1. A method, comprising:
- performing a proficiency test, by a data processing system, for an input device;
using the results of the proficiency test performed for the input device by the data processing system for modifying, by the data processing system, an operational characteristic of an interface of the data processing system; and
evaluating a user proficiency of the input device by a background assessment of the user'"'"'s activities with the input device;
wherein the background assessment of the user'"'"'s activities with the input device comprises;
receiving at least one signal from the input device for non-accessibility enhanced target software that is unable to perform the background assessment;
determining, from the at least one signal, by an adaptation module, the proficiency of the user with the input device and that an adjustment of the modification of the operational characteristic of the interface is required;
wherein the adjustment of the modification of the operational characteristic of the interface comprises;
adjusting at least one signal;
providing the adjusted at least one signal to the non-accessibility enhanced target software; and
wherein the modification of the operational characteristic of the interface is adjusted based on the background assessment.

Abstract
A system, method, and computer-readable medium that facilitate software configuration of assistive computer devices by automatically assessing a user'"'"'s capabilities through questions and tasks are provided. The analysis results of the user'"'"'s capabilities are then available to assistive computer software applications which may subsequently update their interfaces accordingly. A mapping mechanism from an external input device into a target software application is facilitated for software applications that do not include assistive technology features.

8. A non-transitory computer-readable medium having computer-executable instructions for execution by a processing system that, when executed, cause the processing system to:
-
perform a proficiency test, by a data processing system, for an input device, wherein the proficiency test evaluates a quality of user input supplied to the input device; modify an operational characteristic of a system user interface to modify how the data processing system responds to input from the input device based on results of the proficiency test performed for the input device; and evaluate a user proficiency of the input device by a background assessment of the user'"'"'s activities with the input device; wherein, for the background assessment of the user'"'"'s activities with the input device, the processing system is caused to; receive at least one signal from the input device for non-accessibility enhanced target software that is unable to perform the background assessment; determine, from the at least one signal, by an adaptation module, the proficiency of the user with the input device and that an adjustment of the modification of the operational characteristic of the interface is required; and wherein, to adjust the modification of the operational characteristic of the interface, the processing system is caused to; adjust the at least one signal; provide the adjusted at least one signal to the non-accessibility enhanced target software; and wherein the modification of the operational characteristic of the interface is adjusted based on the background assessment. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12, 13)

14. A system comprising:
-
a processing module; a memory device including an adaptive software module; and an input device, wherein the processing module performs a proficiency test for the input device, wherein the proficiency test evaluates a quality of user input supplied to the input device; wherein the processing module evaluates a user proficiency of the input device by a background assessment of the user'"'"'s activities with the input device; and wherein, for the background assessment of the user'"'"'s activities with the input device, the processing module is configured to; receive at least one signal from the input device for non-accessibility enhanced target software that is unable to perform the background assessment; determine, from the at least one signal, by an adaptation module, the proficiency of the user with the input device and that an adjustment of modification of the operational characteristic of an interface is required; and wherein to adjust the modification of the operational characteristic of the interface, the processing module is configured to; adjust the at least one signal; provide the adjusted at least one signal to the non-accessibility enhanced target software; and wherein the modification of the operational characteristic of the interface is adjusted based on the background assessment. - View Dependent Claims (15, 16, 17)
