Abstract
Information relating to at least one of a user and a user environment is acquired. A user cognitive state is determined based on the acquired information. A graphical control element is automatically configured based on the user cognitive state. The graphical control element is automatically presented on a display interface of a user device to control viewing of content displayed on the user device.
Claims20
A method, comprising steps of:
- acquiring information relating to at least one of a user and a user environment, wherein at least a portion of the information is acquired via user input, and further wherein the acquiring information comprises capturing one or more user images by using one or more imaging components on a user device and capturing one or more audio streams of the user environment using one or more acoustic components on the user device;
- determining a user cognitive state based on the acquired information, wherein determining the user cognitive state comprises analyzing the one or more images of the user and the one or more audio streams of the user environment utilizing at least one of a biometric technique and a facial expression analysis technique;
- automatically configuring a graphical control element based on the user cognitive state, wherein the graphical control element comprises a scrollbar, and further wherein automatically configuring the graphical control element comprises adjusting at least one of a shape and a texture of a slider of the scrollbar;
- and
- automatically presenting the graphical control element on a display interface of the user device to control viewing of content displayed on the user device;
- wherein the steps are performed by at least one processor device coupled to a memory implemented in the user device.
