For example, a first user (e.g., adult) of a computing device can allow a second user (e.g., child) to use the former's device; however, the first user might not want the second user to have access to all of the elements on the device, and so the first user can select which elements he/she wants to share with the second user and which elements he/she does not want to share. For example, the first user can select elements and choose to lock the selected elements, lock all other elements, lock the selected elements for a certain period of time, or lock the selected elements but allow for earned usage, etc. The lock can be removed in response to an unlock event, which can comprise a user-initiated unlock, a timed unlock, or a user-earned locked."},"analysis":{"summary":null,"layman_explanation":null,"technical_analysis":null,"business_analysis":null,"faqs":null,"topics":[],"tech_cluster":null},"seo":{"title":"Quick usage control","description":"One or more elements on a computing device can be selected and locked from use.
