Abstract:
1. A non-transitory computer-readable medium embodying a program executable in a mobile computing device, the program comprising: code that, in response to receiving both sensor data from a plurality of sensor devices of the mobile computing device and touch input data from a user relative to a touch input device of the mobile computing device, automatically detects a dominant hand preference of the user based at least in part on an evaluation of the sensor data and the touch input data with a rule set, wherein the rule set is derived at least in part from a control data set associated with known dominant hand preferences of a plurality of other users, and wherein the sensor data and the touch input data are obtained implicitly through ordinary use of the mobile computing device by the user irrespective to dominant hand preference detection; code that renders a first user interface being configured for right-handed use when the dominant hand preference indicates that right-handed use is preferred; code that renders a second user interface being configured for left-handed use when the dominant hand preference indicates that left-handed use is preferred; and code that renders a third user interface being configured for left-handed use and right-handed use when the dominant hand preference indicates that use of both hands is preferred.
