User interface adjustment methods and systems

A system for adjusting a user interface based upon a hand orientation of a user, comprising:

• a processor;
• and
• memory comprising processor-executable instructions that when executed by the processor cause implementation of an adjustment component configured to:
• receive an input from a user through a display of a device, the input corresponding to a gesture performed by the user while the device is held by a hand of the user with a first grip;
• evaluate curvature of the gesture to determine a hand orientation of the user and a finger length of a finger of the hand;
• identify, based upon the hand orientation of the user and the finger length of the finger of the hand, a primary accessibility area for a user interface associated with the first grip, wherein the primary accessibility area corresponds to a reachable area of the display of the device that is reachable to at least part of the hand of the user while the hand of the user holds the device with the first grip, wherein the identifying the primary accessibility area comprises (i) identifying a first sub-area, of the primary accessibility area, that is defined at least in part by the at least one curved boundary and (ii) identifying a second sub-area, of the primary accessibility area, that is defined at least in part by a second curved boundary different than the at least one curved boundary;
• and
• adjust the user interface, based upon the hand orientation of the user and the primary accessibility area, wherein the adjusting comprises adjusting the user interface to display a first user interface element in the first sub-area based upon a first rate of interaction associated with the first user interface element and display a second user interface element in the second sub-area based upon a second rate of interaction associated with the second user interface element.

A non-transitory computer readable medium comprising computer executable instructions that when executed by a processor perform a method for adjusting a user interface, comprising:

• receiving an input from a user through a touchscreen display of a device, the input comprising gesture data corresponding to a gesture performed on the touchscreen display while the device is held by a hand of the user with a first grip;
• evaluating the gesture data to determine a hand orientation and a finger length of a finger of the hand;
• identifying a primary accessibility area, associated with the first grip, for a user interface displayed by the touchscreen display based upon the hand orientation and the finger length of the finger of the hand, wherein the primary accessibility area corresponds to a reachable area of the touchscreen display of the device that is reachable to at least part of the hand of the user while the hand of the user holds the device with the first grip, wherein the identifying the primary accessibility area comprises (i) identifying a first sub-area, of the primary accessibility area, that is defined at least in part by at least one curved boundary and (ii) identifying a second sub-area, of the primary accessibility area, that is defined at least in part by a second curved boundary different than the at least one curved boundary;
• and
• adjusting a user interface element within the user interface based upon the hand orientation of the user and the primary accessibility area of the user interface, wherein the adjusting comprises adjusting the user interface to display a first user interface element in the first sub-area based upon a first rate of interaction associated with the first user interface element.
