This invention describes a feature for an electronic device, like a smartphone, that manages a digital stored-value account, such as a transit pass. When you use this account for a contactless payment, the device first shows your available balance and then smoothly replaces it with a confirmation of the transaction, using a specific sliding animation.
Why it matters: Filed in 2021, the core technology for mobile payments and UI animations was already mature. However, modern mobile UI frameworks have since simplified the development of complex and performant UI animations, potentially reducing the cost and effort to implement the specific sliding display described in the claims.
AI gives you a few directions you could take this. Pick one, and we check whether your version is different enough to patent, then write the filing.
