Abstract
A method and system. Users of multiple display devices engaged in a communication and a role associated with each of the users engaged in the communication are identified. Screen space of each of the multiple display devices is partitioned as a function of a total number of the users and based on the role of each of the users in the communication.
Claims20
A method, the method comprising:
- identifying, by one or more processors, a plurality of users of multiple display devices engaged in a communication and a relative importance each of the users engaged in the communication, each user being a user of a respective display device of the multiple display devices;
- and
- partitioning, by the one or more processors, screen space of each of the multiple display devices as a function of a total number of the users, said partitioning comprising sizing an area of the screen space of each respective display device in dependence on the identified relative importance of the user of each respective display device in the communication.
A computer system, comprising:
- one or more processors, a memory device coupled to the one or more processors, multiple display devices coupled to the one or more processors, a sensor connected to the multiple display devices;
- and a computer readable storage device coupled to the processor, wherein the computer readable storage device contains program code executable by the one or more processors via the memory device to implement a method, said method comprising:
- identifying, by the one or more processors, a plurality of users of multiple display devices engaged in a communication and a relative importance each of the users engaged in the communication, each user being a user of a respective display device of the multiple display devices;
- and
- partitioning, by the one or more processors, screen space of each of the multiple display devices as a function of a total number of the users, and based on the role said partitioning comprising sizing an area of the screen space of each respective display device in dependence on the identified relative importance of each of the user of each respective display device in the communication.

A computer program product comprising:
- one or more computer readable hardware storage devices having computer readable program code stored therein, said computer readable program code containing instructions executable by one or more processors to implement a method for automatically configuring multiple display devices comprising the steps of:
- identifying, by one or more processors, a plurality of users of multiple display devices engaged in a communication and a relative importance each of the users engaged in the communication, each user being a user of a respective display device of the multiple display devices;
- and
- partitioning, by the one or more processors, screen space of each of the multiple display devices as a function of a total number of the users, said partitioning comprising sizing an area of the screen space of each respective display device in dependence on the identified relative importance of the user of each respective display device in the communication.
