First Claim
1. A method for automatically adjusting orientations of elements displayed on an interactive touch-screen display device, the method comprising:
- initially displaying an element on the interactive touch-screen display device with an initial orientation relative to the interactive touch-screen display device;
capturing one or more images of a user of the interactive touch-screen display device;
determining that the user is interacting with the element displayed on the interactive touch-screen display device;
determining an orientation of the user relative to the interactive touch-screen display device based on at least one captured image of the user of the interactive touch-screen display device; and
in response to determining that the user is interacting with the displayed element, automatically adjusting the initial orientation of the displayed element relative to the interactive touch-screen display device based on the determined orientation of the user relative to the interactive touch-screen display device.

Abstract
An element is initially displayed on an interactive touch-screen display device with an initial orientation relative to the interactive touch-screen display device. One or more images of a user of the interactive touch-screen display device are captured. The user is determined to be interacting with the element displayed on the interactive touch-screen display device. In addition, an orientation of the user relative to the interactive touch-screen display device is determined based on at least one captured image of the user of the interactive touch-screen display device. Thereafter, in response to determining that the user is interacting with the displayed element, the initial orientation of the displayed element relative to the interactive touch-screen display device is automatically adjusted based on the determined orientation of the user relative to the interactive touch-screen display device.

20. A system comprising:
-
an interactive touch-screen display device; a camera configured to capture images of one or more users of the interactive touch-screen display device; and a processing unit that is configured to; cause a display of an element on the interactive touch-screen display device with an initial orientation relative to the interactive touch-screen display device; determine that a user is interacting with the element displayed on the interactive touch-screen display device; determine an orientation of the user relative to the interactive touch-screen display device based on at least one image of the user of the interactive touch-screen display device captured by the camera; and automatically adjust the initial orientation of the displayed element relative to the interactive touch-screen display device based on the determined orientation of the user relative to the interactive touch-screen display device and in response to a determination that the user is interacting with the displayed element.
