Abstract
The present invention is directed to an adjustable user interface. A method of configuring a user interface of an information handling system based on utilization of ports included with the information handling system may include monitoring a plurality of ports included on the information handling system. Utilization by a device of a port of the plurality of ports is monitored, the device communicatively coupled to at least one port of the plurality of ports. A user-interface operating on the information handling system is configured based on the determined utilization by the device of the port of the plurality of ports.

19. An information handling system, comprising:
-
a plurality of ports suitable for communicatively coupling the information handling system to a device;
a memory suitable for storing a program of instructions;
a display device suitable for outputting a display of information; and
a processor suitable for performing a program of instructions, the processor communicatively coupled to the plurality of ports, the memory and the display device wherein the program of instruction configures the processor to monitor the plurality of ports so that utilization of the ports by devices is employed to cause the processor to configure a display of a user interface so that content corresponding to each of the devices is arranged based upon which of the ports is utilized by the devices. - View Dependent Claims (20, 21, 22, 23, 24)

25. An information handling system, comprising:
-
means for communicatively coupling the information handling system to a peripheral device;
means for storing a program of instructions;
means for displaying, the display means suitable for outputting a display of information; and
means for processing, the processing means suitable for performing a program of instructions, the processing means communicatively coupled to the communication means, the memory and the display means wherein the program of instruction configures the processing means to monitor the communication means so that utilization of the communication means by peripheral devices is employed to cause the processing means to configure a display of a user interface on the display means so that content corresponding to each of the devices is arranged based upon which of the communication means is utilized by the devices.
