Abstract
Method and system for automatically determining a user interface configuration, operation and content of a computing or telecommunication device based upon user biometrics. The invention teaches a method of capturing and determining at least one user biometric based upon which, a logic engine determines the appearance or configuration apparent to the user of a user interface, the means of operation of such interface, and the content provided to such interface. Biometrics may be other than those needed or used for determining the identity of a user. A device may be a computer, a wireless device including an instrument or communication device, a television, a kiosk or a vehicle equipped with biometric sensing and computing devices. The invention pertains to providing biometrically-driven, customizable user interfaces and content for such items as kiosks, communication devices, Internet-interactive devices, electronic signs and digital television that are equipped or networked with biometric data capture means. Thus, devices may be reconfigured automatically to better suit the age, sex, physical and other attributes of user in their interaction with a device without active provision of information by a user.
