Detecting accessibility patterns to modify the user interface of an application

Abstract:

Disclosed herein are system, method, and computer program product embodiments for modifying a graphical user interface (GUI) in response to detecting an accessibility pattern. In an embodiment, a user interacting with an application of a mobile phone may experience difficulty viewing the GUI elements or supplying commands to the application. Data from sensors on the mobile phone may be recorded and analyzed to detect an accessibility pattern indicating that the user is experiencing difficulty interacting with the application. For example, a proximity sensor may indicate that the user has placed the mobile device close to the user's face. In response to detecting an accessibility pattern, the application may modify the GUI of the application according to the particular accessibility pattern detected.
