发明名称 Application unlock
摘要 Techniques are provided for controlling access to an application. A first request to use an application may be received from a first user and an application access rule associated with the first user may be accessed. Based on the application access rule, it may be determined that permission is required for the first user to use the application. In response, a second request may be sent to a second user requesting permission for the first user to use the application and a response to the second request may be received from the second user. The response may include authorization information used in determining whether the first user has permission from the second user to use the application. In response to receiving the response from the second user, the first request to use the application initiated by the first user may be handled based on the authorization information.

主权项 1. A computer-implemented method for controlling access to an application, the method comprising the following operations performed by one or more processors: receiving a first request to use an application, the first request being initiated by a first user; accessing, from a database, an application access rule based on an identity of the first user; determining that permission is required for the first user to use the application based on the accessed application access rule; in response to determining that permission is required for the first user to use the application, sending a second request to a second user requesting permission for the first user to use the application; providing, to the second user, information related to the percentage of other users that have granted or denied permission to use the application for a person approximately the same age as the first user: receiving a response to the second request from the second user, the response including a restriction on a time of use for the application; and in response to receiving the response to the second request from the second user, enabling the first user to use the application for a period of time specified in the restriction on the time of use for the application.
