Abstract

A processor-implemented method and system are described. The method may include: providing, at a computing system associated with a resource domain, a resource consumption event management interface, the resource consumption event management interface including a first resource consumption event indicator associated with a first resource consumption event at the resource domain; detecting a touch gesture of a defined type applied to the first resource consumption event indicator; and in response to detecting the touch gesture of the defined type applied to the first resource consumption event indicator, recruiting a supplemental resource, based on a resource consumed during the first resource consumption event, to make the supplemental resource available to the resource domain.

Description

TECHNICAL FIELD The present application relates to resource consumption management systems and, more particularly, to methods and systems for recruiting a supplemental resource using a defined gesture. BACKGROUND In computing systems, resource consumption events sometimes occur, causing resources to be consumed. By way of example, such resource consumption events may consume processor cycles, memory and/or network resources, or other types of resources. Some such resource consumption events may cause a temporary drain in resources. It is often useful or desirable to manage resource consumption events and resource usage. It may, however, be difficult to do so on computing systems that have limited capabilities. For example, managing resource consumption events may be difficult on mobile computing devices or tablet-style computing devices, which may suffer from limited computing capabilities, including limited screen area. Often, it is necessary to manage such resource consumption events quickly to avoid compounding problems that occur due to resource-constraints that arise from such resource consumption events.
