Abstract

An embodiment includes a method to increase the efficiency of security checkpoint operations. A security checkpoint kiosk serves as a Relying Party System (RPS). The RPS establishes a secure local connection between the RPS and a User Mobile-Identification-Credential Device (UMD). The RPS sends a user information request to the UMD, via the secure local connection, seeking release of user information associated with a Mobile Identification Credential (MIC). The RPS obtains authentication of the user information received in response to the user information request. The RPS retrieves user travel information based on the user information. The RPS determines that the user travel information matches the user information. When the user travel information matches the user information, the RPS approves the user to proceed past the security checkpoint kiosk.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A computer system that is configured to communicate with a display generation component, the computer system comprising:
one or more processors; and
memory storing one or more sets of instructions configured to be executed by the one or more processors, the one or more sets of instructions including instructions for:
receiving a request for a plurality of mobile identification credential information from an external electronic device that is separate from the computer system, the plurality of mobile identification credential information corresponding to a first credential information and a second credential information;
in response to receiving the request for the plurality of mobile identification credential information from the external electronic device, displaying, via the display generation component, a first user interface that identifies the plurality of mobile identification credential information, including the first credential information and the second credential information;
subsequent to receiving the request for the plurality of mobile identification credential information, detecting one or more user inputs approving release of the first credential information without approving release of the second credential information; and
transmitting, to the external electronic device and based on the one or more user inputs, first information corresponding to the first credential information without transmitting second information corresponding to the second credential information.

2. The computer system of claim 1 , wherein the request for a plurality of mobile identification credential information corresponds to a request for identification information of a user of the computer system.

3. The computer system of claim 2 , wherein the plurality of mobile identification credential information includes one or more of a photograph of the user, a name of the user, an age of the user, and a social security number of the user.

4. The computer system of claim 1 , wherein the first user interface includes a selectable first option, and wherein the first option corresponds to approving release of the first credential information without approving release of the second credential information in response to request for the plurality of mobile identification credential information from the external electronic device.

5. The computer system of claim 1 , wherein:
the one or more user inputs includes biometric information corresponding to a user of the computer system; and
the one or more sets of instructions further include instructions for:
performing biometric information verification to verify that the biometric information corresponds to stored biometric information for the user of the computer system.

6. The computer system of claim 5 , wherein the stored biometric information is stored on the computer system.

7. The computer system of claim 5 , wherein performing biometric information verification includes performing facial recognition verification.

8. The computer system of claim 5 , wherein the biometric information includes a fingerprint scan, and performing biometric information verification includes fingerprint verification using the fingerprint scan.

9. The computer system of claim 1 , the one or more sets of instructions further including instructions for:
prior to transmitting the first information to the external electronic device, establishing a secure wireless communication connection between the computer system and the external electronic device.

10. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing one or more programs configured to be executed by one or more processors of a computer system that is in communication with a display generation component, the one or more programs including instructions for:
receiving a request for a plurality of mobile identification credential information from an external electronic device that is separate from the computer system, the plurality of mobile identification credential information corresponding to a first credential information and a second credential information;
in response to receiving the request for the plurality of mobile identification credential information from the external electronic device, displaying, via the display generation component, a first user interface that identifies the plurality of mobile identification credential information, including the first credential information and the second credential information;
subsequent to receiving the request for the plurality of mobile identification credential information, detecting one or more user inputs approving release of the first credential information without approving release of the second credential information; and
transmitting, to the external electronic device and based on the one or more user inputs, first information corresponding to the first credential information without transmitting second information corresponding to the second credential information.

11. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 10 , wherein the request for a plurality of mobile identification credential information corresponds to a request for identification information of a user of the computer system.

12. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 11 , wherein the plurality of mobile identification credential information includes one or more of a photograph of the user, a name of the user, an age of the user, and a social security number of the user.

13. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 10 , wherein the first user interface includes a selectable first option, and wherein the first option corresponds to approving release of the first credential information without approving release of the second credential information in response to request for the plurality of mobile identification credential information from the external electronic device.

14. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 10 , wherein:
the one or more user inputs includes biometric information corresponding to a user of the computer system; and
the one or more programs further including instructions for:
performing biometric information verification to verify that the biometric information corresponds to stored biometric information for the user of the computer system.

15. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 14 , wherein the stored biometric information is stored on the computer system.

16. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 14 , wherein performing biometric information verification includes performing facial recognition verification.

17. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 14 , wherein the biometric information includes a fingerprint scan, and performing biometric information verification includes fingerprint verification using the fingerprint scan.

18. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 10 , the one or more programs further including instructions for:
prior to transmitting the first information to the external electronic device, establishing a secure wireless communication connection between the computer system and the external electronic device.

19. A method comprising:
at a computer system that is in communication with a display generation component:
receiving a request for a plurality of mobile identification credential information from an external electronic device that is separate from the computer system, the plurality of mobile identi
