Methods, systems, and computer program products for providing a user interaction model for use by a device
First Claim
1. A method for providing a user interaction model for use by a device to match the capabilities of a display connected to the device or an input interface used by the device, the method comprising:
- receiving an indication to use at least one of a display and an input interface usable by a device;
detecting a characteristic of the at least one of the display and the input interface;
determining a user interaction model from a plurality of user interaction models based on the characteristic; and
activating the user interaction model for use with the at least one of the display and the input interface.

Abstract
Methods, systems, and computer program products for providing a user interaction model for use by a device to match the capabilities of a display connected to the device or an input interface used by the device are disclosed. According to one aspect, an indication to use at least one of a display and an input interface usable by a device is received. Further, a characteristic of at least one of the display and the input interface is detected. A user interaction model may be determined from a plurality of user interaction models based on the characteristic. Further, the user interaction model may be activated for use with one of the connected display and the input interface.
