Device interrogation framework

摘要

A system provides support for a device interrogation framework. The system may include an electronic device and an application server. The electronic device may perform a device interrogation to identify one or more device characteristics, and adaptively disable one or more application functions of a software application according to the device characteristics. For example, the electronic device may send the device characteristics to the application server, and the application server may apply a set of feature support criteria to determine particular application functions to enable or disable on the electronic device. The application server may send a compatibility determination to the electronic device specifying which application functions of the software application to disable.

主权项

1. A method comprising:
in an electronic device: receiving a feature support criteria request, from the software application, identifying electronic device criterion for implementing a target feature; initiating a software application; analyzing the feature support criteria request; determining the feature support criteria request does not include a missing electronic device criterion corresponding to a performance of an electronic device component for implementing the target feature; in response to determining the feature support criteria request does not include the missing electronic device criterion, performing a device interrogation to identify a device characteristic of the electronic device corresponding to the missing electronic device criterion; assessing whether the device characteristic of the electronic device would adversely affect a particular function of the software application; and disabling the particular function, while maintaining implementation of other functions of the software application, in response to an assessment that the device characteristic would adversely affect the particular function.
