Abstract

Methods and systems for interface presentation are described. A user interface for the user may be selected among a plurality of available user interfaces in accordance with the personal characteristic information. A user access profile level for the user may be selected among a plurality of available user access profile levels in accordance with the personal characteristic information. Product information may be selected in accordance with the age data.

Claims

1. A method comprising:

accessing, by a computing device having a computer processor and computer-readable code stored on a computer-readable medium and executable by the computer processor, age data associated with a user from a database;

selecting, by the computing device, product information in accordance with the age data, the product information describing a product available to the user;

selecting, by the computing device, a user interface for the user among a plurality of available user interfaces in accordance with the age data;

altering, by the computing device, the user interface dynamically based on a functional ability of the user, wherein the functional ability of the user includes a user'"'"'s speed of use of the user interface and a user'"'"'s comprehension of features available to the user through the user interface; and

presenting, by the computing device, the product information to the user.

2. The method of claim 1, further comprising:

providing, by the computing device, the product information to the user through the selected user interface.

3. The method of claim 1, further comprising:

receiving, by the computing device, an expression of product interest from the user;

wherein the selecting of the product information is in accordance with the age data and the expression of product interest.

4. The method of claim 1, further comprising:

receiving, by the computing device, a product selection from the user, the product selection being of the product associated with the product information; and

making, by the computing device, the product available in the system to the user in accordance with the receiving of the product selection.

5. The method of claim 1, further comprising:

accessing, by the computing device, gender data of the user;

wherein the selecting of the product information is in accordance with the age data and the gender data.

6. The method of claim 1, further comprising:

accessing, by the computing device, rank data of the user;

wherein the selecting of the product information is in accordance with the age data and the rank data.

7. The method of claim 1, wherein the product includes at least one of:

life insurance,

health insurance,

car insurance,

a credit card,

a savings account,

a checking account,

or combinations thereof.

8. A computer-readable code stored on a computer-readable medium, which when executed causes a computer processor to:

access age data associated with a user from a database;

select product information in accordance with the age data, the product information describing a product available to the user;

select a user interface for the user among a plurality of available user interfaces in accordance with the age data;

altering the user interface dynamically based on a functional ability of the user, wherein the functional ability of the user includes a user'"'"'s speed of use of the user interface and a user'"'"'s comprehension of features available to the user through the user interface; and

present the product information to the user.

9. The computer-readable code of claim 8, wherein the computer-readable code, when executed, causes the computer processor to:

provide the product information to the user through the selected user interface.

10. The computer-readable code of claim 8, wherein the computer-readable code, when executed, causes the computer processor to:

receive an expression of product interest from the user;

wherein selection of the product information is in accordance with the age data and the expression of product interest.

11. The computer-readable code of claim 8, wherein the computer-readable code, when executed, causes the computer processor to:

receive a product selection from the user, the product selection being of the product associated with the product information; and

make the product available in the system to the user in accordance with receipt of the product selection.

12. The computer-readable code of claim 8, wherein the computer-readable code, when executed, causes the computer processor to:

access gender data of the user;

wherein selection of the product information is in accordance with the age data and the gender data.

13. The computer-readable code of claim 8, wherein the computer-readable code, when executed, causes the computer processor to:

access rank data of the user;

wherein selection of the product information is in accordance with the age data and the rank data.

14. The computer-readable code of claim 8, wherein the product includes at least one of:

life insurance,

health insurance,

car insurance,

a credit card,

a savings account,

a checking account,

or combinations thereof.

15. A device comprising:

a memory; and

a processor coupled to the memory, wherein the processor is configured to;

access age data associated with a user from a database;

select product information in accordance with the age data, the product information describing a product available to the user;

select a user interface for the user among a plurality of available user interfaces in accordance with the age data;

alter the user interface dynamically based on a functional ability of the user, wherein the functional ability of the user includes a user'"'"'s speed of use of the user interface and a user'"'"'s comprehension of features available to the user through the user interface; and

present the product information to the user.

16. The device of claim 15, wherein the processor is further configured to provide the product information to the user through the selected user interface.

17. The device of claim 15, wherein the processor is configured to receive an expression of product interest from the user,

wherein selection of the product information is in accordance with the age data and the expression of product interest.

18. The device of claim 15, wherein the processor is configured to receive a product selection from the user, the product selection being of the product associated with the product information;

and

wherein the processor is configured to make the product available in the system to the user in accordance with receipt of the product selection.

19. The device of claim 15, wherein the processor is configured to access gender data of the user;

wherein selection of the product information is in accordance with the age data and the gender data.

20. The device of claim 15, wherein the processor is configured to access rank data of the user;

wherein selection of the product information is in accordance with the age data and the rank data.

21. The device of claim 15, wherein the product includes at least one of:

life insurance,

health insurance,

car insurance,

a credit card,

a savings account,

a checking account,

or combinations thereof.
