Abstract

Providing an automatic detection and an optimization of user experience upgrades based on detected customization may be described. A new version of an application may be executed on a computing device in conjunction with a detection services. The new version of the application may include user experience changes. Customizations associated with a user experience of a previous version of the application for users may be determined. In response to a determination that at least one customized feature of the previous version of the application is incompatible with the new version of the application, the user experience of the previous version of the application may be provided to the users. In response to a determination that the customizations of the previous version of the application are compatible with the new version of the application, the user experience of the new version of the application may be provided to the users.

Claims20

Dependent claims

A server to provide an automatic detection and an optimization of user-experience upgrades based on detected customization, the server comprising:

a communication module configured to facilitate an exchange of communication between a detection service and a plurality of client applications;
a memory to store instructions;
and
a processor coupled to the -communication module and the memory, the processor configured to execute, in conjunction with the instructions stored in the memory, the detection service and an optimization engine integrated with the detection service, wherein the optimization engine is configured to:
detect a deployment of a new version of an application executed on a computing device in conj unction with the detection service, wherein the ne w version of the application includes user experience changes;
determine customizations associated, with a user experience of a previous version of the application for one or more users;
determine if at least one customized feature of the previous version of the application is incompatible with the new version of the application;
in response to a determination that the at least one customized feature of the previous version of the application is incompatible with the new version of the application, provide the user experience of the previous version of the application to the one or more users;
and
in response to a determination that the customizations of the previous version of the application are compatible with the new version of the application, provide the user experience of the new version of the application to the one or more users.

7 more elements

A method executed on a computing device to provide an automatic detection and an optimization of user experience upgrades based on detected customization, the method comprising:

detecting a deployment of a new version of an application executed on the computing device that includes user experience changes;
determining customizations associated with a user experience of a previous version of the application for one or more users, wherein the customizations are at one of a user level, a group level, and an enterprise level;
determining if at least one customized feature of the previous version of the application is incompatible with the new version of the application;
in response to a determination that the at least one customized feature of the previous version of the application is incompatible with the new version of the application, providing the user experience of the previous version of the application to the one or more users;
and
in response to a determination that the customizations of the previous version of the application are compatible with the new version of the application, providing the user experience of the new version of the application to the one or more users.

3 more elements

A computing device to provide an automatic detection and an optimization of user experience upgrades based on detected customization, the computing device comprising:

a memory configured to store instructions;
and
one or more processors coupled to the memory, the one or more processors configured to execute, in conjunction with the instructions stored in the memory, an application associated with, a detection service, wherein the application is configured to:
detect a deployment of a new version of the application that includes user experience changes;
determine customizations associated with a user experience of a previous version of the application for one or more users, wherein the customizations are at one of a user level, a group level and an enterprise level;
determine if at least one customized feature of the previous version of the application is incompatible with the new version of the application;
in response to a determination that the at least one customized feature of the previous version of the application is incompatible with the new version of the application, provide the user experience of the previous version of the application to the one or more users;
and
in response to a determination that the customizations of the previous version of the application are compatible with the new version of the application, provide the user experience of the new version of the application to the one or more users.
