Dynamic device interaction adaptation based on user engagement

A method, comprising:

• receiving image data, at the computing device, from one or more sensors, wherein the image data indicates a gaze direction of a user, the computing device comprising a touchscreen for displaying graphical user interfaces and for receiving input gestures from a user to the computing device;
• analyzing the image data to select the computing device or a remote device in communication with the computing device, wherein the computing device is selected when the gaze direction is directed to the computing device, and wherein the remote device is selected when the gaze direction is directed to the remote device;
• in response to determining that the gaze direction is directed to the computing device, selecting the computing device and a first interaction model, wherein the first interaction model comprises displaying a first user interface of an application module on the touchscreen and causing the touchscreen to receive user gestures for providing input to the application module executing on the computing device;
• and
• in response to determining that the gaze direction is directed to the remote device, selecting the remote device and a second interaction model, wherein the second interaction model causes the touchscreen to receive user gestures for providing input to the remote device, wherein the second interaction model causes a display of a second user interface that is configured and arranged according to functions of the remote device.

A computer-readable medium comprising instructions which, when executed by one or more processors of a computing device comprising a touchscreen for displaying graphical user interfaces and for receiving input gestures from a user, cause the computing device to:

• receive image data from one or more sensors, wherein the image data indicates a gaze direction of the user;
• analyze the image data to determine an identity of an object in the gaze direction;
• in response to determining that the object is the computing device, selecting a first interaction model, wherein the first interaction model comprises displaying a first user interface of an application module on the touchscreen and causing the touchscreen to receive user gestures for providing input to the application module executing on the computing device;
• and
• in response to determining that the object is a remote device in communication with the computing device, selecting a second interaction model, wherein the second interaction model causes the touchscreen to receive user gestures for providing input to the remote device, wherein the second interaction model causes a display of a second user interface that is configured and arranged according to functions of the remote device.
