Systems and methods for realtime creation and modification of a dynamic media player and disabled user compliant video player

摘要

Methods and systems for a disabled user compliant video player for an end-to-end streaming web video solution affording accessibility for disabled users, including blind users and those with partial or poor vision, colorblind users, deaf users and those limited to only keyboard/voice input. Another embodiment of the present invention is directed to systems and methods for real-time creation and modification of specialized media players, to be used as stand-alone applications or as embedded data display applications.

1. A data processing system configured to dynamically modify a custom media player, the system comprising:
one or more computer processors configured to perform dynamic modification of a custom designed media player using a player designer system including: an asset manager configured to allow a user to associate player parameter assets with player block components defined in the custom designed player, such that the player parameter assets are configured to control behavior of the player block components; a player parameter cache storing the player parameter assets, the player parameter cache configured to facilitate dynamic modification of the custom designed media player by the user; and a compiler, in communication with the asset manager, configured to modify the custom designed media player such that the player block components are configured to communicate indirectly with each other in response to detecting changes to the player parameter assets; the player designer system enabling dynamic configuration of the custom designed media player as disabled user compliant, such that the custom designed media player is specifically configured to enable disabled end-users to access and consume video content without use of Assisted Technologies (AT); and the player designer system is configured to provide an end-to-end solution for a disabled user by configuring an accessibility link on a home page associated with the disabled user, the accessibility link linking to an online representation of video content in the disabled user's video library, providing an Access Map; wherein the Access Map is dynamically generated from a data feed of the client system's video library contents associated with the custom designed video player; and the Access Map further being dynamically generated with links to a disabled user compliant RSS feeds page, a disabled user compliant accessibility help page, and the disabled user compliant custom designed media player.
