Abstract

Methods and systems for interfacing with users may include displaying content associated with a plurality of user interface elements, tracking a view of the user on at least a portion of the content to determine an interest of the user, detecting the user in proximity to an information handling system, displaying the portion of content corresponding to the interest of the user on the information handling system, sharing the portion of content associated with the plurality of user interface elements on a display, and scaling the size of the portion of content on the display to match the size of the portion of content displayed on the information handling system. The sharing may be based on a gesture from the user. The match may be based on the perception of the user, in which the perception is based on the distance between the user and the display.

Claims (45)

1. A method for interfacing with users, comprising:

displaying content associated with a plurality of user interface elements to a user;

tracking a view of the user on at least a portion of the content to determine an interest of the user;

detecting the user in proximity to an information handling system;

displaying the portion of content corresponding to the interest of the user on the information handling system;

sharing the portion of content associated with the plurality of user interface elements on a display based on a gesture from the user; and

scaling a size of the portion of content on the display to match a size of the portion of content displayed on the information handling system, the match based on the perception of the user, the perception based on a distance between the user and a portion of the display.

2. The method of claim 1 , further comprising initiating tracking of the user based on the user accessing at least one of: a web portal or an application.

3. The method of claim 1 , further comprising presenting the scaled portion of content on the display, the scaled portion including at least one of:

a scaled color scheme that matches a first color scheme viewed by the user during tracking; or

a scaled font that matches a first font viewed by the user during tracking.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein displaying the portion of content on the information handling system comprises filtering the portion of content based on a privacy policy on the information handling system.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein detecting the user in proximity to the information handling system comprises determining whether a portable information handling system of the user is communicatively coupled to the information handling system.

6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the distance between the user and the display is estimated by a three dimensional sensor communicatively coupled to the information handling system.

7. An article of manufacture comprising a non-transitory computer-readable medium storing instructions, that, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to:

detect a user in proximity to the information handling system;

display a portion of content corresponding to an interest of the user on the information handling system, the portion of content associated with a plurality of user interface elements previously displayed to the user, the interest of the user determined from tracking a view of the user on the portion of content;

share the portion of content associated with the plurality of user interface elements on a display based on a gesture from the user; and

scale a size of the portion of content on the display to match a size of the portion of content displayed on the information handling system, the match based on the perception of the user, the perception based on a distance between the user and the display.

8. The article of manufacture of claim 7 , wherein the tracking of the user is initiated by the user accessing at least one of: a web portal or an application.

9. The article of manufacture of claim 7 , further comprising instructions that cause the processor to present the scaled portion of content on the display, the scaled portion including at least one of:

a scaled color scheme that matches a first color scheme viewed by the user during tracking; or

a scaled font that matches a first font viewed by the user during tracking.

10. The article of manufacture of claim 7 , wherein the instructions that cause the processor to display of a portion of content on the information handling system comprise instructions that cause the processor to filter the portion of content based on a privacy policy on the information handling system.

11. The article of manufacture of claim 7 , wherein the instructions that cause the processor to detect the user in proximity to the information handling system comprise instructions to determine whether a portable information handling system of the user is communicatively coupled to the information handling system.

12. The article of manufacture of claim 7 , wherein the distance between the user and the display is estimated by a three dimensional sensor communicatively coupled to the information handling system.

13. The article of manufacture of claim 7 , wherein the instructions that cause the processor to share the portion of content based on a gesture comprises instructions that cause the processor to:

receive a voice of the user from a pen, the voice converted into a command for sharing the portion of content; and

receive a direction pointed to by the user controlling the pen, the direction corresponding to the display.

14. An information handling system comprising:

a processor subsystem having access to a memory subsystem, wherein the memory subsystem stores instructions executed by the processor subsystem, that, when executed by the processor subsystem, cause the processor subsystem to:

detect a user in proximity to the information handling system;

display a portion of content corresponding to an interest of the user on the information handling system, the portion of content associated with a plurality of user interface elements displayed to the user and the interest of the user determined from tracking a view of the user on the portion of content;

share the portion of content associated with the plurality of user interface elements on a display based on a gesture from the user; and

scale a size of the portion of content on the display to match a size of the portion of content displayed on the information handling system, the match based on the perception of the user, the perception based on a distance between the user and the display.

15. The information handling system of claim 14 , wherein the tracking of the user is initiated by the user accessing at least one of: a web portal or an application.

16. The information handling system of claim 14 , further comprising instructions that cause the processor to present the scaled portion of content on the display, the scaled portion including at least one of:

a scaled color scheme that matches a first color scheme viewed by the user during tracking; or

a scaled font that matches a first font viewed by the user during tracking.

17. The information handling system of claim 14 , wherein the instructions that cause the processor to display of a portion of content on the information handling system comprise instructions that cause the processor to filter the portion of content based on a privacy policy on the information handling system.

18. The information handling system of claim 14 , wherein the instructions that cause the processor to detect the user in proximity to the information handling system comprise instructions that cause the processor to determine whether a portable information handling system of the user is communicatively coupled to the information handling system.

19. The information handling system of claim 14 , wherein the distance between the user and the display device is estimated by a three dimensional sensor communicatively coupled to the information handling system.

20. The information handling system of claim 14 , wherein the instructions that cause the processor to share the portion of content based on a gesture comprise instructions that cause the processor to:

receive a voice of the user from a pen, the voice converted into a command for sharing the portion of content; and

receive a direction pointed to by the user controlling the pen, the direction corresponding to the display.
