account, such as a thumbnail image of a card associated with the account. In some examples, the representation of the first resource account is a textual representation of the account, such as an identification number (e.g., identification number, card number) associated with the account. In some examples, the representation of the second resource account is a graphical representation of the account, such as a thumbnail image of a card associated with the account. In some examples, the representation of the second resource account is a textual representation of the account, such as an identification number (e.g., identification number, card number) associated with the account. In some examples, the message conversation is concurrently displayed with the representations of the resource accounts.
In some examples, concurrently displaying, on the display (e.g., 2202, 2302), the representation (e.g., 2330, 2366, a graphical representation, a textual representation) of the first resource account (e.g., an account stored in a secure element of the device) and the representation (e.g., 2324, 2380, a graphical representation, a textual representation) of the second resource account includes displaying a transaction detail region that also includes additional information about the transaction (e.g., a total price, shipping information, tax, etc.) and instructions for providing authorization information (e.g., a passcode or a biometric authorization such as a fingerprint or face) to authorize participation in the transaction.

In some embodiments, account information user interface 2659 includes an add funds selectable indication 2659A (e.g., showing “Add Money”) for adding funds to the currently-viewed account (e.g., the payment account). In some embodiments, account information user interface 2659 also includes a transfer selectable indication 2659B (e.g., showing “Transfer to Bank”) for transferring funds from the payment account to a different account (e.g., a bank account). In some embodiments, account information user interface 2659 also includes, within automatic payment acceptance list 2659C, an “everyone” option 2659D which, when selected, causes electronic device 2600 to automatically accept (e.g., without any user input from the user) an incoming payment (or, in some embodiments, to also automatically accept and agree to an incoming payment request) from any message participant. In some embodiments, account information user interface 2659 also includes, within automatic payment acceptance list 2659C, a “contacts only” option 2659K which, when selected, causes the device to automatically accept (e.g., without any user input from the user) an incoming payment (or, in some embodiments, to also automatically accept and agree to an incoming payment request) from a message participant that corresponds to a contact within a contacts list (e.g., the main contacts list, a favorites contacts list, a trusted contacts list) associated with the user account logged into the device. In some embodiments, account information user interface 2659 also includes, within automatic payment acceptance list 2659C, a manual option 2659E which, when selected, causes electronic device 2600 to automatically accept (e.g., without any user input from the user) an incoming payment (or, in some embodiments, to also automatically accept and agree to an incoming payment request) from a message participant (e.g., message participant 2610) that is a member of a manually created (by the user) list, such as a trusted message participant list. In some embodiments, account information user interface 2659 also includes, within automatic payment acceptance list 2659C, an off option which, when selected, causes electronic device 2600 to not automatically accept (e.g., unless the user provides user input accepting) an incoming payment (or, in some embodiments, to also automatically accept and agree to an incoming payment request) from any message participant.

As described below, method 2700 provides an intuitive way for managing peer-to-peer transactions. The method reduces the cognitive burden on a user for managing peer-to-peer transactions, thereby creating a more efficient human-machine interface. For battery-operated computing devices, enabling a user to manage peer-to-peer transactions faster and more efficiently conserves power and increases the time between battery charges.
The electronic device (e.g., 2500, 2600) receives (2702) one or more messages (e.g., one or more text messages, one or more emails) in a first conversation (e.g., 2608) of electronic messages (e.g., a text conversation thread, an email thread) that includes messages from a user of the electronic device to a first participant (e.g., 2510, 2610) and messages from the first participant (e.g., a first friend) to the user of the electronic device. The one or more messages in the first conversation (e.g., 2508, 2608) include (2704) a first message (e.g., from the first participant or the user) that is associated with the transfer of a first additional item (e.g., a photo, video, file, or payment).
In some examples, the first additional item is (2706) a first transfer between the user of the electronic device and the first participant (e.g., 2510, 2610). In some examples, the first transfer is a first media transfer. In some examples, the first transfer is a first payment transfer.
In some examples, the first transfer is (2708) a transfer from the user of the electronic device to the first participant (e.g., 2510, 2610). In some examples, the first transfer from the user of the device to the first participant is a media transfer from the user of the device to the first participant. In some examples, the first transfer from the user of the device to the first participant is a payment from the user of the device to the first participant.
In some examples, the first transfer is (2710) a transfer request by the user of the electronic device to the first participant (e.g., 2510, 2610).
The electronic device (e.g., 2500, 2600) receives (2712) one or more messages (e.g., one or more text messages, one or more emails) in a second conversation (e.g., 2509, 2630) of electronic messages (e.g., a text conversation thread, an email thread) that includes messages from the user of the electronic device to a second participant (e.g., 2530, 2621) and messages from the second participant (e.g., a second friend different from the first friend) to the user of the electronic device. The one or more messages in the second conversation include (2714) a second message (e.g., from the second participant or the user) that is associated with the transfer of a second additional item (e.g., a photo, video, file, or payment).
In some examples, the second additional item is (2716) a second transfer between the user of the electronic device and the second participant (e.g., 2530, 2621). In some examples, the second transfer is a second media transfer. In some examples, the second transfer is a second payment transfer.
In some examples, the second transfer is (2718) a transfer from the user of the electronic device to the second participant (e.g., one of 2510, 2530, 2610, 2621, 2631 that does not correspond to the first participant). In some examples, the second transfer from the user of the device to the second participant is a media transfer from the user of the device to the second participant. In some examples, the second transfer from the user of the device to the second participant is a payment from the user of the device to the second participant.
In some examples, the second transfer is (2720) a transfer request by the user of the electronic device to the second participant.
The electronic device (e.g., 2500, 2600) concurrently displays (2722), on the display (e.g., 2502, 2602), a first item (e.g., 2552, 2670) (2724) associate with the first participant and a second item (e.g., 2556, 2674) (2736) associated with the second participant. Concurrently displaying multiple items (e.g., the first item and the second item) that include information from messages of different conversations provides the user with visual feedback that the items are related to transfers while allowing the user to concurrently view the information from the different conversations. 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 achieve an intended result by providing feedback indicative of an input that will cause the device to generate the intended result 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 examples, the first item (e.g., 2552, 2670) includes an indication (e.g., 2670A, a photo, a name) of the associated contact (participant) and other information (e.g., transaction information, such as an amount of the transaction, a time of the transaction, a location of the transaction) related to a conversation with the associated contact. The first item includes (2726) first information (e.g., 2622) from the first message in the first conversation of electronic messages and a representation of the first additional item (e.g., 2552B, 2670B).
In some examples, the representation of the first additional item (e.g., 2552B, 2670B) includes (2728) a numerical representation (e.g., a size (bytes), an edit date, an amount of funds) of the first additional item. In some examples, the first additional item is a video file, and thus the representation of the first additional item includes a size (bytes) and/or edit date of the video file. In some examples, the second additional item is a photo, and thus the representation of the second additional item includes a size (bytes) and/or edit date of the photo.
In some examples, the representation of the first additional (e.g., 2552B, 2670B) item includes (2730) an indication (e.g., 3.1 MB, $20.17) of an amount of the first transfer. In some examples, the amount is an amount of resource. In some examples, the amount is an amount of storage used or size (e.g., in bytes). In some examples, the amount is an amount of funds/currency.
In some examples, the first item (alternatively, or in addition, the second item) (e.g., the first item and/or the second item) includes (2734) an indication (e.g., 2552A, 2670A) of the first participant (alternatively, the second participant) (e.g., the first participant or the second participant) associated with the first item and an indication of a time (e.g., the time the message associated with the item was sent/received) associated with the first item. Displaying indications of participants and time provides the user with visual feedback about what other people were involved in the transfer and when the transfer took place. Such information is particularly helpful when transfers using the same account are grouped together, providing the user with a summary of transfers for a particular account and the corresponding details of the transfers. 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 achieve an intended result by providing feedback indicative of an input that will cause the device to generate the intended result 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.
The second item includes (2738) second information from the second message in the second conversation (e.g., 2509, 2630) of electronic messages and a representation of the second additional item (e.g., 2556B, 2674B). Concurrently displaying multiple items (e.g., the first item and the second item) that include information from messages of different conversations provides the user with visual feedback that the items are related to transfers while allowing the user to concurrently view the information from the different conversations. 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 achieve an intended result by providing feedback indicative of an input that will cause the device to generate the intended result 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 examples, the representation of the second additional item (e.g., 2556B, 2674B) includes (2740) an indication (e.g., 3.1 MB, $5.16) of an amount of the second transfer. In some examples, the amount is an amount of resource. In some examples, the amount is an amount of storage used or size (e.g., in bytes). In some examples, the amount is an amount of funds/currency.
In some examples, the first additional item is a video file and the second additional item is a photo.
In some examples, the electronic device (e.g., 2500, 2600) detects an input (e.g., on a touch-sensitive surface of the electronic device) at a location corresponding to the first item (e.g., 2552, 2670). In response to detecting the input at the location corresponding to the first item (e.g., 2552, 2670), and in accordance with a determination that the location corresponds to the representation of the first additional item, the electronic device displays an item-specific user interface (e.g., an item detail page including details associated with the first message). In response to detecting the input at the location corresponding to the first item, and in accordance with a determination that the location does not correspond to the representation of the first additional item, the electronic device displays a first participant-specific user interface (e.g., 2686, a contact detail page including several different items associated with the participant).
In some examples, the first item (e.g., 2552, 2670) (alternatively, or in addition, the second item) corresponds to a pending (e.g., not yet completed) payment transaction and the representation of the first additional item (e.g., 2552B, 2670B) (alternatively, the representation of the second additional item) includes an indication of an amount (of funds) of the pending payment transaction. The electronic device (e.g., 2500, 2600) receives user input on the representation of the first additional item (e.g., 2552B, 2670B) of the first item (alternatively, the second item). In response to receiving the user input, the electronic device displays, on the display (e.g., 2502, 2602), an authentication user interface requesting authentication information (e.g., biometric authentication information, such as a fingerprint for fingerprint authentication, facial features for facial recognition, voice input for voice recognition, iris/retina scan for iris/retina identification) for authorizing the transaction. Displaying a request for authentication provides the user with visual feedback about the state of the device (state in which authentication is required) and prompts the user to provide the authentication (e.g., through biometric authentication, such as via a fingerprint authentication or facial recognition). 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 achieve an intended result by providing feedback indicative of an input that will cause the device to generate the intended result 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 examples, the first item (e.g., 2552, 2670) (alternatively, or in addition, the second item) corresponds to a payment sent to the user by the first participant (alternatively, the second participant) (e.g., the first participant or the second participant) associated with the first item. In some examples, the first item includes an affordance (e.g., 2624) for transferring an amount of the payment to an external account (e.g., a linked bank account of the user) associated with the user. In some examples, upon receiving user selection of the affordance, funds equivalent to the amount of the payment received from the participant is transferred to a default account of the user, such as a default stored-value account (e.g., a debit account).
In some examples, the first participant-specific user interface (e.g., 2686) includes contact information (e.g., a phone number, an email address, a webpage URL) associated with the first participant and a list of one or more first participant-specific items (e.g., 2696, 2698, 2695, 2693, previous items associated with the participant, wherein the previous items each include information form an associated message in a conversation of electronic messages), including the first item, associated with the first participant. Displaying information about the participant provides the user with additional context and visual feedback about the transfer and enables the user to easily contact the participant (e.g., by activating a phone number affordance in the participant-specific user interface) to discuss the transfer. 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 achieve an intended result by providing feedback indicative of an input that will cause the device to generate the intended result 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 examples, the first item-specific user interface includes (2746) a representation of content (2748) (e.g., a preview or mini-representation of the first additional item, such as a preview of a photo, video, or file or an indication of a payment amount) associated with the first item, an indication of the first participant (2750), and an indication of a time (2752) (e.g., the time the first message was sent/received) associated with the first message. Displaying information about an item provides the user with additional context relating to the item and provides the user with visual feedback about the item. 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 achieve an intended result by providing feedback indicative of an input that will cause the device to generate the intended result 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 examples, the representation of the first additional item includes a status indicator (e.g., “pending,” “completed”) associated with the first transfer and an affordance for viewing additional details (e.g., date and time of the transaction, participants in the transaction, location of the transaction) associated with the first transfer. In some examples, the electronic device (e.g., 2500, 2600) detects user activation of the affordance for viewing additional details associated with the first transfer. In response to detecting the user activation of the affordance, the electronic device displays, on the display (e.g., 2502, 2602), a detail user interface. The detail user interface includes (e.g., concurrently displayed): the first information from the first message in the first conversation of the electronic messages, an authorization affordance for authorizing the first transfer, and a cancel affordance for cancelling (e.g., refusing) the first transfer.
In some examples, the electronic device (e.g., 2500, 2600) detects user activation of the authorization affordance. In response to detecting the user activation of the authorization affordance, the electronic device displays an authentication user interface for requesting authentication information (e.g., biometric authentication, such as a fingerprint, facial recognition, iris scan, retina scan authentication). The electronic device receives the authentication information. In accordance with a determination that the received authentication information is consistent with (e.g., matches, corresponds to) enrolled authentication information (stored on the device) for authorizing transactions, the electronic device authorizes the first transfer and updates display of the first message (e.g., changing a color, changing a shade, changing a pattern, changing a status indicator) in the first conversation of electronic messages to indicate that the first transfer has been authorized. In accordance with a determination that the received authentication information is not consistent with the enrolled authentication information for authorizing transactions, the electronic device forgoes authorizing the first transfer and, optionally, does not update display of the first message (e.g., changing a color, changing a shade, changing a pattern, changing a status indicator) in the first conversation of electronic messages to indicate that the first transfer has been authorized.
In some examples, the electronic device (e.g., 2500, 2600) detects user activation of the cancel affordance. In response to detecting the user activation of the cancel affordance, the electronic device displays, on the display (e.g., 2502, 2602), the first conversation of electronic messages. The first conversation (e.g., 2508, 2608) includes an indication (e.g., a new message indicating) that the first transfer has been canceled. In some examples, the electronic device further updates display of the first message (e.g., 2520, 2618, changing a color, changing a shade, changing a pattern, changing a status indicator) to indicate that the first payment transfer has been canceled. In some examples, the electronic device updates display of the first message (e.g., 2520, 2618) to indicate that the first payment transfer has been canceled. Updating the display of a message to reflect a change in status (e.g., from pending to canceled) provides the user with visual feedback about the state of the message and that a request made by the user (e.g., to cancel a payment transfer) has been received (and implemented) by the device. Providing improved visual feedback to the user enhances the operability of the device and makes 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 examples, the first item corresponds to a pending (e.g., not yet completed) payment transaction and the second item corresponds to a completed payment transaction.
In some examples, the first item-specific user interface includes an annotation of text in the first message in the first conversation of electronic messages.
In some examples, the first item-specific user interface includes an annotation of text from one or more messages that are adjacent to the first message (including or not including the first message) (e.g., a previous message received immediately before the first message, a subsequent message received immediately after the first message) in the first conversation of electronic messages. Displaying text from adjacent messages in the conversations provides the user with visual feedback regarding the context of the item, such as why the item was sent to the user or what event the item corresponds to. 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 achieve an intended result by providing feedback indicative of an input that will cause the device to generate the intended result 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 examples, the first item (e.g., 2552, 2670) and the second item (e.g., 2556, 2674) correspond to transactions made using a first payment account (e.g., a default account, a debit account, a stored-value account). Prior to concurrently displaying, on the display, the first item (e.g., 2552, 2670) and the second item (e.g., 2556, 2674), the electronic device (e.g., 2500, 2600) displays, on the display (e.g., 2502, 2602), a representation (e.g., 2669, a graphical representation, such as a thumbnail image of the payment account or a preview image of the payment account) of the first payment account. The electronic device receives user selection of the representation of the first payment account (e.g., 2669). In response to receiving the user selection of the representation of the first payment account, the electronic device concurrently displays, on the display, a list of items (e.g., 2670, 2674, 2678, 2680, 2684) associated with the first payment account. The list of items (e.g., 2670, 2674, 2678, 2680, 2684) includes the first item (e.g., 2552, 2670) and the second item (e.g., 2556, 2674). Concurrently displaying a list of items (e.g., corresponding to messages of different conversations) provides the user with visual feedback about transfers that used the first payment 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 achieve an intended result by providing feedback indicative of an input that will cause the device to generate the intended result 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 examples, in accordance with a determination that the first item (alternatively, the second item) is associated with a transfer of an amount of funds from the user to the first participant (alternatively, the second participant) associated with the first item, the electronic device forgoes adding a directional indicator (e.g., a “+” symbol or a “−” symbol) to a numerical representation of the amount of funds included in the first item. In some examples, in accordance with a determination that the first item (e.g., 2670) (alternatively, the second item) is associated with a transfer of the amount of funds to the user from the first participant (alternatively, the second participant) associated with the first item, the electronic device adds the directional indicator (e.g., a “+” symbol) to the numerical representation of the amount of funds included in the first item. Visually differentiating between transfers from and to the user by including or not including a particular indicator provides the user with visual feedback about the direction of flow of resources (e.g., funds) between the user and others. 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 achieve an intended result by providing feedback indicative of an input that will cause the device to generate the intended result 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 examples, the first item (e.g., 2552, 2670) includes a graphical indication (e.g., a photo of the participant, a picture of the participant) of the first participant associated with the first item. In some examples, if the first participant is not an individual but a commercial entity (e.g., a company), the graphical indication is a logo associated with the commercial entity. In some examples, the second item includes a graphical indication (e.g., a photo of the participant, a picture of the participant) of the second participant associated with the second item.
In some examples, the representation of the first additional item (alternatively, the representation of the second additional item) includes a thumbnail image of the first additional item. In some examples, the first additional item is a video file, and thus the representation of the first additional item includes a thumbnail image (e.g., a preview image) of the video file. In some examples, the second additional item is a photo, and thus the representation of the second additional item includes a thumbnail image (e.g., a smaller image) of the photo.
In some examples, transactions between participants may be commercial transactions between the user of the electronic device and a merchant. In some examples, the user of the electronic device makes a payment to a merchant or requests a payment from the merchant. In some examples, the merchant makes a payment (e.g., refund of previous purchase) to the user of the electronic device or requests payment (e.g., for a good or service) from the user of the electronic device.

The digital assistant of electronic device 2900 is a (voice-controlled) digital assistant that can respond to the user's spoken requests. In order to do so, the digital assistant requires speech recognition capability. In some examples, speech recognition is performed using speech-to-text (STT) processing, such as through an Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR) system. One or more ASR systems can process the speech input to produce a recognition result. Each ASR system includes a front-end speech pre-processor. The front-end speech pre-processor extracts representative features from the speech input. For example, the front-end speech pre-processor performs a Fourier transform on the speech input to extract spectral features that characterize the speech input as a sequence of representative multi-dimensional vectors. Further, each ASR system includes one or more speech recognition models (e.g., acoustic models and/or language models) and implements one or more speech recognition engines. Examples of speech recognition models include Hidden Markov Models, Gaussian-Mixture Models, Deep Neural Network Models, n-gram language models, and other statistical models. Examples of speech recognition engines include the dynamic time warping based engines and weighted finite-state transducers (WFST) based engines. The one or more speech recognition models and the one or more speech recognition engines are used to process the extracted representative features of the front-end speech pre-processor to produce intermediate recognitions results (e.g., phonemes, phonemic strings, and sub-words), and ultimately, text recognition results (e.g., words, word strings, or sequence of tokens). In some examples, the speech input is processed at least partially by a third-party service or on the user's device (e.g., the electronic device) to produce the recognition result. Once the STT processing produces recognition results containing a text string (e.g., words, or sequence of words, or sequence of tokens), the recognition result is passed to a natural language processing module for intent deduction. In some examples, STT processing produces multiple candidate text representations of the speech input. Each candidate text representation is a sequence of words or tokens corresponding to the speech input. In some examples, each candidate text representation is associated with a speech recognition confidence score. Based on the speech recognition confidence scores, STT processing ranks the candidate text representations and provides the n-best (e.g., n highest ranked) candidate text representation(s) to the natural language processing module for intent deduction, where n is a predetermined integer greater than zero. For example, in one example, only the highest ranked (n=1) candidate text representation is passed to the natural language processing module for intent deduction. In another example, the five highest ranked (n=5) candidate text representations are passed to the natural language processing module for intent deduction. More details on the speech-to-text processing are described in U.S. Utility application Ser. No. 13/236,942 for “Consolidating Speech Recognition Results,” filed on Sep. 20, 2011, the entire disclosure of which is incorporated herein by reference.
The natural language processing module (“natural language processor”) of a digital assistant takes the n-best candidate text representation(s) (“word sequence(s)” or “token sequence(s)”) generated by STT processing, and attempts to associate each of the candidate text representations with one or more “actionable intents” recognized by the digital assistant. An “actionable intent” (or “user intent”) represents a task that can be performed by the digital assistant. The associated task flow is a series of programmed actions and steps that the digital assistant takes in order to perform the task. The scope of a digital assistant's capabilities is dependent on the number and variety of task flows that have been implemented and stored in various task flow models, or in other words, on the number and variety of “actionable intents” that the digital assistant recognizes. The effectiveness of the digital assistant, however, also dependents on the assistant's ability to infer the correct “actionable intent(s)” from the user request expressed in natural language. Other details of inferring a user intent based on candidate actionable intents determined from multiple candidate text representations of a speech input are described in U.S. Utility application Ser. No. 14/298,725 for “System and Method for Inferring User Intent From Speech Inputs,” filed Jun. 6, 2014, the entire disclosure of which is incorporated herein by reference.

