Abstract
A management system of a computing device provides enhanced functionality via selectable icons (e.g., tiles), presented on a home screen, that may be overlaid to perform overlay operations such as data transfer, payment, and/or granting of certain authorizations or permissions. Users are able to more readily perform cross-application and/or cross-entity operations via, for example, the operating system of a computing device without needing to engage with as many entities (or applications thereof). Tile overlay operations may be managed and reviewed via an application.
Claims16
A method comprising:
- presenting, on a display of a computing device, a graphical user interface (GUI) enabling selection of applications to run on the computing device, the GUI comprising a first selectable icon corresponding to a first application and a second selectable icon corresponding to a second application, the first icon and the second icon being selectable:
- in a first manner indicating selection of the first application or the second application, respectively;
- and
- in a second manner indicating selection of the first icon or the second icon, respectively;
- detecting selection of the first icon in the second manner;
- initiating a data transfer to at least one of:
- a first I/O layer of the first application;
- a second I/O layer of the second application;
- a first server associated with the first application;
- and
- a second server associated with the second application;
- wherein initiating the data transfer comprises initiating a transfer of a payment token to at least one of the first and second servers;
- and
- detecting a deactivation input via one of the first and second applications, and deactivating the payment token in response to detection of the deactivation input;
- wherein the payment token is transferred to the second server, wherein the deactivation input is detected via the second application, and wherein deactivating the payment token comprises transmitting to the second server, via at least one of the first application and the first server, an instruction to deactivate the payment token.

A method comprising:
- presenting, on a touchscreen display of a mobile device, a GUI comprising a first selectable icon corresponding to a first application and a second selectable icon corresponding to a second application, each of the first and second icons being selectable by a user of the mobile device in a first manner to launch the corresponding application and in a second manner to move the corresponding icon;
- detecting that the first icon has been moved such that the first and second icons contact each other or at least partially overlap;
- initiating a transfer of data to the second application via at least one of:
- the first application;
- a first server associated with the first application;
- and
- a second server associated with the second applications;
- wherein initiating the data transfer comprises initiating a transfer of a payment token to at least one of the first and second servers;
- and
- detecting a deactivation input via one of the first and second applications, and deactivating the payment token in response to detection of the deactivation input;
- wherein the payment token is transferred to the second server, wherein the deactivation input is detected via the second application, and wherein deactivating the payment token comprises transmitting to the second server, via at least one of the first application and the first server, an instruction to deactivate the payment token.
8 more elements
A mobile device comprising:
- one or more I/O interfaces for displaying graphical user interfaces (GUIs) and accepting user inputs;
- a processor and a memory storing instructions for system software which, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to:
- present, via the one or more I/O interfaces, a set of icons selectable by touch, each icon corresponding to a different application such that selection of each icon launches a corresponding application;
- detect a select-and-move operation of a first icon and overlaying of the first icon at least partially with a second icon, the first icon corresponding with a first application, and the second icon corresponding with a second application;
- initiate a data transfer:
- from one of the first and second applications to the other of the first and second applications;
- or
- between a first server corresponding with the first application and a second server corresponding with the second applications;
- wherein initiating the data transfer comprises initiating a transfer of a payment token to at least one of the first and second servers;
- and
- detecting a deactivation input via one of the first and second applications, and deactivating the payment token in response to detection of the deactivation input;
- wherein the payment token is transferred to the second server, wherein the deactivation input is detected via the second application, and wherein deactivating the payment token comprises transmitting to the second server, via at least one of the first application and the first server, an instruction to deactivate the payment token.
