Abstract
An electronic device is provided comprising: a user interface component configured to output stimuli and receive inputs; a connection component configured to transmit communications to other devices, one or more processors coupled to the user interface component and the connection component; and a computer-readable storage medium containing instructions, that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to perform actions including: securely storing, at the electronic device, payment information associated with a payment account; detecting a proximate POS terminal; in response to detecting the proximate POS terminal, determining that a mechanical input authorizing a payment transaction has not been locally received at the electronic device within a time period; in response to the determination, presenting a stimulus indicating that the mechanical input has not been locally received; detecting, subsequent to the stimulus presentation, via the user interface component, a mechanical input was locally received at the electronic device; in response to detecting that the mechanical input has been locally received at the device, enabling the payment information to be accessed; and transmitting, from the electronic device, a communication including the payment information to the POS terminal.
