USER INTERFACE ADJUSTMENT METHODS AND SYSTEMS
First Claim
1. A method for adjusting a user interface based upon an orientation of an input object associated with a user, comprising:
- receiving an input, provided by an input object associated with a user, for a device;
evaluating the input to determine an orientation of the input object; and
adjusting a user interface displayed by the device based upon the orientation of the input object.

Abstract
One or more systems and/or methods for adjusting a user interface based upon an orientation of an input object are provided. An input provided by an input object (e.g., a hand of the user) may be received through a display of a device (e.g., a touchscreen display of a smartphone). The input may comprises gesture data corresponding to a gesture performed relative to the display. The input may be evaluated to determine an orientation, such as a hand orientation, of the input object. In an example, curvature associated with the gesture may be evaluated to determine the orientation of the input object. A user interface displayed by the device may be adjusted based upon the orientation of the input object. In an example, a location, a size, an appearance, an output, and/or a functionality of a user interface element displayed within the user interface may be adjusted.

17. A system for adjusting a user interface based upon a hand orientation of a user, comprising:
an adjustment component configured to; receive an input from a user through a display of a device, the input corresponding to a gesture performed by the user; evaluate curvature of the gesture to determine a hand orientation of the user; identify a primary accessibility area for a user interface; and adjust the user interface based upon the hand orientation of the user and the primary accessibility area. - View Dependent Claims (18)

19. A non-transitory computer readable medium comprising computer executable instructions that when executed by a processor perform a method for adjusting a user interface, comprising:
-
receiving an input from a user through a touchscreen display of a device, the input comprising gesture data corresponding to a gesture performed on the touchscreen display; evaluating the gesture data to determine a hand orientation; identifying a primary accessibility area for a user interface displayed by the touchscreen display based upon the hand orientation; and adjusting a user interface element within the user interface based upon the hand orientation of the user and the primary accessibility area of the user interface, wherein adjusting the user interface element comprises adjusting at least one of a position, a size, an appearance, an output, or a functionality of the user interface element. - View Dependent Claims (20)
