20090113306 | DATA PROCESSING DEVICE - A data processing device includes a displaying unit, a user type determining unit, and a display controlling unit. The display unit displays display data including first display data for visually impaired users and second display data for sighted users. The user type determining unit determines whether a user is visually impaired or sighted. The display controlling unit controls the displaying unit to display the first display data when the user type determining unit determines that the user is visually impaired, and to display the second display data when the user type determining unit determines that the user is sighted. | 04-30-2009 |
20100262914 | NOTIFYING BLIND USERS OF LIVE REGION UPDATES - A method, apparatus, and computer program product are present for generating audio cues. New content is requested for a live region in a number of live regions displayed on a display device from a server. In response to receiving the new content for the live region in the number of live regions in the webpage, the live region in the number of live regions in the webpage is updated to form an updated live region displayed on the display device. An audio cue is generated on a sound generation device. The audio cue identifies the live region in the number of live regions in the webpage for which the new content has been received. | 10-14-2010 |
20130042180 | METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR PROVIDING MAP INTERACTIVITY FOR A VISUALLY-IMPAIRED USER - Map interactivity for a visually-impaired user is provided. A map is displayed on a display module of a device and a grid is overlaid onto the displayed map using a rendering module. Each cell of the grill corresponds to a location on the map. Further, a user selection is received using the input module concerning a cell of the grid from the displayed map. Information associated with a selected cell is retrieved using the location module within the device and a speech segment relating to the information is output using an output module. | 02-14-2013 |
20140181673 | AIDING PEOPLE WITH IMPAIRMENTS - A device may receive information identifying a type of impairment, and provide, based on the type of impairment, a user interface. The user interface may allow a user to specify a command and an action that is to be performed, by an application, based on detecting the command. The action may relate to the type of impairment. The device may further receive configuration information via the user interface, where the configuration information identifies the command and the action. The device may configure the application based on the configuration information, detect, using the application, the command, and perform, using the application, the action based on detecting the command. | 06-26-2014 |
