Embodiment Construction

[0023] Figure 1A is a block diagram of a system that can be used to provide a kiosk model. System 100 may include at least one device 110 and at least one management console 140 interconnected by at least one network 120 . Device 110 may be a computer, smartphone, laptop, or similar device that executes a user interface, downloads, and executes software applications, and communicates with network 120 . In some implementations, as described in more detail below, the device may include a camera / microphone dongle with input / output ports. Device 110 includes an operating system 112 and may include applications 114 . Applications can be packaged applications or web applications, and can be downloaded from a web or digital store.

[0024] In this context, a "web application" may be an application configured to perform a single task or multiple tasks for a user. In such implementations, the web application may be configured to be executed or interpreted by a web browser, or direc...

Abstract

A method includes transforming a mode of a computer from an operating system mode to a kiosk mode, wherein the kiosk mode provides a user interface for one web application, and wherein the kiosk mode prevents access to any other application or the operating system of the computer. The computer automatically updates the web application via a network while the computer is operating in kiosk mode, and automatically updates an operating system of the computer via the network while the computer is operating in kiosk mode. The computer automatically relaunches the web application in response to detecting an interrupted status of the web application while the computer is operating in kiosk mode.

Description
