Abstract
A color computer output is dynamically converted into a monochrome computer output based on a stored profile. The stored profile may be for a piece of hardware (e.g., a monochrome printer), or a user (e.g., a color-blind user).
Claims20
A computer-implementable method comprising:
- detecting a computer output from a computer, wherein the computer output includes multi-colored graphics;
- retrieving a profile that describes whether the computer output needs to be in a monochrome format;
- and
- in response to the profile indicating a need for the computer output to be monochrome, converting the computer output to the monochrome format.
1 more element
A system comprising:
- a processor;
- a data bus coupled to the processor;
- a memory coupled to the data bus;
- and
- a computer-usable medium embodying computer program code, the computer program code comprising instructions executable by the processor and configured for:
- detecting a computer output from a computer, wherein the computer output includes multi-colored graphics;
- retrieving a profile that describes whether the computer output needs to be in a monochrome format;
- and
- in response to the profile indicating a need for the computer output to be monochrome, converting the computer output to the monochrome format.
