Publication number: 20230394559Abstract: Aspects of the subject technology provide for obtaining, displaying, and/or updating order information for electronic devices. An electronic device may receive a link to an order corresponding to a transaction. The transaction may have been performed using the electronic device or another device. The link may include or be provided with an order identifier and authentication information. The electronic device may request order information for the order using the order identifier and the authentication information, and receive the order information responsive to providing the order identifier and the authentication information to a merchant system server using the link. The order information may be stored for display in a wallet application at the electronic device.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 29, 2022Publication date: December 7, 2023Inventors: Nicholas J.

Publication number: 20210406886Abstract: A device in a payment transaction handoff system may include at least one processor configured to receive a request to perform a payment transaction and identify, using a first communication protocol, a respective device identifier of each of a plurality of proximate devices. The at least one processor is configured to select, based at least in part on a payment factor, a default payment device from the plurality of proximate devices. The at least one processor is configured to transmit, via a second communication protocol, a message to perform the payment transaction, the message comprising the device identifier of the default payment device. In one or more implementations, a first device of the plurality of proximate devices may be associated with a first user account and a second device of the plurality of proximate devices may be associated with a second user account, different from the first user account.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 13, 2021Publication date: December 30, 2021Inventors: Bob BRADLEY, Marc J. KROCHMAL, William M. BUMGARNER, Vijay SUNDARAM, Margaret A. MOORE, Nicholas J. SHEARER, Brandon J. KIEFT

Patent number: 11206309Abstract: The present disclosure generally relates to techniques for managing a remote authorization to proceed with an action, such as creating a secure network connection. In some examples, a requesting device receives selection of one or more options. The requesting device transmits a request to proceed with an action to an authenticating device. The authenticating device concurrently displays an indication of the request to proceed with the action, information about the selected one or more options, and an indication of the requesting device. The authenticating device receives authorization to proceed with the action and transmits a response to the requesting device regarding the request to proceed with the action.Type: GrantFiled: August 6, 2020Date of Patent: December 21, 2021Assignee: Apple Inc.Inventors: Marcel Van Os, Oluwatomiwa B. Alabi, Peter D. Anton, George R. Dicker, Anton K. Diederich, Donald W. Pitschel, Nicholas J. Shearer

Publication number: 20210272118Abstract: The present disclosure generally relates to transaction user interfaces. In some examples, a user is notified if there is an error with transaction parameters and the device determines whether potentially compatible transaction parameters are available on the electronic device. In some examples, the user is notified if there is an error with transaction parameters and the user is prompted to use another device to enter new transaction information.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 14, 2021Publication date: September 2, 2021Inventors: Marcel VAN OS, Oluwatomiwa B. ALABI, Peter D. ANTON, Leonardo N. CANTELMO, George R. DICKER, Morgan GRAINGER, Kevin LYNCH, Nicholas J. SHEARER, Simon TICKNER

Patent number: 11025644Abstract: A content request communication, e.g., generated using a first processor of a device, can be transmitted to a web server. A response communication including content identifying a first value can be received from the web server. The first processor can facilitate presentation of the content on a first display of the device. A communication can be received at a second processor of the device from a remote server. The communication can include data representing a second value and can be generated at the remote server using information received from the web server. Further, the second processor can produce a secure verification output that can be presented on a separate, second display, representing at least the second value. The presentation on first display can at least partially overlap in time with the presentation on the second display.Type: GrantFiled: July 11, 2019Date of Patent: June 1, 2021Assignee: Apple Inc.Inventors: Gianpaolo Fasoli, Matthew C.
