Patent number: 10977651Abstract: The present disclosure relates to making payments with a mobile device. In one example process, the mobile device receives and stores information for one or more payment accounts on the mobile device. The mobile device is used to make payments using the payment accounts. In some examples, authorization to proceed with a payment is performed before each purchase made by the user. The authorization process can include receiving a verification of the user, such as a fingerprint scan or passcode. In some examples, a payment account is selected from among available payment accounts. In some examples, an indication is displayed of a digital item associated with a purchased item. In some examples, a payment transaction is initiated with participants of an ongoing communication. In some examples, an application of a retailer is invoked based on the availability of the application. In some examples, a purchase recommendation is provided.Type: GrantFiled: August 11, 2020Date of Patent: April 13, 2021Assignee: Apple Inc.Inventors: Marcel Van Os, Christopher D. Adams, Charles Ahn, Pablo F. Caro, George R. Dicker, Craig M. Federighi, Woo-Ram Lee, Brian Tucker, Giancarlo Yerkes

Patent number: 9842330Abstract: In some examples, an account is provisioned onto an electronic device. In some examples, the device receives a value to fund the account provisioned on the electronic device. In some examples, the electronic device transacts with a contactless transaction terminal using the provisioned account and displays an indication of the transaction. In some examples, the electronic device transmits information corresponding to the provisioned account without checking for authentication. In some examples, the device receives user input initiating a process for moving the account from a first device to a second device. In some examples, the device receives account payment credentials from a second device when a set of payment criteria are met.Type: GrantFiled: September 23, 2016Date of Patent: December 12, 2017Assignee: APPLE INC.Inventors: Marcel Van Os, Charles Ahn, Oluwatomiwa B.
