It's already been done and tried by many folks in many different contexts. Search for adaptive Just Intonation.
Anyway, there's fundamental issues this approach can never solve. An E and G should NEVER EVER be 5/4. That would be E and G-SHARP (or E-flat and G). But this is a good example of the issue. E and G could be 6/5 or 7/6 or 19/16 or… (the first two make the most sense). So, how is the keyboard to know when I play E and G that I wanted it to be part of a C-major 4:5:6 chord versus part of an A7 4:5:6:7 chord? There's no way other than some input that can tell me or the thing adapting after-the-fact when I later add the rest of the chord.
I think the best overall tuning software for keyboards is http://www.tallkite.com/alt-tuner.html http://www.tallkite.com/alt-tuner.html by the way, although adaptive stuff isn't the focus.
There's many others though. Cheers
