Posture and interaction incidence for input and output determination in ambient computing

An apparatus comprising:

• a substrate;
• and
• logic coupled to the substrate, wherein the logic includes one or more of configurable logic or fixed-functionality hardware logic, the logic coupled to the substrate to:
• determine a task to be performed in a smart work space;
• perform task modeling, wherein the task modeling includes to determine one or more user interfaces involved with the task, determine what information is to be displayed to perform the task, determine what inputs a user is to provide to the apparatus to perform the task, and estimate an incidence of an interaction and a length of time of the interaction;
• determine one or more placements for the one or more user interfaces based on one or more ergonomic conditions, the incidence of the interaction, and the length of time of the interaction;
• and
• position the one or more user interfaces into the smart work space in accordance with the determined one or more placements.

A method of providing smart work spaces in ubiquitous computing environments, comprising:

• determining a task to be performed in a smart work space;
• performing task modeling, wherein the task modeling includes determining one or more user interfaces involved with the task, determining what information is to be displayed to perform the task, determining what inputs a user is to provide to perform the task, and estimating an incidence of an interaction and a length of time of the interaction;
• determining one or more placements for the one or more user interfaces based on one or more ergonomic conditions, the incidence of the interaction, and the length of time of the interaction;
• and
• positioning the one or more user interfaces into the smart work space in accordance with the determined one or more placements.
