Systems and methods for adjusting application functionality to resource constraints

A system comprising:

• an identification module, stored in memory, that identifies an application, on an electronic device, with a minimum requirement for a resource of the electronic device;
• a determination module, stored in memory, that determines that an available amount of the resource of the electronic device does not meet the minimum requirement of the application;
• a selection module, stored in memory, that selects, based on the determination, an alternative user-interface mode of the application with a lower minimum requirement for the resource;
• an instantiation module, stored in memory, that instantiates the alternative user-interface mode of the application;
• and
• at least one processor that executes the identification module, the determination module, the selection module, and the instantiation module.

A computer-readable medium comprising one or more computer-executable instructions that, when executed by at least one processor of a computing device, cause the computing device to:

• identify an application, on an electronic device, with a minimum requirement for a resource of the electronic device;
• determine that an available amount of the resource of the electronic device does not meet the minimum requirement of the application;
• select, based on the determination, an alternative user-interface mode of the application with a lower minimum requirement for the resource;
• and
• instantiate the alternative user-interface mode of the application.
