Abstract

An electronic device for receiving an account identifier is described. The device includes display; one or more processors; and memory storing one or more programs. The device displays a user interface that includes an area for receiving an account identifier and a first set of candidates for a first set of characters. The device detects a selection of a first candidate of the first set of candidates. In response, the device displays characters in the first candidate in the area. The device, subsequent to detecting the selection of the first candidate, receives a manual input of each character in one or more sets of characters; and displays, in the area, characters in the one or more sets of characters concurrently with at least the characters in the first candidate. A corresponding method and a computer readable storage medium storing one or more programs for execution by the electronic device are also described.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A method for completing user input of an account identifier on a display of an electronic device, the electronic device having memory and one or more processors, the method comprising:
displaying a user interface that includes (i) an account input box for receiving user inputs of an account identifier of an account holder and (ii) an account pre-selection information box for displaying a first set of candidates for a first set of characters, each candidate in the first set of candidates comprising a plurality of characters;
detecting a user input of one or more characters in the account input box;
in response to detecting the user input of one or more characters in the account input box, updating the first set of candidates for the first set of characters by highlighting the one or more user-inputted characters matching the first set of candidates;
detecting a user selection of a first candidate of the first set of candidates for the first set of characters;
in response to detecting the user selection of the first candidate of the first set of candidates for the first set of characters:
replacing the one or more user-inputted characters in the account input box with a plurality of characters corresponding to the user-selected first candidate;
replacing the first set of candidates for the first set of characters in the account pre-selection information box with a second set of candidates for a second set of characters, each candidate in the second set of candidates comprising a plurality of characters and corresponding to a respective geographical location selected based on a current geographical location of the electronic device;
detecting a user selection of a second candidate of the second set of candidates for the second set of characters;
in response to detecting the user selection of the second candidate of the second set of candidates for the second set of characters:
appending a plurality of characters corresponding to the user-selected second candidate to the plurality of characters corresponding to the user-selected first candidate in the account input box;
removing the account pre-selection information box from the user interface;
determining that the electronic device has received user input for all but a last set of characters; and
in accordance with a determination that the electronic device has received user input for all but the last set of characters:
ceasing to display candidates for any set of characters of the multiple sets of characters so as to require manual entry of the last set of characters, wherein the last set of characters comprises a plurality of characters.

2. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
detecting a user input of a last set of characters in the account input box and a confirmation instruction; and
in response to receiving the confirmation instruction, sending a transaction request including the account identifier in the account input box and individual information of the user to an account management system that manages the account, wherein the account management system is configured to authenticate the transaction request in accordance with a determination that the individual information matches information of the account holder.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the account input box and the account pre-selection information box are concurrently displayed in the user interface prior to detecting the user selection of the first candidate.

4. An electronic device for completing user input of an account identifier, comprising:
a display;
one or more processors;
memory; and
one or more programs stored in the memory for execution by the one or more processors, the one or more programs including instructions for:
displaying a user interface that includes (i) an account input box for receiving user inputs of an account identifier of an account holder and (ii) an account pre-selection information box for displaying a first set of candidates for a first set of characters, each candidate in the first set of candidates comprising a plurality of characters;
detecting a user input of one or more characters in the account input box;
in response to detecting the user input of one or more characters in the account input box, updating the first set of candidates for the first set of characters by highlighting the one or more user-inputted characters matching the first set of candidates;
detecting a user selection of a first candidate of the first set of candidates for the first set of characters;
in response to detecting the user selection of the first candidate of the first set of candidates for the first set of characters:
replacing the one or more user-inputted characters in the account input box with a plurality of characters corresponding to the user-selected first candidate;
replacing the first set of candidates for the first set of characters in the account pre-selection information box with a second set of candidates for a second set of characters, each candidate in the second set of candidates comprising a plurality of characters and corresponding to a respective geographical location selected based on a current geographical location of the electronic device;
detecting a user selection of a second candidate of the second set of candidates for the second set of characters;
in response to detecting the user selection of the second candidate of the second set of candidates for the second set of characters:
appending a plurality of characters corresponding to the user-selected second candidate to the plurality of characters corresponding to the user-selected first candidate in the account input box;
removing the account pre-selection information box from the user interface;
determining that the electronic device has received user input for all but a last set of characters; and
in accordance with a determination that the electronic device has received user input for all but the last set of characters:
 ceasing to display candidates for any set of characters of the multiple sets of characters so as to require manual entry of the last set of characters, wherein the last set of characters comprises a plurality of characters.

5. The electronic device of claim 4 , wherein the one or more programs further include instructions for:
detecting a user input of a last set of characters in the account input box and a confirmation instruction; and
in response to receiving the confirmation instruction, sending a transaction request including the account identifier in the account input box and individual information of the user to an account management system that manages the account, wherein the account management system is configured to authenticate the transaction request in accordance with a determination that the individual information matches information of the account holder.

6. The electronic device of claim 4 , wherein the account input box and the account pre-selection information box are concurrently displayed in the user interface prior to detecting the user selection of the first candidate.

7. A non-transitory computer readable storage medium storing one or more programs for execution by one or more processors of a portable electronic device, the one or more programs including instructions for:
displaying a user interface that includes (i) an account input box for receiving user inputs of an account identifier of an account holder and (ii) an account pre-selection information box for displaying a first set of candidates for a first set of characters, each candidate in the first set of candidates comprising a plurality of characters;
detecting a user input of one or more characters in the account input box;
in response to detecting the user input of one or more characters
