Abstract: Techniques for generation of user interfaces include accessing data indicative of a plurality of values and including a subset of the values in a user interface. The subset may be selected based on user input or the characteristics of the device for which the user interface is generated. Each user interface is associated with a device characteristic, such as the size or shape of a display area or the presence of an audio output device, and the characteristics of the user interface may be determined based in part on the device characteristics.
