A multimodal electronic device (100) includes a shutter enabled dynamic keypad for presenting one of a plurality of keypad configurations to a user. Each keypad configuration, which is presented by an optical shutter (204) that opens or closes windows or shutters that are geometrically configured as alphanumeric or device keys or symbols. Each keypad configuration comprises a plurality of mode based actuators, wherein the plurality of mode based actuators comprises at least a ten-digit keypad actuator set (2000) and a curved scroll device (1903). The optical shutter (204) is a low-resolution display that presents user actuation targets to a user in a low-resolution key area. As each mode of the device changes, the corresponding keypad configuration presented changes accordingly.

A method and apparatus for dynamically adjusting the user interface of a search engine in order to effectively communicate the improved relevancy achieved through real-time implicit re-ranking of search results is described. Real-time implicit re-ranking occurs without delay after every user action as the search is being conducted, so finding methods of immediately altering the search page without disrupting the user experience is important. Graphical icons next to search results are employed to enable generating and removing re-ranked results, referred to as “recommended” search results. Clusters based on the real-time user model are also displayed to facilitate query reformulations. Sponsored links are selected using the real-time user model along with a combination of RPC and CTR information and are displayed in a manner similar to the organic results, or used to replace the initial sponsored links altogether.

A method of activating and displaying a user interface (UI) integrated in an electronic device includes detecting a right-handed or a left-handed grip of the electronic device and activating a right-handed or a left-handed UI responding to the right-handed or left-handed grip. The right handed UI mirrors the left-handed UI.

A control apparatus for controlling a multi-phase rock drilling event carried out with a rock drilling rig. In a display of the rock drilling rig or a control unit thereof, a first section is settable for substantially invariable information sources and a second section for information sources to be changed according to the rock drilling situation. Further, a situation-specific rock drilling definition is set in the control apparatus about at least one information source, information relating to which is to be displayed during the rock drilling situation. The working phase of the rock drilling event is checked, and an information source suitable for the phase is selected on the basis of the definition. Information relating to the at least one selected information source is displayed in the display part during execution of the rock drilling phase.

An adaptive user interface presented on a heads-up display of an automobile is provided. The adaptive user interface comprises a number of display elements that may be presented in a variety of display states. The display state for each display element is determined based on inputs from a variety of sources (e.g., the automobile).

An apparatus, method, and computer program product for providing adaptive user interface elements on display devices are provided. The apparatus includes a processing element configured to provide for a display of an image of a user interface element, where actuation of the user interface element invokes a certain operation. The processing element is also configured to monitor interaction with the user interface element and to provide for a modified image of the user interface element based on the interaction with the respective user interface elements. User interface elements may be modified in various ways to allow a greater portion of the display of the application to be seen and experienced. Furthermore, the interaction may be monitored in different ways, and a user input regarding presentation of the modified image may also be received.

Methods and system for adapting user interfaces are proposed. According to certain embodiments, a user experience level is determined based on usage of a software application and other detected factors. Based on the user experience level, at least in part, a user interface is adapted to provide an improved experience for the user of the adaptive user interface.

According to various embodiments, user performance and / or motivation for a computing system may be maximized by optimizing one or more target components of a user interface of the computing system. The target components may be aspects of the user interface that is perceived by the user. One or more input features and one or more output features may be identified, and data regarding these input and output features may be gathered. This data may be compared with the results generated by a set of candidate artificial intelligence algorithms to determine which of them provides the best fit with the data collected. Then, the selected artificial intelligence algorithm may be applied to the user interface to iteratively change the target components over time until the optimal settings for each user are discovered.
