Abstract
One or more computing devices, systems, and/or methods for sub-account management are provided. For example, a user may have a primary account with a service, such as a social network service, an email service, a bank service, etc. The user may create a sub-account connected/linked to the primary account. The primary account comprises and directly controls the sub-account. For example, the primary account can access content, sub-account settings, and/or sub-account activity of the sub-account from the primary account. The sub-account can be automatically disconnected from the primary account based upon a disconnect condition being satisfied.
Claims20
A method of account management, the method comprising:
- executing, on a processor of a computing device, instructions that cause the computing device to perform operations, the operations comprising:
- displaying a primary account interface through a display of the computing device for a user associated with a primary account with a service;
- responsive to receiving a create command through the primary account interface to create a sub-account connected to the primary account, displaying a sub-account creation interface through the primary account interface;
- creating the sub-account connected to the primary account based upon input received through the sub-account creation interface, wherein the sub-account is part of the primary account and the primary account has control over the sub-account;
- receiving input specifying a disconnect condition through the sub-account creation interface, wherein the disconnect condition specifies that the sub-account is to be disconnected from the primary account upon satisfaction of a condition;
- associating the disconnect condition with the sub-account;
- displaying sub-account settings of the sub-account through the primary account interface;
- and
- responsive to receiving a value for a sub-account setting through the primary account interface, applying the value to the sub-account setting for the sub-account.
A computing device comprising:
- a processor;
- and
- memory comprising processor-executable instructions that when executed by the processor cause performance of operations, the operations comprising:
- receiving a request from a user to create at least one primary account with a service;
- displaying an account creation interface populated with primary account creation options and sub-account creation options;
- creating a primary account and a sub-account connected to the primary account based upon input received through the account creation interface for the primary account creation options and the sub-account creation options;
- providing the primary account with access to sub-account settings of the sub-account;
- responsive to receiving a value for a sub-account setting, applying the sub-account setting to the sub-account;
- receiving input specifying a disconnect condition, wherein the disconnect condition specifies that the sub-account is to be disconnected from the primary account upon satisfaction of a condition;
- associating the disconnect condition with the sub-account;
- and
- displaying one or more sub-account settings of the sub-account.
A non-transitory machine readable storage medium having stored thereon processor-executable instructions that when executed cause performance of operations, the operations comprising:
- displaying a primary account interface through a display of a computing device for a user associated with a primary account with a service;
- responsive to receiving a create command through the primary account interface to create a sub-account connected to the primary account, displaying a sub-account creation interface;
- creating the sub-account connected to the primary account based upon input received through the sub-account creation interface;
- providing the primary account with access to at least one of content of the sub-account with the service, sub-account settings of the sub-account, or account activity of the sub-account;
- receiving a request to transfer the sub-account from the primary account to a second primary account;
- disconnecting the sub-account from the primary account;
- and
- connecting the sub-account to the second primary account, wherein the sub-account is part of the second primary account, wherein the primary account has control over content and settings of the sub-account.
