[0015] Overview

[0016] As noted, interruptions can be problematic for users of interactive applications, such as video games, augmented reality applications, or other applications where the user frequently provides input to control the application. For online applications, a network outage between the user device and the application server can cause the application server to receive inputs too late to effectively use them to control the online application. Additionally, network outages can cause the user device to receive output from the application server, such as video or audio output, too late for the user to respond effectively. In either case, the app experience is affected.

[0017] A basic method for addressing application outages is to continue using the most recent input received before the outage began during the outage. However, this approach can negatively impact the user's app experience. For example, recent input may cause negative or unexpected results in t...

Abstract

This document relates to techniques for addressing interrupts that prevent an application from receiving user input, prevent a user from providing input to an application, and / or prevent or affect the user from receiving application output. One example method involves detecting an interruption of an interactive application during interaction with the interactive application by a user, generating an automatic user input, and providing the automatic user input to the interactive application during the interruption of the interactive application.

Description

Background technique [0001] In many computing environments, interruptions are problematic. For example, when the user is playing a video game or using another type of interactive application over the network, a network outage can cause the interactive application to become unresponsive to the user's input. Interruptions can also be non-technical in nature, such as when a user is interrupted by a family member or friend. Automated efforts to address such interruptions have had limited success. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION [0002] This Summary is provided to introduce in a simplified form some concepts that are further described below in the Detailed Description. This Summary is not intended to identify key features or essential features of the claimed subject matter, nor is it intended to be used to limit the scope of the claimed subject matter. [0003] The description generally relates to techniques for addressing interruptions that prevent applications from receiving user ...
