Abstract
A system for adjusting the RGB or other color scheme of a Web page or other network media first tests a user for color compromise in their vision, for instance to determine if a user has a green or red color deficiency or other compromise. The system generates a translation between a Web page's existing color scheme and an adjusted scheme which is tailored to that individual's vision characteristics. The color translation profile may be stored as a cookie, digital certificate or other data object for retrieval and use on an existing or newly visited Web page, or may be dynamically adjusted with each new use.
Claims31
A system for the adjustment of a color scheme in a networked media, comprising:
- a vision test module at a first location, the vision test module interrogating a user via a user interface to generate a vision characteristic profile for the user;
- and
- a color translation engine at a second location comprising a second storage for storing the vision characteristic profile, the color translation engine communicating with the vision test module and generating a mapping from a first color scheme in a first site at a third location in a networked media to a second color scheme according to the vision characteristic profile, where the first location, the second location and the third location are remote from one another.
A method for the adjustment of a color scheme in a networked media, comprising:
- interrogating a user with a vision test via a user interface at a first location to generate a vision characteristic profile for the user, wherein the vision characteristic profile is stored at least in a storage at a second location;
- and
- generating a mapping from a first color scheme in a first site at a third location in a networked media to a second color scheme according to the vision characteristic profile, where the first location, the second location and the third location are remote from one another.
A computer readable vision characteristic profile for the adjustment of a color scheme in a networked media, comprising:
- a vision characteristic profile, generated by interrogating a user via a user interface at a first location, the vision characteristic profile being readable by a color translation engine at a second location to generate a mapping from a first color scheme in a first site at a third location in a networked media to a second color scheme according to the vision characteristic profile, where the first location, the second location and the third location are remote from one other.
A system for processing a vision characteristic profile to adjust a color scheme in a networked media, comprising:
- an input module to receive a vision characteristic profile for a user at a first location;
- and
- an interface to a color translation engine at a second location, communicating with the input module, the color translation engine generating a mapping from a first color scheme in a first site at a third location in a networked media to a second color scheme according to the vision characteristic profile, where the first location, the second location and the third location are remote from one other.
A method for processing a vision characteristic profile to adjust a color scheme in a networked media, comprising:
- a) receiving a vision characteristic profile for a user at a first location;
- and
- b) generating at a second location a mapping from a first color scheme in a first site at a third location in a networked media to a second color scheme according to the vision characteristic profile, where the first location, the second location and the third location are remote from one another.
A system for generating a vision characteristic profile to adjust a color scheme in a networked media, comprising:
- an interrogation module at a first location to interrogate a user for color response information via a user interface;
- and
- a generator module at a second location, communicating with the interrogation module, the generator module processing the color response information to generate a color characteristic profile for use at a third location for the user, where the first location, the second location and the third location are remote from one another.
A method of generating a vision characteristic profile to adjust a color scheme in a networked media, comprising:
- a) interrogating a user at a first location for color response information via a user interface;
- and
- b) processing the color response information at a second location to generate a color characteristic profile for use at a third location for the user, where the first location, the second location and the third location are remote from one another.
