Interface scanning for disabled users

An electronic device comprising:

• a display;
• one or more input devices;
• and
• one or more processors coupled to the display and the one or more input devices, the one or more processors capable of:
• scanning a plurality of elements displayed on the display, wherein scanning the plurality of elements comprises sequentially highlighting the plurality of elements, and wherein a first element of the plurality of elements comprises a plurality of sub-elements;
• receiving, via the one or more input devices, a first selection input when the first element of the plurality of elements is highlighted;
• in response to receiving the first selection input, scanning a region of the display that includes the plurality of sub-elements of the first element, wherein scanning the region of the display includes scanning the plurality of sub-elements;
• receiving a second selection input, via the one or more input devices, while scanning the region of the display that includes the plurality of sub-elements;
• and
• in response to receiving the second selection input:
• in accordance with a determination that the second selection input includes selection of a respective sub-element of the plurality of sub-elements, performing an action associated with the respective sub-element of the plurality of sub-elements;
• and
• in accordance with a determination that the second selection input includes selection of an escape element associated with an escape command, performing the escape command, wherein the escape element includes a graphical element that encompasses the plurality of sub-elements.

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing one or more programs, the one or more programs comprising instructions, which when executed by an electronic device with one or more processors, a display and one or more input devices, cause the device to:

• scan a plurality of elements displayed on the display, wherein scanning the plurality of elements comprises sequentially highlighting the plurality of elements, and wherein a first element of the plurality of elements comprises a plurality of sub-elements;
• receive, via the one or more input devices, a first selection input when the first element of the plurality of elements is highlighted;
• in response to receiving the first selection input, scan a region of the display that includes the plurality of sub-elements of the first element, wherein scanning the region of the display includes scanning the plurality of sub-elements;
• receive a second selection input, via the one or more input devices, while scanning the region of the display that includes the plurality of sub-elements;
• and
• in response to receiving the second selection input:
• in accordance with a determination that the second selection input includes selection of a respective sub-element of the plurality of sub-elements, perform an action associated with the respective sub-element of the plurality of sub-elements;
• and
• in accordance with a determination that the second selection input includes selection of an escape element associated with an escape command, perform the escape command, wherein the escape element includes a graphical element that encompasses the plurality of sub-elements.
