Abstract

For reconfiguring a user interface (UI) layout according to a deterioration of an interface device, a UI layout is analyzed to determine a position of a UI element on the interface device according to the UI layout determination is made that the UI element is positioned in a first area of the interface device, the first area having a first sensitivity to touch, where the first sensitivity is below a level of sensitivity. A second area of the interface device is identified, the second area having a second sensitivity to touch, where the second sensitivity is at least equal to the level of sensitivity. The UI element is relocated from the first area to the second area thereby forming a modified UI layout. The modified UI layout is sent for rendering on the interface device.
