Application Crash Management via Dynamic User Grouping

The patent applies local quality by differentiating the treatment of users based on their crash experience. Instead of uniformly disabling the feature for all users, the system identifies a specific subgroup (high crash user group) and applies the feature disablement only to them. This localized approach maintains application reliability for affected users while preserving feature functionality for the majority of users who do not experience crashes, thereby optimizing resource allocation and reducing unnecessary complexity.

The patent implements dynamics by making the feature availability conditional and changeable based on user experience over time. Users are dynamically moved into the high crash user group when they experience crashes, resulting in feature disablement. However, if they stop experiencing crashes, they are eventually removed from the group and regain access to the feature. This dynamic adjustment balances crash reduction with user engagement, allowing users to benefit from the feature when it works properly while protecting them when it causes issues.

The patent applies the taking out principle by extracting and isolating the crash-related data from the overall application data. The system specifically identifies and tracks crash events, separating them from other application operations. This extraction allows for precise measurement of crash frequency and patterns without requiring comprehensive analysis of all application activities, thereby reducing the overall measurement precision requirements while maintaining effective crash management through focused data collection on crash-specific metrics.
