Abstract

A method for adjusting aspects of an application in a user interface is provided. A user profile is received, wherein the user profile corresponds to a first user of a mobile device. Data corresponding to an application is received, wherein the application is compatible with the mobile device. An application is determined to be likely to be accessed by the first user based on the data corresponding to the application. At least one aspect of the application is adjusted on a user interface of the mobile device.

Claims

1. A method comprising:

receiving, by one or more processors, a user profile, wherein the user profile corresponds to a first user of a mobile device;

receiving, by or more processors, data corresponding to an application, wherein the application is compatible with the mobile device;

determining, by one or more processors, that the application is likely to be accessed by the first user based on, at least, the data corresponding to the application; and

adjusting, by one or more processors, at least one aspect of the application on a user interface of the mobile device.

2. The method of claim 1, wherein determining that the application is likely to be accessed by the first user comprises:

determining, by one or more processors, a weight for the data corresponding to the application, wherein the weight indicates importance of the data based on preferences of the first user;

determining, by one or more processors, a score for the application based, at least in part, on the weight for the data corresponding to the application; and

identifying, by one or more processors, the at least one aspect of the application to adjust based on, at least, the score for the application.

3. The method of claim 1, further comprising:

identifying, by one or more processors, a second user of the mobile device, wherein the second user is different than the first user; and

in response to identifying the second user, adjusting, by one or more processors, the user interface of the mobile device, based on a set of predefined rules of the first user.

4. The method of claim 3, wherein identifying the second user of the mobile device comprises:

receiving, by one or more processors, a first set of data from a pressure sensor on the mobile device;

comparing, by one or more processors, the first set of data from the pressure sensor to a previously stored second set of data from the pressure sensor associated with the first user; and

identifying, by one or more processors, the second user of the mobile device based on, at least, the comparison of the first set of data from the pressure sensor to the previously stored second set of data from the pressure sensor.

5. The method of claim 3, wherein identifying the second user of the mobile device comprises:

receiving, by one or more processors, an image from a camera on the mobile device, wherein the image includes a face;

performing, by one or more processors, a facial recognition process on the face of the image; and

identifying, by one or more processors, the second user of the mobile device based on, results of the facial recognition process.

6. The method of claim 1, wherein the at least one aspect of the application to adjust comprises installing the application on the mobile device.

7. The method of claim 1, wherein adjusting the at least one aspect of the application on the user interface of the mobile device comprises adjusting an aspect of an icon to access the application.

8. A computer program product, the computer program product comprising:

a computer readable storage medium and program instructions stored on the computer readable storage medium, the program instructions comprising;

program instructions to receive a user profile, wherein the user profile corresponds to a first user of a mobile device;

program instructions to receive data corresponding to an application, wherein the application is compatible with the mobile device;

program instructions to determine that the application is likely to be accessed by the first user based on, at least, the data corresponding to the application; and

program instructions to adjust at least one aspect of the application on a user interface of the mobile device.

9. The computer program product of claim 8, wherein program instructions to determine that the application is likely to be accessed by the first user comprises:

program instructions to determine a weight for the data corresponding to the application, wherein the weight indicates importance of the data based on preferences of the first user;

program instructions to determine a score for the application based, at least in part, on the weight for the data corresponding to the application; and

program instructions to identify the at least one aspect of the application to adjust based on, at least, the score for the application.

10. The computer program product of claim 8, further comprising:

program instructions to identify a second user of the mobile device, wherein the second user is different than the first user; and

program instructions to adjust the user interface of the mobile device in response to identifying the second user and based on a set of predefined rules of the first user.

11. The computer program product of claim 10, wherein program instructions to identify the second user of the mobile device comprises:

program instructions to receive a first set of data from a pressure sensor on the mobile device;

program instructions to compare the first set of data from the pressure sensor to a previously stored second set of data from the pressure sensor associated with the first user; and

program instructions to identify the second user of the mobile device based on, at least, the comparison of the first set of data from the pressure sensor to the previously stored second set of data from the pressure sensor.

12. The computer program product of claim 10, wherein program instructions to identify the second user of the mobile device comprises:

program instructions to receive an image from a camera on the mobile device, wherein the image includes a face;

program instructions to perform a facial recognition process on the face of the image; and

program instructions to identify the second user of the mobile device based on, results of the facial recognition process.

13. The computer program product of claim 8, wherein the at least one aspect of the application to adjust comprises program instructions to install the application on the mobile device.

14. The computer program product of claim 8, wherein program instructions to adjust the at least one aspect of the application on the user interface of the mobile device comprises program instructions to adjust an aspect of an icon to access the application.

15. A computer system, the computer system comprising:

one or more computer processors;

one or more computer readable storage media;

program instructions stored on the computer readable storage media for execution by at least one of the one or more processors, the program instructions comprising;

program instructions to receive a user profile, wherein the user profile corresponds to a first user of a mobile device;

program instructions to receive data corresponding to an application, wherein the application is compatible with the mobile device;

program instructions to determine that the application is likely to be accessed by the first user based on, at least, the data corresponding to the application; and

program instructions to adjust at least one aspect of the application on a user interface of the mobile device.

16. The computer system of claim 15, wherein program instructions to determine that the application is likely to be accessed by the first user comprises:
