Abstract

A subset of functionality associated with an application or portion of an application can be executed above a lock screen. A lock screen enables a device to transition from a locked state to an unlocked state. While in a locked state, at least a subset of application functionality can be deployed. Additional functionality associated with the application can be accessed by transitioning to an unlocked state.
