  • Publication number: 20230124410
    Abstract: A mobile wireless communications device may communicate with a terminal including a first NFC device, the terminal being capable of receiving data from a provisioning server. The mobile wireless communications device may include a housing, a wireless transceiver carried by the housing, a second NFC device carried by the housing, a memory carried by the housing, a display carried by the housing, and a processor carried by the housing and coupled to the wireless transceiver, the second NFC device, the memory, and the display. The processor may be configured to implement a digital wallet including user cards, receive from the terminal, via the second NFC device, a blank user card including user data fields, and fill the user data fields of the blank user card to define a completed user card and send the completed user card to the provisioning server.

  • Publication number: 20210241262
    Abstract: A mobile wireless communications device may include a housing, a wireless transceiver carried by the housing, a memory carried by the housing, a display carried by the housing, and a processor carried by the housing. The processor is configured to implement a digital wallet including a multi-mode user card having first and second user interface modes, and selectively change the multi-mode user card from the first user interface mode to the second user interface mode based upon a current location, a current time, or a determined event. The second user interface mode includes one or more of a mapping interface mode, a survey interface mode, or a purchase interface mode.