In accordance with a determination (e.g., made by the device or made by an external device, such as a server, communicating with the device) that the user's intent, based on spoken user input 2903, is to send a payment to an intended recipient (e.g., to send John a payment in the amount of $28), electronic device 2900 displays within digital assistant user interface 2924 a message object box 2928 that includes a draft payment message object 2932 corresponding to the requested payment determined from spoken user input 2903. As also shown in
In some embodiments, message object box 2928 includes an indication 2930 of the intended recipient (e.g., recipient 2910, “John Appleseed”) of the payment. In some embodiments, message object box 2928 includes a pay button 2940 (for proceeding with the payment as shown by message object box 2928) and a forgo pay button 2938 (for cancelling proceeding with the payment as shown by message object box 2928). In some embodiments, digital assistant user interface also displays a request 2942 from the digital assistant asking whether the user intends to add a comment (e.g., a note, a message) to accompany the payment.

In some embodiments, electronic device 2900 also displays, on display 2902, a virtual keyboard 2912 (e.g., an alphanumeric keyboard for typing a message) and compose bar 2914 for displaying the text of a message as a message is typed using a virtual keyboard 2912. In some embodiments, a mechanical keyboard can be used in addition to or alternatively to virtual keyboard 2912 to type a message. In some embodiments, compose bar 2914 can expand (e.g., expand upwards) to accommodate a longer message or message object (e.g., an image, an emoticon, a special type of message object, such as a payment object). In some embodiments, compose bar 2914 includes a mic button 2914A which, when activated, enables the user to record a message using voice input.
As shown in
As indicated by status indicators 2962 and 2964, the payment corresponding to payment message object 2956 has been accepted by recipient 2910. Thus, in some embodiments, amount indication 2960 of the payment amount (e.g., “$28”) is displayed with a bolder (or thicker) font than if the payment was pending. In some embodiments, amount indication 2960 includes a black outline (e.g., a shadow) applied to the font of the displayed amount (e.g., “$28”). In some embodiments, amount indication 2960 of the payment amount (e.g., “$28”) is shown in a different color (e.g., white as opposed to black) than if the payment was pending. In some embodiments, in response to detecting a change in orientation of the device, electronic device 2900 generates feedback (e.g., a visual feedback, a haptic feedback, audio feedback) associated with the payment message object. In some embodiments, the feedback is a dynamic visual feedback causing display of the payment message object (e.g., payment message object 2956) to change as changes in the orientation of the device relative to a reference point are detected, as described above, for example, with reference to payment message object 1172 in

As described below, method 3000 provides an intuitive way for managing peer-to-peer transactions. The method reduces the cognitive burden on a user for managing peer-to-peer transactions, thereby creating a more efficient human-machine interface. For battery-operated computing devices, enabling a user to manage peer-to-peer transactions faster and more efficiently conserves power and increases the time between battery charges.
The electronic device (e.g., 2800, 2900) receives (3002), via the one or more input devices, an utterance (e.g., 2801, 2903, a word, a phrase, a natural language input) from a user that corresponds to a request to perform an operation (e.g., accessing secure content, sending secure content, sending a payment, accepting a payment, sending a request for payment).
In some examples, the utterance (e.g., 2801, 2903) from the user that corresponds to the request to perform the operation is received (3004) while the electronic device (e.g., 2800, 2900) is in a locked mode of operation (e.g., a mode of operation in which the user is not authenticated to the device and the device is prevented from performing one or more operations that the device can perform when in an unlocked mode of operation).
In some examples, the utterance (e.g., 2801, 2903) from the user that corresponds to the request to perform the operation is received while the device (e.g., 2800, 2900) is in an unlocked mode (e.g., the device performs the operation while the device is unlocked) of operation (e.g., a mode of operation in which the user is authenticated to the device and the device is enabled to perform one or more operations that the device is prevented from performing when in a locked mode of operation).
In some examples, the operation includes (3006) sending a message (e.g., a text message, a chat message, an email) to a message participant (other than a user of the device) in a message conversation of a messaging application (e.g., a text message application, a chat application, an email application). In some examples, the message includes (3008) an attached item (e.g. a file, a photo, a video, a payment). In some examples, the attached item (i.e., attachment) is not marked as requiring authorization.
In response to receiving the utterance, the electronic device (e.g., 2800, 2900) prepares (3010) to perform the operation, wherein in accordance with (3012) a determination that the operation requires authorization, preparing to perform the operation includes (3014) presenting, via the one or more output devices of the device: a representation (e.g., 2932) (3016) of the operation and instructions (3018) for providing authorization to the device, via the one or more input devices of the device, to perform the operation. Presenting, to the user, a representation (e.g., 2932) of the operation and instructions for providing authorization to perform the operation provides the user with feedback about the operation that will be performed (once authorized) and about the state of the device (state in which authentication is required), and prompts the user to provide the authorization (e.g., through biometric authentication, such as via a fingerprint authentication or facial recognition). 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 achieve an intended result by providing feedback indicative of an input that will cause the device to generate the intended result 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 examples, presenting instructions for providing authorization to the device, via the one or more input devices of the device, to perform the operation comprises (3020) displaying, on the display (e.g., 2802, 2902), an authorization user interface (e.g., 2822, 2948, a user interface for receiving authentication information from the user of the device to authorize the operation, such as a payment). In some examples, the authorization user interface (e.g., 2948) includes a request for authentication information (e.g., 2830, 2950, biometric authentication information) from the user of the device to authorize the operation. In some examples, the authorization user interface (e.g., 2822, 2948 includes an indication of a payment method to be used, along with an option to change the payment method (e.g., to select from among a plurality of payment methods, such as credit card accounts, debit card accounts, payment accounts, provisioned onto the electronic device). In some examples, the authorization user interface (e.g., 2822, 2948) includes instructions for providing the authorization (e.g., 2830, 2950). In some examples, the authorization user interface (e.g., 2948) is a system-generated authorization user interface that is used for payments in other contexts (e.g., in-app and web payments). In some examples, the system-generated authorization user interface is a user interface for the second application (e.g., operating system or electronic wallet application), as described in U.S. patent application Ser. No. 14/503,296, filed Sep. 30, 2014, titled “USER INTERFACE FOR PAYMENTS,” the contents of which are incorporated herein by reference.
After preparing to perform the operation, the electronic device receives (3022) a confirmation input (e.g., a tap input on the device, a tap input on a touch-sensitive surface of the device, a verbal confirmation input) associated with (or corresponding to) performing the operation. In response to (3024) receiving the confirmation input, the electronic device performs one or more of blocks 3026, 3032, and 3038.
In accordance with (3026) a determination that the operation requires authorization and the operation has not been authorized, the electronic device (e.g., 2800, 2900) forgoes (3028) performing the operation in response to the confirmation input. In some examples, in accordance with (3026) a determination that the operation requires authorization and the operation has not been authorized, the electronic device forgoes (3030) unlocking the device from the locked mode of operation to an unlocked mode of operation (e.g., a mode of operation in which the user is authenticated to the device and the device is enabled to perform one or more operations that the device is prevented from performing when in a locked mode of operation). Forgoing unlocking the device in accordance with a determination that authorization has not been successfully provided enhances device security and allows the user to store files and information (e.g., documents, photos, accounts) on the device knowing that access to the device is protected by security measures. Increasing the security of the device enhances the operability of the device by preventing unauthorized access to content and operations and, additionally, reduces power usage and improves battery life of the device by enabling the user to use the device more efficiently.
In accordance with (3032) a determination that the operation requires authorization and the operation has been authorized, the electronic device performs (3034) the operation in response to the confirmation input (e.g., sending the message with the secure attachment, or sending the payment). In some examples, in accordance with (3032) a determination that the operation requires authorization and the operation has been authorized, the electronic device (e.g., 2800, 2900) unlocks (3036) the device from the locked mode of operation to the unlocked mode of operation.
In accordance with (3038) a determination that the operation does not require authorization, the electronic device (e.g., 2800, 2900) performs (3040) the operation in response to the confirmation input (e.g., sending the message that does not include the secure attachment or payment). In some examples, in accordance with (3038) a determination that the operation does not require authorization, the electronic device forgoes unlocking the device from the locked mode of operation to the unlocked mode of operation.
Thus, in some examples, when the electronic device is locked and the electronic device (e.g., 2800, 2900) receives valid authentication to authorize an operation, the device also transitions to an unlocked mode of operation. Accordingly, a single authentication (e.g., a single biometric authentication, a single fingerprint authentication, a single facial recognition authentication) is used to both authorize the operation and to unlock the device. In some examples, when the electronic device is locked and the electronic device receives invalid authentication to authorize an operation, the device does not transition to the unlocked mode of operation.
In some examples, the attached item is marked as requiring authorization (e.g., to authorize opening of a protected file, to authorize a payment associated with the attachment).
In some examples, the attached item is a payment object that represents a payment to the message participant (e.g., a payment object that authorizes payment to the message participant by a bank or other financial institution or a digital representation of a payment made to the message participant).
In some examples, the attached item is a request for payment (e.g., a request for a certain amount of funds) by the user of the device from the message participant.
In some examples, performing the operation in response to the confirmation input includes displaying, on the display (e.g., 2802, 2902), an indication (e.g., 2830, 2952, a confirmation notification, a textual confirmation (e.g., “Your message will be sent,” “I'll send your message”), an audio confirmation, a feedback indicating confirmation) that the message (with the attachment) will be sent to the message participant in the message conversation of the messaging application. Displaying an indication that the message will be send to the participant provides the user with visual feedback about the state of the device, such as whether the operation has been (or will be) performed. 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 achieve an intended result by providing feedback indicative of an input that will cause the device to generate the intended result 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 examples, prior to performing the operation in response to the confirmation input, the electronic device (e.g., 2800, 2900) outputs a prompt (e.g., a visual indication such as a text bar or a prompt, and/or an audio indication) to include a user-specified message along with the attached item (e.g., in the message or in a subsequent or prior message in the message conversation). In some examples, subsequent to outputting the prompt to include the user-specified message along with the attached item, the electronic device receives, via one or more input devices (e.g., a microphone, a displayed keyboard), additional input (e.g., an utterance, a typed input). The electronic device sends text corresponding to the additional input to the participant in the message conversation along with the attachment.
In some examples, in accordance with a determination, based on the utterance from the user, that a graphical animation (e.g., a dynamic visual effect, such as a moving pattern, moving elements, and/or changing colors) is to be associated with the message, the electronic device (e.g., 2800, 2900) requests, via the one or more output devices (e.g., a visual request via the display, an audio request via speakers), user selection of a graphical animation. In some examples, the electronic device provides a plurality of different graphical animations that can be applied for the user to choose from. In some examples, the electronic device receives, via the one or more input devices, the user selection of a first graphical animation (e.g., animation comprising falling cash, an animation comprising fireworks, an animation comprising an unwrapping gift box, an animation comprising an opening envelope). In some examples, the electronic device associates the first graphical animation with the message prior to sending the message to the message participant. In some examples, if the message is an instant message (e.g., a text message), when the message participant receives the message in a text messaging application on the message participant's external device, the message is displayed in the message conversation of the text messaging application with the first graphical animation being applied.
In some examples, prior to presenting the instructions for providing authorization to the device, via the one or more output devices of the device, to perform the operation, the electronic device (e.g., 2800, 2900) displays, on the display (e.g., 2802, 2902), an indication of a send option (e.g., 2940, for sending an attachment, for sending a payment) and an indication of a request option (e.g., 2984, for requesting an attachment, for requesting a payment).
In some examples, prior to presenting the instructions for providing authorization to the device, via the one or more output devices of the device, to perform the operation, the electronic device (e.g., 2800, 2900) displays, on the display (e.g., 2802, 2902) a send option (e.g., 2818, 2940, for sending an attachment, for sending a payment) and a request option (e.g., 2984, for requesting an attachment, for requesting a payment). For example, the send option (e.g., 2818, 2940) and the request option (e.g., 2984) are displayed in accordance with the electronic device determining that the utterance (e.g., a word, a phrase, a natural language input) corresponds to the operation (e.g., with high confidence, confidence above a threshold) but with a confidence below a confidence threshold as to whether the utterance corresponds to a send operation or a request operation. The electronic device receives user input selecting the send option (e.g., 2818, 2940) or the request option (e.g., 2984). In accordance with the received user input corresponding to activation of the send option, the electronic device presents the instructions for providing authorization to the device. In some examples, in accordance with the received user input corresponding to activation of the request option (e.g., 2984), the electronic device forgoes presenting the instructions for providing authorization to the device and, optionally, transmits the request (e.g., request for payment). Thus, in some examples, the device requires authorization for sending payments and does not require authorization for requesting payments. In some examples, the send option and the request option are not displayed in accordance with the electronic device determining that the utterance (e.g., a word, a phrase, a natural language input) corresponds to the operation (e.g., with high confidence, confidence above a threshold) and with a confidence above the confidence threshold as to whether the utterance corresponds to a send operation or a request operation.
In some examples, the electronic device (e.g., 2800, 2900) receives a user input selection. In accordance with a determination that the user input selection corresponds to activation of the send option, the electronic device designates the attachment as a payment corresponding to a transfer of an amount of funds from the user to the message participant. In some examples, the technique subsequently proceeds to preparing to perform the operation, as described above. In accordance with a determination that the user input selection corresponds to activation of the request option, the electronic device designates the attachment as a payment request corresponding to a request for transfer of an amount of funds to the user from the message participant. In some examples, the technique subsequently proceeds to preparing to perform the operation, as described above.
In some examples, the electronic device (e.g., 2800, 2900) receives user selection (e.g., via a touch input of the option, via verbal instructions to select the option) of the send option (e.g., 2940). In response to receiving the user selection of the send option (e.g., 2818, 2940), the electronic device designates the attachment as a payment corresponding to a transfer of an amount of funds from the user to the message participant. In some examples, the technique subsequently proceeds to preparing to perform the operation, as described above.
In some examples, the electronic device (e.g., 2800, 2900) receives user selection (e.g., via a touch input of the option, via verbal instructions to select the option) of the request option (e.g., 2984). In response to receiving the user selection of the request option (e.g., 2984), the electronic device designates the attachment as a payment request corresponding to a request for transfer of an amount of funds to the user from the message participant. In some examples, the technique subsequently proceeds to preparing to perform the operation, as described above.
In some examples, the authentication information includes biometric authentication information (e.g., a fingerprint for fingerprint authentication, a facial feature for facial recognition, a voice input for voice recognition, an iris scan for iris recognition, retina scan for retina recognition).
In some examples, the authorization user interface (e.g., 2822, 2948) includes an indication of a resource account (e.g., a payment account, such as a debit card or a checking account, a points account, a credit account) for use in performing the operation.
In some examples, presenting, via the one or more output devices of the device, the representation of the operation and the instructions for providing the authorization to the device includes concurrently displaying, on the display: the representation of the operation (e.g., 2932), and the instructions for providing the authorization to the device, via the one or more input devices of the device, to perform the operation. Concurrently displaying a representation of the operation and instructions for providing authorization to perform the operation provides the user with visual feedback about the operation that will be performed (once authorized) and about the state of the device (state in which authentication is required), and prompts the user to provide the authorization (e.g., through biometric authentication, such as via a fingerprint authentication or facial recognition). 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 achieve an intended result by providing feedback indicative of an input that will cause the device to generate the intended result 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 examples, presenting, via the one or more output devices of the device, the representation of the operation and the instructions for providing the authorization to the device includes: outputting, via the one or more output devices (e.g., an audio output via a speaker), an audio (e.g., verbal) (or, alternatively or in addition, a visual description) description of the operation; and outputting, via the one or more output devices (e.g., an audio output via a speaker), audio (e.g., verbal) (or, alternatively or in addition, a visual instruction) instructions for providing authorization to the device to enable performing of the operation. Outputting audio description of the operation and audio instructions for providing authorization to perform the operation provides the user with audio feedback about the operation that will be performed (once authorized) and about the state of the device (state in which authentication is required), and prompts the user to provide the authorization (e.g., through biometric authentication, such as via a fingerprint authentication or facial recognition). Providing improved audio 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 achieve an intended result by providing feedback indicative of an input that will cause the device to generate the intended result 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 examples, in response to receiving the utterance, and prior to preparing to perform the operation, the electronic device performs speech recognition on the utterance to determine a text representation of the utterance, wherein the operation is performed based on an analysis of the text representation of the utterance.
In some examples, speech recognition is performed using speech-to-text (STT) processing, such as through an Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR) system. One or more ASR systems can process the speech input to produce a recognition result. Each ASR system includes a front-end speech pre-processor. The front-end speech pre-processor extracts representative features from the speech input. For example, the front-end speech pre-processor performs a Fourier transform on the speech input to extract spectral features that characterize the speech input as a sequence of representative multi-dimensional vectors. Further, each ASR system includes one or more speech recognition models (e.g., acoustic models and/or language models) and implements one or more speech recognition engines. Examples of speech recognition models include Hidden Markov Models, Gaussian-Mixture Models, Deep Neural Network Models, n-gram language models, and other statistical models. Examples of speech recognition engines include the dynamic time warping based engines and weighted finite-state transducers (WFST) based engines. The one or more speech recognition models and the one or more speech recognition engines are used to process the extracted representative features of the front-end speech pre-processor to produce intermediate recognitions results (e.g., phonemes, phonemic strings, and sub-words), and ultimately, text recognition results (e.g., words, word strings, or sequence of tokens). In some examples, the speech input is processed at least partially by a third-party service or on the user's device (e.g., the electronic device) to produce the recognition result. Once the STT processing produces recognition results containing a text string (e.g., words, or sequence of words, or sequence of tokens), the recognition result is passed to a natural language processing module for intent deduction. In some examples, STT processing produces multiple candidate text representations of the speech input. Each candidate text representation is a sequence of words or tokens corresponding to the speech input. In some examples, each candidate text representation is associated with a speech recognition confidence score. Based on the speech recognition confidence scores, STT processing ranks the candidate text representations and provides the n-best (e.g., n highest ranked) candidate text representation(s) to the natural language processing module for intent deduction, where n is a predetermined integer greater than zero. For example, in one example, only the highest ranked (n=1) candidate text representation is passed to the natural language processing module for intent deduction. In another example, the five highest ranked (n=5) candidate text representations are passed to the natural language processing module for intent deduction.
More details on the speech-to-text processing are described in U.S. Utility application Ser. No. 13/236,942 for “Consolidating Speech Recognition Results,” filed on Sep. 20, 2011, the entire disclosure of which is incorporated herein by reference.
In some examples, the analysis of the text representation of the utterance comprises performing natural language processing on the text representation of the utterance to determine an actionable intent (of a user of the device).
In some examples, the natural language processing module (“natural language processor”) of a digital assistant takes the n-best candidate text representation(s) (“word sequence(s)” or “token sequence(s)”) generated by STT processing, and attempts to associate each of the candidate text representations with one or more “actionable intents” recognized by the digital assistant. An “actionable intent” (or “user intent”) represents a task that can be performed by the digital assistant. The associated task flow is a series of programmed actions and steps that the digital assistant takes in order to perform the task. The scope of a digital assistant's capabilities is dependent on the number and variety of task flows that have been implemented and stored in various task flow models, or in other words, on the number and variety of “actionable intents” that the digital assistant recognizes. The effectiveness of the digital assistant, however, also dependents on the assistant's ability to infer the correct “actionable intent(s)” from the user request expressed in natural language.
Other details of inferring a user intent based on candidate actionable intents determined from multiple candidate text representations of a speech input are described in U.S. Utility application Ser. No. 14/298,725 for “System and Method for Inferring User Intent From Speech Inputs,” filed Jun. 6, 2014, the entire disclosure of which is incorporated herein by reference.

In some embodiments, electronic device 3300 also displays, on display 3302, a virtual keyboard 3312 (e.g., an alphanumeric keyboard for typing a message) and a compose bar 3314 displaying the text of a message as a message is typed using virtual keyboard 3312. In some embodiments, a mechanical keyboard can be used in addition to or alternatively to virtual keyboard 3312 to type a message. In some embodiments, compose bar 3314 can expand (e.g., expand upwards) to accommodate a longer or larger message or message object (e.g., an image, an emoticon, a special type of message object, such as a payment object). In some embodiments, compose bar 3314 includes a mic button 3316 which, when activated, enables the user to record a message using voice input.

