A METHOD, APPARATUS, AND SYSTEM FOR ENERGY EFFICIENCY AND ENERGY CONSERVATION INCLUDING DYNAMIC USER INTERFACE BASED ON VIEWING CONDITIONS

摘要

In general, in one aspect, a viewing configuration detector collects data for a viewing area of a consumer electronics device and determines viewing configuration based on the collected data. A dynamic user interface controller determines a perceived appropriate configuration for the content presented on the consumer electronics device based on the viewing configuration and if necessary modifies the configuration of the content. The modifying is done without receiving input to make the change from a user and may be done to conserve power or enhance user experience. The viewing configuration detector may include a light transmitter to transmit light in direction of the user and a light receiver to receive reflected light and determine distance and/or location of user based theeron. The viewing configuration detector may include a camera to capture images of the viewing area and image recognition functionality to detect the user and different attributes associated therewith.
