INTERFACE ADAPTATION SYSTEM
First Claim
1. A system for automatically adapting a user interface (UI) of a device, comprising:
- a sensor component that collects data regarding physical interaction with the device, the collected data comprising;
a physical position of the interacting object, a size of the interacting object, a spatial configuration of the interacting object and an orientation of the device;
a memory that stores the collected data; and
an adaptation component that analyzes the collected data and modifies the UI to optimize interaction with the device as a function of the data.

Abstract
The invention relates to a system and method for automatically adapting a user interface for a computer operated device in response to the manner in which the device is physically operated and the conditions surrounding operation. The system provides sensors on or within a device in order to detect the physical position, identity, or orientation of an object used for interfacing with the device. The orientation of the device and the environmental conditions around the device are also determined. In turn, the system adapts the interactive control or input elements and/or the non-interactive elements of the UI in order to optimize usability of the device.