As also shown in
In some embodiments, one or more visual feedbacks are applied to amount object 3324 of completed payments message object 3334. To more specifically describe the one or more visual feedbacks applied to amount object 3324, attention is drawn to
In some embodiments, at orientation 3301A, a visual feedback (e.g., having a small magnitude) is applied to amount object 3324 of completed payment message object 3334. In some embodiments, the visual feedback is a geometry alteration effect (e.g., a skewing effect, a 3D effect, a simulated depth effect) applied to at least a portion of the amount object (e.g., changing an angle or distance between lines or curves that define a shape of the object). For example,
In some embodiments, when the device is at orientation 3301A (corresponding to the predefined default orientation), electronic device applies (slightly, with a weak magnitude) the simulated depth effect to amount object 3324 of completed payment message object 3334 (e.g., by applying depth line 3325 down the center of the amount object indicating the bottom of the simulated depth of the object). In some embodiments, when the device is (gradually) moved to orientation 3301B, a corresponding dynamic movement of depth line 3325 is displayed (e.g., the depth line of the amount object is moved (slightly) up because the device is slightly tilted upwards relative to the predefined default orientation). In some embodiments, when the device is (gradually) moved to orientation 3301C, a corresponding dynamic movement of depth line 3325 is displayed (e.g., the depth line of the amount object is moved (slightly) down because the device is slightly tiled downwards relative to the predefined default orientation). In some embodiments, at orientations 3301B and 3301C, the device also generates a haptic feedback (e.g., a tactile output), as described in greater detail below with reference to
In some embodiments, at the predefined default orientation of orientation 3301A, there is no change in the visual feedback that is applied to amount object 3324 of completed payment message object 3334 as compared to when the device is at orientation 3301B. Thus, in some embodiments, there is no visual feedback applied to amount object 3324 at any of orientations 3301A-3301C.
In some embodiments, electronic device 3300 includes one or more tactile output generators, and when electronic device is at orientations (e.g., corresponding to angle 3300A or angle 3300B) that is not the predefined default orientation, in addition to (or instead of) visual feedback applied to amount object 3324 of completed payment message object 3334, the device generates a haptic feedback (e.g., a tactile output 3336). For example, in some embodiments, in response to detecting the change in orientation of the device from the predefined default orientation (e.g., of
In some embodiments, at orientations 3303A and 3303B (e.g., where the device has moved (e.g., horizontally) away from the baseline orientation), one or more visual feedback are applied to amount object 3324 of completed payment message object 3334 (e.g., at a stronger magnitude than at orientation 3301A). In some embodiments, the visual feedback is simulated depth effect including depth line 3325 (as described above with respect to
Further, in some embodiments, when electronic device 3300 is moved to orientations 3303C and 3303D, a corresponding dynamic movement of the simulated depth effect is displayed. For example, at orientation 3303C, depth line 3325 of the amount object has moved (gradually, while the device changed orientations) up relative to depth line 3325 at orientation 3303A, for the orientation of the device has shifted to a higher angle relative to orientation 3303A. Similarly, at orientation 3303D, depth line 3325 of the amount object has moved (gradually, while the device changed orientations) up relative to the depth line at orientation 3303B, for the orientation of the device has shifted to a higher angle relative to orientation 3303B. Further, in some embodiments, when the device is moved to orientations 3303E and 3303F, a corresponding dynamic movement of depth line 3325 is displayed. For example, at orientation 3303E, depth line 3325 of the amount object has moved (gradually, while the device changed orientations) down relative to the depth line at orientation 3303A, for the orientation of the device has shifted to a lower angle relative to orientation 3303A. Similarly, at orientation 3303F, depth line 3325 of the amount object has moved (gradually, while the device changed orientations) down relative to the depth line at orientation 3303B, for the orientation of the device has shifted to a lower angle relative to orientation 3303B. In some embodiments, depth line 3325 remains stationary and the outline of the content shifts in location, thereby simulating the depth effect (using dynamic boundary instead of a dynamic depth line).
In some embodiments, in addition to (or instead of) simulated depth effect including depth line 3325, an additional visual feedback is applied to amount object 3324. In some embodiments, as shown in
In some embodiments, as shown in
At orientations 3305A and 3305B, the displayed simulated depth effect including depth line 3325 is emphasized as compared to the depth effect displayed at orientations 3303A and 3303B, respectively. For example, at orientation of 3305A, depth line 3325 of the amount object has (gradually) moved farther left as compared to the depth line at orientation 3303A, for the orientation of the device has shifted to an even more slanted (left) side angle relative to orientation 3303A. At orientation 3305B, depth line 3325 of the amount object has (gradually) moved farther right as compared to the depth line at orientation 3303B, for the orientation of the device has shifted to an even more slanted (right) side angle relative to orientaiton 3303B. In some embodiments, depth line 3325 remains stationary and the outline of the content shifts in location, thereby simulating the depth effect (using dynamic boundary instead of a dynamic depth line).
In addition, in some embodiments, when the device is moved to orientations 3305C and 3305D, a corresponding dynamic movement of simulated depth effect 3325 is displayed. For example, at orientation 3305C, depth line 3325 of the amount object has moved (gradually) up relative to the depth line at orientation 3305A, for the orientation of the device has shifted to a higher angle relative to orientation 3305A. Similarly, at orientation 3305D, depth line 3325 of the amount object has moved (gradually) up relative to the depth line at orientation 3305B, for the orientation of the device has shifted to a higher angle relative to orientation 3305B. Further, in some embodiments, when the device is moved to orientations 3305E and 3305F, a corresponding dynamic movement of simulated depth effect 3325 is displayed. For example, at orientation 3305E, depth line 3325 of the amount object has moved (gradually, while the device changed orientations) down relative to the depth line at orientation 3305A, for the orientation of the device has shifted to a lower angle relative to orientation 3305A. Similarly, at orientation 3305F, depth line 3325 of the amount object has moved (gradually, while the device changed orientations) down relative to the depth line at orientation 3305B, for the orientation of the device has shifted to a lower angle relative to orientation 3305B.
Further, in some embodiments, as shown in
Furthermore, in some embodiments, when the device is moved to orientations 3305C and 3305D from orientations 3305A and 3305B, respectively, a corresponding dynamic movement of colored patterns 3327 is displayed. For example, at orientation 3305C, each of the colored patterns on the amount object has moved (gradually, while the device changed orientations) up relative to their positions at orientation 3305A as the device (gradually) tilts from orientation 3305A to orientation 3305C. Similarly, at orientation 3305D, each of the colored patterns on the amount object has moved (gradually, while the device changed orientations) up relative to their positions at orientation 3305B as the device (gradually) tilts from orientation 3305B to orientation 3305D. Furthermore, in some embodiments, when the device is moved to orientations 3305E and 3305F from orientations 3305A and 3305B, respectively, a corresponding dynamic movement of colored patterns 3327 is displayed. For example, at orientation 3305E, each of the colored patterns on the amount object has moved (gradually, while the device changed orientations) down relative to their positions at orientation 3305A as the device (gradually) tilts from orientation 3305A to orientation 3305E. Similarly, at orientation 3305F, each of the colored patterns on the amount object has moved (gradually, while the device changed orientations) down relative to their positions at orientation 3305B as the device (gradually) tilts from orientation 3305B to orientation 3305F.
In addition, in some embodiments, electronic device 3300 continues to generate tactile output 3336 as the device changes in orientation (e.g., from orientations 3303A-3303F to orientations 3305A-3305F, respectively). In some embodiments, the device gradually ceases to generate tactile output 3336 when the orientation of the device relative to the baseline orientation stops changing.
In some embodiments, as electronic device 3300 changes orientation in a direction that is towards the baseline orientation (instead of in a direction that is moving away from the baseline orientation), a magnitude of the one or more applied or generated feedbacks (e.g., simulated depth effect including depth line 3325, coloring effect represented by colored patterns 3327, tactile output 3336) are reduced. For example, the feedback is gradually reduced for the duration that the orientation of the device is changing (e.g., moving towards the baseline orientation). For another example, the rate of change of the feedback is gradually reduced as the orientation of the device changes (e.g., the greater the amount of change in the orientation, the greater the change in the feedback). In some embodiments, reducing the magnitude of simulated depth effect includes reducing the simulated depth of the geometry of the amount object (or of the text object) (e.g., reducing an angle from a bottom of an engraved pattern to the surface into which the engraved pattern is engraved, or reducing an angle from the top of a raised object to surface on which the raised pattern is placed). In some embodiments, reducing the magnitude of the coloring effect includes reducing a saturation of colors 3327A-3327C of colored patterns 3327.
In some embodiments, a visual feedback is a coloring effect of a plurality of colored patterns 3345 is applied one or more pattern objects 3344 (or portions thereof), where colored patterns 3345 consists of one or more different colors (e.g., the colors of a rainbow). In some embodiments, as shown in
In some embodiments, electronic device 3300 includes one or more tactile output generators, and when electronic device is at orientations (e.g., corresponding to angle 3300A or angle 3300B) that are not the predefined default orientation, in addition to (or instead of) the visual feedback applied graphical representation 3338, the device generates a haptic feedback (e.g., a tactile output 3336). For example, in some embodiments, in response to detecting the change in orientation of the device from the predefined default orientation (e.g., of
In some embodiments, as electronic device 3300 changes orientation in a direction that is towards the baseline orientation (instead of in a direction that is moving away from the baseline orientation), a magnitude of the one or more applied or generated feedbacks (e.g., coloring effect represented by colored patterns 3345, tactile output 3336) are reduced. For example, the feedback is gradually reduced for the duration that the orientation of the device is changing (e.g., moving towards the baseline orientation). For another example, the rate of change of the feedback is gradually reduced as the orientation of the device changes (e.g., the greater the amount of change in the orientation, the greater the change in the feedback). In some embodiments, reducing the magnitude of the coloring effect includes reducing a saturation of the colors (e.g., the rainbow colors) of the colored patterns 3345).
As described below, method 3400 provides an intuitive way for managing peer-to-peer transactions. The method reduces the cognitive burden on a user for managing peer-to-peer transactions, thereby creating a more efficient human-machine interface. For battery-operated computing devices, enabling a user to manage peer-to-peer transactions faster and more efficiently conserves power and increases the time between battery charges.
The electronic device (e.g., 3300), while the device is at a first orientation (e.g., a predefined default orientation, a resting state orientation, a 45 degree tilt from surface of the ground) relative to a baseline orientation with respect to a reference point (e.g., 3332, the ground, a face of a viewer), displays (3402), on the display (e.g., 3302), a user interface object (e.g., 3324, 3354, 3344, a numerical number, a shape, a pattern, a part of the item that is visually distinguishable from the background of the item). In some embodiments, the object (e.g., 3324, 3354) is (part of, an element of, displayed within) a message object within a message conversation of a messaging application. In some embodiments, the object (e.g., 3344) is (part of, an element of, displayed within) a graphical representation of an account (e.g., a user account, a resource account, a payment account) stored/provisioned on the device (e.g., as described above in greater detail with respect to methods 900, 1200, 1500, 1800, 2100, 2400, 2700, and 3000).
The electronic device (e.g., 3300), while displaying the user interface object (e.g., 3324, 3354, 3344), detects (3404), via the one or more sensor devices (e.g., an accelerometer, a camera), a change in orientation (e.g., from 3300A to 3300C, from 3300C to 3300A, from 3300A to 3300E, from 3300E to 3300A, from 3300B to 3300D, from 3300D to 3300B, from 3300B to 3300F, from 3300F to 3300B) of the device from the first orientation (e.g., 3300A, 3300B, 3300C, 3300D, 3300E, 3300F) relative to the reference point (e.g., 3332) to a respective orientation (e.g., 3300A, 3300B, 3300C, 3300D, 3300E, 3300F) relative to the reference point.
In some embodiments, detecting the change in orientation of the device (e.g., 3300) from the first orientation relative to the reference point (e.g., 3332) to a respective orientation relative to the reference point (e.g., 3332) includes detecting a change in orientation of the device (e.g., detecting a change in orientation of the device relative to a fixed reference point on the earth, for example based on orientation sensors of the device such as an accelerometer, a gyroscope, a magnetometer).
In some embodiments, detecting the change in orientation of the device (e.g., 3300) from the first orientation relative to the reference point (e.g., 3332) to a respective orientation relative to the reference point (e.g., 3332) includes detecting a change in orientation of a user relative to the device (e.g., based on a face tracking sensor such as a camera or other face tracking sensor that can detect changes of the point of view of a viewing angle of the device by a face that is being tracked by the device). In some examples, detecting the change in orientation of the device from the first orientation relative to the reference point to a respective orientation relative to the reference point includes detecting a change in orientation of a user relative to the device and detecting a change in orientation of the device.
The electronic device (e.g., 3300), in response to detecting the change in orientation of the device (3406), changes (3408) an appearance of the user interface object (e.g., 3324, 3354, 3344) by applying a visual effect (e.g., 3325, 3327, 3345) to the user interface object that varies a set of one or more parameters of the user interface object (e.g., 3324, 3354, 3344) as the orientation of the device changes relative to the reference point (e.g., 3332). Changing an appearance of a user interface object (e.g., 3324, 3344) by applying a visual effect (e.g., 3325, 3327, 3345) to the user interface object as the orientation of the device changes relative to a reference point (e.g., 3332) provides the user with visual feedback about a state of the user interface object and/or information about the user interface object, such as whether a transfer (e.g., of a message, of a file, of a resource, of a payment) associated with the user interface object has been successfully completed. Further, the change in amplitude of the visual effect as the orientation of the device changes indicates to the user that the displayed object is authentic and not a video that is displayed independent of the device orientation. 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, by enhancing legibility of user interface elements to the user while the device is at natural viewing angles) which, additionally, reduces power usage and improves battery life of the device by enabling the user to use the device more quickly and efficiently. Furthermore, providing the improved visual feedback also provides a security verification measure that cannot be duplicated (e.g., faked, copied) by a third-party application that is not an operating system-controlled (first-party) application. Improving security measures of the device enhances the operability of the device by preventing unauthorized access to content and operations and, additionally, reduces power usage and improves battery life of the device by enabling the user to use the device more efficiently.
In some embodiments, (3410) the visual effect (e.g., 3325, 3327, 3345) includes a coloring effect (e.g., 3327, 3345, of one or more colors, of two or more colors, of one or more colored patterns, such as a rainbow-colored pattern) applied to at least a portion of the user interface object. In some examples, the coloring effect is an iridescence effect of one or more colors that varies in color across a surface of the user interface object and changes as the orientation of the device relative to the baseline orientation changes. In some examples, the coloring effect is an iridescence effect that includes one or more rainbow-colored patterns. Applying a color effect as (part of) the visual effect allows the user to more easily perceive of and recognize the visual effect when it is applied (and thus, in some embodiments, allows the user to more easily recognize that a transfer associated with the user interface object to which the coloring effect is applied has been successfully completed). Further, modifying the color of the visual effect as the orientation of the device changes indicates to the user that the displayed object is authentic and not a video that is displayed independent of the device orientation. 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, by enhancing legibility of user interface elements to the user while the device is at natural viewing angles) which, additionally, reduces power usage and improves battery life of the device by enabling the user to use the device more quickly and efficiently. Furthermore, providing the improved visual feedback also provides a security verification measure that cannot be duplicated (e.g., faked, copied) by a third-party application that is not an operating system-controlled (first-party) application. Improving security measures of the device enhances the operability of the device by preventing unauthorized access to content and operations and, additionally, reduces power usage and improves battery life of the device by enabling the user to use the device more efficiently.
In some embodiments, (3412) a color of the coloring effect (e.g., 3327, 3345) applied to at least the portion of the user interface object (e.g., 3324, 3354, 3344) changes (e.g., shifts, transitions, smoothly changes) from a first color to a second color different from the first color in response to a change in orientation of the device of at least a predefined angular distance (e.g., colors shift across the user interface object as the orientation of the device changes relative to the baseline orientation, and/or the color displayed at any particular portion of the user interface object gradually transitions from one color to another color (optionally, through a sequence of intermediate colors in rainbow order) as the orientation of the device changes relative to the baseline orientation).
In some embodiments, (3414) the visual effect (e.g., 3325, 3327, 3345) includes a geometry alteration effect (e.g., 3325, a skewing effect, a 3D effect, a depth effect) applied to at least a portion of the user interface object (e.g., changing an angle or distance between lines or curves that define a shape of the object). Applying a geometry alteration effect (e.g., 3325) as (part of) the visual effect allows the user to more easily perceive of and recognize the visual effect when it is applied (and thus, in some embodiments, allows the user to more easily recognize that a transfer associated with the user interface object to which the geometry alteration effect is applied has been successfully completed). 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, by enhancing legibility of user interface elements to the user while the device is at natural viewing angles) which, additionally, reduces power usage and improves battery life of the device by enabling the user to use the device more quickly and efficiently. Furthermore, providing the improved visual feedback also provides a security verification measure that cannot be duplicated (e.g., faked, copied) by a third-party application that is not an operating system-controlled (first-party) application. Improving security measures of the device enhances the operability of the device by preventing unauthorized access to content and operations and, additionally, reduces power usage and improves battery life of the device by enabling the user to use the device more efficiently.
In some embodiments, the visual effect (e.g., 3325, 3327, 3345) includes a brightness effect. In some examples, the brightness effect is a light shine effect that causes the user interface object to appear as if a beam of light (e.g., in one or more colors) is being shined on the surface of the object. In some examples, the light shine effect causes the user interface object to sparkle as the beam of light is being shined on the surface of the object. In some examples, the brightness effect is a gloss or glazing effect that causes the surface of the user interface object to appear as if it has a glossy or polished texture. In some examples, the brightness effect is a shadow effect that causes the appearance of shadows accompanying the user interface object.
In some embodiments, (3416) the user interface object (e.g., 3324, 3354, 3344) is displayed on (e.g., located on, engraved into, on a surface of) a user interface item (e.g., 3334, 3338, a text message item (e.g., 3334) of a message conversation of a messaging application, such as a message object (as described above), a graphical representation of a payment account (e.g., 3338), such as a stored-value account, a cash account, or a checking account, a graphical representation of a user account, such as a resource account, a graphical representation of a card, such as a points card, a graphical representation of a payment card, such as a debit card or a credit card). In some examples, the user interface object (e.g., 3324, 3354, 3344) is a first user interface object of a plurality of user interface objects displayed on the surface of the user interface item (e.g., 3334, 3338). In some examples, the user interface object (e.g., 3324, 3354, 3344) appears “engraved” into the surface of the user interface item (e.g., 3334, 3338) in a V-shaped engraving pattern, where applying the visual effect to the user interface object includes applying a first magnitude of the visual effect to a first portion of the user interface object and applying a second magnitude (different from the first magnitude) of the visual effect to a second portion of the user interface object. Applying a first magnitude of the visual effect (e.g., 3325, 3327, 3345) to a first portion of a user interface object (e.g., 3324, 3354, 3344) and applying a second magnitude (that is different from the first magnitude) to a second portion of the user interface object (e.g., 3324, 3354, 3344) allows the user to more easily perceive of and recognize the visual effect when it is applied (and thus, in some embodiments, allows the user to more easily recognize that a transfer associated with the user interface object to which the visual effect having two different magnitudes has been applied has been successfully completed). Further, the change in the amplitude of the effect as the orientation of the device changes indicates to the user that the displayed object is authentic and not a video that is displayed independent of the device orientation. 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, by enhancing legibility of user interface elements to the user while the device is at natural viewing angles) which, additionally, reduces power usage and improves battery life of the device by enabling the user to use the device more quickly and efficiently. Furthermore, providing the improved visual feedback also provides a security verification measure that cannot be duplicated (e.g., faked, copied) by a third-party application that is not an operating system-controlled (first-party) application. Improving security measures of the device enhances the operability of the device by preventing unauthorized access to content and operations and, additionally, reduces power usage and improves battery life of the device by enabling the user to use the device more efficiently.
In some embodiments, (3418) the user interface item (e.g., 3334, 3338) corresponds to a (outgoing or incoming) message object (e.g., 3334, a text message object, a payment message object) of a message conversation (e.g., 3308) of a messaging application (e.g., 3306) (that is controlled by an operating system of the device).
In some embodiment, the visual effect (e.g., 3325, 3327, 3345) that varies the set of one or more parameters is applied (e.g., irrespective of a change in orientation of the device relative to the baseline orientation) to the user interface object (e.g., 3324, 3354, 3344) when a transfer (e.g., of resources, of a file, of a payment) associated with the message object corresponding to the user interface item (e.g., 3334, 3338) is completed (e.g., a payment is sent to a recipient of the message conversation of the messaging application, a payment is accepted by a recipient of the message conversation of the messaging application, for example as described in greater detail above with reference to method 1200).
In some embodiments, (3420) the user interface item (e.g., 3334, 3338) corresponds to a graphical representation of an account (e.g., 3338, graphical representations of a payment card, described with respect to methods 2100 and 2400).
The electronic device (e.g., 3300), (3406) in response to detecting the change in orientation of the device, in accordance with a determination that the change in orientation of the device includes movement, towards the baseline orientation, that meets predetermined criteria, (gradually) reduces (3422) an amplitude of the visual effect (e.g., 3325, 3327, 3345). In some examples, the visual effect (e.g., 3325, 3327, 3345) is gradually reduced for the duration that the orientation of the device is changing. In some examples, the visual effect (e.g., 3325, 3327, 3345) is gradually reduced as the orientation of the device changes (e.g., the greater the amount of change in the orientation the greater the change in the visual effect). In some examples, in accordance with a determination that the change in orientation of the device includes movement towards the baseline orientation that does not meet the predetermined criteria, the amplitude of the visual effect (e.g., 3325, 3327, 3345) is maintained or increased. Reducing an amplitude of a visual effect (e.g., 3325, 3327, 3345) in accordance with a determination that a change in orientation of the device includes movement, towards a baseline orientation, that meets predetermined criteria provides the user with visual feedback about a state of the user interface object and/or information about the user interface object, such as whether a transfer (e.g., of a message, of a file, of a resource, of a payment) associated with the user interface object has been successfully completed, and indicates tot the user that the transfer associated with the user interface object is a special type of transfer (e.g., a transfer made using a first-party application as opposed to a third-party application). 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, by enhancing legibility of user interface elements to the user while the device is at natural viewing angles) which, additionally, reduces power usage and improves battery life of the device by enabling the user to use the device more quickly and efficiently. Furthermore, providing the improved visual feedback also provides a security verification measure that cannot be duplicated (e.g., faked, copied) by a third-party application that is not an operating system-controlled (first-party) application. Improving security measures of the device enhances the operability of the device by preventing unauthorized access to content and operations and, additionally, reduces power usage and improves battery life of the device by enabling the user to use the device more efficiently.
In some embodiments, the predetermined criteria include movement (e.g., movement of the device or movement of a face of a user of the device) within a predefined angular distance from the baseline orientation.
In some embodiments, (3424) reducing the amplitude of the visual effect (e.g., 3325, 3327, 3345) comprises continuing to apply the visual effect (e.g., with a reduced amplitude compared to the amplitude of the visual effect applied to the user interface object prior to the change in orientation of the device) to the user interface object (e.g., 3324, 3354, 3344) (reducing amplitude of the visual effect to the user interface object without ceasing to apply the visual effect to the user interface object).
In some embodiments, (3426) reducing the amplitude of the visual effect (e.g., 3325, 3327, 3345) comprises gradually decreasing the amplitude while the orientation of the device (e.g., 3300) moves towards the baseline orientation. In some examples, the magnitude of the reduction of the amplitude of the visual effect is dependent on the magnitude of the change in orientation of the device such that a first amount of movement toward the baseline orientation results in a first amount of decrease in the amplitude of the visual effect and a second amount of movement toward the baseline orientation that results in the orientation of the device being closer to the baseline orientation results in a second amount of decrease in the amplitude of the visual effect that is greater than the first amount of decrease in the amplitude of the visual effect.
In some embodiments, (3428) reducing the amplitude of the visual effect comprises (gradually) ceasing to apply the visual effect to the user interface object.
In some embodiments, (3430) the visual effect (e.g., 3325, 3327, 3345) includes a coloring effect (e.g., 3327, 3345, of one or more colors, of two or more colors, of one or more colored patterns, such as a rainbow-colored pattern) applied to at least a portion of the user interface object, and reducing the amplitude of the coloring effect (e.g., 3327, 3345) includes reducing a saturation of a color of the coloring effect applied to at least the portion of the user interface object (e.g., 3324, 3354, 3344). In some examples, increasing the amplitude of the visual effect includes increasing a saturation of the coloring effect (e.g., 3327, 3345).
In some embodiments, (3432) the visual effect (e.g., 3325, 3327, 3345) includes a geometry alteration effect (e.g., 3325, a skewing effect, a 3D effect, a depth effect) applied to at least a portion of the user interface object (e.g., changing an angle or distance between lines or curves that define a shape of the object), and the geometry alteration effect (e.g., 3325) is a skewing effect, and wherein reducing the amplitude of the visual effect includes reducing an amount of skew of the geometry of the user interface object (e.g., 3324, 3354, 3344). In some examples, increasing the amplitude of the visual effect includes increasing an amount of skew of the geometry of the user interface object (e.g., 3324, 3354, 3344). In some examples, the skewing effect includes shifting a line that represents an upper extent of a simulated three-dimensional object toward or away from a line that represents a lower extent of the simulated three-dimensional object (e.g., shifting a line that represents a top of a raised pattern toward or away from edges of the raised pattern), or a center line that represents a lower extent of a simulated three-dimensional object toward or away from a line that represents an upper extent of the simulated three-dimensional object (e.g., shifting a line that represents a bottom of an engraved pattern toward or away from edges of the engraved pattern). In some examples, reducing the skewing effect includes decreasing the amount of shifting of the line as the orientation of the device relative to a baseline orientation changes.
In some embodiments, (3434) the visual effect (e.g., 3325, 3327, 3345) includes a geometry alteration effect (e.g., 3325, a skewing effect, a 3D effect, a depth effect) applied to at least a portion of the user interface object (e.g., changing an angle or distance between lines or curves that define a shape of the object), and the geometry alteration effect is a simulated depth effect, and reducing the amplitude of the visual effect includes reducing a simulated depth of the geometry of the user interface object (e.g., 3324, 3354, 3344) (e.g., reducing an angle from a bottom of an engraved pattern to the surface into which the engraved pattern is engraved, or reducing an angle from the top of a raised object to surface on which the raised pattern is placed). In some examples, increasing the amplitude of the visual effect includes increasing a simulated depth of the geometry of the user interface object (e.g., 3324, 3354, 3344).
The electronic device (e.g., 3300), in response to detecting the change in orientation of the device, in accordance with a determination that the change in orientation of the device includes movement, away from the baseline orientation, that meets the predetermined criteria, continues (3436) to apply the visual effect (e.g., 3325, 3327, 3345) to the user interface object (e.g., 3324, 3354, 3344) without reducing the amplitude of the visual effect (e.g., at a constant amplitude, at a gradually increasing amplitude). In some examples, in accordance with a determination that the change in orientation of the device includes movement away from the baseline orientation that does not meet the predetermined criteria, the amplitude of the visual effect (e.g., 3325, 3327, 3345) is reduced or the visual effect is ceased to be displayed. Continuing to apply the visual effect (e.g., 3325, 3327, 3345) to the user interface object (e.g., 3324, 3354, 3344) without reducing the amplitude of the visual effect provides the user with visual feedback about a state of the user interface object and/or information about the user interface object, such as whether a transfer (e.g., of a message, of a file, of a resource, of a payment) associated with the user interface object has been successfully completed, and, by continuing to apply the visual effect to the user interface object without reducing the amplitude of the visual effect, also enables the user to more easily notice the application of the visual effect to the user interface object (e.g., as opposed to if the visual effect is immediately removed or removed after only a very brief period after the successful completion of a transfer). 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, by enhancing legibility of user interface elements to the user while the device is at natural viewing angles) which, additionally, reduces power usage and improves battery life of the device by enabling the user to use the device more quickly and efficiently. Furthermore, providing the improved visual feedback also provides a security verification measure that cannot be duplicated (e.g., faked, copied) by a third-party application that is not an operating system-controlled (first-party) application. Improving security measures of the device enhances the operability of the device by preventing unauthorized access to content and operations and, additionally, reduces power usage and improves battery life of the device by enabling the user to use the device more efficiently.
In some embodiments, (3438) continuing to apply the visual effect (e.g., 3325, 3327, 3345) to the user interface object (e.g., 3324, 3354, 3344) without reducing the amplitude of the visual effect comprises (gradually) increasing the amplitude of the visual effect while the orientation of the device (e.g., 3300) moves away from the baseline orientation. In some examples, the magnitude of the increase of the amplitude of the visual effect (e.g., 3325, 3327, 3345) is dependent on the magnitude of the change in orientation of the device such that a first amount of movement away from the baseline orientation results in a first amount of increase in the amplitude of the visual effect and a second amount of movement away from the baseline orientation that results in the orientation of the device being further from the baseline orientation results in a second amount of increase in the amplitude of the visual effect that is greater than the first amount of increase in the amplitude of the visual effect. Increasing the amplitude of the visual effect (e.g., 3325, 3327, 3345) provides the user with visual feedback about a state of the user interface object and/or information about the user interface object, such as whether a transfer (e.g., of a message, of a file, of a resource, of a payment) associated with the user interface object has been successfully completed, and, because the amplitude of the visual effect is increased, also enables the user to more easily perceive the application of the visual effect to the user interface object (e.g., as opposed to if the visual effect was static). 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, by enhancing legibility of user interface elements to the user while the device is at natural viewing angles) which, additionally, reduces power usage and improves battery life of the device by enabling the user to use the device more quickly and efficiently. Furthermore, providing the improved visual feedback also provides a security verification measure that cannot be duplicated (e.g., faked, copied) by a third-party application that is not an operating system-controlled (first-party) application. Improving security measures of the device enhances the operability of the device by preventing unauthorized access to content and operations and, additionally, reduces power usage and improves battery life of the device by enabling the user to use the device more efficiently.
In some embodiments, the electronic device (e.g., 3300), in response to detecting the change in orientation of the device, detects, via the one or more sensor devices, that the device is at a second orientation relative to the baseline orientation, wherein the second orientation is at least a predefined limit angular distance (e.g., 25 degrees, 30 degrees, 45 degrees, 90 degrees) from the baseline orientation. In some embodiments, the device further, in response to detecting the change in orientation of the device, and in response to detecting that the device is at the second orientation relative to the baseline orientation, gradually ceases to display the visual effect (e.g., 3325, 3327, 3345) to the user interface object (e.g., 3324, 3354, 3344) (e.g., the magnitude of the reduction of the amplitude of the visual effect while it is being gradually ceased to be displayed is dependent on the magnitude of the change in orientation of the device such that a first amount of movement toward the baseline orientation results in a first amount of decrease in the amplitude of the visual effect and a second amount of movement toward the baseline orientation that results in the orientation of the device being closer to the baseline orientation results in a second amount of decrease in the amplitude of the visual effect that is greater than the first amount of decrease in the amplitude of the visual effect).
In some embodiments, the visual effect (e.g., 3325, 3327, 3345) that varies the set of one or more parameters is applied to the user interface object (e.g., 3324, 3354, 3344) when a transfer (e.g., of resources, of one or more files, of a payment, a payment is transmitted using near-field communication) is completed using the account corresponding to the graphical representation corresponding to the user interface item (e.g., 3334, 3338) (e.g., as described in greater detail above with reference to method 1200).
In some embodiments, changing the appearance of the user interface object (e.g., 3324, 3354, 3344) is (only) controlled by a first application (e.g., a first-party application, such as a first-party messaging application, a first-party payment application) that is integrated with (e.g., controlled or wholly managed by) an operating system of the device (e.g., 3300) and the ability to change the appearance of a user interface object based on a change in orientation of the device from the first orientation relative to the reference point to a respective orientation relative to the reference point is not available to applications that are not integrated with the operating system of the device (e.g., applications that are not controlled by the operating system of the device, such as third-party applications). In some examples, the first application (e.g., a first-party application) that is controlled by the operating system of the device has access to motion data (e.g., data from an accelerometer) of the device or user orientation data (e.g., face tracking data from one or more cameras or other sensors) that is used to manage display of the user interface object, while the second application (e.g., a third-party application) that is not controlled by the operating system of the device does not have access to the motion data or user orientation data (e.g., face tracking data from one or more cameras or other sensors). Restricting control of changing the appearance of a user interface object (e.g., 3324, 3354, 3344) to a first application (e.g., a first-party application) that is integrated with an operating system of the device and prohibiting the ability to change the appearance of a user interface object based on a change in orientation of the device from applications (e.g., third-party applications) that are not integrated with the operating system of the device enhances device security by disallowing other applications that are not integrated with an operating system of the device to use the same (or similar) changing appearances of a user interface object for actions that are not connected with a successful transfer (e.g., of a file, of a resource, of a payment) made using an application that is integrated with an operating system of the device. Improving security measures of the device enhances the operability of the device by preventing unauthorized access to content and operations and, additionally, reduces power usage and improves battery life of the device by enabling the user to use the device more efficiently.
In some embodiments, further in response to detecting the change in orientation of the device (e.g., 3300), in accordance with a determination that the device is at the baseline orientation (or with an orientation that is within a predetermined delta of the baseline orientation), the device (e.g., 3300) continues (3440) to apply the visual effect (e.g., 3325, 3327, 3345) (e.g., with a reduced amplitude or with a constant amplitude compared to the amplitude of the visual effect applied to the user interface object prior to the change in orientation of the device) to the user interface object (e.g., 3324, 3354, 3344).
In some embodiments, the electronic device (e.g., 3300) further includes one or more tactile output generators, and, in response to detecting the change in orientation of the device from the first orientation relative to the reference point (e.g., 3332) to the respective orientation relative to the reference point, the device generates (3442), via the one or more tactile output generators, (e.g., for the duration of the change in the orientation of the device) a tactile output (e.g., 3336) that is indicative of the change in orientation of the device from the first orientation relative to the reference point (e.g., 3332) to the respective orientation relative to the reference point (e.g., a tactile output that includes a parameter that is adjusted based on a magnitude, speed, and/or direction of change in the orientation of the device relative to the baseline orientation). Generating a tactile output (e.g., 3336) provides the user with sensory feedback (e.g., in addition to visual feedback, to supplement visual feedback, or in place of visual feedback) about an operation that will be performed or has been performed by the device, such as that a transfer (e.g., of a message, of a file, of a resource, of a payment) has been successfully completed by the device. Providing improved sensory 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 electronic device (e.g., 3300) further includes one or more tactile output generators, and, in response to detecting the change in orientation of the device (e.g., 3300) from the first orientation relative to the reference point (e.g., 3332) to the respective orientation relative to the reference point, in accordance with a determination that the visual effect (e.g., 3325, 3327, 3345) being applied to the user interface object (e.g., 3324, 3354, 3344) exceeds a predefined amplitude limit (e.g., a minimum amount of visual effect, a trigger amount of visual effect), the device generates, via the one or more tactile output generators, (e.g., for the duration of the change in the orientation of the device) a tactile output (e.g., 3336) that is indicative of the change in orientation of the device from the first orientation relative to the reference point to the respective orientation relative to the reference point. In some embodiments, the device (e.g., 3300), in accordance with a determination that the visual effect (e.g., 3325, 3327, 3345) being applied to the user interface object (e.g., 3324, 3354, 3344) does not exceed the predefined amplitude limit (e.g., a minimum amount of visual effect, a trigger amount of visual effect), further forgoes generating, via the one or more tactile output generators, (e.g., for the duration of the change in the orientation of the device) the tactile output (e.g., 3336) that is indicative of the change in orientation of the device from the first orientation relative to the reference point to the respective orientation relative to the reference point. Forgoing generating a tactile output (e.g., 3336) (e.g., that is associated with a visual effect being applied to a user interface object) in accordance with a determination that the visual effect being applied to the user interface object does not exceed a predefined amplitude (e.g., magnitude) limit allows the device to avoid providing unnecessary (or inappropriate/false) sensory feedback. Reducing unnecessary output provided by the device enhances the operability of the device and makes the user-device interface more efficient (e.g., by helping the user to achieve an intended result by providing feedback indicative of an input that will cause the device to generate the intended result 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, (3444) a parameter (e.g., magnitude, frequency, rate of repetition) of the generated tactile output (e.g., an amount of physical displacement of the device or a component of the device caused by the tactile output, a waveform with which a mass driven by the tactile output generator is driven, such as the waveforms discussed above with reference to
In some embodiments, (3446) a parameter (e.g., magnitude, frequency, rate of repetition) of the generated tactile output (e.g., an amount of physical displacement of the device or a component of the device caused by the tactile output, a waveform with which a mass driven by the tactile output generator is driven, or a spacing between repetitions of a tactile output) changes based on (e.g., in correlation with) an amount (e.g., a distance) of movement of the device (e.g., 3300) (while the orientation of the device changes). In some examples, the magnitude of the generated tactile output increases (e.g., the amount of physical displacement of the device or a component of the device increase) as (or in correlation with) the amount of movement of the device increases. In some examples, the magnitude of the generated tactile output decreases (e.g., the amount of physical displacement of the device or a component of the device decreases) as (or in correlation with) the amount of movement of the device decreases. Generating a tactile output (e.g., 3336) that changes based on an amount of movement of the device allows the user to more easily sense and recognize the tactile output when it is generated (and thus, in some embodiments, allows the user to more easily recognize that an operation that corresponds to this type of tactile output has been performed by the device). Providing a unique sensory feedback (such as the tac tile output based on changes an amount of movement) 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 electronic device (e.g., 3300), (3448) while no longer detecting a change in orientation of the device relative to the reference point (e.g., 3332) (e.g., immediately after or in response to ceasing to detect the change in orientation of the device), ceases (3450) to change the appearance of the user interface object (e.g., 3324, 3354, 3344). In some examples, the visual effect (e.g., 3325, 3327, 3345) continues to be applied but does not change while the orientation of the device does not change. In some embodiments, (3448) while no longer detecting a change in orientation of the device relative to the reference point (e.g., 3332), the device further (continues to) generates (3452), via the one or more tactile output generators, (e.g., continuing to perform (for a predetermined period of time) the tactile output from when the orientation of the device was changing) the tactile output (e.g., 3336) that is indicative of the change in orientation of the device from the first orientation relative to the reference point to the respective orientation relative to the reference point.
In some embodiments, the electronic device (e.g., 3300) detects (3454), via the one or more sensor devices, a ceasing (e.g., stopping) of the change in orientation of the device. In some embodiments, in response to detecting the ceasing of the change in orientation of the device, the device further gradually ceases (3456) to generate the tactile output (e.g., 3336). In some examples, gradually ceasing to generate the tactile output (e.g., 3336) includes gradually ceasing to generate the tactile output over the predefined period based on a speed or an amount of movement of the device relative to the baseline orientation prior to the stopping of the device. For example, if the device had been moving (on average) at a faster speed prior to stopping, the predefined period is longer than if the device had been moving (on average) at a slower speed prior to stopping. For another example, if the device had moved a longer (aggregate) distance prior to stopping, the predefined period is longer than if the device had moved a shorter (aggregate) distance prior to stopping. In some examples, the predefined period is based on a predefined time limit, such as 0.2 seconds, 0.5 seconds, or 1 second. In some embodiments, gradually ceasing to generate the tactile output (e.g., 3336) includes ceasing to generate the tactile output based on a simulated physical system (e.g., an energy dissipation system). In some embodiments, parameters of the simulated physical system are selected to ensure that the tactile output (e.g., 3336) gradually ceases within a threshold amount of time (e.g., an energy dissipation system with a predefined drain rate and a limited capacity for energy storage).
In some embodiments, the generated tactile output is a repetition of two or more distinctive tactile output patterns (e.g., one or more of the tactile output patterns described above with reference to
In some embodiments, the electronic device is a wearable device (e.g., a smartwatch). In some embodiments, subsequent to receiving authorization (from the user of the device) (e.g., a biometric authorization, such as a fingerprint authorization, a facial recognition authorization, voice recognition authorization, retina/iris scan authorization) to proceed with a transfer (e.g., a payment transaction), and in accordance with a determination that the received authorization is successful (e.g., the received authorization information is consistent with enrolled authorization information for authorizing transfers) the device transmits, via a wireless transmission device, account credentials (e.g., payment credentials of a payment account, such as a stored-value account, a debit card account, a credit card account) to a transaction terminal (e.g., a near field communication terminal, a point of sale terminal) for proceeding with the transfer. In some embodiments, subsequent to transmitting the account credentials to the transaction terminal, or in response to receiving a response signal from the transaction terminal acknowledging successful receipt of the account credentials and that the transfer has been successfully completed, the device (e.g., after turning off a display and/or while maintaining a display in an off state) generates a tactile output (e.g., to indicate to the user that the payment transaction with the transaction terminal was successfully completed).

