First claim

What is claimed:

1. A device, comprising
a non-transitory memory; and
one or more hardware processors coupled to the non-transitory memory and configured to read instructions from the non-transitory memory to cause the device to perform operations comprising:
receiving, via a first wireless network connection, a request from a second device to communicate with the device, the second device associated with a marketplace;
identifying marketplace account information associated with the marketplace;
displaying, via a graphical user interface of the device, a first icon corresponding to an account of a user of the user device and a second icon corresponding to the marketplace;
inputting gestures via the graphical user interface, the gestures comprising: a squeeze of the first icon, and a swipe of a graphical element toward the second icon, the graphical element being generated by the graphical user interface in response to the squeeze;
associating, in response to the inputting of the gestures, the account with the marketplace account information;
authorizing a transaction with the marketplace using the account, the authorizing initiated by a predefined movement of the device; and
in response to the authorizing, presenting, via the graphical user interface, updated account information and the marketplace account information.

2. The device of claim 1 , wherein the operations further comprise: determining an amount of the transaction based on a length of time of the squeeze.

3. The device of claim 1 , wherein the predefined movement includes a shaking of the device.

4. The device of claim 1 , wherein the predefined movement includes a tilt of the device in a direction of the second device.

5. The device of claim 1 , wherein the operations further comprise:
associating, the account to an e-commerce marketplace account in response to another gesture performed via the graphical user interface.

6. The device of claim 5 , wherein the another gesture includes another swipe of the graphical element to an e-commerce marketplace icon displayed via the graphical user interface.

7. The device of claim 6 , wherein a discount is obtained from an e-commerce marketplace associated with the e-commerce marketplace icon, and wherein the discount is applied to the transaction.

8. The device of claim 6 , wherein the updated account information includes an updated balance based on the transaction and discount.

9. A method, comprising
receiving, via a first wireless network connection, a request from a second device to communicate with a first device, the second device associated with a marketplace;
identifying marketplace account information associated with the marketplace;
displaying, via a graphical user interface of the first device, a first icon corresponding to an account of a user and a second icon corresponding to the marketplace;
inputting gestures via the graphical user interface, the gestures comprising a squeeze of the first icon, and a swipe of a graphical element toward the second icon, the graphical element being generated by the graphical user interface in response to the squeeze;
associating, in response to the inputting of the gestures, the account with the marketplace account information;
authorizing a transaction with the marketplace using the account, the authorizing initiated by a predefined movement of the first device; and
in response to the authorizing, presenting, via the graphical user interface, updated account information and the marketplace account information.

10. The method of claim 9 , further comprising: determining an amount of the transaction based on a length of time of the squeeze.

11. The method of claim 9 , wherein the predefined movement includes a shaking of the first device.

12. The method of claim 9 , wherein the predefined movement includes a tilt of the first device in a direction of the second device.

13. The method of claim 9 , further comprising:
associating, the account to an e-commerce marketplace account in response to another gesture inputted via the graphical user interface.

14. The method of claim 13 , wherein the another gesture includes another swipe of the graphical element to an e-commerce marketplace icon displayed via the graphical user interface.

15. The method of claim 14 , wherein a discount is obtained from an e-commerce marketplace associated with the e-commerce marketplace icon, and wherein the discount is applied to the transaction.

16. The method of claim 14 , wherein the updated account information includes an updated balance based on the transaction and discount.

17. A non-transitory machine readable medium having stored thereon machine readable instructions executable to cause a machine to perform operations comprising:
receiving, via a first wireless network connection, a request from a second device to communicate with a first device, the second device associated with a marketplace;
identifying marketplace account information associated with the marketplace;
displaying, via a graphical user interface of the first device, a first icon corresponding to a account and a second icon corresponding to the marketplace;
inputting gestures via the graphical user interface, the gestures comprising: a squeeze of the first icon, and a swipe of a graphical element toward the second icon, the graphical element being generated by the graphical user interface in response to the squeeze;
associating, in response to the inputting of the gestures, the account with the marketplace account information;
authorizing, a transaction with the marketplace using the account, the authorizing initiated by a predefined movement of the first device; and
in response to the authorizing, presenting, via the graphical user interface, updated account information and the marketplace account information.

18. The non-transitory machine readable medium of claim 17 , wherein the operations further comprise: determining an amount of the transaction based on a length of time of the squeeze.

19. The non-transitory machine readable medium of claim 17 , wherein the predefined movement includes a shaking of the first device.

20. The non-transitory machine readable medium of claim 17 , wherein the predefined movement includes a tilt of the first device in a direction of the second device.
