Abstract: A reservation system associated with an app installed on a user device can be used to regulate access to network-based features of a primary software service offered by the app. Network-based features can include providing access to online content items. Regulating access to these features can prevent overloading the backend service components that provide the network-based features. Growing the user base in a controlled fashion can benefit the user experience. A waitlist with a countdown can be used for users that have installed the app, but who are not yet allowed access to the network-based features of the primary software service. A user interface can display a reservation status (e.g., how many people are in front of the user in line, how many people are behind the user in line, and the like). This can increase user anticipation of the app features and reduce user attrition.

Abstract translation: 可以使用与安装在用户设备上的应用相关联的预订系统来规范对由应用提供的主要软件服务的基于网络的功能的访问。 基于网络的功能可以包括提供对在线内容项的访问。 调整对这些功能的访问可以防止超负载提供基于网络的功能的后端服务组件。 以受控的方式增长用户群将有利于用户体验。 具有倒计时功能的等待列表可用于已安装该应用程序的用户，但尚未允许访问主要软件服务的基于网络的功能。 用户界面可以显示预约状态（例如，在线用户之前有多少人，在线后面的用户数量等）。 这可以增加用户对应用程序功能的预期，并减少用户的损耗。