As described below, method 3700 provides an intuitive way for managing peer-to-peer transactions. The method reduces the cognitive burden on a user for managing peer-to-peer transactions, thereby creating a more efficient human-machine interface. For battery-operated computing devices, enabling a user to manage peer-to-peer transactions faster and more efficiently conserves power and increases the time between battery charges.
The electronic device (e.g., 3500A, 3600A) displays (3702), on the display (e.g., 3502, 3602), a message compose user interface (e.g., 3520, 3620) that includes a message compose region for composing messages to a recipient (e.g., displayed concurrently with an input region such as a keyboard or value picker and/or a message conversation that includes a plurality of messages between a user of the device and one or more participants in the message conversation). Displaying the message compose region for composing messages provides visual feedback indicating that a message is (or can be) drafted. 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.
While displaying the message compose user interface (e.g., 3520, 3620), the electronic device (e.g., 3500A, 3600A) receives (3704) a request to generate a draft message (e.g., 3534, 3634) that includes respective content (e.g., typing on a keyboard or entering a value in the value picker).
In some embodiments, the message compose user interface (e.g., 3520, 3620) includes (3706) a first affordance (e.g., 3526, 3626, 3530, 3630 a universal send button for sending both a regular message and a concealment message or a separate concealment message button). In some embodiments, receiving the request to generate the draft message that includes the respective content includes (3708) detecting, via the one or more input devices, a first type of input (e.g., a tap gesture, a force-press, a long-press, a hard-press) on the first affordance (e.g., 3530, 3630, at a location on a touch-sensitive surface that corresponds to a location of the first affordance on a display). In some examples, the first affordance is a toggle. In some examples, in response to detecting the user selection of the first affordance (e.g., 3530, 3630), the affordance changes from an “off” state to an “on” state (e.g., changes a toggle position, changes color).
In some embodiments, in response to detecting the first type of input (e.g., a tap gesture, a force-press, a long-press, a hard-press) on the first affordance (e.g., 3530, 3630, at a location on a touch-sensitive surface that corresponds to a location of the first affordance on a display), the electronic device (e.g., 3500A, 3600A) changes (3710) a graphical characteristic (e.g., color, shape, shading, outline) of the first affordance (e.g., 3631, to indicate that the message being drafted is a gift message). Changing the graphical characteristic of the first affordance in response to detecting the first type of input on the first affordance provides visual feedback by indicating that an input has been received on the affordance. 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 electronic device (e.g., 3500A, 3600A) detects (3712), via the one or more input devices, a second type of input (e.g., a long-press, a force-press, a hard-press, different from the first type of input) on the first affordance (e.g., 3530, 3630, a concealment message button).
In some embodiments, in response to detecting the second type of input on the first affordance (e.g., 3530, 3630), the electronic device (e.g., 3500A, 3600A) displays (3714), on the display (e.g., 3502, 3602), a user interface (e.g., 3656) containing a plurality of concealment animation options (e.g., 3656A-3656C), where the plurality of concealment animation options include a first concealment animation option (e.g., a letter/envelope animation) and a second concealment animation option (e.g., a gift box animation) different from the first concealment animation option.
In some embodiments, the type of graphical animation options (e.g., 3656A-3656C) that are available to be chosen are (automatically) selected based on context. Selecting (e.g., automatically, without user input) the type of graphical animation options that are available to be chosen based on context reduces the number of inputs needed from the user to select a graphical animation. Performing an operation without requiring further user input 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 plurality of concealment options displayed on the user interface are (automatically) selected based on context information (e.g., current time of year, current time, current date, upcoming holiday, upcoming birthday) retrieved from a context source. For example, during or shortly before a first holiday, a concealment option that is associated with the first holiday is displayed and during or shortly before a second holiday that is different from the first holiday, a concealment option that is associated with the second holiday is displayed (e.g., in place of the concealment option associated with the first holiday). Selecting the plurality of concealment options that are displayed on the user interface based on context enables the device to present the user with options that are more likely to be chosen by the user. Performing an operation based on context information 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 types of available graphical animations can only be controlled by the operating system (and not by a third party application).
In some embodiments, the plurality of concealment animation options are controlled by a first-party application (that is controlled by the operating system) running on the device (and cannot be controlled by a third-party application running on the device).
In some embodiments, the draft message is associated with a payment of an amount (e.g., payment of a specific amount of funds to the recipient).
In response to receiving the request to generate the draft message, the electronic device (e.g., 3500A, 3600A) displays (3720), in the message compose region (e.g., 3532, 3632), a representation of the draft message (e.g., 3534, 3634).
In some embodiments, prior to displaying, in the message compose region (e.g., 3532, 3632), the representation of the draft message (e.g., 3534, 3634), the electronic device (e.g., 3500A, 3600A) retrieves (3716) context information (e.g., current time of year, current time, current date, upcoming holiday, upcoming birthday) from a context source (e.g., a remote server, a database). In some embodiments, the electronic device (e.g., 3500A, 3600A) automatically applies (3718) a graphical characteristic (e.g., color, pattern, texture, shape, surface material) to the representation of the draft message based on the retrieved context information. Automatically applying (e.g., without user input) the graphical characteristic to the representation of the draft message based on the context information reduces the number of inputs needed to select a graphical characteristic to be applied. Reducing the number of inputs needed to perform an operation enhances the operability of the device 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 accordance with a determination that the draft message is a first type of draft message (e.g., a gift transfer message) that is designated for delivery as a concealed message, the electronic device (e.g., 3500A, 3600A) displays (3722) at least a portion of the respective content (e.g., 3540, 3640) of the draft message concurrently with a representation of a concealment element (e.g., 3538, 3638). Displaying at least the portion of the respective content (e.g., 3540, 3640) of the draft message concurrently with the representation of the concealment element in accordance with the determination that the draft message is the first type of draft message that is designated for delivery as a concealed message provides visual feedback by indicating that the displayed draft message corresponds to a particular type of message (e.g., a gift transfer message). 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.
In some embodiments, displaying at least the portion of the respective content (e.g., 3540, 3640) of the draft message concurrently with the representation of the concealment element (e.g., 3538, 3638, an envelope element, a gift box element) further comprises displaying (3734) the respective content of the draft message at least partially enclosed in the concealment element. Displaying the respective content of the draft message at least partially enclosed in the concealment element provides visual feedback by indicating that the contents of the draft message may be concealed. 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. In some examples, the respective content is displayed on a content element different from the concealment element, and the content element is at least partially enclosed in the concealment element. In some examples, the respective content is completely enclosed in the concealment element.
In some embodiments, in accordance with the determination that the draft message (e.g., 3534, 3634) is the first type of draft message that is designated delivery as a concealed message, the respective content (e.g., 3540, 3640) is displayed on a graphical representation of a letter. In some embodiments, in accordance with the determination that the draft message is the first type of draft message that is designated delivery as a concealed message, the representation of the concealment element is a graphical representation of an envelope. In some embodiments, in accordance with the determination that the draft message is the first type of draft message that is designated delivery as a concealed message, displaying at least the portion of the respective content of the draft message concurrently with the representation of the concealment element comprises displaying the graphical representation of the letter at least partially concealed in (e.g., enclosed in or covered by) the graphical representation of the envelope.
In some embodiments, in accordance with the determination that the draft message (e.g., 3534, 3634) is the first type of draft message that is designated delivery as a concealed message, the respective content (e.g., 3540, 3640) is displayed on a graphical representation of a gift object. In some embodiments, in accordance with the determination that the draft message (e.g., 3534, 3634) is the first type of draft message that is designated delivery as a concealed message, the representation of the concealment element (e.g., 3538, 3638) is a graphical representation of a gift wrap (e.g., a gift box, a gift bag, a gift packaging). In some embodiments, in accordance with the determination that the draft message (e.g., 3534, 3634) is the first type of draft message that is designated delivery as a concealed message, displaying at least the portion of the respective content (e.g., 3540, 3640) of the draft message concurrently with the representation of the concealment element (e.g., 3538, 3638) comprises displaying the graphical representation of the gift object at least partially enclosed in the graphical representation of the gift wrap.
In some embodiments, (e.g., in accordance with the determination that the draft message is the first type of draft message that is designated delivery as a concealed message) at least the portion of the respective content (e.g., 3540, 3640) of the draft message (e.g., 3534, 3634) is displayed (3736) with a visual effect (e.g., a 3D effect, an iridescence effect, a depth effect, a coloring effect). Displaying at least the portion of the respective content of the draft message with the visual effect provides visual feedback to the user indicating that the message corresponds to a message sent using a particular type of application (e.g., a first-party application that is controlled by the operating system of the device and not by a third-party application) that is secure, thus enhancing the operability of the device and making the user-device interface more secure (e.g., by reducing fraud when operating/interacting with the device). In some examples, the visual effect corresponds to the depth effect described with referenced to
In accordance with a determination that the draft message (e.g., 3568, 3668) is a second type of draft message (e.g., a regular non-gift transfer message) that is designated for delivery as an unconcealed message, the electronic device (e.g., 3500A, 3600A) displays (3724) at least a portion of the respective content of the draft message without displaying a representation of a concealment element. Displaying at least the portion of the respective content of the draft message without displaying a representation of a concealment element in accordance with the determination that the draft message is the second type of draft that is designated for delivery as an unconcealed message provides visual feedback by indicating that the displayed draft message corresponds to a particular type of message (e.g., a non-gift transfer message). 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.
In some embodiments, while displaying the representation of the draft message, the electronic device (e.g., 3500A, 3600A) receives (3726) a request to send the draft message. In some embodiments, in response to receiving the request to send the draft message, the electronic device (e.g., 3500A, 3600A) sends (3728), to the recipient, the draft message, including: in accordance with a determination that the draft message (e.g., 3534, 3634) is the first type of draft message that is designated for delivery as a concealed message, sending (3730) the draft message along with instructions to initially conceal the respective content (e.g., 3540, 3640) of the draft message with the concealment element (e.g., 3538, 3638), and, in accordance with a determination that the draft message is the second type of draft message that is designated for delivery as an unconcealed message, sending (3732) the draft message (e.g., 3568, 3668) without instructions to initially conceal the respective content of the draft message with the concealment element. Sending the draft message with or without instructions to initially conceal the respective content of the draft message with the concealment element based on a determination of whether the draft message is the first type of draft message that is designated for delivery as a concealed message or the second type of draft message that is designated for delivery as an unconcealed message allows the user to easily create and send a particular type of message. 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, in response to sending the draft message (e.g., 3534, 3634) to the recipient, in accordance with the determination that the draft message is the first type of draft message that is designated for delivery as a concealed message, the electronic device (e.g., 3500A, 3600A) displays (3738), in a message conversation (e.g., 3506, 3606) of a messaging application (on the device of the user) (e.g., 3504, 3604), a transmitted representation of the draft message (e.g., 3534, 3634), where the respective content (e.g., 3540, 3640) of the draft message is (entirely) concealed by the concealment element. Displaying, in the message conversation, the transmitted representation of the draft message provides visual feedback by indicating which type of message was sent. 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.
In some embodiments, displaying, in the message conversation (e.g., 3506, 3606) of the messaging application (on the device of the user) (e.g., 3506, 3606), the transmitted representation of the draft message comprises displaying (3740) a dynamic graphical animation of the concealment element (e.g., 3538, 3638) concealing (e.g., enclosing, wrapping, covering) the respective content. Displaying the dynamic graphical animation of the concealment element concealing the respective content provides visual feedback by indicating that the message has been successfully transmitted as a particular type of message (e.g., a gift transfer message). 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. In some examples, the concealment element is an envelope, the respective content is included on a letter, and the dynamic graphical animation is the envelope enclosing the letter. In some examples, the concealment element is a gift box, the respective content included on a gift item, and the dynamic graphical animation is the gift box enclosing the gift item.
In some embodiments, the instructions to initially conceal the respective content (e.g., 3540, 3640) of the message with the concealment element (e.g., 3538, 3638) further includes instructions to prevent displaying the respective content (e.g., text, a numerical amount) of the draft message in a receipt notification displayed at a second device of the recipient (e.g., until a particular user input is received, such as activation of the concealment element).
In some embodiments, in accordance with a determination that the draft message (e.g., 3534, 3634) has been viewed (by the recipient at the recipient's device), the electronic device (e.g., 3500A, 3600A) displays (3742), in the message conversation (e.g., 3506, 3606) of the messaging application (on the device of the user) (e.g., 3504, 3604), at least the portion of the respective content (e.g., 3540, 3640) of the draft message concurrently with the representation of the concealment element (e.g., 3538, 3638, as initially displayed in the message compose user interface as a pending draft message). Displaying, in the message conversation, at least the portion of the respective content of the draft message concurrently with the representation of the concealment element in accordance with the determination that the draft message has been viewed provides visual feedback by allowing the user to easily recognize that the message has been viewed by the intended recipient (and that the gift associated with the message has been accepted). 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.

