Abstract:
The described embodiments comprise an electronic device that executes an application, the electronic device including a processing subsystem. In these embodiments, the processing subsystem is configured to acquire a receipt associated with the application, wherein the application was purchased by a purchasing entity and installed on the electronic device after being assigned to a user of the electronic device by the purchasing entity. The processing subsystem is further configured to determine, using the receipt, if the application has expired. When the application has not expired, The processing subsystem is configured to execute the application with predetermined functions of the application enabled. When the application has expired, The processing subsystem is configured to execute the application with the predetermined functions of the application disabled.
Abstract:
An online store can transmit an online account token to an electronic device or to a biometric sensing device after a user successfully enters his or her account password. The electronic device or the biometric sensing device can countersign the online account token when the one or more biometric images match reference biometric images and the account password matches user identifier data stored in the electronic device or in the biometric sensing device. The countersigned online account token can then be transmitted to the online store. The user can then make one or more purchases after the online store receives the countersigned online account token.
