Abstract

Claims (29)

1 . A computing device comprising:

one or more processors;

a memory to store a set of instructions;

wherein the one or more processors execute the set of instructions to perform operations that include:

receiving, over one or more networks, configuration data, the configuration data specifying a condition for a device application that executes on the computing device to configure a feature for how a network service is provided by the device application;

determining whether the condition is satisfied based on a set of data obtained by the computing device; and

in response to determining that the condition is satisfied, implementing the feature, including toggling the feature on or off, based on the configuration data.

2 . The computing device of claim 1 , wherein the set of data includes location data determined from a location detection mechanism component of the computing device.

3 . The computing device of claim 1 , wherein the set of data includes at least one of a time or day.

4 . The computing device of claim 1 , wherein the feature is an attribute of a graphical user interface that is presented on a display of the computing device by the device application.

5 . The computing device of claim 1 , wherein the feature is implemented based on real-time data that is continuously transmitted from the device application, reverting the feature back to its previous state once the transmitted real-time data no longer satisfies the condition specified.

6 . The computing device of claim 1 , wherein the feature is implemented on a user interface of the device application on the computing device in an active or inactive state, the state based on the condition specified.

7 . The computing device of claim 1 , wherein the feature is implemented on the computing device in an active or inactive state, the state corresponding to the condition specified by an on-demand service system.

8 . The computing device of claim 1 , wherein the feature limits an attribute for utilizing the network service.

9 . A non-transitory computer-readable medium that stores instructions, which when executed by one or more processors of a computing device, cause the computing device to perform operations comprising:

receiving, over one or more networks, configuration data, the configuration data specifying a condition for a device application that executes on the computing device to configure a feature for how a network service is provided by the device application;

determining whether the condition is satisfied based on a set of data obtained by the computing device; and

in response to determining that the condition is satisfied, implementing the feature, including toggling the feature on or off, based on the configuration data.

10 . The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 9 , wherein the set of data includes location data determined from a location detection mechanism component of the computing device.

11 . The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 9 , wherein the set of data includes at least one of a time or day.

12 . The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 9 , wherein the feature is an attribute of a graphical user interface that is presented on a display of the computing device by the device application.

13 . The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 9 , wherein the feature is implemented based on real-time data that is continuously transmitted from the device application, reverting the feature back to its previous state once the transmitted real-time data no longer satisfies the condition specified.

14 . The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 9 , wherein the feature is implemented on a user interface of the device application on the computing device in an active or inactive state, the state based on the condition specified.

15 . The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 9 , wherein the feature is implemented on the computing device in an active or inactive state, the state corresponding to the condition specified by an on-demand service system.

16 . The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 9 , wherein the feature limits an attribute for utilizing the network service.

17 . A computer-implemented method comprising:

receiving configuration data, the configuration data specifying a condition for a device application that executes on a computing device to configure a feature for how a network service is provided by the device application;

determining, based on sensor information, whether the condition is satisfied; and

in response to determining that the condition is satisfied, implementing the feature, including toggling the feature on or off, based on the configuration data.