Correspondingly, gift message object 3821 displayed in message conversation 3815 on Kate's Device (corresponding to gift message object 3820 displayed in message conversation 3814 on John's Device) is also opened (e.g., via the same graphical animation of the gift message object opening applied to gift message object 3820 on John's Device) to reveal a content object 3831 corresponding to content object 3830 on John's Device. Because the two gift message objects (gift message object 3820 on John's Device and gift message object 3821 on Kate's Device) correspond to the same gift transfer (e.g., of 50 GB of data storage from Kate to John), content object 3831 also shows an amount indication 3833 showing the same amount of data storage (e.g., 50 GB) that was gifted by Kate to John. In some embodiments, in accordance with a determination that the gift message object has been opened by the recipient (John) on the recipient's device (John's Device), Kate's Device also displays, in message conversation 3815, a status indicator 3837 indicating that the gift message has been opened by the recipient (John).

Message conversation 3914 further includes a status indicator 3928 (e.g., text stating “This Content Has Not Been Opened,” corresponding to status indicator 3654 shown above in
Because message conversation 3914 and message conversation 3914A are corresponding conversations between the same participants (Kate and John), message conversation 3914A shows messages corresponding to the messages shown in message conversation 3914. For example, message conversation 3914A on Kate's Device includes a message object 3918A (e.g., stating “Thanks again for coming to celebrate!”) that corresponds to message object 3918 of message conversation 3914 on John's Device. Similarly, message conversation 3914A on Kate's Device includes a gift message object 3920A that corresponds to gift message object 3920 of message conversation 3914 of John's Device. As with gift message object 3920 on John's Device, gift message object 3920A on Kate's Device includes a concealment element 3922A (corresponding to concealment element 3922) and a message 3924A (corresponding to message 3924) shown on concealment element 3922A.
In some embodiments, as with message conversation 3914 of John's Device, message conversation 3914A includes a status indicator 3928A (corresponding to status indicator 3928, stating “This Content Has Not Been Opened”) that indicates to the user that the gift payment corresponding to gift message object 3920A (and thus also corresponding to gift message object 3920) has not yet been opened by the recipient, John.
In response to detecting user selection 2903 of gift message object 3920, gift message object 3920 is opened to reveal content object 3930 that is enclosed within concealment object 3922. In some embodiments, a graphical animation is applied to gift message object 3920 when the content object is revealed. For example, as shown by the sequence of

As described below, method 4000 provides an intuitive way for managing peer-to-peer transactions. The method reduces the cognitive burden on a user for managing peer-to-peer transactions, thereby creating a more efficient human-machine interface. For battery-operated computing devices, enabling a user to manage peer-to-peer transactions faster and more efficiently conserves power and increases the time between battery charges.
The electronic device (e.g., 3800B, 3900B) displays (4002), on the display (e.g., 3802, 3902), a message user interface that includes at least a portion of a message conversation (e.g., 3814, 3914) between a user of the device and one or more other participants (e.g., 3817, 3917). Displaying the message user interface that includes at least the portion of the message conversation between the user of the device and one or more other participants provides visual feedback by allowing the user to easily view recent dialogue of the message conversation. 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. While displaying the message user interface, the electronic device (e.g., 3800B, 3900B) receives (4004) a message.
In response to receiving the message, the electronic device (e.g., 3800B, 3900B) displays (4006) a representation of the message (e.g., 3820, 3920) in the message conversation (e.g., 3814, 3914). Displaying the representation of the message in the message conversation in response to receiving the message provides visual feedback by enabling the user to easily view the contents of the received message in the message conversation. 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. While displaying the message user interface, the electronic device (e.g., 3800B, 3900B) receives (4004) a message.
Displaying the representation of the message (e.g., 3820, 3920) in the message conversation (e.g., 3814, 3914) includes, in accordance with a determination that the message is a first type of message and is sent with instructions to initially conceal respective content of the message (e.g., a gift message), displaying (4008), in the message conversation (e.g., 3814, 3914), a concealment element (e.g., 3822, 3922) that conceals (some or all of) the respective content of the message, where (at least a portion of) the concealment element is displayed with a dynamic visual effect (e.g., an iridescence effect, a 3D effect) that changes as an angle of the device relative to a reference point changes (e.g., a change in position of a user's face relative to the display of the device detected by a camera, a change in orientation of the device relative to a reference point detected by an accelerometer). Displaying the concealment element that conceals the respective content of the message provides visual feedback by indicating to the viewer that the message corresponds to a special type of message (e.g., a gift message). 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. Further, displaying the concealment element with the dynamic visual effect provides visual feedback to the viewer that the message corresponds to a special type of message (e.g., a message sent by a first-party application controlled by the operating system of the device, as opposed to a third-party application) that is secure, thus enhancing the operability of the device and making the user-device interface more secure (e.g., by reducing fraud when operating/interacting with the device).
In some examples, the visual effect is a coloring effect (e.g., as described with reference to
In some embodiments, subsequent to displaying the representation of the message (e.g., 3820, 3920) in the message conversation (e.g., 3814, 3914), in accordance with the determination that the message is the first type of message and is sent with instructions to initially conceal respective content of the message (e.g., a gift message), the electronic device (e.g., 3800B, 3900B) detects (4014), via the one or more input devices, a user input on the concealment element (e.g., 3820, 3920) of the representation of the message (e.g., at a location on a touch-sensitive surface corresponding to a display location of the representation of the message on a display).
In some embodiments, in response to detecting (4016) the user input on the concealment element (e.g., 3820, 3920), the electronic device (e.g., 3800B, 3900B) displays (4018), in the message conversation (e.g., 3814, 3914), a content element (e.g., 3830, 3930) that includes the respective content (e.g., 3832, 3932) of the message, where the dynamic visual effect (e.g., an iridescence effect, a 3D effect) is applied to (at least a portion of) the content element. Displaying, in the message conversation, the content element that includes the respective content of the message in response to detecting the user input on the concealment element provides visual feedback by allowing the viewer (e.g., the user, the recipient) to view the content of the message after performing a specific input. 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.
In some examples, the dynamic visual effect is applied only to the content of the message (e.g., 3832, 3932) on the content element (e.g., 3830, 3930). In some examples, in response to detecting the user input on the concealment element, in addition to displaying the content element, the device causes the first amount of the first type of item in an account to be added to an account (for storing items of the first type) associated with a user of the device. In some examples, the account is controlled by an operating system of the device and cannot be controlled by a third party application.
In some embodiments, further in response to detecting (4016) the user input on the concealment element (e.g., 3830, 3930), the electronic device (e.g., 3800B, 3900B) causes (4020) a corresponding dynamic visual effect (e.g., an iridescence effect, a 3D effect) to be applied to (at least a portion of) the corresponding content element (e.g., 3831, 3931) that includes the respective content of the message (e.g., 3833, 3933) displayed in a corresponding message conversation (e.g., 3815, 3915) of a second device (e.g., 3800A, 3900A, the sender's device). Causing the corresponding dynamic visual effect to be applied to the corresponding content element provides visual feedback to the viewer that the message corresponds to a special type of message (e.g., a message sent by a first-party application controlled by the operating system of the device, as opposed to a third-party application) that is secure, thus enhancing the operability of the device and making the user-device interface more secure (e.g., by reducing fraud when operating/interacting with the device). In some examples, the electronic device transmits instructions to indicate to the second device that the gift message has been opened, such as by detecting user input on the concealment element.
In some embodiments, the respective content of the message (e.g., 3832, 3932) includes an amount of a first type of item (e.g., resources, points, funds, photos, files), and, in response to detecting (4016) the user input on the concealment element (e.g., 3830, 3930), the electronic device (e.g., 3800B, 3900B) adds (4022) the amount of the first type of item to an account (e.g., a resource account, a points account, a payment account, a photo gallery account, a storage account) provisioned on the electronic device (e.g., 3800B, 3900B), where the account is associated with (and, optionally, corresponds to) the first type of item.
In some embodiments, displaying, in the message conversation (e.g., 3814, 3914), the content element (e.g., 3830, 3930) that includes the respective content of the message (e.g., 3832, 3932) comprises displaying a dynamic graphical animation of the concealment element (e.g., 3822, 3922) revealing the content element. Displaying the dynamic graphical animation of the concealment element revealing the content element provides visual feedback by allowing the viewer to recognize that the gift corresponding to the concealment and content elements are being opened. 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.
In some examples, the concealment element (e.g., 3822, 3922) is a graphical depiction of an envelope, the content element (e.g., 3830, 3930) is a graphical depiction of a letter enclosed by the envelope, and the dynamic graphical animation is a graphical animation of the envelope opening and the enclosed letter (at least partially) leaving the envelope. In some examples, the concealment element (e.g., 3822, 3922) is a graphical depiction of a gift box, the content element (e.g., 3830, 3930) is a graphical depiction of a gift item wrapped by the gift box, and the dynamic graphical animation is a graphical animation of the gift box unwrapping to at least partially reveal the wrapped gift item inside the gift box.
In some embodiments, subsequent to displaying, in the message conversation (e.g., 3814, 3914), the content element (e.g., 3830, 3930) that includes the respective content of the message (e.g., 3832, 3932), the electronic device (e.g., 3800B, 3900B) detects (4024), via the one or more input devices, user selection (e.g., activation) of a replay affordance (e.g., 3836, 3936). In some embodiments, in response to detecting (4026) the user selection of the replay affordance (e.g., 3836, 3936), the electronic device (e.g., 3800B, 3900B) reverts (4028) the content element (e.g., 3830, 3930) to be concealed by the concealment element and re-display (4030) the dynamic graphical animation of the concealment element (e.g., 3822, 3922) revealing the content element (e.g., 3830, 3930).
In some embodiments, the dynamic graphical animation is controlled by a first-party (e.g., operating system-controlled) application of the device and is prevented from being controlled by a non-first-party (e.g., third-party) application of the device. The dynamic graphical animation being controlled by the first-party application of the device (and prevented from being controlled by a non-first-party application of the device) provides visual feedback to the viewer that the associated gift was sent using a first-party application that is secure, thus enhancing the operability of the device and making the user-device interface more secure (e.g., by reducing fraud when operating/interacting with the device).
In some embodiments, the concealment element (e.g., 3822, 3922) corresponds to a graphical representation of an envelope and the content element (e.g., 3830, 3930) corresponds to a graphical representation of a letter corresponding to the envelope. In some embodiments, the concealment element (e.g., 3822, 3922) corresponds to a graphical representation of a gift box (or a gift box wrapping) and the content element (e.g., 3830, 3930) corresponds to a graphical representation of a gift item within the gift box. In some embodiments, once the content element that includes the respective content of the message is displayed, the content element cannot be re-concealed by the concealment element.
In some embodiments, further in accordance with the determination that the message is the first type of message and is sent with instructions to initially conceal the respective content of the message (e.g., 3832, 3932), the electronic device (e.g., 3800B, 3900B) displays (4032), in the message conversation (e.g., 3814, 3914), an indication that the message has not been viewed (e.g., that the message has not yet been opened by the recipient). Displaying the indication that the message has not been viewed in accordance with the determination that the message is the first type of message and is sent with instructions to initially conceal the respective content of the message provides visual feedback of a current status of the message. 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. In some examples, in response to (and after) the message being displayed (e.g., viewed), the indication that the message has not been viewed ceases to be displayed.
Displaying the representation of the message (e.g., 3820, 3920) in the message conversation (e.g., 3814, 3914) includes, in accordance with a determination that the message is the first type of message and was not sent with instructions to initially conceal the respective content of the message (e.g., a payment message that is not a gift message), displaying (4010), in the message conversation (e.g., 3814, 3914), the respective content of the message with the dynamic visual effect that changes as an angle of the device relative to the reference point changes. Displaying, in the message conversation, the respective content of the message with the dynamic visual effect that changes as an angle of the device relative to the reference point changes provides visual feedback that the message corresponds to a special type of message (e.g., a message sent by a first-party application controlled by the operating system of the device, as opposed to a third-party application) that is secure, thus enhancing the operability of the device and making the user-device interface more secure (e.g., by reducing fraud when operating/interacting with the device).
In some embodiments, the first type of message corresponds to a payment of an amount (e.g., from a message participant to the user of the device) and the respective content of the message (e.g., 3932) includes the amount. In some examples, the respective content of the message corresponds to the amount of the payment.
Displaying the representation of the message in the message conversation (e.g., 3814, 3914) includes, in accordance with a determination that the message is a second type of message, displaying (4012), in the message conversation (e.g., 3814, 3914), the respective content of the message without the dynamic visual effect. Displaying, in the message conversation, the respective content of the message without the dynamic visual effect provides visual feedback indicating that the message is not associated with a special type of message (e.g., a message corresponding to a payment) that requires enhanced security. 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.
In some embodiments, the dynamic visual effect is controlled by a first-party (operating system-controlled) application of the device and non-first-party (e.g., third-party) application on the device are prevented from generating visual effects that have similar characteristics to the dynamic visual effects (e.g., applications running in a messaging environment are not provided with device orientation data that is necessary to create an iridescent effect that responds to changes as an angle of the device relative to the reference point changes, so as to prevent non-first-party applications from creating misleading animations that appear to correspond to payments or other secure data). The dynamic visual effect being controlled by the first-party application of the device (and prevented from being controlled by a non-first-party application of the device) provides visual feedback that the associated gift was sent using a first-party application that is secure, thus enhancing the operability of the device and making the user-device interface more secure (e.g., by reducing fraud when operating/interacting with the device).

