Abstract
Icons displayed on a home screen may be intelligently adapted. A sensor output is received indicating a measure of vibration of a mobile device. A database is queried for the measure of the vibration. The database stores different handednesses associated with different measures of the vibration. A left handedness or a right handedness is retrieved that is associated with the measure of the vibration. The icons on the home screen of the mobile device are arranged according to the left handedness or the right handedness. The vibration experienced by the mobile device thus determines whether the icons are arranged on the home screen for left hand operation or for right hand operation.
Claims20
A method, comprising:
- receiving a sensor output indicating a measure of vibration of a mobile device;
- querying a database for the measure of the vibration, the database storing different handednesses associated with different measures of the vibration;
- retrieving one of a left handedness and a right handedness that is associated with the measure of the vibration;
- and
- arranging icons on a home screen of the mobile device according to the one of the left handedness and the right handedness,
- wherein the vibration experienced by the mobile device determines whether the icons are arranged for left hand operation or for right hand operation.
A system, comprising:
- a processor;
- and
- a memory storing instructions that when executed cause the processor to perform operations, the operations comprising:
- receiving a sensor output indicating a measure of vibration of a mobile device;
- querying a database for the measure of the vibration, the database storing different handednesses associated with different measures of the vibration;
- retrieving one of a left handedness and a right handedness that is associated with the measure of the vibration;
- and
- arranging icons on a home screen of the mobile device according to the one of the left handedness and the right handedness,
- wherein the vibration experienced by the mobile device determines whether the icons are arranged for left hand operation or for right hand operation.
