  "patent_number": "US 11853535",
  "country": "US",
  "title": "How Apple Devices Securely Display Digital Passes and Tickets",
  "original_title": "Sharing and using passes or accounts",
  "summary": "A system for securely displaying digital tickets or account codes on a screen only after verifying the user's identity, and automatically hiding them once used or if time runs out.",
  "what_it_does": "This patent describes a secure method for managing digital passes, like boarding passes or event tickets, on a mobile device. When a user wants to view their ticket's machine-readable code (like a QR code), the device requires authentication, such as a passcode or biometric scan. Once verified, the code appears, but the system monitors for a second authentication or a time limit to ensure the display remains secure. If the code is successfully scanned or the time expires, the system automatically hides the code and confirms the transaction, preventing unauthorized access to the underlying account.",
  "what_it_does_not_cover": [
    "Does not cover the physical scanning hardware or optical sensors used to read the code.",
    "Does not cover the underlying network protocols used to transmit the pass data from a server.",
    "Does not cover methods of authentication that do not rely on a predetermined time-based verification window.",
    "Does not cover the creation or issuance of the digital passes by the service provider."

  "abstract": "The present disclosure generally relates to a computer system displaying user interfaces for accessing passes and transfer accounts. In some examples, passes are added to the computer system. In some examples, passes are accessed. In some examples, transfers relating to the passes and transfer accounts are displayed, such as in search user interfaces.",
