Abstract
With their ubiquitous nature and perceived personalized character portable electronic devices are increasingly forming part of individual's life as applications exist for practically anything today and new ones are released daily. It is therefore increasingly important for these electronic devices to dynamically adapt applications, information, user interface etc. According to embodiments of the invention user interfaces provide: Biometric Recognition—the user interface (UI) configuration discretely or in combination with other context factors varies according to the identity of the recognized user; Electronic Environment Context—the electronic environment to the electronic device provides contextual basis for the UI; Dynamic Context Adjustment?, and Micro-Contexts —the UI configuration UI adapts as macro- and micro-contexts change with macro-contexts divided into multiple micro-contexts; Intuitive User Interface—user motions are more intuitive and more closely resemble real world actions; and Smart Agent—application notifications are parsed for impact to other actions/activities in other applications.
