Abstract
A method and system of providing a control user interface at a first home appliance are disclosed, the method including detecting presence of a user within a threshold range of the first home appliance, and performing image processing on one or more real-time images of the user to determine one or more characteristics of a facial image of the user; determining at least a first parameter that is configured to trigger a first change in a current control user interface configuration for the first home appliance; and activating a first control user interface configuration corresponding to the first parameter for the first home appliance while the presence of the first user continues to be detected within the threshold range of the first home appliance.
