This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18140541 titled 'LIVE SESSIONS ON LOCK SCREEN

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes a system and method for displaying live sessions on the lock screens of electronic devices.

  • An application process provides a user interface template to a system process on a computing device.
  • The user interface template defines specific regions of a user interface view.
  • The system process receives additional data.
  • The system process renders the user interface view on the lock screen of the computing device, incorporating the additional data into the predefined regions.

Potential Applications

  • Live streaming of events or sessions on the lock screens of smartphones or tablets.
  • Displaying real-time information or updates on the lock screens of electronic devices.
  • Providing interactive content or notifications on the lock screens.

Problems Solved

  • Users can access live sessions or receive real-time information without unlocking their devices or opening specific applications.
  • Provides a convenient and efficient way to engage with content or receive updates without interrupting the user's current activity.

Benefits

  • Increased convenience as users can quickly access live sessions or receive updates without navigating through multiple screens or applications.
  • Improved efficiency as users can interact with content or receive notifications without unlocking their devices.


Original Abstract Submitted

Systems and methods for presenting live sessions on electronic device lock screens are disclosed. In one or more implementations, an application process provides, to a system process executing on a computing device, a user interface template, wherein the user interface template defines one or more pre-defined regions of a user interface view. The system process may subsequently receive additional data. The system process may render the user interface view on a lock screen of the computing device according to the user interface template, wherein the user interface view comprises the additional data included in the one or more pre-defined regions.
