Abstract

A processor of a client device attempts to load a service using a first application that is pre-configured to communicate with a provider of the service during an initial loading of the first application. The processor determines that the first application has failed to load the service and responsively re-attempts to load the service using the first application. In response to determining that the first application has again failed to load the service during the re-attempt, the processor launches a second application that is not pre-configured to communicate with the provider during an initial loading of the second application. The processor retrieves, using the second application, from the provider, parameters for loading the service, and loads the service, using the second application, based on the parameters.

Dependent claims

A method comprising:

attempting to load, on a client device, a first application for execution on the client device, the first application being pre-configured to communicate with a provider for providing a service to a user of the client device;
determining that the first application has failed to load;
in response to determining that the first application has failed to load, loading, on the client device, a second application with a reference to the provider to provide the service, the reference being supplied by the first application to the second application and including an address of the provider, the second application comprising browser application functionality and not being pre-configured to provide the service;
retrieving, using the second application, from the provider, parameters for providing the service;
and
providing the service, using the second application, based on the parameters.

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing executable computer program code that, when executed by one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to perform operations comprising:

attempting to load, on a client device, a first application for execution on the client device, the first application being pre-configured to communicate with a provider for providing a service to a user of the client device;
determining that the first application has failed to load;
in response to determining that the first application has failed to load, loading, on the client device, a second application with a reference to the provider to provide the service, the reference being supplied by the first application to the second application and including an address of the provider, the second application comprising browser application functionality and not being pre-configured to provide the service;
retrieving, using the second application, from the provider, parameters for providing the service;
and
providing the service, using the second application, based on the parameters.

3 more elements

A system comprising:

a processor configured to execute instructions;
and
a non-transitory computer-readable medium having instructions executable by the processor to perform operations of:
attempting to load, on a client device, a first application for execution on the client device, the first application being pre-configured to communicate with a provider for providing a service to a user of the client device;
determining that the first application has failed to load;
in response to determining that the first application has failed to load, loading, on the client device, a second application with a reference to the provider to provide the service, the reference being supplied by the first application to the second application and including an address of the provider, the second application comprising browser application functionality and not being pre-configured to provide the service;
retrieving, using the second application, from the provider, parameters for providing the service;
and
providing the service, using the second application, based on the parameters.