Pool account creation user interface 4222 includes a plurality of regions corresponding to settings of the pool account that is being created. In some embodiments, as illustrated in
In some embodiments, not every pool participant is authorized to make a payment transaction using the pool account, and not every pool participant is authorized to make a contribution to the pool account. That is, in some embodiments, some (but not all) participants of the pool account are designated as authorized fund users and/or some (but not all) participants of the pool account are designated as authorized fund contributors. In some embodiments, pool account creation user interface 4222 also includes an authorized user region for separately selecting the users who are authorized to use the pool account to make a payment transaction (e.g., authorized fund users) once it has been created (e.g., if not all of the pool participants are to be authorized to use the pool account to make a payment transaction). In some embodiments, pool account creation user interface 4222 also includes a contributing user region for separately selecting the pool participants that are authorized to make contributions (e.g., authorized fund contributors) to the pool account.
In some embodiments, as also illustrated in
In some embodiments, the invited pool participants (e.g., as shown in participants region 4222E) is entered and/or selected manually by the user. In some embodiments, the invited pool participants are automatically (e.g., without user input) selected based on participants of the background group message conversation (e.g., group message conversation 4206). Thus, in
In some embodiments, in response to detecting that at least a portion (or all) of the settings have been entered and/or selected, electronic device 4200A displays in pool account creation user interface 4222 a create pool button 4225, as shown in
In some embodiments, in response to detecting user selection 4203 creating the pool account (e.g., the “Tahoe Trip” pool account), the requested contribution amount (e.g., in the amount of $50, as indicated by contribution region 4222D) is automatically withdrawn from an account associated with the user (Kate) and added to the pool account. In some embodiments, prior to adding the contribution amount from the user's (Kate's) account to the pool account, electronic device 4200A requests user authentication (e.g., via biometric authentication, such as fingerprint authentication, facial recognition authentication, iris/retina scan authentication or via password/passcode authentication), and the funds (e.g., in the amount of $50) are contributed form the user's account to the pool account if the requested authentication is successful.

In some embodiments, as shown in
In some embodiments, pool detail user interface 4252 also includes a transactions region 4254 showing one or more past transactions made using the pool account and/or contributions made to the pool account. For example,
In some embodiments, pool detail user interface 4252 also includes a balance indication 4256 indicating the amount of funds that are available for use in the pool account. For example, in
In some embodiments, pool detail user interface 4252 includes a view pools button 4260 (e.g., stating “View All Pools”) for viewing all of the pool accounts that the user of the device is currently a member. In
In
In some embodiments, once a pool account (e.g., the “Tahoe Trip” pool account) has been created, electronic device 4200A adds a graphical representation of the created pool account in a wallet application of the device and enables the pool account to be used for payment transactions via the wallet application.
In
Similarly, because Sarah is also now a member of the “Tahoe Trip” pool account along with Kate, electronic device 4200D (Sarah's Device) displays, in a wallet user interface 4268D of a corresponding wallet application, a first pool account object 4272D corresponding to the “Tahoe Trip” pool account (and corresponding to first pool account object 4272 of wallet user interface 4268 on Kate's Device) that can be selected and used to perform (and provide funds for) a payment transfer via the wallet application. Wallet user interface 4268D further includes a bank card object 4270D corresponding to a personal bank account of Sarah's that can be used to perform payment transactions via the wallet application on Sarah's Device. Wallet user interface 42685D further includes a second pool account object 4274D corresponding to a different pool account (e.g., a “Girl's Night Out” pool account) that Sarah is a member of (but none of Kate, John, nor Jane are a member of) that can be used to perform payment transactions via the wallet application on Sarah's Device.
In contrast to Kate and Sarah, John and Jane, while invited to join, have not yet joined the “Tahoe Trip” pool account. Electronic device 4200B (John's Device) displays, in a wallet user interface 4268B of a corresponding wallet application, a credit card object 4270B corresponding to a personal credit card account of John that can be used to perform payment transactions via the wallet application on John's Device, but does not include a pool account object corresponding to the “Tahoe Trip” pool account. Thus, John's Device cannot (yet) be used to perform a payment transaction via the wallet application using the “Tahoe Trip” pool account. Similarly, electronic device 4200C (Jane's Device) displays, in a wallet user interface 4268C of a corresponding wallet application, a bank card object 4270C corresponding to a personal credit card account of Jane that can be used to perform payment transactions via the wallet application on Jane's Device, but does not include a pool account object corresponding to the “Tahoe Trip” pool account. Thus, Jane's Device cannot (yet) be used to perform a payment transaction via the wallet application using the “Tahoe Trip” pool account.
While displaying wallet user interface 4268, in response to detecting a user selection (e.g., a tap gesture) on pool account object 4272, electronic device 4200A designated the pool account corresponding to pool account object 4272 (the “Tahoe Trip” pool account) for use in a payment transaction. In
In some embodiments, in response to detecting payment terminal 4276 with the pool account selected for use in the transaction, electronic device 4200A requests authentication (e.g., biometric authentication, such as fingerprint authentication, facial recognition authentication, iris/retina scan recognition, or passcode/password authentication) for proceeding with the payment transaction using funds from the pool account. In response to a determination that the authentication is successful, the electronic device proceeds with the payment transaction using funds from the pool account.
As described below, method 4300 provides an intuitive way for managing peer-to-peer transactions. The method reduces the cognitive burden on a user for managing peer-to-peer transactions, thereby creating a more efficient human-machine interface. For battery-operated computing devices, enabling a user to manage peer-to-peer transactions faster and more efficiently conserves power and increases the time between battery charges.
The electronic device (e.g., 4100A, 4200A) provisions (4316), using the secure element of the device, a group account (e.g., a pool account, an account that is accessible by different user accounts logged into different devices, where the account is a payment account, a resource account, a points account, an account holding photos, files) onto the electronic device. Provisioning the group account onto the device using the secure element of the device stores data associated with the group account within the secure element, thereby deterring fraudulent activity aimed at stealing data associated with the group account from the device. Deterring fraudulent activity aimed at stealing data from the device enhances the operability of the device and makes the user-device interface more secure (e.g., by reducing fraud when operating/interacting with the device). In some examples, the predetermined time period is manually set by the user of the device. In some examples, the electronic device (e.g., 4100, 4200) provisions the group account while displaying, on the display (e.g., 4102, 4202), a message conversation (e.g., 4106, 4206) of a messaging application having a plurality of participants (e.g., 4108, 4110, 4112, 4208, 4210, 4212).
In some embodiments, prior to provisioning the group account onto the electronic device, the electronic device (e.g., 4100A, 4200A) displays (4302), on the display (e.g., 4102, 4202), a message conversation (e.g., 4106, 4206) of the messaging application (e.g., 4104, 4204), where the message conversation (e.g., 4106, 4206) includes the plurality of participants (e.g., 4108, 4110, 4112, 4208, 4210, 4212). In some examples, the plurality of participants are participants of the message conversation (e.g., 4106, 4206). In some embodiments, provisioning the group account onto the electronic device (e.g., 4100A, 4200A) includes (automatically) associating (4306) the plurality of participants of the message conversation as members of the group account. Automatically associating the plurality of participants of the message conversation as members of the group account enables the user to bypass having to manually associate (e.g., select) participants as members of the group account. Performing an operation without requiring further user input 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 examples, a member of the group account is an authorized user of the items in the group account. In some examples, every member of the group account is an authorized user of the items in the group account.
In some embodiments, prior to provisioning the group account, the electronic device (e.g., 4100A, 4200A) displays (4302), on the display (e.g., 4102, 4202), the message conversation (e.g., 4106, 4206, of an instant message conversation). In some embodiments, while displaying the message conversation (e.g., 4106, 4206), the electronic device (e.g., 4100A, 4200A) detects (4304) user selection of a group account affordance (e.g., 4120, 4220). In some embodiments, in response to detecting the user selection of the group account affordance (e.g., 4120, 4220), the electronic device displays (4306), on the display (e.g., 4102, 4202), a group account creation user interface (e.g., 4122, 4222) for configuring (e.g., setting, applying) a plurality of parameters (e.g., 4122A-4122E, 4222A-4222E, a name associated with the group account, a graphical representation, such as an image, associated with the group account, participants of the group account, amount of the type of item to request to one or more participants of the group account, an expiration date of the group account) designated for the group account (.
In some embodiments, a first parameter (e.g., 4122A, 4222A) of the plurality of parameters (e.g., 4122A-4122E, 4222A-4222E) of the group account is a user-selected representative image of the group account. In some embodiments, a second parameter (e.g., 4122E, 4222E) of the plurality of parameters of the group account is participants of the group account. In some examples, the participants of the group account are manually selected by a user of the device (e.g., from a contacts list on the device). In some embodiments, the participants of the group account are automatically selected (4308) based on (or selected to be) the plurality of participants (e.g., 4108, 4110, 4112, 4208, 4210, 4212) of the message conversation (e.g., 4106, 4206).
In some embodiments, a third parameter of the plurality of parameters of the group account is a template of the group account comprising a plurality of templates. In some examples, a template includes a set of default account settings. In some examples, different template include different use restrictions. In some examples, an allowance structure is configured such that a user (e.g., first user) contributes to the group account and a different user (e.g., second user, without contributing) consumes/uses amounts from the group account.
In some embodiments, the electronic device (e.g., 4100A, 4200A) detects (4310) user selection of a template of the plurality of templates. In some embodiments, in response to detecting the user selection of the template, the electronic device (e.g., 4100A, 4200A), in accordance with a determination that the selected template is a first template, enables (4312) use of an amount of the type of item (only) by the first participant and prohibits use of an amount of the type of item by the second participant (and any other participants of the plurality of participants). Enabling use of the amount of the type of item (only) by the first participant and prohibiting use of the amount of the type of item by the second participant in accordance with the determination that the selected template is the first template provides the user with predetermined settings for the group account, thus enabling the user to bypass manually selecting certain settings of the group account. Performing an operation without requiring further user input 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, in response to detecting the user selection of the template, the electronic device (e.g., 4100A, 4200A), in accordance with a determination that the selected template is a second template, the electronic device enables (4314) use of an amount of the type of item by the first participant and by the second participant (and any other participants of the plurality of participants). Enabling use of the amount of the type of item by the first participant and by the second participant in accordance with the determination that the selected template is the second template provides the user with predetermined settings for the group account, thus enabling the user to bypass manually selecting certain settings of the group account. Performing an operation without requiring further user input 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.
The electronic device (e.g., 4100A, 4200A) transmits (4318), using the one or more wireless communication radios (e.g., via the message conversation), a request for an amount of a type of item (e.g., funds, resources, points, photos, files) to a plurality of participants (e.g., 4108, 4110, 4112, 4208, 4210, 4212) of a message conversation (e.g., 4106, 4206, an instant message conversation). Transmitting the request for the amount of the type of item to the plurality of participants of the message conversation enables the recipients to easily view and respond to the request. Reducing the number of inputs needed to perform an operation enhances the operability of the device 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 examples, the request includes an invitation to become a member of the group account. In some examples, the recipients of the invitation are automatically determined to be the members of the current message conversation.
In some embodiments, transmitting the request for the amount of the type of item to the plurality of participants (e.g., 4108, 4110, 4112, 4208, 4210, 4212) comprises causing display (4320), in a corresponding message conversation (e.g., 4106B, 4106C, 4106D, 4206B, 4206C, 4206C) of a second device (different from the electronic device), of an invitation message object (e.g., 4131, 4133, 4135, 4231, 4233, 4235) having an acceptance affordance (e.g., 4132B, 4132C, 4132D, 4232B, 4232C, 4232D) for responding to the request (by authorizing transmittal of the requested amount of the type of item) and becoming a member of the group account. Causing display of the invitation message object having the acceptance affordance provides visual feedback to the recipient(s) by indicating that the recipient(s) can join the group account via the invitation message object. 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. In some examples, the invitation message object includes the representative image of the group account. In some examples, the invitation message object includes a expiration date of the group account. In some examples, the invitation message object includes a valid time period of the group account.
Subsequent to provisioning (4322) the group account onto the electronic device (e.g., 4100A, 4200A) using the secure element of the device, the electronic device (e.g., 4100A, 4200A) adds (4324) an amount of a type of item (e.g., funds, resources, points, photos, files) received from a first participant of the plurality of participants (e.g., 4108, 4110, 4112, 4208, 4210, 4212) to the group account, and adds (4328) an amount of the type of item (e.g., funds, resources, points, photos, files) received from a second participant of the plurality of participants (e.g., 4108, 4110, 4112, 4208, 4210, 4212) to the group account.
In some embodiments, in response (or subsequent) to adding the amount of the type of item (e.g., funds, resources, points, photos, files) received from the first participant of the plurality of participants (e.g., 4108, 4110, 4112, 4208, 4210, 4212) to the group account, the electronic device (e.g., 4100, 4200) associates (4326) the first participant as a member of the group account. Associating the first participant as a member of the group account in response to adding the amount of the type of item received from the first participant enables the user to easily control which invited participant can become a member of the group 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 examples, a member of the group account is an authorized user of the items in the group account.
In some embodiments, the amount of the type of item received from the first participant is equal to the requested amount of the type of item, and the amount of the type of item received from the second participant is equal to the requested amount of the type of item.
In some embodiments, the amount of the type of item received from the first participant is different from the amount of the type of item received from the second participant. In some examples, the amount of the type of item received from the first participant is different from the requested amount of the type of item and the amount of the type of item received from the second participant is different from the requested amount of the type of item.
The electronic device (e.g., 4100A, 4200A) receives (4330) a request (e.g., via user input to the device, from a transaction terminal, such as a POS terminal, an NFC terminal, a contactless POS terminal) to transmit credentials (e.g., payment credentials, account information) of the group account.
In response to receiving the request to transmit credentials of the group account, the electronic device (e.g., 4100A, 4200A) receives (4332) authentication information (e.g., a passcode or biometric information detected via one or more sensor devices, such as fingerprint information, voice information, iris/retina information, facial feature information). In some examples, the electronic device requests authentication information in response to receiving the request to transmit credentials of the group account. In some examples, determining whether the received authentication information corresponds to enrolled authentication information. Requesting authentication information in response to the request to transmit credentials of the group account reduces the number of fraudulent transactions made using the group account. Reducing the number of fraudulent transitions enhances the operability of the device and makes the user-device interface more secure (e.g., by reducing fraud when operating/interacting with the device).
In accordance with a determination that the authentication information received at the device corresponds to enrolled authentication information (for authorizing transactions, enabled to authorize transactions), the electronic device (e.g., 4100A, 4200A) transmits (4334), via the one or more wireless communication radios, credentials (e.g., payment credentials, account information) of the group account (e.g., to the transaction terminal, to a remote server). In accordance with a determination that the authentication information received at the device does not correspond to enrolled authentication information, the electronic device (e.g., 4100, 4200) forgoes (4336) transmitting the credentials of the group account.
In some embodiments, the electronic device (e.g., 4100A, 4200A) displays (4338), on the display (e.g., 4102, 4202), a group account user interface (e.g., 4262), where the group account user interface (e.g., 4262) includes a first graphical representation (e.g., 4264) of the group account and a second graphical representation (e.g., 4266) of a second group account, different from the group account (that the user is also a member of), provisioned on the electronic device (e.g., 4100A, 4200A).
In some embodiments, the first graphical representation (e.g., 4264) of the group account includes the representative image (e.g., 4264C) of the group account, an indication of the participants (e.g., 4264D) of the group account, an indication of a valid time period (e.g., 4264B) of the group account, and an amount indication of available items in the group account. In some examples, the indication of the participants includes names of the participants, avatars of the participants, a member level (e.g., users authorized to make transactions using the group account and users not authorized to make transactions using the group account), and/or photos of the participants. In some examples, the valid time period of the account is determined based on the predetermined time period of the account, as described below with reference to
In some embodiments, the electronic device (e.g., 4100A, 4200A) displays (4340), on the display (e.g., 4102, 4202), a detail user interface (e.g., 4152, 4252) associated with the group account, where the detail user interface (e.g., 4152, 4252) includes an indication (e.g., 4154A, 4254A) of the adding of the amount of the type of item received from the first participant and an indication (e.g., 4154B, 4254B) of a use of an amount of the type of item (by a participant of the group account, such as the first participant). Displaying the detail user interface provides the user with visual feedback about information concerning the group 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.
In some embodiments, transmitting the request for the amount of the type of item to the plurality of participants (e.g., 4108, 4110, 4112, 4208, 4210, 4212) includes (4342) transmitting the request for an amount of the type of item to a third participant of the plurality of participants, and the electronic device (e.g., 4100A, 4200A), in accordance with a determination that the amount of the type of item requested to the third participant has not been received from the third participant, displays (4344), in the detail user interface (e.g., 4152, 4252), an indication (e.g., a textual indication stating “invited,” “pending,” “waiting”) that items have not been received from the third participant. Displaying, in the detail user interface, that the items have not been received from the third participant provides visual feedback to the user that the third participant has not yet become a member of the group 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. In some examples, if items have not been received form a participant, the participant is not yet a member of the group account.
In some embodiments, the electronic device (e.g., 4100A, 4200A) includes one or more input devices. In some embodiments, the electronic device (e.g., 4100A, 4200A) displays (4346), on the display (e.g., 4102, 4202), a user interface of an electronic wallet application (e.g., 4268) including a plurality of graphical representations of provisioned accounts (e.g., 4270, 4272, 4274), where the plurality of representations of provisioned accounts includes a first graphical representation of the group account (e.g., 4272). In some embodiments, the electronic device (e.g., 4100A, 4200A) detects (4348), via the one or more input devices, user selection of the first graphical representation of the group account (e.g., 4272). In some embodiments, in response detecting the user selection of the first graphical representation of the group account (e.g., 4272), the electronic device (e.g., 4100A, 4200A) displays (4350), on the display (e.g., 4102, 4202), a group account user interface, where the group account user interface includes a second graphical representation of the group account. In some examples, the second graphical representation of the group account is visually similar (or identical) to the first graphical representation of the group account. In some examples, in response to detecting user selection of the second graphical representation of the group account on the group account user interface, the user interface of the electronic wallet application is displayed.

Pool account creation user interface 4540 includes a plurality of regions corresponding to parameters (or settings) of the pool account that is being created. In some embodiments, as illustrated in
In some examples, participants region 4540E also includes an add participant button 4540 for adding or removing participants to invite to join the pool account. Thus, in some embodiments, the invited pool participants (e.g., as shown in participants region 4540E) can be entered and/or selected manually by the user. In some embodiments, the invited pool participants are automatically (e.g., without user input) selected based on participants of the background group message conversation (e.g., group message conversation 4530). Thus, in
In some embodiments, not every pool participant is authorized to make a payment transaction using the pool account, and not every pool participant is authorized to make a contribution to the pool account. That is, in some embodiments, some (but not all) participants of the pool account are designated as authorized fund users and/or some (but not all) participants of the pool account are designated as authorized fund contributors. In some embodiments, pool account creation user interface 4540 also includes a authorized user region for separately selecting the users who are authorized to use the pool account to make a payment transaction (e.g., authorized fund users) once it has been created (e.g., if not all of the pool participants are to be authorized to use the pool account to make a payment transaction). In some embodiments, pool account creation user interface 4540 also includes a contributing user region for separately selecting the pool participants that are authorized to make contributions (e.g., authorized fund contributors) to the pool account.

