METHODS AND SYSTEMS FOR POPULATING APPLICATION-SPECIFIC INFORMATION USING OVERLAY APPLICATIONS - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18509971 titled 'METHODS AND SYSTEMS FOR POPULATING APPLICATION-SPECIFIC INFORMATION USING OVERLAY APPLICATIONS
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes methods and systems for automatically populating application-specific information using overlay applications on mobile devices with small screen sizes and limited input mechanisms.
- Overlay applications automatically populate application-specific information
- Accessible while using another application or scrolling through other applications
Potential Applications
This technology could be applied in various fields such as:
- Mobile applications
- Data entry applications
- Productivity tools
Problems Solved
This technology addresses the following issues:
- Difficulties in inputting information on mobile devices with small screens
- Lack of dedicated input mechanisms on certain devices
Benefits
The benefits of this technology include:
- Improved user experience
- Increased efficiency in data input
- Enhanced usability of mobile applications
Potential Commercial Applications
This technology could be commercially benefit in industries such as:
- Mobile app development
- Data management software
- User interface design
Possible Prior Art
One possible prior art for this technology could be voice recognition software used for data input on mobile devices.
What are the technical specifications of the overlay application?
The technical specifications of the overlay application, such as compatibility with different operating systems and devices, are not detailed in the abstract.
How does the overlay application ensure data security and privacy?
The abstract does not mention how the overlay application handles data security and privacy concerns while automatically populating application-specific information.
Original Abstract Submitted
Methods and systems are described herein for populating application-specific information using overlay applications. For example, in order to relieve some of the difficulties users face in inputting information into mobile devices which may have smaller screen sizes and may not feature dedicated input mechanisms, the methods and systems described herein automatically populate application-specific information. The methods and systems do this using an application that presents an application overlay feature. That is, the application is accessible while a user is using another application (e.g., on the mobile device) and/or while a user is scrolling through other applications.
