Dynamically enabling features of an application based on user status

An apparatus, comprising:

• a processor configured to execute one or more processes and applications;
• and
• a memory configured to store
• a first application that when executed by the processor is operable to detect a user's activity and, based on the user's activity, determine a type of user status for the first application from among a plurality of different types of possible user status;
• a second application, the second application separate from the first application, and
• a feature set adjustment process that when executed by the processor is operable to
• determine one or more features of a feature set of the second application that correspond to the type of user status for the first application,
• limit the corresponding one or more features of the feature set of the second application to prevent the one or more features from interrupting the user's activity, and
• permit one or more other features of the feature set of the second application that do not correspond to the type of user status detected by the first application.

A non-transitory computer-readable media having software encoded thereon, the software when executed operable to:

• determine a type of user status for a first application, from among a plurality of different types of user status possible for the first application, by monitoring for one or more activated features of a feature set of the first application;
• determine one or more features of a feature set of a second application that correspond to the type of user status for the first application, the second application separate from the first application;
• adjust the corresponding one or more features of the feature set of the second application to prevent conflict with the activated features of the feature set of the first application;
• and
• permit absent adjustment one or more other features of the feature set of the second application that do not correspond to the type of user status for the first application.
