Abstract
A device identifies users who is trying to interact with it and monitors their state. Using this user state information, the device dynamically adjusts a user interface, speech grammars, screen flow, input options, and the like to tailor interaction with the device to the user. The user interface and device interaction may also be influenced by user-specific settings or profiles. The device may prevent or allow user interaction with the device based on the user'"'"'s state, such as a position relative to the device. For example, the device may prevent or allow the user from using a set of speech or gesture commands or other interaction sets based on the user'"'"'s position or relative location.

13. A method, comprising:
-
defining sets of interactions that can be used with a device, each set of interactions associated with a particular state of an operator; detecting an attempt to access the device by an operator; identifying the operator'"'"'s state; and selecting one of the sets of interactions based upon the operator'"'"'s state. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16, 17, 18)
