Abstract

The present disclosure generally relates to a computer system associated with a first user identity and a user interface for configuring an account for use by one or more devices associated with a second user identity. The user interface includes a control for selecting between a first account option that enables transfers between the account and only a first set of user accounts and a second account option that enables transfers between the account and a second set of user accounts, the second set of user accounts including the first set of user accounts and one or more additional user accounts associated with additional users. In response to receiving a request to configure the account, the account is configured with the first account option when the first account option is selected and the account is configured with the second account option when the second account option is selected.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A computer system associated with a first user identity, comprising:
a display generation component;
one or more input devices;
one or more processors; and
memory storing one or more programs configured to be executed by the one or more processors, the one or more programs including instructions for:
displaying, via the display generation component, a user interface for configuring an account for a service for use by one or more devices associated with a second user identity, wherein displaying the user interface includes concurrently displaying:
a first graphical user interface object that, when selected by an input detected via the one or more input devices, displays a first indicator; and
a second graphical user interface object independently selectable from the first graphical user interface object that, when selected by an input detected via the one or more input devices, displays a second indicator;

while displaying, via the display generation component, the user interface, detecting, via the one or more input devices, an input corresponding to a request to configure the account; and
in response to detecting the input corresponding to the request to configure the account:
in accordance with a determination that the first graphical user interface object is currently selected, transmitting a request to configure the account with an account setting corresponding to the first graphical user interface object, wherein:
transfers are permitted between the account configured with the account setting corresponding to the first graphical user interface object and only a first set of user accounts for the service;
transfers are restricted between the account configured with the account setting corresponding to the first graphical user interface object and all user accounts for the service other than the first set of user accounts; and
the first set of user accounts are associated with a predetermined set of users of the service including the first user identity; and

in accordance with a determination that the second graphical user interface object is currently selected, transmitting a request to configure the account with an account setting corresponding to the second graphical user interface object, wherein:
transfers are permitted between the account configured with the account setting corresponding to the second graphical user interface object and a second set of user accounts for the service; and
the second set of user accounts includes the first set of user accounts and at least one or more additional user accounts associated with additional users of the service.

2. The computer system of claim 1 , wherein the one or more programs further include instructions for:
subsequent to transmitting the request to configure the account with an account setting corresponding to the first graphical user interface object or the request to configure the account with an account setting corresponding to the second graphical user interface object, providing an indication that the account is available for use by the one or more devices associated with the second user identity.

3. The computer system of claim 1 , wherein the transfers include transfers of data quota.

4. The computer system of claim 1 , wherein the transfers include transfers of money.

5. The computer system of claim 1 , wherein the one or more programs further include instructions for:
prior to detecting the input corresponding to the request to configure the account, detecting, via the one or more input devices, an input selecting the first graphical user interface object or the second graphical user interface object.

6. The computer system of claim 1 , wherein the account is configured for use by the one or more devices associated with the second user identity without input at the one or more devices associated with the second user identity.

7. The computer system of claim 6 , wherein the one or more programs further include instructions for:
after detecting the input corresponding to the request to configure the account, transmitting a request to perform a transfer to the account.

8. The computer system of claim 1 , wherein the one or more programs further include instructions for:
prior to configuring the account, requesting confirmation from the second user identity prior to enabling the account to be used by a device associated with the second user identity.

9. The computer system of claim 1 , wherein the one or more programs further include instructions for:
after configuring the account:
displaying, via the display generation component, an option that, when selected, initiates a process to request a transfer to the account.

10. The computer system of claim 1 , wherein displaying the user interface for configuring the account includes:
displaying, via the display generation component, an option that, when selected, causes transfers to be restricted between the account and an account associated with an application on the one or more devices associated with the second user identity.

11. The computer system of claim 1 , wherein displaying the user interface for configuring the account includes:
displaying, via the display generation component, an option that, when selected, causes transfers to be restricted between the account and an account not associated with an application on the one or more devices associated with the second user identity.

12. The computer system of claim 1 , wherein displaying the user interface for configuring the account includes:
displaying, via the display generation component, an option that, when selected, causes a notification to be received in response to one or more future transfers between the account and a second account.

13. The computer system of claim 12 , wherein the notification includes one or more of an amount of the transfer and an identification of the second account.

14. The computer system of claim 1 , wherein displaying the user interface for configuring the account includes:
displaying, via the display generation component, an option that, when selected, causes the account to be disabled.

15. The computer system of claim 14 , wherein the one or more programs further include instructions for:
in response to detecting, via the one or more input devices, an input selecting the option that, when selected, causes the account to be disabled, transmitting a request for the one or more devices associated with the second user identity to display a notification that the account is disabled.

16. The computer system of claim 1 , wherein the one or more programs further include instructions for:
displaying, via the display generation component, a user interface for viewing one or more user identities, the user interface including an indication that one or more user identities are available to have an account configured.

17. The computer system of claim 16 , wherein the indication includes a status of the account.

18. The computer system of claim 16 , wherein the one or more programs further include instructions for:
while displaying the user interface for viewing one or more user identities, detecting, via the one or more input devices, an input selecting the second user identity from the one or more user identities; and
in response to detecting the input selecting the second user identity, displaying, via the display generation component, a second user interface for configuring the account for use by one or more devices associated with the second user identity.
