Displaying Device-Usage Information - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17879246 titled 'Displaying Device-Usage Information
Simplified Explanation
The abstract of this patent application describes a method for determining the amount of use or frequency of unlocks of a display screen on a user's client computing device during a specific period of time. This information is then displayed on the lock screen of the device.
- The method determines the amount of use or frequency of unlocks of a display screen on a client computing device.
- The information is displayed on the lock screen of the device.
- The display on the lock screen can show either the amount of use or the frequency of unlocks during the specified period of time.
Potential applications of this technology:
- User behavior analysis: The method can be used to analyze user behavior patterns by tracking the amount of use or frequency of unlocks of the display screen. This information can be valuable for market research or user experience optimization.
- Screen time monitoring: The method can be used to monitor and track the amount of time users spend on their devices. This can be useful for parents or individuals who want to manage their screen time and reduce excessive usage.
- Security enhancement: Displaying the amount of use or frequency of unlocks on the lock screen can provide users with a quick overview of their device's activity. This can help detect any unauthorized access or suspicious behavior.
Problems solved by this technology:
- Lack of awareness: Users may not be aware of how much time they spend on their devices or how frequently they unlock the screen. This method provides a visual representation of this information, increasing user awareness.
- Screen time management: Excessive screen time can have negative effects on productivity, health, and well-being. By displaying the amount of use or frequency of unlocks, users can better manage their screen time and make conscious decisions to reduce usage if desired.
Benefits of this technology:
- User awareness: The method increases user awareness of their device usage by providing visual feedback on the lock screen. This can help users make more informed decisions about their screen time.
- Improved security: Displaying the amount of use or frequency of unlocks on the lock screen allows users to quickly identify any unusual activity or potential security breaches.
- Personalized experience: The method allows users to customize their lock screen display by choosing to show either the amount of use or the frequency of unlocks, providing a personalized experience.
