Abstract

This document describes systems and techniques directed at adaptive user interfaces (UIs). In aspects, a computing device having a display, a speaker, and a UI manager is configured to output a graphical user interface (GUI) including a plurality of GUI elements. The UI manager receives a first user selection (e.g., touch input) of a GUI element and determines one or more actions that are associated with the selected GUI element. The UI manager outputs the one or more actions for display, receives a second user selection (e.g., voice input) of an action, and performs, responsive to the second user selection, the action. By so doing, the UI manager enables a user to interact seamlessly with the computing device via touch and voice inputs. This flexibility improves user experience and increases an efficiency at which the user can interact with the computing device.

Dependent claims

A method comprising:

outputting, by a computing device, a user interface (UI) comprising a plurality of UI elements;
receiving, by the computing device, a touch input that selects a UI element of the plurality of UI elements;
determining, by the computing device and responsive to the selection of the UI element, one or more actions applicable to an application associated with the UI element;
outputting, by the computing device, one or more additional UI elements that are associated with the one or more actions;
receiving, by the computing device, a voice input that selects an additional UI element of the one or more additional UI elements, the additional UI element associated with an action of the one or more actions;
and
performing, by the computing device and responsive to the voice input, the action associated with the additional UI element.

4 more elements

A computing device comprising:

at least one display;
at least one touchscreen;
at least one microphone;
at least one speaker;
at least one processor;
and
computer-readable media storing instructions that, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the at least one processor to implement a user interface (UD) manager utilizing the at least one display, the at least one touchscreen, the at least one microphone, the at least one speaker, and the at least one processor to:
output, via the at least one display, a UI comprising a plurality of UI elements;
receive, via the at least one touchscreen, a touch input that selects a UI element of the plurality of UI elements;
determine, responsive to the touch input that selects the UI element, one or more actions applicable to an application associated with the UI element;
output, via the UI, one or more additional UI elements that are associated with the one or more actions;
receive, via the microphone, a voice input that selects an additional UI element of the one or more additional UI elements, the additional UI element associated with an action of the one or more actions;
and
perform, responsive to the voice input, the action associated with the additional UI element.

11 more elements

Computer-readable media comprising instructions that, when executed by at least one processor of a computing device, cause the at least one processor to perform operations including:

outputting, by the computing device, a user interface (UI) comprising a plurality of UI elements;
receiving, by the computing device, a touch input that selects a UI element of the plurality of UI elements;
determining, by the computing device and responsive to the selection of the UI element, one or more actions applicable to an application associated with the UI element;
outputting, by the computing device, one or more additional UI elements that are associated with the one or more actions;
receiving, by the computing device, a voice input that selects an additional UI element of the one or more additional UI elements, the additional UI element being associated with an action of the one or more actions;
and
performing, by the computing device and responsive to the voice input, the action associated with the additional UI element.
