Intelligent Adaptation of Home Screens According to Handedness

摘要

Icons displayed on a home screen may be intelligently adapted. A sensor output is received indicating a measure of vibration of a mobile device. A database is queried for the measure of the vibration. The database stores different handednesses associated with different measures of the vibration. A left handedness or a right handedness is retrieved that is associated with the measure of the vibration. The icons on the home screen of the mobile device are arranged according to the left handedness or the right handedness. The vibration experienced by the mobile device thus determines whether the icons are arranged on the home screen for left hand operation or for right hand operation.
