  • the backgrounds are generated using the same algorithm that is available in the receiver's device.

  • one key data parameter be the pressure with which the user holds or squeezes the device and let this affect the scaling of the generated image. This could enable a "bulging" effect of the user interface when the device is squeezed. See Figure 15.
  • Another example of a real-time key data parameter could be the ambient temperature, which affects the overall color scheme of the user interface and also what image assets are used. See Figure 16.
  • a real-time key data parameter could be detection of device orientation using an accelerometer, which affects the orientation of an element in the user interface, in this case countering the effect of the device rotation. See Figure 17.
  • the real-time sensor key data parameter only affect the user interface if further actuation of the originating sensor will result in an event affecting the user interface state, i.e. activating a feature, launching some application, triggering an animation etc.
  • the "bulging background" effect could only be active if further/harder squeezing of the device actually led to the activation of a certain user interface feature, for instance to launch the web browser or alarm clock;
  • the orientation change of a user interface element based on device orientation would only be active if changing device orientation would actually lead to another change in user interface state, such as changing screen orientation or switching a camera from portrait to landscape mode.
  • This aspect of the invention highlights how to give the user a clue to what sensor are active and what interactions have the potential to change the state of the user interface instead of surprising the user as the change/event happens.
  • Some of the algorithms could be implemented as vertex- and pixel shaders on a dedicated Graphical Processing Unit (GPU) and directly draw the generated graphics to the screen based on the key data provided to it.
  • GPU Graphical Processing Unit
  • User interface key data that affects the user interface in a desired way can be printed on paper, for example in magazine ads, on packaging, movie tickets and on price tags.
  • the user interface key data By interpreting the user interface key data, for example using the camera and character recognition software, the user interface of user's devices could be modified. This would for example make it possible to theme a mobile device to match the characteristics of things a user likes.
  • SMS messages could be used to transmit data.
  • the user interface key data that represents the user interface on a user's device could be transferred to other user's devices, using mediums like Bluetooth radio, email, SMS, Wi-Fi. By transferring user interface data like this from one device to another users could share their user interfaces with each other. Users could be able to modify their user interfaces and then propagate the changes, as user interface key data, to other users.
  • This approach to sharing user interfaces could also involve gaming. Users could user the user interfaces on their devices as parts of the gaming experience. A user could, for example, cast a spell on a friend's device, thereby making the user interface on that device look bad.
  • a radio application in a mobile device allows the user to request the theme of the currently playing radio channel.
  • the radio application sends an SMS request to the radio service.
  • the device interprets the user interface key data, supplies the input to the correct algorithms which produce the graphical elements and other resources that are needed for modifying the user interface.
  • the algorithm combines several visual components into a more complex appearance.
  • the visual components can be of various kinds, such as images, animations and vector graphics or a group of other visual components.
  • Information about how the visual components can be combined is also used as input to the method. That information can either be manually specified or automatically computed.
  • the device contains a set of images, see Figure 11. These images are designed to be able to be aligned seamlessly adjacent to each other in certain patterns. The way the images can be aligned is known to the algorithm.
  • the algorithm takes as input a few weighted numbers that describe the frequency with which the different images should be used.
  • the weighted numbers could be transferred to the device as user interface key data.
  • the algorithm can create infinitely large images from the base images, see Figure 11. This could be used to create a scrolling background image for a list that never stops scrolling. When a new area of the scrolling background image is needed the algorithm would just generate a bit more. Creating user interface key data by blending presets
  • One way of creating user interface key data could be that the user is presented with a number of styles, or rather combinations of Ul modifications. The user would be able to browse the styles, and pick his favorite one. The user could then be able to blend the style he picked with other styles, creating a new style that is influenced by the two other styles. The user could then be able to continue influencing his style by choosing other styles to blend with his. See Figure 12 for an illustration of how a user can select different styles in order to influence his current style by them.
  • Editors for this system could present users with lots of choices, making it look like there are lots, or even infinite numbers, of preloaded graphics and other resources to choose from while the choices are really generated as the user browses them.
  • Composing user interface key data that result in interesting user interface modifications could be done through experimentation.
  • An editor that allows the user to experiment until he finds interesting key data could be realized using a touch sensitive surface.
  • Each point on the surface would represent a pair of values, the value corresponding to an imagined x-axis running from left to right and the value corresponding to the y-axis running from the bottom to the top, see Figure 13.
  • the axis could represent the color and the speed of particles moving around on the background image.
  • the user interface key data would include the values of the two axis, making it possible to recreate the same combination of particles from the user interface key data.
  • User interface key data could be extracted from information in photographs.
  • a mobile device could contain logic for creating user interface key data by looking at what colors are common in an image.
  • the mobile device could contain algorithms for creating background images in the color that is most common in an image. This would allow users to create a green background by photographing something that is green.
  • Interactive modification of the user interface of a device could be accomplished by using the system described in this text and asking the device user for information.
  • the device could ask the user for input to the user interface modification algorithms in the form of taking a photograph.
  • One of the proposed algorithms that could be part of this invention is one that combines several basic graphical elements, using boolean operations. These graphical elements could come preloaded on the device and might include a triangle, a circle, a square and other graphical building blocks. User interface key data could be pointing out what graphical elements to combine and what boolean algorithm to use when combining them, thereby making it possible to create more advanced graphical patterns from the basic graphics on the device.
