Abstract

Approaches for optimized computer display rendering for user vision conditions are provided. A computer-implemented method includes: detecting, by a computer device, a user at the computer device; sending, by the computer device, data associated with the user to a server; receiving, by the computer device, settings from the server; and automatically rendering, by the computer device, a display of the computer device using the settings.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A computer device comprising:
a display, a processor, a computer readable memory, a computer readable storage medium, and program instructions stored on the computer readable storage medium for execution by the processor that cause the computer device to:
detect a user at the computer device;
send data associated with the user to a server;
receive settings from the server;
render the display based on the received settings;
detect unprompted user actions associated with the display;
communicate with the server to determine new settings based on analyzing the unprompted user actions; and
re-render the display using the new settings.

2. The computer device of claim 1 , wherein:
the display is a visual output device; and
the rendering comprises adjusting resolution, color, contrast and brightness settings of the display.

3. The computer device of claim 1 , wherein the data associated with the user comprises data defining a vision condition of the user.

4. The computer device of claim 3 , wherein the vision condition comprises one selected from the group consisting of: protanopia, deuteranopia, tritanopia, and macular degeneration.

5. The computer device of claim 1 , wherein the detecting the user comprises detecting a device carried or worn by the user.

6. The computer device of claim 5 , wherein the computer device is configured to obtain the data associated with the user from the device carried or worn by the user.

7. The computer device of claim 6 , wherein the device carried or worn by the user comprises one or more selected from the group consisting of: an IoT device, a smartphone, and a wearable biometric device.

8. The computer device of claim 1 , wherein the detecting the user comprises a computer-based physical recognition technique.

9. The computer device of claim 8 , wherein the computer-based physical recognition technique comprises at least one from the group consisting of: facial recognition, finger print detection, retina and/or iris scanning, and voice recognition.

10. A computer program product comprising a computer readable storage medium having program instructions embodied therewith, the program instructions executable by a computer device to cause the computer device to:
detect a user at the computer device;
send data associated with the user to a server;
receive settings from the server;
render a display based on the received settings;
obtain feedback from the user; and
re-render the display based on the feedback,
wherein the feedback is obtained via cognitive analysis of unprompted user actions associated with the display.

11. A computer-implemented method comprising:
detecting a user at a computer device comprising a display;
determining, by the computer device, settings based on a vision condition of the user and in response to the detecting the user at the computer device;
rendering the display using the settings and in response to the detecting the user at the computer device;
detect unprompted user actions associated with the display;
determine new settings based on the analyzing the unprompted user actions; and
re-render the display using the new settings.

12. The computer-implemented method of claim 11 , wherein:
the display is a visual output device; and
the rendering comprises adjusting one or more selected from the group consisting of: resolution, color, contrast and brightness; and
the vision condition comprises one selected from the group consisting of: protanopia, deuteranopia, tritanopia, and macular degeneration.

13. The computer-implemented method of claim 11 , wherein the detecting the user comprises detecting a device carried or worn by the user, the device comprising one or more selected from the group consisting of: an IoT device, a smartphone, and a wearable biometric device.

14. The computer-implemented method of claim 13 , further comprising obtain data associated with the user from the device carried or worn by the user, the data including at least one selected from the group consisting of: a user identifier, and data defining the vision condition.
