摘要

The invention provides a method and system for setting the user interface to best suit the display screen of an electronic device, for instance, a cellular phone or a tablet. The method comprises a software application for installation upon an electronic device. The software has a plurality of user-interface variants. A remote server is maintained, having a repository mapping a list of a plurality of user interface variants best suited to a plurality of predetermined electronic devices. The software reports the identity of the electronic device to the server, and queries the server for the user-interface variant best suited for the specific device. When an answer is returned, the user interface is set accordingly. In some embodiments, a user can manually select a preferred user interface variant. His choice is reported to a preference analysis module which communicates with the server, for use in regard to future queries.
