EXTERNAL ACCESSIBILITY SYSTEMS AND METHODS
First Claim
1. A method, comprising:
- obtaining, by a computing device, an image of a graphical interface using an image capture device, wherein the graphical interface corresponds to a consumer electronic device different from the computing device;
analyzing the image to identify an interface element;
generating an accessible interface element using the interface element, wherein the accessible interface element corresponds to a different presentation of the interface element to facilitate use by a user; and
outputting an audio or visual output of the accessible interface element.

Abstract
Described are systems, methods and computer program products for generating accessible interface elements to facilitate presentation of alternative versions of a user interface or portions thereof to a user, such as a user having a disability. The disclosed systems, methods, and products allow users having a disability to more easily interact with and/or understand the user interfaces of consumer electronic devices. The disclosed systems, methods, and computer program products may facilitate obtaining images of the user interface and analyzing the images to convert, modify, or otherwise generate an accessible interface, or a portion thereof, for presentation to the user. For example, alternative interface presentations may be generated to allow a blind, deaf, low-vision, or color blind user to more easily understand and interact with the user interface.

34. A system, comprising:
-
one or more processors; and a non-transitory computer readable storage medium in data communication with the one or more processors, wherein non-transitory computer readable storage medium includes processor-readable instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to perform operations including; obtaining an image of a graphical interface using an image capture device, wherein the graphical interface corresponds to a consumer electronic device different from the system; analyzing the image to identify an interface element; generating an accessible interface element using the interface element, wherein the accessible interface element corresponds to a different presentation of the interface element to facilitate use by a user; and outputting an audio or visual output of the accessible interface element. - View Dependent Claims (35, 36)

38. A receiver comprising:
-
one or more processors; an audio-video output interface in data communication with the one or more processors; a network interface in data communication with the one or more processors; and a non-transitory computer readable storage medium in data communication with the one or more processors, wherein non-transitory computer readable storage medium includes processor-readable instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to perform operations including; establishing a data connection with a remote computing device using the network interface; generating a graphical interface for output by a presentation device using the audio-video output interface; identifying an interface element of the graphical interface; generating an accessible interface element using the interface element, wherein the accessible interface element corresponds to a different presentation of the interface element to facilitate use by a user; and transmitting, using the network interface, a signal providing the accessible interface element to the remote computing device to facilitate an audio or visual presentation of the accessible interface element to a user. - View Dependent Claims (39, 40, 41)
