Abstract
One embodiment provides a method, including: receiving, at an information handling device, a command from a user to load an application; determining, using a processor, whether a forecasted loading time for the application exceeds a loading tolerance threshold associated with the user; and providing, responsive to determining that the forecasted loading time exceeds the loading tolerance threshold, a reduced view of the application during a time period that the application is loading. Other aspects are described and claimed.
Claims18
A method, comprising:
- receiving, at an information handling device having a particular device type, a command from a user to load an application;
- identifying a forecasted loading time for the application, wherein the identifying the forecasted loading time comprises:
- accessing a data store comprising a record of previous loading times for the application, wherein the record of previous loading times is based upon previous loading times across a predetermined number of users using the particular device type;
- determining an average of the previous loading times based upon the application and the particular device type;
- and
- identifying the forecasted loading time as the average;
- identifying, using a processor of the information handling device, a loading tolerance threshold associated with a user, wherein the loading tolerance threshold is designated by the user for the application;
- determining, using the processor, a forecasted loading time for the application exceeds the loading tolerance threshold;
- and
- providing, responsive to determining the forecasted loading time exceeds the loading tolerance threshold, a reduced view of the application on a portion of a display screen of the information handling device during a time period that the application is loading, wherein an application loading progress indicator is presented within the reduced view, wherein a remaining portion of the display screen other than the portion of a display screen is accessible by the user during the time period.

An information handling device, comprising:
- a processor;
- a memory device that stores instructions executable by the processor to:
- receive a command from a user to load an application upon a particular device type;
- identify a forecasted loading time for the application, wherein the instructions executable by the processor to identify the forecasted loading time comprise instructions executable by the processor to:
- access a data store comprising a record of previous loading times for the application, wherein the record of previous loading times is based upon previous loading times across a predetermined number of users using the particular device type;
- determine an average of the previous loading times based upon the application and the particular device type;
- and
- identifying the forecasted loading time as the average;
- identify a loading tolerance threshold associated with a user, wherein the loading tolerance threshold is designated by the user for the application;
- determine a forecasted loading time for the application exceeds the loading tolerance threshold;
- and
- provide, responsive to determining the forecasted loading time exceeds the loading tolerance threshold, a reduced view of the application on the information handling device during a time period that the application is loading, wherein an application loading progress indicator is presented within the reduced view, wherein a remaining portion of the display screen other than the portion of a display screen is accessible by the user during the time period.

A product, comprising:
- a storage device that stores code, the code being executable by a processor and comprising:
- code that receives a command from a user to load an application upon a particular device type;
- code that identifies a forecasted loading time for the application, wherein the code that identifies the forecasted loading time comprises code that:
- accesses a data store comprising a record of previous loading times for the application, wherein the record of previous loading times is based upon previous loading times of each across a predetermined number of users using the particular device type;
- determine an average of the previous loading times based upon the application and the particular device type;
- and
- identifying the forecasted loading time as with the average;
- code that identifies a loading tolerance threshold associated with a user, wherein the loading tolerance threshold is designated by the user for the application;
- code that determines a forecasted loading time for the application exceeds the loading tolerance threshold;
- and
- code that provides, responsive to determining the forecasted loading time exceeds the loading tolerance threshold, a reduced view of the application during a time period that the application is loading, wherein an application loading progress indicator is presented within the reduced view, wherein a remaining portion of the display screen other than the portion of a display screen is accessible by the user during the time period.
