Display adaptation on a peripheral device

A system comprising:

• one or more processors;
• one or more machine-readable non-transitory storage mediums that include instructions configured to cause the one or more processors to perform operations including:
• detecting an object in in proximity with one or more peripheral devices such that the object is located in a position indicative of light generated by one or more visual output elements of the one or more peripheral devices being obfuscated from a user of the one or more peripheral devices, wherein the one or more peripheral devices are physically separate from and communicatively coupled to a host computing device;
• determining an obfuscation area defining a boundary of an area of the one or more peripheral devices being obfuscated;
• determining a current output schema displayed on a set of visual output elements on the one or more peripheral devices, wherein the set of visual output elements includes the one or more visual output elements;
• determining a current visual output area defining a boundary of the current output schema;
• determining a location of the obfuscation area;
• determining a location of the current visual output area;
• determining an amount of overlap between the obfuscation area and the current visual output area based on their corresponding determined locations;
• and
• in response to the amount of overlap being greater than an overlap threshold value:
• reconfiguring the current output schema to be displayed on a different set of visual output elements on the one or more peripheral devices such that the amount of overlap between the obfuscation area and the current visual output area is reduced,
• wherein the set of visual output elements is physically located on a first peripheral device of the one or more peripheral devices and the different set of visual output elements includes visual output elements on a second peripheral device of the one or more peripheral devices.

A non-transitory computer-program product tangibly embodied in a machine-readable non-transitory storage medium that includes instructions configured to cause one or more processors to perform operations including:

• detecting an object in in proximity with one or more peripheral devices such that the object is located in a position indicative of light generated by one or more visual output elements of the one or more peripheral devices being obfuscated from a user of the one or more peripheral devices, wherein the one or more peripheral devices are physically separate from and communicatively coupled to a host computing device;
• determining an obfuscation area defining a boundary of an area of the one or more peripheral devices being obfuscated;
• determining a current output schema displayed on a set of visual output elements on the one or more peripheral devices, wherein the set of visual output elements includes the one or more visual output elements;
• determining a current visual output area defining a boundary of the current output schema;
• determining a location of the obfuscation area;
• determining a location of the current visual output area;
• determining an amount of overlap between the obfuscation area and the current visual output area based on their corresponding determined locations;
• and
• in response to the amount of overlap being greater than an overlap threshold value:
• reconfiguring the current output schema to be displayed on a different set of visual output elements on the one or more peripheral devices such that the amount of overlap between the obfuscation area and the current visual output area is reduced,
• wherein the set of visual output elements is physically located on a first peripheral device of the one or more peripheral devices and the different set of visual output elements includes visual output elements on a second peripheral device of the one or more peripheral devices.
