Adaptive remote control

Abstract

A remote control that receives state information from an associated media device is disclosed. The remote control, in response to receiving data indicating that the media device is in a content state, may update an input assembly to indicate that the assembly may be used to perform a movement function. The remote control may instruct the media device to perform a movement function in response to a selection gesture, where the degree of movement is a single unit. In response to a swipe gesture, the remote control may instruct the media device to perform a linear movement with a greater degree of movement. Buttons and functions of the remote control may be further adapted in response to a menu-based state, or other states of the media device.

1 . A method comprising:
 determining, based on a detected user input, information indicating a gesture;   determining, based on the gesture, a user profile;   determining, based on the user profile, a graphical user interface; and   causing display of the graphical user interface.   
     
     
         2 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein the gesture is performed in an orientation associated with the user profile. 
     
     
         3 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein the gesture comprises a swipe gesture associated with the user profile. 
     
     
         4 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein the determining, based on the gesture, the user profile comprises:
 determining that the gesture is performed in a first orientation, of a plurality of orientations, on an icon; and   determining, based on the gesture being performed in the first orientation on the icon, the user profile.   
     
     
         5 . The method of  claim 1 , further comprises:
 determining, based on a second detected user input, information indicating a second gesture;   determining, based on the second gesture, a second user profile.   
     
     
         6 . The method of  claim 5 , wherein the second gesture is performed in an orientation associated with the second user profile. 
     
     
         7 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein the gesture comprises at least one of: a swipe gesture, a selection gesture, or a J-shaped gesture. 
     
     
         8 . The method of  claim 7 , wherein the swipe gesture causes a greater degree of movement through content on the media device than the selection gesture or the J-shaped gesture. 
     
     
         9 . A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing computer-readable instructions that, when executed by a processor, cause:
 determining, based on a detected user input, information indicating a gesture;   determining, based on the gesture, a user profile;   determining, based on the user profile, a graphical user interface; and   causing display of the graphical user interface.   
     
     
         10 . The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of  claim 9 , wherein the gesture is performed in an orientation associated with the user profile. 
     
     
         11 . The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of  claim 9 , wherein the gesture comprises a swipe gesture associated with the user profile. 
     
     
         12 . The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of  claim 9 , wherein the determining, based on the gesture, the user profile comprises:
 determining that the gesture is performed in a first orientation, of a plurality of orientations, on an icon; and   determining, based on the gesture being performed in the first orientation on the icon, the user profile.   
     
     
         13 . The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of  claim 9 , wherein the gesture comprises at least one of: a swipe gesture, a selection gesture, or a J-shaped gesture. 
     
     
         14 . The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of  claim 13 , wherein the swipe gesture causes a greater degree of movement through content on the media device than the selection gesture or the J-shaped gesture. 
     
     
         15 . A device comprising:
 one or more processors; and   memory storing instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the device to:
 determine, based on a detected user input, information indicating a gesture; 
 determine, based on the gesture, a user profile; 
 determine, based on the user profile, a graphical user interface; and 
 cause display of the graphical user interface. 
   
     
     
         16 . The device of  claim 15 , wherein the gesture is performed in an orientation associated with the user profile. 
     
     
         17 . The device of  claim 15 , wherein the gesture comprises a swipe gesture associated with the user profile. 
     
     
         18 . The device of  claim 15 , wherein the determining, based on the gesture, the user profile comprises:
 determining that the gesture is performed in a first orientation, of a plurality of orientations, on an icon; and   determining, based on the gesture being performed in the first orientation on the icon, the user profile.   
     
     
         19 . The device of  claim 15 , wherein the gesture comprises at least one of: a swipe gesture, a selection gesture, or a J-shaped gesture. 
     
     
         20 . The device of  claim 19 , wherein the swipe gesture causes a greater degree of movement through content on the media device than the selection gesture or the J-shaped gesture.
