Claims21
(canceled)
A wearable device, comprising:
- one or more computer-readable memories storing program instructions;
- and
- one or more processors configured to execute the program instructions to cause the system to perform operations comprising:
- in response to determining that a first portion of a wearable device is electrically or magnetically connected to a second portion of the wearable device, enabling authentication information to be received from a user;
- in response to receiving the authentication information from the user, utilizing the authentication information to authenticate the user;
- in response to authenticating the user, enabling a payment functionality of the wearable device to be utilized by the user;
- and
- in response to enabling the payment functionality, transmitting, during a first time period, a first payment based on the wearable device being within a first proximity of a first device.
A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing computer-executable instructions, that in response to execution by one or more hardware processors, causes the one or more hardware processors to perform operations comprising:
- in response to determining that a first portion of a wearable device is electrically or magnetically connected to a second portion of the wearable device, enabling authentication information to be received from a user;
- in response to receiving the authentication information from the user, utilizing the authentication information to authenticate the user;
- in response to authenticating the user, enabling a payment functionality of the wearable device to be utilized by the user;
- and
- in response to enabling the payment functionality, transmitting, during a first time period, a first payment based on the wearable device being within a first proximity of a first device.
A method, comprising:
- in response to determining that a first portion of a wearable device is electrically or magnetically connected to a second portion of the wearable device, enabling authentication information to be received from a user;
- in response to receiving the authentication information from the user, utilizing the authentication information to authenticate the user;
- in response to authenticating the user, enabling a payment functionality of the wearable device to be utilized by the user;
- and
- in response to enabling the payment functionality, transmitting, during a first time period, a first payment based on the wearable device being within a first proximity of a first device.
