Embodiment Construction

[0023] Figure 1A is a block diagram of a system that can be used to provide a kiosk model. System 100 may include at least one device 110 and at least one management console 140 interconnected by at least one network 120 . Device 110 may be a computer, smartphone, laptop, or similar device that executes a user interface, downloads, and executes software applications, and communicates with network 120 . In some implementations, as described in more detail below, the device may include a camera / microphone dongle with input / output ports. Device 110 includes an operating system 112 and may include applications 114 . Applications can be packaged applications or web applications, and can be downloaded from a web or digital store.

[0024] In this context, a "web application" may be an application configured to perform a single task or multiple tasks for a user. In such implementations, the web application may be configured to be executed or interpreted by a web browser, or direc...

Abstract

A method includes transforming a mode of a computer from an operating system mode to a kiosk mode, wherein the kiosk mode provides a user interface for one web application, and wherein the kiosk mode prevents access to any other application or the operating system of the computer. The computer automatically updates the web application via a network while the computer is operating in kiosk mode, and automatically updates an operating system of the computer via the network while the computer is operating in kiosk mode. The computer automatically relaunches the web application in response to detecting an interrupted status of the web application while the computer is operating in kiosk mode.

Description

[0001] Cross References to Related Applications [0002] This application claims priority to and is a continuation of U.S. Nonprovisional Patent Application No. 13 / 892,673, filed May 13, 2013, entitled "KIOSK APPLICATION MODE FOROPERATING SYSTEM," which The disclosures of are incorporated herein by reference in their entirety. technical field [0003] The present disclosure relates generally to a kiosk application mode for an operating system of a computer. Background technique [0004] Developers want to develop very specialized systems. Examples of specialized systems include airline self-service kiosks, subway ticketing stations, or even fast food kiosks. Other examples include ambient displays, home automation, or single-purpose application devices. For example, an application developer for a game may want to produce a custom game console.
