Application Launch Delay Handling with Voice Notifications
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing electronic devices face challenges in efficiently managing application launch delays and notifications across various devices, particularly in scenarios where companion applications are not installed or when user account associations are required, leading to complexities in enabling applications on voice interface devices.
Innovation Solution
A system and method for managing application launch delays and notifications, which involves determining the presence of companion applications, validating URLs, handling user account logins, and sending notifications to voice interface devices, including options for 'try it now' or 'try it later' functionalities, with account association pages for sensitive applications, and using speech-processing systems for audio notifications.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If the system delays application launch to handle account associations and validations, then the reliability of application enabling is improved, but the time required for application launch increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs account associations, URL validations, and companion application checks before the application launch is initiated. By completing these prerequisites in advance, the system ensures reliable application enabling while minimizing the actual launch delay experienced by the user.
Solution Approach 2:
The application launch process is divided into multiple stages: preliminary validation stage (account association, URL validation), notification stage (informing user of delay), and execution stage (actual application launch). This segmentation allows the system to handle complex validations without creating a single long waiting period.
2Ease of operation
If the system sends notifications about launch delays to voice interface devices, then the user experience is improved, but the device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system uses speech-processing systems and notification components as intermediaries to communicate launch delay information to users through voice interface devices. This intermediary layer handles the complexity of multi-device coordination and notification management, keeping the core application launch logic simple while providing enhanced user experience.
3Reliability
If the system validates URLs and checks for companion applications before launching, then the reliability of application execution is improved, but the time required for preparation increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs URL validations and companion application presence checks as preliminary actions before initiating the application launch sequence. These validations are executed in the background during the notification phase, ensuring execution reliability without extending the user-perceived launch time.
Solution Approach 2:
The system provides feedback to users about the status of URL validations and companion application checks through notifications. This feedback mechanism allows users to understand what preparations are ongoing and when the application will launch, reducing the perceived wait time while maintaining thorough validation.
Data Source
AI summary
Systems and methods for application launch delays and notifications are disclosed. For example, a URL link to enable an application may be selected on a user device, and a user interface allowing the user to enable the application at a current time or at a future time may be displayed. When the user input indicates selection of the future time, a notification may be generated and provided to the user device and/or the voice interface device. The voice interface device may output the notification and, when user input indicates an intent to enable the application, the application may be enabled for use by the voice interface device.
