Abstract

The present disclosure generally relates to receiving user information and/or device fit information.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1 . A computer system configured to communicate with one or more display generation components and one or more input devices, comprising:
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:
receiving, via the one or more input devices, a first set of user inputs corresponding to configuring options for a first item;
in response to receiving the first set of inputs, displaying, via the one or more display generation components, a first prompt instructing a user of the computer system to use a first external device separate from the computer system;
subsequent to displaying the first prompt, receiving information based on biometric information captured by the first external device; and
subsequent to receiving the information based on biometric information captured by the first external device, displaying, via the one or more display generation components, a first set of options corresponding to the first item, wherein the first set of options includes at least a first option that has been selected based on the biometric information captured by the first external device.

2 . The computer system of claim 1 , wherein the first option corresponds to a configuration option for configuring a physical parameter of the first item to fit one or more biometric features corresponding to the biometric information captured by the first external device.

3 . The computer system of claim 1 , wherein displaying the first prompt comprises displaying a machine-readable code.

4 . The computer system of claim 1 , wherein:
the first external device comprises one or more sensors; and the computer system does not include the one or more sensors.

5 . The computer system of claim 1 , wherein the first external device is smaller and/or lighter than the computer system.

6 . The computer system of claim 1 , wherein the information does not include the biometric information captured by the first external device.

7 . The computer system of claim 6 , wherein the information is indicative of a first component corresponding to the first item.

8 . The computer system of claim 1 , wherein the first item is an extended reality headset.

9 . The computer system of claim 8 , wherein the first option corresponds to a light seal component for the extended reality headset.

10 . The computer system of claim 9 , wherein the light seal component has a first physical characteristic, and the first physical characteristic is selected from a plurality of light seal physical characteristic options based on vision prescription information for a person.

11 . The computer system of claim 8 , wherein the first option corresponds to a headband component for the extended reality headset.

12 . The computer system of claim 1 , wherein the first set of user inputs correspond to user selection of one or more options corresponding to the first item.

13 . The computer system of claim 1 , the one or more programs further including instructions for:
receiving, via the one or more input devices, a second set of user inputs corresponding to configuring options for a second item as part of a set of steps corresponding to the second item; in response to receiving the second set of inputs, displaying, via the one or more display generation components, a second prompt instructing a user of the computer system to use a second external device separate from the computer system; subsequent to displaying the second prompt, receiving information indicating that a person has elected to complete the set of steps corresponding to the second item using the second external device; and in response to receiving the information indicating that the person has elected to complete the set of steps corresponding to the second item using the second external device, displaying, via the one or more display generation components, an indication that a person has elected to complete the set of steps corresponding to the second item using the second external device.

14 . The computer system of claim 1 , wherein the first option is selected based on the biometric information captured by the first external device and based on a second set of information different from the biometric information captured by the first external device.

15 . The computer system of claim 14 , wherein the second set of information includes user prescription information.

16 . The computer system of claim 1 , the one or more programs further including instructions for:
receiving, via the one or more input devices, a third set of user inputs corresponding to configuring options for the first item;
in response to receiving the third set of inputs:
in accordance with a determination that a first type of information corresponding to a user is not available, displaying, via the one or more display generation components, the first prompt instructing the user of the computer system to use the first external device separate from the computer system; and
in accordance with a determination that the first type of information corresponding to the user is available, displaying, via the one or more display generation components, a second set of options corresponding to the first item without displaying the first prompt, wherein the second set of options includes at least a second option that has been selected based on the first type of information corresponding to the user.

17 . The computer system of claim 16 , wherein:
the first type of information corresponding to the user includes user prescription information; displaying the second set of options corresponding to the first item includes displaying a first light seal option of a plurality of light seal options that has been selected based on the user prescription information; and displaying the second set of options corresponding to the first item further comprises:
in accordance with a determination that current prescription information corresponding to the user contradicts the user prescription information, displaying, via the one or more display generation components, a suggestion for a second light seal option different from the first light seal option, wherein the second light seal option is selected from the plurality of light seal options based on the current prescription information corresponding to the user.

18 . The computer system of claim 1 , the one or more programs further including instructions for:
displaying, via the one or more display generation components, one or more options corresponding to the first item, including an in-store option that is selectable to initiate a process for scheduling an appointment to view the first item in a physical store location; while displaying the one or more options corresponding to the first item, receiving, via the one or more input devices, a set of user inputs corresponding to selection of the in-store option; and in response to receiving the set of user inputs corresponding to selection of the in-store option, initiating a process for scheduling an appointment for a user of the computer system to view the first item in a physical store location.

19 . The computer system of claim 1 , wherein the first external device uses a first portion of a first application to capture the biometric information without downloading a second portion of the first application.

20 . The computer system of claim 1 , the one or more programs further including
