determination of a first program interaction profile for the program based, at least in part, on the first display region;

generation of the first program interaction screen based, at least in part, on the first program interaction profile;

causation of display of the first program interaction screen at a position that corresponds with the first display region;

receipt of information indicative of a program interaction screen transfer input;

determination of a second display region in which to display a second program interaction screen associated with the program based, at least in part, on the interaction screen transfer input;

determination of a second program interaction profile for the program based, at least in part, on the second display region;

generation of the second program interaction screen based, at least in part, on the second program interaction profile; and

causation of display of the second program interaction screen at a position that corresponds with the second display region.

2. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein the first program interaction profile comprises a first program control interaction profile, and generation of the first program interaction screen is based, at least in part, on the first program control interaction profile.

3. The apparatus of claim 2, wherein the generation of the first program interaction screen comprises determination that the first program control interaction profile designates configuration of an operation, the generation of the first program interaction screen is performed such that the first program interaction screen comprises a control interaction element that is configured to invoke the operation, the second program interaction profile comprises a second program control interaction profile, and generation of the second program interaction screen is based, at least in part, on the second program control interaction profile.

4. The apparatus of claim 3, wherein the generation of the second program interaction screen comprises determination that the second program control interaction profile designates preclusion of the operation, and the generation of the second program interaction screen is performed such that the second program interaction screen excludes the control interaction element that is configured to invoke the operation.

5. The apparatus of claim 2, wherein the generation of the first program interaction screen comprises determination that the first program control interaction profile designates preclusion of an operation, and the generation of the first program interaction screen is performed such that the first program interaction screen excludes a control interaction element that is configured to invoke the operation.

6. The apparatus of claim 5, wherein the second program interaction profile comprises a second program control interaction profile, and generation of the second program interaction screen is based, at least in part, on the second program control interaction profile.

7. The apparatus of claim 6, wherein the generation of the second program interaction screen comprises determination that the second program control interaction profile designates configuration of the operation, and the generation of the second program interaction screen is performed such that the second program interaction screen comprises the control interaction element that is configured to invoke the operation.

8. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein the memory includes computer program code configured to, working with the processor, cause the apparatus to perform:

determination of a user identity of a user that is at a location that correlates with the second display region, wherein the determination of the second program interaction profile for the program is based, at least in part, on the user identity.

9. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein the apparatus comprises a display.

10. A method comprising:

determining a first display region in which to display a first program interaction screen associated with a program;

determining a first program interaction profile for the program based, at least in part, on the first display region;

generating the first program interaction screen based, at least in part, on the first program interaction profile;

causing display of the first program interaction screen at a position that corresponds with the first display region;

receiving information indicative of a program interaction screen transfer input;

determining a second display region in which to display a second program interaction screen associated with the program based, at least in part, on the interaction screen transfer input;

determining a second program interaction profile for the program based, at least in part, on the second display region;

14. The method of claim 11, wherein generating first program interaction screen comprises determining that the first program control interaction profile designates preclusion of an operation, and the generation of the first program interaction screen is performed such that the first program interaction screen excludes a control interaction element that is configured to invoke the operation.

15. The method of claim 14, wherein the second program interaction profile comprises a second program control interaction profile, and generating the second program interaction screen is based, at least in part, on the second program control interaction profile.

16.
