Abstract

In some implementations, documents can be presented on a display of a computing device based on a context of the computing device. The context can include a current time and/or current location associated with the computing device. The documents can be presented based on a time and/or location associated with the documents. Documents can be downloaded and shared between devices. Documents can be dynamically updated based on document vendor provided information and/or other network based resources. In some implementations, the various graphical interfaces described herein provide access to a variety of document types in an organized and efficient manner.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A method, comprising:
at an electronic device with one or more biometric sensors:
detecting an attempt to initiate a transaction using a document stored on the electronic device, wherein the document is one of a plurality of documents that are stored on the electronic device and available for use in transactions; and
in response to detecting the attempt to initiate the transaction:
initiating a facial recognition process for biometrically authenticating a user of the electronic device, including capturing image data with a camera of the electronic device and comparing the captured image data to stored biometric data derived from one or more previously captured images of an authorized user of the electronic device;
in accordance with a determination that the captured image data is consistent with the stored biometric data, proceeding with the transaction, wherein proceeding with the transaction includes displaying, on a display of the electronic device, a representation of the document with which the transaction was initiated; and
in accordance with a determination that the captured image data is not consistent with the stored biometric data, forgoing proceeding with the transaction.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein proceeding with the transaction includes displaying, on a display of the electronic device, a visual indication that biometrically authenticating the user of the electronic device was successful.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the representation of the document is displayed on a lock screen of the electronic device.

4. The method of claim 1 , further comprising concurrently displaying, on the display of the electronic device, the representation of the document and information about a current offer associated with the document.

5. The method of claim 1 , further comprising concurrently displaying, on the display of the electronic device, the representation of the document and information relating to the document that is updated dynamically as the information changes.

6. The method of claim 1 , further comprising concurrently displaying, on the display of the electronic device, the representation of the document and a representation of a currency amount associated with the transaction.

7. The method of claim 1 , further comprising concurrently displaying, on the display of the electronic device, the representation of the document, a representation of information associated with the transaction and a representation of information associated with the document.

8. The method of claim 1 , wherein proceeding with the transaction includes wirelessly transmitting data for facilitating the transaction from the electronic device to a second device participating in the transaction.

9. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium including instructions, which when executed by a processor of an electronic device with one or more biometric sensors, cause the electronic device to perform a method comprising:
detecting an attempt to initiate a transaction using a document stored on the electronic device, wherein the document is one of a plurality of documents that are stored on the electronic device and available for use in transactions; and
in response to detecting the attempt to initiate the transaction:
initiating a facial recognition process for biometrically authenticating a user of the electronic device, including capturing image data with a camera of the electronic device and comparing the captured image data to stored biometric data derived from one or more previously captured images of an authorized user of the electronic device;
in accordance with a determination that the captured image data is consistent with the stored biometric data, proceeding with the transaction, wherein proceeding with the transaction includes displaying, on a display of the electronic device, a representation of the document with which the transaction was initiated; and
in accordance with a determination that the captured image data is not consistent with the stored biometric data, forgoing proceeding with the transaction.

10. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 9 , wherein proceeding with the transaction includes displaying, on a display of the electronic device, a visual indication that biometrically authenticating the user of the electronic device was successful.

11. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 9 , wherein the representation of the document is displayed on a lock screen of the electronic device.

12. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 9 , wherein the method further comprises concurrently displaying, on the display of the electronic device, the representation of the document and information about a current offer associated with the document.

13. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 9 , wherein the method further comprises concurrently displaying, on the display of the electronic device, the representation of the document and information relating to the document that is updated dynamically as the information changes.

14. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 9 , wherein the method further comprises concurrently displaying, on the display of the electronic device, the representation of the document and a representation of a currency amount associated with the transaction.

15. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 9 , wherein the method further comprises concurrently displaying, on the display of the electronic device, the representation of the document, a representation of information associated with the transaction and a representation of information associated with the document.

16. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 9 , wherein proceeding with the transaction includes wirelessly transmitting data for facilitating the transaction from the electronic device to a second device participating in the transaction.

17. An electronic device comprising:
one or more biometric sensors;
a processor; and
memory including instructions, which when executed by the processor of the electronic device, cause the electronic device to perform a method comprising:
detecting an attempt to initiate a transaction using a document stored on the electronic device, wherein the document is one of a plurality of documents that are stored on the electronic device and available for use in transactions; and
in response to detecting the attempt to initiate the transaction:
initiating a facial recognition process for biometrically authenticating a user of the electronic device, including capturing image data with a camera of the electronic device and comparing the captured image data to stored biometric data derived from one or more previously captured images of an authorized user of the electronic device;
in accordance with a determination that the captured image data is consistent with the stored biometric data, proceeding with the transaction, wherein proceeding with the transaction includes displaying, on a display of the electronic device, a representation of the document with which the transaction was initiated; and
in accordance with a determination that the captured image data is not consistent with the stored biometric data, forgoing proceeding with the transaction.

18. The electronic device of claim 17 , wherein proceeding with the transaction includes displaying, on a display of the electronic device, a visual indication that biometrically authenticating the user of the elec
