    Abstract: The present technology pertains to a technique for updating an application; the technique seeks to select when to install the update to minimize interrupting a user experience with the application. For example, a system can download an update for the application and obtain an activity flag. This activity flag can indicate that the application will interrupt the user. The system can set the flag based on identifying a match between a flow profile and a current operative flow. The flow profile can be predefined and specify one or more user engagements. The operative flow can be identified based on a detection of one or more current user engagements with the application.

    Abstract: The present technology pertains to a technique for responding to a crash of an application. The technique includes detecting a crash of an application running on the computing system, selecting a crash response for the application based on engagement status information for a flow profile comprising one or more user signals associated with the application, and implementing the instructions of the crash response.

    Abstract: A sending computing device encodes data items as barcodes and simultaneously displays two or more barcodes on a first display screen of, or operatively coupled to, the sending computing device. A receiving computing device obtains the two or more barcodes from a single video frame captured by a first camera module of, or operatively coupled to, the receiving computing device. Furthermore, the receiving computing device encodes, as an acknowledgement barcode, an acknowledgement that identifies each barcode that was successfully received and displays the acknowledgement barcode on a second display screen of, or operatively coupled to, the receiving computing device. The sending computing device captures the acknowledgement barcode via a second camera module of, or operatively coupled to, the sending computing device. Based on the acknowledgement barcode, the sending computing device determines which of the data items were or were not successfully received by the receiving computing device.
