INFORMATION HANDLING SYSTEM PERIPHERAL TEXT-TO-SPEECH SOLUTION WITH AUTOMATIC VOLUME ATTENUATION - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240028071 titled 'INFORMATION HANDLING SYSTEM PERIPHERAL TEXT-TO-SPEECH SOLUTION WITH AUTOMATIC VOLUME ATTENUATION

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes an accessibility device that connects to a display through a cable and converts onscreen menu items into audible speech. The device detects user interaction with the display and commands the onscreen items to be presented as audible sounds through a speaker. When the display has integrated speakers, the device adjusts the volume of the audible sounds to ensure that the menu items are heard clearly.

  • The device interfaces with a display through a cable.
  • It accepts onscreen menu items and converts them into audible speech.
  • User interaction with the display triggers the device to command onscreen items as audible sounds.
  • The device adjusts the volume of audible sounds presented by the display speakers.
  • It ensures that the onscreen menu items are presented with sufficient volume to be heard.

Potential Applications:

  • Assistive technology for individuals with visual impairments.
  • Accessibility feature for public displays or kiosks.
  • Integration into smart home devices or appliances with displays.

Problems Solved:

  • Lack of accessibility for individuals with visual impairments.
  • Difficulty in interacting with onscreen menu items without visual cues.
  • Inadequate volume or clarity of audible sounds from display speakers.

Benefits:

  • Improved accessibility and inclusivity for individuals with visual impairments.
  • Enhanced user experience for interacting with onscreen menu items.
  • Customizable volume adjustment for audible sounds presented by display speakers.


Original Abstract Submitted

an accessibility device interfaces with a display through a cable to accept display onscreen menu items for presentation as speech from the accessibility device. for instance, a scalar of the display detects an interface with an external accessibility device and an end user interaction with an onscreen display and, in response, commands onscreen items as audible sounds presented at a speaker of the accessibility device. when the display has integrated display speakers, the scalar adjusts any audible sounds presented by the display speakers to help ensure that the onscreen display menu items are presented with sufficient volume to be heard, such as by lower the volume or turning off the audible sounds presented from the display speakers.
