Management of near field communications using low power modes of an electronic device

摘要

Systems, methods, and computer-readable media for managing near field communications during a low power management mode of an electronic device are provided that may make credentials of a near field communication (“NFC”) component appropriately secure and appropriately accessible while also limiting the power consumption of the NFC component and of other components of the electronic device.

主权项

1. A method of operating an electronic device comprising:
detecting a low power mode initiation event; and in response to the detection of the low power mode initiation event:
disabling an element of the electronic device;while the element is disabled, identifying an authentication initiation event, wherein the identification of the authentication initiation event comprises detecting a near field communication terminal with the electronic device; andin response to the detection of the near field communication terminal of the identification of the authentication initiation event, providing on an output component of the electronic device an output that requests user interaction for enabling a near field communication component of the electronic device.
