Various embodiments for customizing a user interface based on user capabilities are described herein. An embodiment operates by determining a biometric of a user representing a characteristic of a finger size of the user based on an interaction performed by the user. It is determined that the biometric of the user indicates an ability of the user to navigate a user interface with one or more different features based on an ability of the user to interact with at least one existing feature of the user interface. Based on the determined biometric an identity of the user is determined. The determined identity of the user is verified by performing one or more verification actions subsequent to the determining the identity of the user. The user interface is customized, one or more different features corresponding to the finger size of the user are displayed.

Customizing a user interface based on user capabilities

Various embodiments for customizing a user interface based on user capabilities are described herein. An embodiment operates by detecting an interaction performed by a user with a user interface of a mobile device, the interaction being detected on a detection date and time. A biometric of the user is determined based on the interaction with the user interface of the mobile device. An initial identity of the user based is generated on the determined biometric of the user. A usage history for the initial identity of the user is retrieved. The detection date and time is compared to the usage history. The initial identity of the user is verified as an actual identity of the user based on the comparing. The user interface is customized based on the capabilities of the user in interacting with the user interface corresponding to the determined biometric after the verifying.

Disclosed herein are system, method, and computer program product embodiments for customizing a user interface on a remote control (or other device, such as a display device or mobile device) based on biometrics of the user. In a non-limiting embodiment, a method operates by receiving an interaction by a user of the remote control, wherein the interaction relates to a biometric of the user. An identity of the user is determined based on the interaction. Information associated with the determined user identity is accessed. Then, the user interface on the remote control is customized based on the accessed information. The biometric may be, for example, associated with a finger size of the user, or associated with motions made by the user with the remote control in forming the interaction. In an embodiment, the user identity is verified by comparing a date/time of the interaction with viewing history of the user, and/or by comparing the date/time of the interaction with a schedule of the user.
