Adaptive, portable, multi-sensory aid for the disabled

摘要

A mobile terminal is used to assist individuals with disabilities. The mobile terminal (e.g., a "smartphone" or other commercially available wireless handheld device) may be loaded with software. The software may be configured to: (i) receive information about a sensory deficit associated with a user, (ii) receive information about a sensory proficiency associated with the user, (iii) determine whether an event associated with a sensory deficit satisfies a criterion, and if so (iv) provide an assistive output based on a sensory proficiency and the event.
