First Claim
1. A method for customizing settings in a communication device for a user with a disability, the method comprising:
- identifying a disability of the user, the disability being irrespective of age;
identifying, using a microprocessor, a user profile comprising a set of custom communication device settings associated with the disability of the user from a user profile settings management system, wherein the user profile settings management system is stored in the communication device and manages a plurality of user profiles, wherein the user profile is a hybrid profile that comprises elements of two or more other user profiles; and
setting, without user interaction, a current set of communication device settings for a set of functions in the communication device to the set of custom communication device settings associated with the disability of the user, wherein the set of custom communication device settings assists the user with the disability in using the communication device.
