Abstract
Systems, methods and products for dynamically presenting user interfaces on an information handling device based on connected devices are presented herein. One aspect includes detecting one or more peripheral devices operatively coupled to an information handling device; executing a primary user interface; activating one or more secondary user interfaces responsive to detection of one or more peripheral devices; and switching between the primary user interface and the one or more secondary user interfaces. Other embodiments are described.
Claims20
An information handling device comprising:
- one or more processors;
- a memory storing program instructions accessible by the one or more processors;
- wherein, responsive to execution of the program instructions accessible to the one or more processors, the one or more processors are configured to:
- detect one or more peripheral devices operatively coupled to the information handling device;
- execute a primary user interface;
- activate one or more secondary user interfaces responsive to detection of one or more peripheral devices;
- and
- switch between the primary user interface and the one or more secondary user interfaces.
A method comprising:
- detecting one or more peripheral devices operatively coupled to an information handling device;
- executing a primary user interface;
- activating one or more secondary user interfaces responsive to detection of one or more peripheral devices;
- and
- switching between the primary user interface and the one or more secondary user interfaces.
A program product comprising:
- a storage medium having program code embodied therewith, the program code comprising:
- program code configured to detect one or more peripheral devices operatively coupled to an information handling device;
- program code configured to execute a primary user interface;
- program code configured to activate one or more secondary user interfaces responsive to detection of one or more peripheral devices;
- and
- program code configured to switch between the primary user interface and the one or more secondary user interfaces.
