Abstract
Apparatus and methods are provided for enabling a restricted multiple-application user experience via single-application (SA) modes. A plurality of SA applications on a computer device may be configured with SA modes. The SA mode of a running SA application may prevent all other applications from running. Multiple SA applications may be linked, enabling a user to navigate between the linked applications while being restricted by each SA application's SA mode. A link may involve a transfer event that deactivates the SA mode of a first SA application and exits the first SA application. A second SA application is then called, whereupon the SA mode of the second SA application is activated. One SA application may be configured as a dashboard application. The dashboard application may include a password dependent escape event. The escape event may deactivate the SA mode of the dashboard application and exit the restricted multiple-application experience.
