Abstract
A system, method, and computer-readable medium that facilitate software configuration of assistive computer devices by automatically assessing a user's capabilities through questions and tasks are provided. The analysis results of the user's capabilities are then available to assistive computer software applications which may subsequently update their interfaces accordingly. A mapping mechanism from an external input device into a target software application is facilitated for software applications that do not include assistive technology features.
Claims20
A method, comprising:
- modifying, by a data processing system, an operational characteristic of an interface of the data processing system;
- and
- evaluating a user proficiency of an input device by a background assessment of a user's activities with the input device;
- wherein the background assessment of the user's activities with the input device comprises:
- determining, from at least one signal from the input device, by an adaptation module, the proficiency of the user with the input device and that an adjustment of the modification of the operational characteristic of the interface is required;
- wherein the adjustment of the modification of the operational characteristic of the interface comprises:
- adjusting the at least one signal;
- and
- providing the adjusted at least one signal to non-accessibility enhanced target software.
A non-transitory computer-readable medium having computer-executable instructions for execution by a processing system that, when executed, cause the processing system to:
- modify, by a data processing system, an operational characteristic of an interface of the data processing system;
- and
- evaluate a user proficiency of an input device by a background assessment of a user's activities with the input device;
- wherein the background assessment of the user's activities with the input device comprises:
- determine, from at least one signal from the input device, by an adaptation module, the proficiency of the user with the input device and that an adjustment of the modification of the operational characteristic of the interface is required;
- wherein the adjustment of the modification of the operational characteristic of the interface comprises:
- the at least one signal being adjusted;
- and
- the adjusted at least one signal being provided to non-accessibility enhanced target software.
A system, comprising:
- a processing module;
- a memory device including an adaptive software module;
- and an input device;
- wherein the processing module;
- modifies, by a data processing system, an operational characteristic of an interface of the data processing system;
- and
- evaluates a user proficiency of an input device by a background assessment of a user's activities with the input device;
- wherein the background assessment of the user's activities with the input device comprises:
- determining, from at least one signal from the input device, by an adaptation module, the proficiency of the user with the input device and that an adjustment of the modification of the operational characteristic of the interface is required;
- wherein the adjustment of the modification of the operational characteristic of the interface comprises;
- adjusting the at least one signal;
- and
- providing the adjusted at least one signal to non-accessibility enhanced target software.
