Handedness for hand-held devices

1. A method, comprising:

receiving one or more non-touch sensor inputs at an information handling device;

determining, using a processor, that a user is holding the information handling device with a particular hand by determining an angle of the information handling device with respect to the user caused by a parallax, the angle indicating an orientation of the information handling device with respect to the user and being derived via the one or more non-touch sensor inputs; and

adjusting output, based upon the particular hand and that the user is holding the information handling device with the particular hand for a predetermined amount of time, to a configuration of touch screen of the information handling device corresponding to the particular hand, wherein the adjusting comprises adjusting touch screen interface settings to reposition frequently used icons to touch screen locations accessible by the particular hand determined.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the receiving one or more sensor inputs comprises receiving device orientation inputs via a sensor selected from the group consisting of an accelerometer of the information handling device, a gyroscope of the information handling device, and a compass.

3. The method of claim 2 , wherein said determining comprises processing the device orientation inputs to dynamically determine that the user is holding the information handling device with a particular hand.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein said adjusting comprises adjusting icons within a display provided by the touch screen.

5. The method of claim 4 , wherein said adjusting icons comprises repositioning one or more icons within the display.

6. The method of claim 5 , wherein said repositioning one or more icons within the display comprises positioning the one or more icons into a predetermined area within the display.

7. The method of claim 6 , wherein the predetermined area is mapped to an area determined to be accessible to the particular hand.

8. The method of claim 4 , wherein said adjusting icons comprises reorganizing one or more icons within the display.

9. The method of claim 8 , wherein said reorganizing one or more icons within the display comprises positioning the one or more icons into a predetermined organization within the display.

10. The method of claim 9 , wherein the predetermined organization is mapped to an organization determined to be accessible to the particular hand.

11. An information handling device, comprising:

one or more non-touch device sensors;

a touch screen;

a processor operatively coupled to the touch screen and the one or more non-touch device sensors;

a memory device that stores instructions accessible to the processor, the instructions being executable by the processor to:

receive one or more non-touch sensor inputs;

determine that a user is holding the information handling device with a particular hand by determining an angle of the information handling device with respect to the user caused by a parallax, the angle indicating an orientation of the information handling device with respect to the user and being derived via the one or more non-touch sensor inputs; and

adjust output, based upon the particular hand and that the user is holding the information handling device with the particular hand for a predetermined amount of time, to a configuration of touch screen of the information handling device corresponding to the particular hand, wherein the adjusting comprises adjusting touch screen interface settings to reposition frequently used icons to touch screen locations accessible by the particular hand determined.

12. The information handling device of claim 11 , wherein:

the one or more device sensors include a sensor selected from the group consisting of an accelerometer and a gyroscope; and

to receive one or more sensor inputs comprises receiving device orientation inputs via one or more of the accelerometer and the gyroscope.

13. The information handling device of claim 12 , wherein to determine comprises processing the device orientation inputs to dynamically determine that the user is holding the information handling device with a particular hand.

14. The information handling device of claim 11 , wherein to adjust comprises adjusting icons within a display provided by the touch screen.

15. The information handling device of claim 14 , wherein said adjusting icons comprises repositioning one or more icons within the display.

16. The information handling device of claim 15 , wherein said repositioning one or more icons within the display comprises positioning the one or more icons into a predetermined area within the display mapped to an area determined to be accessible to the particular hand.

17. The information handling device of claim 14 , wherein said adjusting icons comprises reorganizing one or more icons within the display.

18. The information handling device of claim 17 , wherein said reorganizing one or more icons within the display comprises positioning the one or more icons into a predetermined organization within the display determined to be accessible to the particular hand.

19. The information handling device of claim 11 , wherein the instructions are further executable by the processor to:

accept user input selecting a handedness for the information handling device;

wherein to adjust comprises adjusting output to the touch screen based on the input selecting a handedness.

20. A product, comprising:

a storage device having processor executable code stored therewith, the code comprising:

code that receives one or more non-touch sensor inputs at an information handling device;

code that determines, using a processor, that a user is holding the information handling device with a particular hand by determining an angle of the information handling device with respect to the user caused by a parallax, the angle indicating an orientation of the information handling device with respect to the user and being derived via the one or more non-touch sensor inputs; and

code that adjusts, based upon the particular hand and that the user is holding the information handling device with the particular hand for a predetermined amount of time, to a configuration of touch screen of the information handling device corresponding to the particular hand, wherein the adjusting comprises adjusting touch screen interface settings to reposition frequently used icons to touch screen locations accessible by the particular hand determined.
