Adaptive graphic user interfacing system

Abstract

A system and method for an adaptive graphic user interface (AGUI) ( 501 ) that can identify the characteristics of one or more users and display candidates and dynamically select display content and generate an interface ( 502 - 506 . . . ) customized to one or more users and display candidates and dynamically arrange, modify, map and adapt an AGUI display to any object ( 350,730 ), device, clothing, equipment, furniture, appliance, room, building, vehicle, person, or other passive or active display surface, screen, space or other display candidate and embodiments of an AGUI apparatus ( 500 ) that can network, coordinate and/or operate with the AGUI platform ( 1302 ) to identify one or more users and display candidates and enabling one or more users to interface with a single AGUI display across multiple display candidates.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A computing device comprising:
 a sensor for mapping an environment in proximity to the device to identify a user position and a display candidate;   a memory containing an application coupled to a processor, the processor executing the application to generate display content;   the application evaluating the display candidate and the user position and selecting the display candidate as a display surface; and   a display output, the application utilizing characteristics of the display surface and the user position to modify the display content to produce enhanced display content, the display output displaying an image of the enhanced display content on the display surface.   
     
     
         2 . The computing device of  claim 1 , the application continuously updating the user position and the display candidate to detect a perturbation in the environment, in response to the perturbation, the application modifying the enhanced display content to improve the image. 
     
     
         3 . The computing device of  claim 1 , the application continuously updating the user position and the display candidate to detect a perturbation in the environment, in response to the perturbation, the application detecting a control action. 
     
     
         4 . The computing device of  claim 1 , the application continuously updating the user position and the display candidate to detect a perturbation in the environment, in response to the perturbation, the application detecting a second display candidate and selecting the second display candidate as the display surface. 
     
     
         5 . The computing device of  claim 1 , wherein the display surface is a passive surface and the display output is a projector. 
     
     
         6 . The computing device of  claim 1 , wherein the sensor identifies a second display candidate, the application selecting the second display candidate as a second display surface, wherein modifying the display content further comprises dividing the display content between the display surface and the second display surface to produce second enhanced display content for the second display surface, the display output displaying a second image of the second enhanced display content on the second display surface. 
     
     
         7 . The computing device of  claim 1 , wherein the computing device comprises a plurality of computing sub-devices networked together.
