  • Patent number: 11327636
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer programs encoded on computer storage medium, for providing, for display, a GUI on a display device; detecting biometric measurements associated with a user that is perceiving the current GUI; processing the biometric measurements to quantify a current cognitive load associated with the user, the current cognitive load responsive to the current GUI; comparing the current cognitive load that is responsive to the current GUI to a threshold cognitive load; determining that the current cognitive load that is responsive to the current GUI is greater than the threshold cognitive load; scaling down a complexity of the current GUI based on the current cognitive load that is responsive to the current GUI to generate an updated GUI; and providing, for display, the updated GUI on the display device.

  • Patent number: 11086503
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer programs encoded on computer storage medium, for providing, for display, an image on a GUI; partitioning the GUI into two or more cells, each cell of the GUI corresponding to a portion of the image; determining, for each cell of the two or more cells of the GUI, a predominant color of the cell of the GUI based on the portion of the image that corresponds to the cell of the GUI; partitioning an array of lights of a keyboard input device that corresponds to the display device into two or more cells, each cell of the array of lights corresponding to a particular cell of the cells of the GUI; adjusting, for each cell of the array of lights, a color output of the lights of the cell of the array of lights based on the predominant color of the corresponding cell of the GUI.
