Abstract
A user terminal supporting mobile payment service is provided. The user terminal includes a display, a memory in which a payment application is stored, and a processor configured to run the payment application. If at least one specified user input occurs on the display while in a locked state, the processor runs the payment application without unlocking the locked state. Thus the payment application may be quickly launched from the locked state.
Claims21
An electronic device comprising:
- a sensor;
- a display, comprising a touch panel and a layer for displaying content;
- a memory storing a payment application;
- and
- a processor configured to:
- operate in a screen-off state, wherein power to the layer for displaying content is cut off, and power to the touch panel is maintained;
- while operating in the screen-off state, receive a swipe input spanning from a first predesignated region of the display to a second predesignated region of the display;
- in response to receiving the swipe input, execute the payment application to display, on the display, an image of a card which is registered on the payment application together with an instruction for prompting a biometric input;
- obtain, through the sensor, biometric information used for user authentication;
- and
- transmit, a payment signal via the payment application.
