Abstract
An electronic device is provided that includes a display subassembly including a display that visually presents information. The electronic device also includes a base subassembly including plural keys and coupled to the display subassembly, the key having a key characteristic. The electronic device also includes one or more processors, and a data storage device having executable instructions accessible by the one or more processors. Responsive to execution of the instructions, the one or more processors are configured to obtain a user characteristic or an electronic device characteristic, and modify the key characteristic based on the user characteristic or the electronic device characteristic.
Claims20
An electronic device comprising:
- a display subassembly including a display that visually presents information,
- a base subassembly including a key and coupled to the display subassembly, the key having a key characteristic;
- one or more processors;
- a data storage device having executable instructions accessible by the one or more processors;
- wherein, responsive to execution of the instructions, the one or more processors are configured to:
- obtain a user characteristic or an electronic device characteristic;
- and
- modify the key characteristic based on the user characteristic or the electronic device characteristic.
A method, comprising:
- under control of one or more processors including program instructions to:
- obtain a first user parameter related to a key of an electronic device during a first period of time;
- obtain a second user parameter related to the key during a second period of time after the first period of time;
- compare the first user parameter to the second user parameter to determine a change in user parameter;
- determine if the change in user parameter exceeds a threshold change in the user parameter;
- and
- modify a key characteristic based on the threshold change in the user parameter.
