Abstract
A processing device is described storing instructions defining a first application and a second application. Engagement of the second application by a user is effective to generate one or more rewards for use in the first application. The processing device further stores instructions separate from the second application defining a monitoring module and a reward generating module. The monitoring module is operable to determine a measure of an engagement of the second application by the user. The reward generating module is operable to calculate one or more rewards in dependence upon the determined measure of engagement and to make the calculated one or more rewards available for use in the first application.
Claims68
A processing device storing instructions defining a first application and a second application, engagement of the second application by a user being effective to generate one or more rewards for use in the first application, wherein the processing device further stores instructions separate from the second application defining:
- a monitoring module operable to determine a measure of an engagement of the second application by the user;
- and
- a reward generating module operable to calculate one or more rewards in dependence upon the determined measure of engagement and to make the calculated one or more rewards available for use in the first application.
A method of generating rewards for use in a first application on a processing device in response to user engagement of a second application on the processing device, the method comprising:
- a monitoring module on the processing device that is separate from the second application determining a measure of an engagement of the second application by the user;
- and
- a reward generating module on the processing device that is separate from the second application calculating one or more rewards in dependence upon the determined measure of an engagement and making the calculated one or more rewards available for use in the first application.
A non-transitory storage medium storing computer program instructions which, when executed by a processing device that has first application instructions defining a first application and second application instructions, separate from the computer program instructions, defining a second application engagement of which by a user is effective to generate one or more rewards for use in the first application, cause the processing device to:
- determine a second application to be monitored;
- and
- determine a measure of an engagement of the determined second application by a user.
A method performed by the execution of monitoring instructions on a processing device that has first application instructions defining a first application and second application instructions, separate from the monitoring instructions, defining a second application engagement of which by a user is effective to generate one or more rewards for use in the first application, the method comprising:
- determining a second application to be monitored;
- and
- determining a measure of an engagement of the determined second application by a user.