As described below, method 4600 provides an intuitive way for managing peer-to-peer transactions. The method reduces the cognitive burden on a user for managing peer-to-peer transactions, thereby creating a more efficient human-machine interface. For battery-operated computing devices, enabling a user to manage peer-to-peer transactions faster and more efficiently conserves power and increases the time between battery charges.
The electronic device (e.g., 4400A, 4500A) displays (4602), on the display (e.g., 4402, 4502), at least a portion of a message conversation (e.g., 4406, 4506, 4430, 4530) of a messaging application (e.g., 4404, 4504). Displaying at least the portion of the message conversation of the messaging application provides visual feedback by indicating that the displayed message conversation is currently active (e.g., being used) on 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/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 messaging application is a first-party application (e.g., an application that can only be controlled by the operating system of the device or is part of the operating system of the device, and cannot be controlled by a third-party application).
While displaying at least the portion of the message conversation (e e.g., 4406, 4506, 4430, 4530) of the messaging application (e.g., 4404, 4504), the electronic device (e.g., 4400A, 4500A) displays (4604), on the display (e.g., 4402, 4502), a first affordance (for opening a user interface for transferring funds, resources, points, photos, files) (e.g., 4416, 4516) that is associated with management of items of a first type (e.g., currency, photos, videos, printer credits). Displaying a first affordance that is associated with management of items of the first type provides visual feedback by enabling the user to quickly recognize that selecting the affordance will cause display of items 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 some examples, the first affordance is a selectable indication that automatically appears in a message object of the message conversation based on context information, as described with reference to indication 822 in
The electronic device (e.g., 4400A, 4500A) detects (4606), via the one or more input devices, a user activation of the first affordance (e.g., 4416, 4516) (e.g., a tap gesture on the first affordance). In some embodiments, the items of the first type are funds (e.g., dollars, euros) and the shared item management account is a shared group payment account (e.g., a payment account to which each of the participants in the group payment account is enabled to make payments and/or contributions).
In response to (or subsequent to) detecting (4608) the user activation of the first affordance (e.g., 4416, 4516), the electronic device (e.g., 4400A, 4500A), in accordance with a determination that the message conversation is a group message conversation (e.g., 4430, 4530) that includes more than two participants (e.g., the user of the device and at least two other participants) (e.g., 4408, 4432, 4434, 4508, 4532, 4534), displays (4610), on the display (e.g., 4402, 4502), a first user interface (e.g., 4440, 4540) for setting up a shared item management account for managing items of the first type with participants in the message conversation. Automatically displaying the first user interface for setting up a shared item management account for managing items of the first type with participants in the message conversation in accordance with the determination that the message conversation is a group conversation enables the user to access the first user interface more quickly (e.g., with fewer inputs). Performing an operation without requiring further user input 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 examples, the first user interface enables the user to create a group account, as described with reference to pool account creation user interface 4222 of
In some embodiments, while displaying the first user interface (e.g., 4440, 4540), the electronic device (e.g., 4400A, 4500A) (automatically) displays (4614), on the first user interface (e.g., 4440, 4540), at least one invitee of a plurality of invitees of the shared item management account, where the plurality of invitees to the shared item management account correspond to the more than two participants (e.g., 4408, 4432, 4434, 4508, 4532, 4534) of the group message conversation (e.g., 4430, 4530). Automatically displaying, on the first user interface, at least one invitee of the plurality of invitees of the shared item management account while displaying the first user interface enables the user to bypass having to manually select invitees of the shared item management account. Performing an operation without requiring further user input 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, subsequent to displaying (4616) the first user interface (e.g., 4440, 4540), the electronic device (e.g., 4400A, 4500A) detects (4618), via the one or more input devices, user selection of a contact (e.g., a contact from a contacts list stored on the device or accessible by the device, such as including a phone number, an email address, or the like) and displays (4620), on the first user interface (e.g., 4440, 4540), at least one invitee of a plurality of invitees of the shared item management account, where the plurality of invitees includes the selected contact.
In some embodiments, subsequent to displaying (4616) the first user interface (e.g., 4440, 4540), the electronic device (e.g., 4400A, 4500A) detects (4622), via the one or more input devices, user selection of an image (e.g., 4546A, from a photo gallery stored on the device or accessible by the device, from a list of available default images) and designates (4624) the selected image (e.g., 4546A) as a representative image of the shared item management account.
In some embodiments, subsequent to displaying (4616) the first user interface, the electronic device (e.g., 4400A, 4500A) detects (4626), via the one or more input devices, user selection of a first time (e.g., a specific date) and a second time (e.g., a specific later date) and designates (4628) an active time period of the shared item management account to be the time period between the first time and the second time. Designating an active time period of the shared item management account to be the time period between the first time and the second time reduces the likelihood of fraudulent transfers made using the shared item management account (e.g., by limiting the time during which the account can be used). Reducing the likelihood of fraudulent transfers enhances the operability of the device and makes the user-device interface more secure (e.g., by reducing fraud when operating/interacting with the device). In some examples, the default first time is the current time. In some examples, the shared item management account expires (and thus can no longer be used) after when the second time passes. In some examples, the shared item management account is not yet active (and thus cannot yet be used) before the first date.
In some embodiments, subsequent to displaying (4616) the first user interface (e.g., 4440, 4540), the electronic device (e.g., 4400A, 4500A) detects (4630), via the one or more input devices, user selection of an item amount (e.g., an amount of funds, an amount of resources, an amount of credit, a number of photos, a number of files) and transmits (4632) (via a wireless communication radio of the device) a request for items of the item amount to a first participant of the participants of the message conversation (e.g., 4408, 4432, 4434, 4508, 4532, 4534).
In some embodiments, subsequent to displaying (4616) the first user interface (e.g., 4440, 4540), the electronic device (e.g., 4400A, 4500A) detects (4634), via the one or more input devices, user input (e.g., textual input) providing a title to the shared item management account and designates (4636) the inputted title as a representative title (or representative name) of the shared item management account.
In some embodiments, subsequent to displaying (4616) the first user interface (e.g., 4440, 4540), the electronic device (e.g., 4400A, 4500A) detects (4638), via the one or more input devices, user input (e.g., textual input) providing a comment associated with the shared item management account and displays (4640), in the message conversation (e.g., 4430, 4530), a first message object (e.g., an invitation message object) corresponding to an invitation to join the shared item management account (e.g., a message object with a “join” affordance) and a second message object (e.g., a regular text message object) that includes the comment associated with the shared item management account.
In response to detecting (4608) the user activation of the first affordance (e.g., 4416, 4516), the electronic device (e.g., 4400A, 4500A), in accordance with a determination that the message conversation is a one-on-one message conversation (e.g., 4406, 4506) that includes (exactly) two participants (e.g., the user of the device and one other participant), displays (4612), on the display (e.g., 4402, 4502), a second user interface (e.g., 4418, 4518) different from the first user interface for sending or requesting items of the first type from another participant in the message conversation (e.g., 4406, 4506) without setting up the shared item management account for managing items of the first type. Automatically) displaying the second user interface for sending or requesting items of the first type from another participant in the message conversation without setting up the shared item management account for managing items of the first type in accordance with the determination that the message conversation is a one-on-one message conversation enables the user to access the second user interface more quickly (e.g., with fewer inputs). Performing an operation without requiring further user input 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 examples, the second user interface (e.g., 4418, 4518) is a transfer user interface for sending or requesting funds, resources, points, photos, and/or files, as described with reference to

While displaying accounts user interface 4752 with the “Group Storage” pool account selected for usage, electronic device 4700A detects (e.g., via a mechanical input button of the device) a user input 4705 (e.g., a fingerprint input) corresponding to the authentication requested by authenticating instruction 4761 (e.g., fingerprint authentication).
Subsequent to a determination that the authentication was successful (e.g., because the input was consistent with an enrolled authentication information, such as an enrolled fingerprint of the user), electronic device 4700A detects (e.g., via a wireless communication radio of the device) a digital content terminal 4762 (e.g., a near-field-communication digital content terminal, a point-of-sale digital content terminal) for downloading digital content (e.g., a video file). In some embodiments, upon using the pool account (e.g., the “Group Storage” pool account) to perform a digital transfer (e.g., with digital content terminal 4762), the digital content is automatically transmitted from its source (e.g., a server communicating with digital content terminal 4762) to a server holding the storage space of the pool account.

If the current time is outside of the valid time period of the pool account, the pool account cannot be used to make a purchase (and, in some embodiments, also cannot accept contributions). Thus, in response to detecting payment terminal 4862 on July 11, electronic device 4800A does not authorize the purchase and displays a expired notification 4864 (e.g., stating “Pool Expired”) indicating that the pool account (the “Tahoe Trip” pool account) cannot be used to make the purchase because the pool account has expired, as shown in
In some embodiments, in response to or subsequent to the expiration of the pool account, any remaining funds, if greater than zero, are (automatically) distributed to the (joined) participants of the pool account. For example, if the user (Kate), message participant 4808 (John), message participant 4810 (Jane), and message participant 4812 (Sarah) are all joined participants of the “Tahoe Trip” pool account, and if there are $44 in funds remaining in the pool account once it expires (e.g., because the valid time period of the pool account has passed), electronic device 4800A (automatically) causes the remaining funds to be divided (e.g., evenly divided or proportionally divided based on each participant's contributions to the account) and transmitted to a personal account of each participant.

As described below, method 4900 provides an intuitive way for managing peer-to-peer transactions. The method reduces the cognitive burden on a user for managing peer-to-peer transactions, thereby creating a more efficient human-machine interface. For battery-operated computing devices, enabling a user to manage peer-to-peer transactions faster and more efficiently conserves power and increases the time between battery charges.
The electronic device (e.g., 4700A, 4800A) provisions (4908) (e.g., adding to, storing in), using the secure element of the device, a (temporary) group account (e.g., a pool account, an account that is accessible by different user accounts logged into different devices, where the account is a payment account, a resource account, a points account, an account holding photos, files) onto the electronic device, where the group account is associated with items of a first type (e.g., funds, resources, points, photos, files) received from a plurality of participants (e.g., 4708, 4710, 4712, 4808, 4810, 4812) associated with the group account (e.g., one or more members of the pool account, one or more participants of a message conversation), and where the group account is configured to expire after a predetermined time period (e.g., a pre-set date range). Provisioning a group account onto the device using the secure element of the device stores data associated with the group account within the secure element, thereby deterring fraudulent activity aimed at stealing data associated with the group account from the device. Deterring fraudulent activity aimed at stealing data from the device enhances the operability of the device and makes the user-device interface more secure (e.g., by reducing fraud when operating/interacting with the device). In some examples, the predetermined time period is manually set by the user of the device.
In some embodiments, the participants in the group account were selected (4910) based on the participants in a message conversation (e.g., 4706, 4806) that was used to create the group (e.g., an invitation to join the group was created from within a group conversation of the messaging user interface that includes the participants). Selecting the participants in the group based on the participants in the message conversation that was used to create the group enables the user to bypass having to manually select participants in the group (e.g., from a list of contacts). Performing an operation without requiring further user input 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 predetermined time period is (4912) at least a first time period (e.g., a minimum time period, one hour, one day, 24 hours) and not longer than a second time period (e.g., a maximum time period, one year), and the second time period is longer than the first time period. In some examples, the first time period and the second time period are pre-configured by the operating system of the device and cannot be changed by the user of the device or by a third-party application.
In some embodiments, the items of the first type are photos. In some embodiments, the items of the first type are printer credits (or printer points, printer resources). In some embodiments, where the items of the first type are computing resources (e.g., data storage, CPU cycles). the items of the first type are funds (e.g., dollars, euros).
In some embodiments, the electronic device (e.g., 4700A, 4800A) includes one or more input devices and, prior to provisioning the group account onto the electronic device, the electronic device (e.g., 4700A, 4800A) displays (4902), on the display (e.g., 4702, 4802), a message conversation (e.g., 4706, 4806) of a messaging application (e.g., 4704, 4804), where participants of the message conversation (e.g., 4708, 4710, 4712, 4808, 4810, 4812) correspond to the plurality of participants associated with the group account. In some embodiments, the electronic device (e.g., 4700A, 4800A) detects (4904), via the one or more input devices, user activation of a user interface (e.g., 4740, 4840) for configuring the group account (where the plurality of participants are automatically pre-selected to be participants of the group account). In some embodiments, the electronic device (e.g., 4700A, 4800A) detects (4906), via the one or more input devices, user selection of a confirmation affordance associated with the user interface (e.g., 4740, 4840) for configuring the group account and, in response to detecting the user selection of the confirmation affordance, provisions (4908) the group account onto the electronic device (e.g., storing information about the group account that can be used to conduct transactions such as transferring funds to or from the group account in a secure element of the device where authentication from the user such as biometric, password, or passcode authentication is required to access the information).
In some embodiments, subsequent to provisioning the group account onto the electronic device, the electronic device (e.g., 4700A, 4800A) detects (4914), via the one or more input devices, user selection of a second predetermined time period (e.g., a different pre-set date range) different from the predetermined time period. In some embodiments, in response to detecting the user selection of the second predetermined time period, re-configures (4916) the group account to expire after the second predetermined time period (instead of the original predetermined time period).
Before the group account has expired, the electronic device (e.g., 4700A, 4800A) uses (4918) a first subset of the items of the first type by transferring the items of the first type out of the group account.
In some embodiments, the electronic device (e.g., 4700A, 4800A) includes a wireless communication radio (e.g., for WiFi, Bluetooth, near-field-communication (NFC) connections). In some embodiments, prior to determining (4920) that the group account has expired, the electronic device (e.g., 4700A, 4800A) receives (4922), via the wireless communication radio, a request for account credentials (e.g., payment credentials) from a second device (e.g., 4762, 4862, a transaction terminal, a NFC terminal, a POS terminal) to proceed with a transfer (e.g., to proceed with a payment transaction), where the request is associated with a transfer of a second subset of the items of the first type. In some embodiments, in accordance with a determination (4924) that authorization (for proceeding with a transaction) has been provided for the transfer (e.g., authorization via biometric authentication, authorization via passcode authentication), the electronic device (e.g., 4700A, 4800A) transmits (4926), via the wireless communication radio, account credentials of the group account to the second device (e.g., 4762, 4862) and uses (4928) the second subset of the items of the first type by transferring the items of the first type out of the group account. Transmitting account credentials of the group account to the second device and using the second subset of the items of the first type in accordance with the determination that authorization has been provided for the transfer reduces the number of fraudulent (e.g., unauthorized) transfers made using the group account on the device. Reducing the number of fraudulent transfers enhances the operability of the device and makes the user-device interface more secure (e.g., by reducing fraud when operating/interacting with the device).
In some embodiments, the electronic device (e.g., 4700A, 4800A) includes one or more input devices. In some embodiments, prior to determining (4920) that the group account has expired, the electronic device (e.g., 4700A, 4800A) displays (4930), on the display (e.g., 4702, 4802), a transaction user interface (for proceeding with an online transfer, an online transaction). In some embodiments, the electronic device (e.g., 4700A, 4800A) detects (4932), via the one or more input devices, user selection of a confirmation affordance for transferring a third subset of the items of the first type. In some embodiments, in response to detecting the user selection of the confirmation affordance, in accordance with a determination that authorization (e.g., for proceeding with the online transfer, online transaction) has been provided for the transfer (e.g., authorization via biometric authentication, authorization via passcode authentication), uses (4934) the third subset of the items of the first type by transferring the items of the first type out of the group account (e.g., making a payment using the group account). Using the third subset of the items of the first type by transferring the items of the first type out of the group account in accordance with the determination that authorization has been provided for the transfer reduces the number of fraudulent (e.g., unauthorized) transfers made using the group account on the device. Reducing the number of fraudulent transfers enhances the operability of the device and makes the user-device interface more secure (e.g., by reducing fraud when operating/interacting with the device).
In some embodiments, determining that authorization has been provided for the transfer (e.g., of a payment, of resources, of credits) comprises the electronic device (e.g., 4700A, 4800A) displaying, on the display (e.g., 4702, 4802), a request for authentication information (e.g., 4761, 4861, biometric authentication information, such as fingerprint information, voice input information, iris/retina scan information, and/or facial recognition information, passcode authentication information, pattern authentication information) for authorizing the transfer, receiving authentication information (from the user of the device) corresponding to the request, and, in accordance with a determination that the received authentication is consistent with enrolled authentication information (e.g., enrolled biometric authentication information, such as fingerprint information, voice input information, iris/retina scan information, and/or facial recognition information, enrolled passcode authentication information, enrolled pattern authentication information) for authorizing transfers, providing authorization for the transfer. Requesting authentication information for authorizing the transfer and providing authorization for the transfer in accordance with the determination that the received authentication information is consistent with enrolled authentication information reduces the number of fraudulent (e.g., unauthorized) transfers made using the group account on the device. Reducing the number of fraudulent transfers enhances the operability of the device and makes the user-device interface more secure (e.g., by reducing fraud when operating/interacting with the device).
In some embodiments, the electronic device (e.g., 4700A, 4800A) includes a wireless communication radio (e.g., for WiFi, Bluetooth, near-field-communication (NFC) connections) and, prior to determining that the group account has expired, the electronic device (e.g., 4700A, 4800A) receives (4936), via the wireless communication radio, information of a transfer (e.g., a payment transaction, a transfer of photos, credits, or points) made using the items of the first type of the group account by a second device (e.g., a device of participant, other than the user of the electronic device, associated with the group account) different from the electronic device. In some embodiments, subsequent to receiving the information of the transfer made using the items of the first type of the group account by the second device, the electronic device (e.g., 4700A, 4800A) displays (4938), on the display (e.g., 4702, 4802), a transfer history list (e.g., 4869, a record of transfers made using the group account by any participant associated with the group account) including the information of the transfer. Displaying a transfer history list subsequent to receiving the information of the transfer made using the items of the first type of the group account by the second device provides the user with easily accessible feedback about other transfers made using the group 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/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.
After using at least the first subset of the items of the first type, the electronic device (e.g., 4700A, 4800A) determines (4940) that the group account has expired.
In response to determining (4942) that the group account has expired (e.g., and subsequent to the passing of the predetermined time period), in accordance with a determination that the group account is associated with a first amount of the first type of item that is greater than zero (e.g., in accordance with a determination that there are remaining funds in the group account, such as a pool account), the electronic device (e.g., 4700A, 4800A) (automatically) causes transfer (4944) (e.g., to a default account of an intended recipient) of the items of the first type that are associated with the group account divided among the plurality of participants associated with the group account, including a first participant of the plurality of participants associated with the group account and a second participant of the plurality of participants associated with the group account. Automatically causing transfer of the items of the first type in response to determining that the group account has expired enables the user to bypass having to manually retrieve the transfer of the items from the group account. Performing an operation without requiring further user input 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 response to determining (4942) that the group account has expired (e.g., and subsequent to the passing of the predetermined time period), in accordance with a determination that the group account is associated with a second amount of the first type of item that is greater than zero and is different from the first amount (e.g., in accordance with a determination that there are remaining funds in the group account, such as a pool account), the electronic device (e.g., 4700A, 4800A) (automatically) causes transfer (4946) (e.g., to a default account of an intended recipient) of the items of the first type that are associated with the group account divided among the plurality of participants (e.g., the user, 4708, 4710, 4712, 4808, 4810, 4812) associated with the group account, including the first participant of the plurality of participants associated with the group account and the second participant of the plurality of participants associated with the group account. Automatically causing transfer of the items of the first type in response to determining that the group account has expired enables the user to bypass having to manually retrieve the transfer of the items from the group account. Performing an operation without requiring further user input 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, dividing the items of the first type among the plurality of participants (e.g., the user, 4708, 4710, 4712, 4808, 4810, 4812) associated with the group comprises (e.g., substantially) equally dividing (4956) the items of the first type based on the number of the plurality of the participants. For example, the amount of items of the first type transferred to the first participant is equal to the amount of items of the first type transferred to the second participant (and to all other participants of the plurality of participants).
In some embodiments, dividing the items of the first type among the plurality of participants (e.g., the user, 4708, 4710, 4712, 4808, 4810, 4812) associated with the group comprises proportionally dividing (4958) the items of the first type based on amount contributions of items of the first type made to the group account by the plurality of the participants. For example, prior to the expiration of the group account, if the second participant added twice the amount of items of the first type to the group account than did the first participant, the second participant receives twice the amount of items of the first type out of the group account upon expiration of the group account than does the first participant.
In some embodiments, causing transfer of the items of the first type that are associated with the group account divided among the plurality of participants (e.g., the user, 4708, 4710, 4712, 4808, 4810, 4812) associated with the group does not include a third participant of the plurality of participants. In some embodiments, the first participant contributed items of the first type to the group account, the second participant contributed items of the first type to the group account, and the third participant did not contribute items of the first type to the group account.
In some embodiments, further in response to determining (4948) that the group account has expired, in accordance with a determination that the first amount is equal to zero (e.g., in accordance with a determination that there are no remaining funds in the group account), the electronic device (e.g., 4700A, 4800A) forgoes causing transfer (4950) (e.g., to a default account of an intended recipient) of the items of the first type that are associated with the group account and disables (4952) (e.g., removing or de-provisioning), using the secure element of the electronic device, the group account from the electronic device (e.g., deleting some or all data associated with the group account from the secure element of the device). Automatically disabling, using the secure element of the device, the group account from the device in response to determining that the group account has expired reduces the likelihood of impermissible access to data associated with the group account. Reducing the likelihood of impermissible access enhances the operability of the device and makes the user-device interface more secure (e.g., by reducing fraud when operating/interacting with the device). Further, (automatically) disabling, using the secure element of the device, the group account from the device in response to determining that the group account has expired enables the user to bypass having to manually remove the group account from the device. Performing an operation without requiring further user input 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 group account is de-provisioned, removed, or disabled from devices of all of the participants in the group, or all of the participants in the group other than an organizer of the group account.
In some embodiments, further in response to determining that the group account has expired, the electronic device (e.g., 4700A, 4800A) causes (4954) a representation of the group account stored in a wallet application of the device to be removed from the wallet application (e.g., automatically, without further user input). Removing the representation of the group account stored in the wallet application of the device in response to determining that the group account has expired provides visual feedback to the user that the group account can no longer be used to perform transactions. 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 electronic device (e.g., 4700A, 4800A) displays (4960), on the display (e.g., 4702, 4802), a message object (e.g., 4714, 4814) corresponding to the group account in a message conversation (e.g., 4706, 4806) of a messaging application (e.g., 4704, 4804, an instant messaging application controlled by the operating system of the device), where the message object includes a representation of (at least) the first participant (of the plurality of participants). In some examples, the message object also includes a graphical representation of the second participant. In some examples, the message object includes graphical representations of all of the participants associated with the group account.
In some embodiments, in accordance with a determination that the first participant is a first type of user of the group account, the electronic device (e.g., 4700A, 4800A) displays (4962) a first type of graphical indication associated with the representation of the first participant (e.g., a graphical indication indicating that the first participant is enabled to make payments with the group account). Displaying the first type of graphical indication associated with the representation of the first participant in accordance with the determination that the first participant is the first type of user of the group account provides visual feedback to the user that the first participant is the first type of user of the group 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/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 first participant is a second type of user of the group account different from the first type of user, the electronic device (e.g., 4700A, 4800A) displays (4964) a second type of graphical indication associated with the representation of the second participant different from the first type of graphical indication (e.g., a graphical indication indicating that the second participant is not enabled to make payments with the group account). For example, for a group payment account for a sport team, the coach is enabled to spend money from the group payment account, while parents are enabled to contribute money to the group payment account but are not enabled to spend money from the group payment account. Displaying the second type of graphical indication associated with the representation of the second participant different from the first type of graphical indication in accordance with the determination that the first participant is the second type of user of the group account different from the first type of user provides visual feedback to the user that the first participant is the second type of user of the group 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/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 (similar to payment request object 1144), transfer message object 5050 includes a transfer amount indication 5050A (e.g., stating “$28 Request”) indicating that the message object relates to a transfer request made by the first message participant, a mode indication 5050B (e.g., stating “PAY”) that transfer message object 5050 corresponds to a transfer request made via an operating-system controlled transfer application (and not by a third-party transfer application), and a status indicator 5050C indicating the status of the transfer request (e.g., “Pending,” “Paid,” “Expired”). In some embodiments, (similar to payment request object 1144), transfer message object 5050 includes an accept affordance 5052 for accepting the transfer request (e.g., agreeing to pay the requested amount of the payment request, $28, to the first message participant). In some embodiments, message conversation 5048 also includes a note message object 5054 corresponding to a comment received from the first message participant regarding the payment request (e.g., stating a reason for making the payment request).

