Abstract

An electronic device is disclosed. The electronic device includes a memory, a display, and a processor configured to electrically connect with the memory and the display. The processor is configured to execute a payment application program for performing payment about a product, if receiving a first user input and display a user interface for searching for the product on at least part of a screen where the payment app is executed.

Claims

1. An electronic device, comprising:

a memory;

a display; and

a processor configured to electrically connect with the memory and the display,

wherein the processor is configured to;

execute a payment application program for performing payment for a product, when receiving a first user input;

display a user interface for searching for the product on at least part of a screen where the payment application program is executed;

collect a product identifier based on a second user input, when receiving the second user input on the user interface;

display information about the product based on the product identifier;

perform user authentication for the payment; and

request an external payment server to perform the payment and receive a payment result corresponding to the request.

2. The electronic device of claim 1, wherein the processor is configured to:

display information about a payment means for the payment and the user interface on one screen.

3. The electronic device of claim 1, wherein the first user input comprises at least one of a touch input, a swipe input, a force touch input, a multi-touch input, or a gesture input.

4. The electronic device of claim 1, wherein the processor is configured to:

execute the payment application program, when receiving the first user input in at least one of a screen-off state, a lock screen output state, or a home screen output state.

5. The electronic device of claim 1, wherein the processor is configured to:

provide the user interface for receiving at least one of a text input, an input using a camera of the electronic device, or an input using a microphone of the electronic device.

6. The electronic device of claim 1, wherein the second user input comprises at least one of a text code input, a barcode input, a quick response (QR) code input, or a sound input.

7. The electronic device of claim 1, wherein the processor is configured to:

request the payment server to transmit the information about the product based on the product identifier.

8. The electronic device of claim 1, wherein the processor is configured to:

receive account information of a user, the account information previously stored in the payment server or a server of a merchant who sells the product.

9. An electronic device, comprising:

a memory;

a display; and

a processor configured to electrically connect with the memory and the display,

wherein the processor is configured to;

collect a product identifier based on at least one of movement information of the electronic device or a wireless communication signal received from an external device;

receive and store information about a product from an external payment server based on the collected product identifier;

execute a payment app for performing payment for the product, when receiving a first user input;

display information about a payment means for the payment and the stored information about the product;

perform user authentication for the payment; and

request the payment server to perform the payment and receive a payment result corresponding to the request.

10. The electronic device of claim 9, wherein the processor is configured to:

display the information about the product on part of a screen where the payment app is loaded or part of an initial screen where the payment app is executed.

11. The electronic device of claim 9, wherein the processor is configured to:

display the information about the product to occupy an area of a screen where the payment app is executed.

12. The electronic device of claim 9, wherein the processor is configured to:

display the information about the product to occupy less than an area of a screen where the payment app is executed.

13. The electronic device of claim 9, wherein the processor is configured to:

display product information recommended to a user of the electronic device on at least part of a screen where the payment app is executed, when the information about the product is not stored in the memory.

14. The electronic device of claim 9, wherein the processor is configured to:

display information about an optimal payment means on at least part of a screen where the payment app is executed, based on benefit information included in the information about the product.

15. The electronic device of claim 9, wherein the processor is configured to:

when there are a plurality of products, display a list of the plurality of products on at least part of a screen where the payment app is executed.

16. An electronic device, comprising:

a housing configured to include a first surface and a second surface that faces a direction opposite to the first surface;

a touch screen display including a screen including a first edge that is extended in a first direction and has a first length, a second edge that is extended in a second direction perpendicular to the first direction and has a second length that is shorter than the first length, a third edge that has the first length and is parallel to the first edge, and a fourth edge that has the second length and is parallel to the second edge, the touch screen display configured to be exposed through at least part of the first surface;

a wireless communication circuit included in the housing;

at least one input circuit configured to obtain an image or a sound;

a processor included in the housing and configured to be electrically connect with the touch screen display and the wireless communication circuit; and

a memory included in the housing and configured to be electrically connect with the processor,

wherein the memory stores a payment application program including a user interface, and

wherein the memory includes instructions that, when executed, cause the processor to;

receive, on the touch screen display, a gesture input started from one of the first to fourth edges;

display, on the touch screen display, in response to the gesture input, the user interface including payment card information to be used for transaction through the payment application program;

receive, using the user interface or the at least one input circuit, an input about a target of the transaction;

transmit, using the wireless communication circuit, information based on the input to an external server;

receive, using the wireless communication circuit, a response based on the information;

display, on the touch screen display, based on the response, information about the target of the transaction;

receive authentication information for the transaction;

transmit, using the wireless communication circuit, in response to receiving the authentication information, payment information associated with the target of the transaction; and

receive, using the wireless communication circuit, a response associated with the transaction.

17. The electronic device of claim 16, further comprising:

a biometric authentication circuit, and

wherein the instructions, when executed, cause the processor to;

receive the authentication information using the biometric authentication circuit.
