Abstract:
Methods and systems are provided for delegating spending from a user device, such as a parent's smart telephone, to another device, such as a child's smart telephone. In this manner, the owner of the other device, e.g., the child, can be allowed to purchase products. Restrictions can be placed upon the spending ability of the other device. For example, in order for the spending to be done, the other device can be required to be within a certain distance of the user device. Thus, purchases by the owner of the other device, e.g., the child, can be supervised.