In response to receiving the requested authentication (and after determining that the authentication is successful), electronic device 5000 proceeds with the transfer operation (e.g., a payment of $28 to John via the messaging application) using the first-party transfer account. As a result of the transfer operation, the balance of the first-party transfer account is reduced by the amount used for the transfer operation (e.g., reduced from $30 to $2 as a result of a payment of $28 to John). Further, electronic device 5000 displays, in transfer sheet 5058, a transfer success indication 5096 (e.g., in place of authentication request 5066) indicating that the transfer operation using the first-party transfer account was successfully completed, as shown in

As described below, method 5100 provides an intuitive way for managing balance notifications. The method reduces the cognitive burden on a user for managing balances, thereby creating a more efficient human-machine interface. For battery-operated computing devices, enabling a user to manage balances faster and more efficiently conserves power and increases the time between battery charges.
The electronic device (e.g., 5000) receives (5104), via the one or more input devices, a request to perform an operation associated with a first transfer account (e.g., the first-party transfer account associated with representation 5012). In some embodiments, the first transfer account is associated with a type of items (e.g., points, credits, resources, funds). In some embodiments, the operation is a transfer of items (e.g., points, credits, resources, funds) associated with the first transfer account from the first transfer account (to a different account). In some embodiments, the request is an input that causes the electronic device to display a user interface of a transfer application (e.g., an electronic wallet application), where the first transfer account is set as the account to be used in a transfer operation/transaction (e.g., the first transfer account is “armed”). In some embodiments, the request is an input (e.g., 5011) that causes the electronic device to display a transfer sheet (e.g. 5058, a payment sheet) that at least partially covers the user interface (e.g., 5046) of the application that was being displayed (e.g., a non-transfer application).
In some embodiments, prior to receiving the request to perform an operation associated with a first transfer account (e.g., the first-party transfer account associated with representation 5012), the electronic device (e.g., 5000) displays (5102) a user interface (e.g., a checkout page) of a first application (e.g., a browser application, a merchant application), where the balance threshold corresponds to a requested transfer amount (e.g., a purchase price) detected based on (information displayed in the user interface of) the first application. In some embodiments, the electronic device detects the requested transfer amount (e.g., a purchase price) based on (information displayed in the user interface of) the first application. Detecting the requested transfer amount based on the first application enables the user to easily and quickly proceed with a transfer operation without having to manually provide the requested transfer amount. 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 operation associated with the first transfer account (e.g., the first-party transfer account associated with representation 5012) is setting the first transfer account to be ready for use in a transfer operation (e.g., a payment transaction) while the electronic device (e.g., 5000) has not (yet) determined a requested transfer amount (e.g., purchase price) of the transfer operation (e.g., the requested transfer amount is unknown to the electronic device when the first transfer account is set to be ready for use in the transfer operation). In some embodiments, prior to setting the first transfer account to be ready for use in the transfer operation, the electronic device does not transmit credentials (e.g., account credentials needed to perform a transaction, such as a payment transaction) of the first transfer account to a second electronic device (e.g., 5014, a contactless transaction terminal) upon detecting presence of a field generated by the second electronic device (and after having received authentication to transmit the credentials to the second electronic device). In some embodiments, subsequent to setting the first transfer account to be ready for use in the transfer operation, the electronic device transmits (e.g., via a wireless communication radio of the electronic device) the credentials of the first transfer account to the second electronic device upon detecting presence of the field generated by the second electronic device (and after having received authentication to transmit the credentials to the second electronic device). In some embodiments, the electronic device sets the first transfer account to be ready for use in a transfer operation when a transfer application (e.g., a payment application, an electronic wallet application) is launched (e.g., because the first transfer account is set as the default account). In some embodiments, the electronic device sets the first transfer account to be ready for use in a transfer operation when, after the transfer application is launched, the electronic device detects selection of the first transfer account (e.g., from one or more other available transfer accounts) for use in the transfer operation instead of a default transfer account that is not the first transfer account. In some embodiments, subsequent to setting the first transfer account to be ready for use in the transfer operation, the electronic device determines the requested transfer amount via communication with a second electronic device (e.g., a transaction terminal) using a wireless communication radio (e.g., for NFC communication) of the electronic device. In some embodiments, the electronic device has not determined the requested transfer amount prior to setting the first transfer account to be ready for use in the transfer operation.
In some embodiments, the operation associated with the first transfer account is setting the first transfer account to be ready for use in a transfer operation (e.g., a payment transaction) after the electronic device (e.g., 5000) has determined a requested transfer amount (e.g., purchase price) of the transfer operation (e.g., the requested transfer amount is known to the electronic device when the first transfer account is set to be ready for use in the transfer operation). In some embodiments, prior to receiving the request to perform an operation associated with a first transfer account, the electronic device is displaying, on the display (e.g., 5002), a user interface (e.g., 5046) of a first application (e.g., a messaging application, a browser application, a merchant application), and the electronic device detects the requested transfer amount (e.g., a requested payment amount, a purchase price) based on (information displayed in the user interface of, such as from transfer message object 5050) the first application. In some embodiments, the first transfer account is set to be ready for use in the transfer operation when the electronic device launches and displays a transfer application (e.g., a payment sheet) over a portion of the user interface of the first application (e.g., because the first transfer account is set as the default account). In some embodiments, the first transfer account is set to be ready for use in the transfer operation when, while displaying a transfer application (e.g., a payment sheet) over a portion of the displayed user interface of the first application (e.g., because the first transfer account is set as the default account), the electronic device detects selection of the first transfer account from a plurality of available transfer accounts displayed by the transfer application.
In response to receiving (5106) the request to perform the operation associated with the first transfer account (e.g., the first-party transfer account associated with representation 5012), in accordance with a determination (5108) that a balance of the first transfer account is below a balance threshold, the electronic device (e.g., 5000) concurrently displays (5110), on the display (e.g., 5002), the representation of the first transfer account (e.g., 5012) with an insufficient balance notification (e.g. 5026, 5086A, 5086B). Displaying the representation of the first transfer account with an insufficient balance notification in accordance with the determination that a balance of the first transfer account is below a balance threshold improves feedback by enabling the user to quickly and easily recognize that the balance of the first transfer of low and thus may be insufficient to perform a transfer operation. 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, in accordance with the determination that a balance of the first transfer account is below the balance threshold (e.g., zero, a pre-determined amount), the electronic device also provides a haptic feedback (e.g., 5030). Providing a haptic feedback in accordance with the determination that a balance of the first transfer account is below the balance threshold improves feedback by enabling the user to recognize that the balance of the first transfer account may be insufficient without having to view the display of the device, which 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 detects (5112), via the one or more input devices, an activation (e.g., 5017) of the insufficient balance notification (e.g., 5026, 5086A, 5086B). In some embodiments, in response to detecting the activation of the insufficient balance notification, the electronic device concurrently displays (5114), on the display (e.g., 5002), representations of one or more available transfers accounts (e.g., transfer accounts, such as a points card, loyalty card, credit card, pre-funded card, transit card, debit card, provisioned on the electronic device), including a representation of the first transfer account, and an add balance affordance (e.g., below the representation of the first transfer account). In some embodiments, the electronic device detects (5116), via the one or more input devices, an activation of the add balance affordance. In some embodiments, in response to detecting the activation of the add balance affordance, the electronic device displays (5118), on the display, an add balance user interface for adding balance to the first transfer account. In some embodiments, the add balance user interface corresponds to a user interface for adding items (e.g., points, credits, resources, funds) to a transfer account, such as a stored-value account.
In some embodiments, in accordance with the determination (5108) that the balance of the first transfer account (e.g., the first-party transfer account associated with representation 5012) is below the balance threshold, the electronic device (e.g., 5000) transmits (5120) (e.g., via a wireless communication radio of the electronic device) credentials of the first transfer account and credentials of a second transfer account (e.g., the third-party transfer account associated with representation 5008, a bank account, a credit card account) different from the first transfer account to a second electronic device (e.g., 5014, a payment terminal, an external server) for use in a transfer operation (e.g., of points, credits, resources, or funds from the first transfer account to a different account).
In some embodiments, in accordance with the determination (5108) that the balance of the first transfer account (e.g., the first-party transfer account associated with representation 5012) is below the balance threshold, the electronic device (e.g., 5000) displays (5122), on the display (e.g., 5002) (e.g., below the insufficient balance notification), an add balance affordance (e.g., 5028, 5088, for adding points, credits, resources, or funds to the first transfer account). Displaying an add balance affordance in accordance with the determination that the balance of the first transfer account is below the balance threshold enables a user to quickly and easily manage the balance of the account without having to manually navigate to a user interface for managing the balance of the 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 add balance affordance includes an indication (e.g., text stating “Add Money to Card”) informing the user that items (e.g., points, credits, resources, funds) can be added to the first transfer account. In some embodiments, the indication replaces/is displayed in place of an indication (e.g., text stating “Card Ready”) informing the user that the transfer account is ready for use in a transfer operation (e.g., a payment transaction), where the indication informing the user that the transfer account is ready for use is displayed when the balance of the transfer account is equal to or above the balance threshold. In some embodiments, the electronic device detects (5124), via the one or more input devices, an activation (e.g., 5009, 5019) of the add balance affordance. In some embodiments, in response to detecting the activation of the add balance affordance, the electronic device displays (5126), on the display, an add balance user interface (e.g., 5032) for adding balance to the first transfer account. In some embodiments, the add balance user interface corresponds to a user interface for adding items (e.g., points, credits, resources, funds) to a transfer account, such as a stored-value account.
In some embodiments, in accordance with the determination (5108) that the balance of the first transfer account (e.g., the first-party transfer account associated with representation 5012) is below the balance threshold, the electronic device (e.g., 5000) displays (5128), on the display (e.g., 5002), an indication (e.g., 5072) that a second transfer account different from the first payment account can be used for a transfer operation (e.g., a payment transaction). Displaying an indication that a second transfer account different from the first payment account can be used for a transfer operation in accordance with the determination that the balance of the first transfer account is below the balance threshold improves usability of the device by enabling the user to quickly and easily proceed with the transfer operation when the balance of the first transfer account is insufficient. 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/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 transfer account has a balance that is not below the balance threshold. In some embodiments, displaying the indication that the second transfer account different can be used for a transfer operation comprises displaying at least a portion of a representation of the second transfer account. In some embodiments, if a portion of a representation of the second transfer account is already displayed, displaying the indication that the second transfer account different can be used for a transfer operation comprises displaying a larger portion of the representation (e.g., 5012) of the second transfer account.
In some embodiments, subsequent to receiving (5130) the request to perform the operation associated with the first transfer account (e.g., the first-party transfer account associated with representation 5012) and while the balance of the first transfer account is below the balance threshold, the electronic device (e.g., 5000), transmits (5132) (e.g., via a wireless communication radio of the device), to a second electronic device (e.g., 5014, a transaction terminal, an external server), credentials of the first transfer account (e.g., payment credentials). In some embodiments, subsequent to receiving (5130) the request to perform the operation associated with the first transfer account and while the balance of the first transfer account is below the balance threshold, the electronic device (e.g., 5000) displays (5134), on the display, an add balance notification (e.g., as an alert, as a banner notification, as a pop-up notification). Displaying an add balance notification subsequent to receiving the request to perform the operation associated with the first transfer account and while the balance of the first transfer account is below the balance threshold improves feedback by enabling the user to quickly and easily recognize that the balance of the first transfer account is now low, and improves usability of the device by enabling the user to quickly and easily add balance to the account. Providing improved visual feedback to the user and 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 also transmits credentials of a second transfer account (e.g., payment credentials) to the second electronic device along with the credentials of the first transfer account (e.g., because the balance of the first transfer account alone is insufficient for a transfer operation, such as a payment transaction).
In some embodiments, while displaying the add balance notification (e.g., 5026, 5086A, 5086B), the electronic device (e.g., 5000) detects (5136), via the one or more input devices, an activation of the add balance notification. In some embodiments, in response to detecting the activation of the add balance notification, the electronic device displays (5138), on the display, an add balance user interface (e.g., 5032). In some embodiments, the add balance user interface corresponds to a user interface for adding items (e.g., points, credits, resources, funds) to a transfer account, such as a stored-value account.
In response to receiving (5106) the request to perform the operation associated with the first transfer account (e.g., the first-party transfer account associated with representation 5012), in accordance with a determination (5140) that the balance of the first transfer account is not below the balance threshold, the electronic device (e.g., 5000) displays (5142), on the display (e.g., 5002), the representation (e.g., 5012) of the first transfer account without displaying the insufficient balance notification (e.g., 5026, 5086A, 5086B). Displaying the representation of the first transfer account without displaying the insufficient balance notification in accordance with the determination that the balance of the first transfer account is not below the balance threshold improves feedback by enabling the user to quickly and easily recognize that the first transfer can be (and will be) used for the transfer operation. 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 representation of the first transfer account includes an indication of the balance of the first transfer account.
In some embodiments, in accordance with the determination (5140) that the balance of the first transfer account (e.g., the first-party transfer account associated with representation 5012) is not below the balance threshold, the electronic device (e.g., 5000) transmits (5144) (e.g., via a wireless communication radio of the electronic device) credentials of the first transfer account to a second electronic device (e.g., 5014, a payment terminal, an external server) for use in a transfer operation (e.g., of points, credits, resources, or funds from the first transfer account to a different account).
In some embodiments, displaying the representation of the first transfer account (e.g., the first-party transfer account associated with representation 5012) without displaying the insufficient balance notification (e.g., 5026, 5086A, 5086B) comprises displaying at least a portion (e.g., a top portion) of the representation (e.g., 5012) of the first transfer account (e.g., without displaying the entire representation) within a respective region (e.g., a bottom portion of the user interface of the transfer application) showing a portion of a representation of a second transfer account, where the portion of the representation of the first transfer account includes a balance indication corresponding to the balance of the first transfer account. Displaying the portion of the representation of the first transfer account that includes the balance indication corresponding to the balance of the first transfer account improves visual feedback by enabling the user to quickly and easily recognize that the first transfer account has sufficient balance, and thus can be used in the transfer operation. 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 electronic device (e.g., 5000) displays, in the respective region showing the portion of the representation of the second transfer account, one or more portions of representations of other transfer accounts different from the first payment account and the second payment account.
In some embodiments, while displaying the representation of the first transfer account (e.g., the first-party transfer account associated with representation 5012) without displaying the insufficient balance notification (e.g., 5026, 5086A, 5086B), the electronic device (e.g., 5000) detects (5146) (e.g., via a biometric sensor, such as a camera, a depth sensor, a fingerprint sensor, a retina/iris scanner) biometric information (e.g., facial features information, fingerprint information). In some embodiments, in accordance with a determination that the detected biometric information corresponds to enrolled biometric information (e.g., pre-configured on the device by the user), the electronic device transmits (5148) (e.g., via a wireless communication radio of the device), to a second electronic device (e.g., 5014, a transaction terminal, an external server), credentials of the first transfer account for use in a transfer operation corresponding to a requested amount of items, where the requested amount of items is withdrawn from the first transfer account (and thus the balance of first transfer account is accordingly lowered). Transmitting credentials of the first transfer account for use in a transfer operation to a second electronic device in accordance with the determination that the detected biometric information corresponds to enrolled biometric information enhances security of the device by helping to prevent fraudulent and/or unauthorized transactions to be made using the device.
In some embodiments, in response to (or subsequent to) transmitting the credentials of the first transfer account (e.g., the first-party transfer account associated with representation 5012) for use in the transfer operation, in accordance with a determination that the balance (after (at least) the requested amount of items is withdrawn from the first transfer account) is below the balance threshold, the electronic device (e.g., 5000) displays (5150), on the display (e.g., 5002), a low balance notification (e.g., 5099) (indicating that, after the successful transfer operation, the balance of the first transfer account has fallen below the balance threshold). Displaying a low balance notification in accordance with the determination that the balance is below the balance threshold after the requested amount of items is withdrawn from the first transfer account improves feedback by enabling the user to quickly and easily recognize that there is low balance in the account, and that balance needs to be added prior to initiating a new transfer operation at a later 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/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 balance of the first transfer account corresponds to a first amount of items (e.g., points, credits, resources, funds), and the balance threshold corresponds to a predetermined amount of items (e.g., zero, $10).
In some embodiments, the balance of the first transfer account corresponds to a first amount of items (e.g., points, credits, resources, funds), and the balance threshold corresponds to a requested transfer amount (e.g., a purchase price).
In some embodiments, the balance threshold is set (e.g., pre-configured, pre-selected) by a user of the electronic device (e.g., 5000). In some embodiments, the balance threshold is set by an operating system of the electronic device (and cannot be changed by the user of the electronic device).
Note that details of the processes described above with respect to method 5100 (e.g.,
The foregoing description, for purpose of explanation, has been described with reference to specific embodiments. However, the illustrative discussions above are not intended to be exhaustive or to limit the invention to the precise forms disclosed. Many modifications and variations are possible in view of the above teachings. The embodiments were chosen and described in order to best explain the principles of the techniques and their practical applications. Others skilled in the art are thereby enabled to best utilize the techniques and various embodiments with various modifications as are suited to the particular use contemplated.
Although the disclosure and examples have been fully described with reference to the accompanying drawings, it is to be noted that various changes and modifications will become apparent to those skilled in the art. Such changes and modifications are to be understood as being included within the scope of the disclosure and examples as defined by the claims.
As described above, one aspect of the present technology is the gathering and use of data available from various sources to improve the management of accounts using an electronic device and the management and operation of peer-to-peer transfer using the electronic device. The present disclosure contemplates that in some instances, this gathered data may include personal information data that uniquely identifies or can be used to contact or locate a specific person. Such personal information data can include demographic data, location-based data, telephone numbers, email addresses, twitter ID's, home addresses, data or records relating to a user's health or level of fitness (e.g., vital signs measurements, medication information, exercise information), date of birth, or any other identifying or personal information.
The present disclosure recognizes that the use of such personal information data, in the present technology, can be used to the benefit of users. For example, the personal information data can be used to provide enhanced device security and user protections when managing the operation of peer-to-peer transfers by preventing fraudulent, unauthorized, and/or unintended transfers. Further, other uses for personal information data that benefit the user are also contemplated by the present disclosure. For instance, health and fitness data may be used to provide insights into a user's general wellness, or may be used as positive feedback to individuals using technology to pursue wellness goals.
The present disclosure contemplates that the entities responsible for the collection, analysis, disclosure, transfer, storage, or other use of such personal information data will comply with well-established privacy policies and/or privacy practices. In particular, such entities should implement and consistently use privacy policies and practices that are generally recognized as meeting or exceeding industry or governmental requirements for maintaining personal information data private and secure. Such policies should be easily accessible by users, and should be updated as the collection and/or use of data changes. Personal information from users should be collected for legitimate and reasonable uses of the entity and not shared or sold outside of those legitimate uses. Further, such collection/sharing should occur after receiving the informed consent of the users. Additionally, such entities should consider taking any needed steps for safeguarding and securing access to such personal information data and ensuring that others with access to the personal information data adhere to their privacy policies and procedures. Further, such entities can subject themselves to evaluation by third parties to certify their adherence to widely accepted privacy policies and practices. In addition, policies and practices should be adapted for the particular types of personal information data being collected and/or accessed and adapted to applicable laws and standards, including jurisdiction-specific considerations. For instance, in the US, collection of or access to certain health data may be governed by federal and/or state laws, such as the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA); whereas health data in other countries may be subject to other regulations and policies and should be handled accordingly. Hence different privacy practices should be maintained for different personal data types in each country.
Despite the foregoing, the present disclosure also contemplates embodiments in which users selectively block the use of, or access to, personal information data. That is, the present disclosure contemplates that hardware and/or software elements can be provided to prevent or block access to such personal information data. For example, in the case of managing accounts, such as transfer accounts, the present technology can be configured to allow users to select to “opt in” or “opt out” of participation in the collection of personal information data during registration for services or anytime thereafter. In another example, users can select not to provide personal information that is not required when managing the provisioning of accounts and the use of accounts in peer-to-peer transfers (or provide one type of personal information, such as a certain type of biometric authentication information, instead of a different type of personal information, such as a different type of biometric information). 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, peer-to-peer transfers of certain types of items can be performed by inferring preferences based on non-personal information data or a bare minimum amount of personal information, other non-personal information associated with the user of the electronic device and accessible by the device, or publicly available information.
