Abstract
In one aspect, a device includes at least one processor and storage accessible to the at least one processor. The storage includes instructions executable by the at least one processor to receive input from at least one sensor, identify a characteristic of a user based on the input from the at least one sensor, and alter at least one setting of the device based on the identification of the characteristic. The at least one setting is related to presentation of content using the device.
Claims20
A device, comprising:
- at least one processor;
- and
- storage accessible to the at least one processor and comprising instructions executable by the at least one processor to:
- receive input from at least one sensor;
- determine, based on the input, whether a user has a motor skills disability;
- and
- based on a determination that the user has a motor skills disability, alter an accessibility setting of the device.
A method, comprising:
- receiving input from at least one sensor;
- identifying a characteristic of a user based on the input from the at least one sensor;
- and
- altering at least one setting of a device based on the identifying of the characteristic, the at least one setting related to presentation of content using the device;
- wherein based on identifying that a particular user has worn eye glasses in the past but is not currently wearing eye glasses, altering the at least one setting by one or more of:
- presenting text on a display in a relatively larger font size than a default font size, audibly representing text presented on the display.
A computer readable storage medium (CRSM) that is not a transitory signal, the computer readable storage medium comprising instructions executable by at least one processor to:
- receive input from at least one sensor accessible to the at least one processor;
- identify a characteristic of a user based on the input from the at least one sensor;
- and
- change at least one setting of a device based on the identification of the characteristic and based on one or more of:
- identification of a current time of day, identification of a current location of the device;
- wherein the at least one setting is related to presentation of content.
