APPLICATION USER INTERFACE RECONFIGURATION BASED ON AN EXPERIENCE MODE TRANSITION

摘要

Aspects of a system and method for transitioning a configuration of a user interface (UI) of an application to a particular experience mode configuration in response to a transition of experience modes by an operating system (OS) is described. The application UI may be transitioned from a configuration optimized for hardware input interaction to a configuration optimized for interaction via natural input methods or vice versa. An experience mode transition triggering event is detected by the OS and in response the OS transitions from a first experience mode to a second experience mode and communicates the transition to the application. In response to the communication the application transitions to the second experience mode and reconfigures the UI to a configuration associated with the second experience mode. Other aspects enable a user to manually switch experience modes via the application and remain in the selected mode when the OS transitions modes.
