Abstract

A system includes, but is not limited to, a obtaining information module configured for obtaining user advisory information including information regarding one or more users each of two or more devices based at least in part upon physical status information including information regarding one or more spatial aspects of one or more portions of each of the two or more devices, and an output module configured for outputting output information based at least in part upon one or more elements of the user advisory information.

Claims

1. A method at least partially performed using one or more processing components, the method comprising:

detecting first geographical position information associated with at least one display and second geographical position information associated with at least one device;

determining one or more adjustments regarding visual placement or appearance of content displayed on the at least one display based at least partly on the first geographical position information associated with the at least one display and the second geographical position information associated with the at least one device; and

modifying display of the content on the at least one display in accordance with the one or more determined adjustments.

2. A system comprising:

circuitry configured for detecting first geographical position information associated with at least one display and second geographical position information associated with at least one device;

circuitry configured for determining one or more adjustments regarding visual placement or appearance of content displayed on the at least one display based at least partly on the first geographical position information associated with the at least one display and the second geographical position information associated with the at least one device; and

circuitry configured for modifying display of the content on the at least one display in accordance with the one or more determined adjustments.

3. The system of claim 2, further comprising:

circuitry configured for receiving one or more elements of physical status information from the at least one display.

4. The system of claim 2, further comprising:

circuitry configured for obtaining physical status information regarding at least one user.

5. The system of claim 2, further comprising:

circuitry configured for obtaining one or more spatial aspects of at least one user through at least in part one or more techniques involving one or more photographic aspects.

6. The system of claim 2, further comprising:

circuitry configured for determining one or more modifications regarding one or more locations of the at least one display.

8. The system of claim 2, wherein the circuitry configured for detecting first geographical position information associated with at least one display and second geographical position information associated with at least one device comprises:

circuitry configured for detecting first geographical position information associated with at least one display and second geographical position information associated with at least one cellular phone device.

9. The system of claim 8, further comprising:

circuitry configured for determining relative orientation of and distance between the at least one display and the at least one cellular phone device based at least partly on the first geographical position information associated with the at least one display and the second geographical position information associated with the at least one cellular phone device.

10. The system of claim 9, wherein the circuitry configured for determining one or more adjustments regarding visual placement or appearance of content displayed on the at least one display based at least partly on the first geographical position information associated with the at least one display and the second geographical position information associated with the at least one device comprises:

circuitry configured for determining one or more adjustments regarding placement and size of content displayed on the at least one display based at least partly on a determined relative orientation of and distance between the at least one display and the at least one cellular phone device.

11. The system of claim 10, wherein the circuitry configured for modifying display of the content on the at least one display in accordance with the one or more determined adjustments comprises:

circuitry configured for modifying placement and size of the content on the at least one display in accordance with the one or more determined adjustments.

12. The system of claim 11, further comprising:

circuitry configured for outputting one or more instructions to control at least one robotic system to reposition the at least one display from at least one first position to at least one second position based at least partly on a determined relative orientation of and distance between the at least one display and the at least one cellular phone device.

7. A system comprising:

means for detecting first geographical position information associated with at least one display and second geographical position information associated with at least one device;

means for determining one or more adjustments regarding visual placement or appearance of content displayed on the at least one display based at least partly on the first geographical position information associated with the at least one display and the second geographical position information associated with the at least one device; and

means for modifying display of the content on the at least one display in accordance with the one or more determined adjustments.
