Abstract

Methods and systems are provided for checking authorization of users. A first electronic device may receive via close range contactless communication, photographic identification data associated with a user of a second electronic device. The photographic identification data may be displayed visually to enable a user of the first electronic device to compare an appearance of the user of the second electronic device for verifying authorization data associated with the user of the second electronic device. The displaying of the photographic identification data may be controlled based on input by the user of the first electronic device, wherein the controlling comprises modifying at least a portion of a displayed image corresponding to the photographic identification data.

First claim

What is claimed:

1. A method comprising:
in a first electronic device:
receiving, via close range contactless communication, photographic identification data associated with a user of a second electronic device;
displaying said photographic identification data visually to enable a user of the first electronic device to compare an appearance of said user of the second electronic device for verifying authorization data associated with said user of the second electronic device; and
controlling the displaying of said photographic identification data based on input by said user of the first electronic device, wherein the controlling comprises modifying at least a portion of a displayed image corresponding to said photographic identification data.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein said photographic identification data is displayed by a virtual retina display.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein said photographic identification data is a photographic representation of at least a user face.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein said photographic identification data is stored in the second electronic device.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein said photographic identification data is stored in a removable identification component of the second electronic device.

6. The method of claim 1 , wherein said authorization data comprises an International Mobile Subscriber Identification number.

7. The method of claim 1 , wherein said authorization data is stored in the second electronic device.

8. The method of claim 1 , wherein said authorization data is stored in a removable identification component of the second electronic device.

9. A system comprising:
one or more circuits for use in a first electronic device, the one or more circuits being operable to:
receive, via close range contactless communication, photographic identification data associated with a user of a second electronic device; and
display said photographic identification data visually to enable a user of the first electronic device to compare an appearance of said user of the second electronic device for verifying authorization data associated with said user of the second electronic device,
wherein the displaying of said photographic identification data is controlled based on input by a user of the first electronic device, and the controlling comprises modifying at least a portion of a displayed image corresponding to said photographic identification data.

10. The system of claim 9 , further comprising a virtual retina display enabled to display said photographic identification data.

11. The system of claim 9 , wherein said photographic identification data is a photographic representation of at least a user face.

12. The system of claim 9 , wherein said photographic identification data is stored in the second electronic device.

13. The system of claim 9 , wherein said photographic identification data is stored in a removable identification component of the second electronic device.

14. The system of claim 9 , wherein said authorization data comprises an International Mobile Subscriber Identification number.

15. The system of claim 9 , wherein said authorization data is stored in the second electronic device.

16. The system of claim 9 , wherein said authorization data is stored in a removable identification component of the second electronic device.
