Abstract

In some implementations, documents can be presented on a display of a computing device based on a context of the computing device. The context can include a current time and/or current location associated with the computing device. The documents can be presented based on a time and/or location associated with the documents. Documents can be downloaded and shared between devices. Documents can be dynamically updated based on document vendor provided information and/or other network based resources. In some implementations, the various graphical interfaces described herein provide access to a variety of document types in an organized and efficient manner.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1 . A method comprising:
at an electronic device in communication with a display device and one or more input devices:
receiving first information from a vendor;
generating and storing, on the electronic device, a first document comprising the first information; while the first document is stored on the electronic device, receiving, from the vendor, an indication of an update to a portion of the first information; in response to receiving the indication of the update to the portion of the first information:
updating the first document with the updated portion of the first information, and
automatically displaying, via the display device, a document notification associated with the first document, wherein the document notification comprises the updated portion of the first information and a first portion of the first document but not a second portion of the first document;
while displaying the notification, receiving, via the one or more input devices, an input directed to the notification; and in response to receiving the input, displaying, via the display device, a representation of the first document, the representation comprising the first portion of the first document and the second portion of the first document.

2 . The method of claim 1 , wherein displaying the document notification comprises visually highlighting the updated portion of the first information.

3 . The method of claim 2 , wherein visually highlighting the updated portion of the first information includes encircling the updated portion of the first information with a graphical element.

4 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the first document is associated with a purchase account, the portion of the first information is a balance of the purchase account, and the updated portion of the first information is an updated balance of the purchase account.

5 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the first document is associated with travel, the portion of the first information is travel information, and the updated portion of the first information is updated travel information.

6 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the first document is associated with a user-defined setting to enable or disable the updating of the first information.

7 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
after displaying the notification:
displaying, via the display device, a document management user interface that includes:
a first representation of the first document, the first representation of the first document comprising a first portion of the first document but not a second portion of the first document, and
a first representation of a second document stored on the electronic device, the first representation of the second document comprising a first portion of the second document but not a second portion of the second document; and

while displaying the document management user interface and while displaying the first representation of the first document, receiving, via the one or more input devices, an input directed to the first representation of the first document; and
in response to receiving the input, displaying, via the display device, a second representation of the first document comprising the first portion of the first document and the second portion of the first document, and the second portion of the first document includes the updated portion of the first information.

8 . The method of claim 7 , wherein:
a third document and a fourth document are further stored on the electronic device, the third and fourth documents are related, and the document management user interface includes the first representation of the first document, the first representation of the second document, an abstract for the third document, and a stacked presentation associated with the third and fourth documents.

9 . The method of claim 8 , further comprising:
while displaying the document management user interface including the first representation of the first document, the first representation of the second document, the abstract for the third document and the stacked presentation associated the third and fourth documents, receiving, via the one or more input devices, an input selecting the abstract for the third document; and in response to receiving the input selecting the abstract for the third document, displaying, via the display device, a third representation of the third document, different from the abstract for the third document.

10 . The method of claim 9 , further comprising:
while displaying the third representation of the third document, receiving, via the one or more input devices, an input directed to the third representation of the third document; and in response to receiving the input directed to the third representation of the third document, displaying, via the display device, a fourth representation of the fourth document.

11 . The method of claim 10 , wherein the input directed to the third representation of the third document is a swipe input.

12 . A non-transitory computer readable storage medium including instructions, which when executed by one or more processors of an electronic device in communication with a display device and one or more input devices, cause the electronic device to:
receive first information from a vendor; generate and store, on the electronic device, a first document comprising the first information; while the first document is stored on the electronic device, receive, from the vendor, an indication of an update to a portion of the first information; in response to receiving the indication of the update to the portion of the first information:
update the first document with the updated portion of the first information, and
automatically display, via the display device, a document notification associated with the first document, wherein the document notification comprises the updated portion of the first information and a first portion of the first document but not a second portion of the first document;
while displaying the notification, receive, via the one or more input devices, an input directed to the notification; and in response to receiving the input, display, via the display device, a representation of the first document, the representation comprising the first portion of the first document and the second portion of the first document.

13 . An electronic device comprising:
one or more processors; and memory storing instructions, which when executed by the one or more processors, cause the electronic device to: receive first information from a vendor; generate and store, on the electronic device, a first document comprising the first information; while the first document is stored on the electronic device, receive, from the vendor, an indication of an update to a portion of the first information; in response to receiving the indication of the update to the portion of the first information:
update the first document with the updated portion of the first information, and
automatically display, via the display device, a document notification associated with the first document, wherein the document notification comprises the updated portion of the first information and a first portion of the first document but not a second portion of the first document;
while displaying the notification, receive, via the one or more input devices, an input directed to the notification; and
in response to receiving the input, display, via the display device, a representation of the first document, the representation comprising the first portion of the first document and the second portion of t
