1. A method, comprising:
- modifying, by a data processing system, an operational characteristic of an interface of the data processing system; and
evaluating a user proficiency of an input device by a background assessment of a 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 the at least one signal; and
providing the adjusted at least one signal to the non-accessibility enhanced target software;
wherein the data processing system determines a number of stable input signal levels that are derived from a variable level input signal.

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.

9. A non-transitory computer-readable medium having computer-executable instructions for execution by a processing system that, when executed, cause the processing system to:
-
modify, by a data processing system, an operational characteristic of an interface of the data processing system; and evaluate a user proficiency of an input device by a background assessment of a user'"'"'s activities with the input device; wherein the background assessment of the user'"'"'s activities with the input device comprises; 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; wherein the adjustment of the modification of the operational characteristic of the interface comprises; the at least one signal being adjusted; and the adjusted at least one signal being provided to the non-accessibility enhanced target software; wherein the data processing system determines a number of stable input signal levels that are derived from a variable level input signal. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15)
