IoT for Real-time Accessibility Ontology Population to Context-awareness Adapt User Interfaces

Abstract

With the evolution of mobile devices such as laptops, tablets, smartphones, etc., the number of users has also increased, but it is difficult for some people due to their limited abilities. The Internet of Things (IoT) can make people's lives more convenient, and especially important for people with disabilities. This paper presents an approach to semantic representation using ontology. This approach is based on IoT to facilitate the real-time populating of the ontology in the context of adapting User Interfaces (UI) to people with disabilities such as sensory impairments (hearing and vision). IoT technology offers a great service to gain more autonomy and independence for people with disabilities.
