Newspaper: Restoring a purchase (no DRM, user signed in)

This design example describes a scenario where an end user restores earlier purchases. The content is not protected with built-in DRM, and the user is signed in to Nokia Store.

The user has earlier purchased a subscription for a Digital Newspaper application on their device. The user then lost the device, and now wants to restore the subscription on their new device. The situation is the following:

  • The user has previously purchased a subscription on a different device, and still has the right to restore access to the subscription.

  • The user is already signed in to Nokia Store. This means that when launched, the application can silently first check the user's identity from Nokia Store, and then check from the back end server if the user has a previously purchased subscription that is still valid. No password prompt is needed, and the application can display the restorable subscription right away, if it is available.

Screen 1:

When the user launches the application for the first time on their new device, the user's subscription information is synchronized with the back end server, and the subscription is restored.

Screen 2:

The status bar informs the user that they have 6 months and 3 days left of their subscription.

Screen 3:

After 4–6 seconds, the status bar text changes to My subscription.
