Automated Configuration of Applications for People with Specific Needs
Sprache des Vortragstitels:
Englisch
Original Kurzfassung:
A major concern for carers of people with physical and cognitive disabilities is the adjustment of applications for the target group. Due to their impairments, they interact in their own specific way or with a special input device with the application. As the target group is usually not able to setup the application by itself, a carer is needed. This setup process has to be done for every application and for every device the user wants to operate. On shared computers, things get even worse because every time the user changes, the setup process has to be repeated.
In this paper we present an approach that counteracts this drawback. We determine the settings of a user automatically with a game-like wizard or with the help of a carer and save those settings in a user profile. This profile is then distributed over cloud services to every other application based on our framework, even if the user owns multiple devices. As a result the settings only need be configured once for each user.
