Abstract

Disclosed herein are various embodiments for detecting predefined accessibility patterns for modifying a user interface of a mobile device. An embodiment operates by determining a plurality of pre-defined accessibility patterns each of which correspond to one or more user interactions by a user with a mobile device. Sensor data indicating that a user is unable to hold the mobile device steady is received. A first pre-defined accessibility pattern that corresponds to the indication that the user is unable to hold the mobile device steady is identified. A modification to a user interface is determined, and the user interface is modified in accordance with the determined modification corresponding to the first pre-defined accessibility pattern.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A computer-implemented method, comprising:
providing a list of input options, via a user interface displayed on a mobile device, for providing input to an application, wherein the list of input options includes an image capture option;
receiving, from one or more sensors of the mobile device, sensor data corresponding to one or more user interactions;
identifying a detected pre-defined accessibility pattern of a plurality of pre-defined accessibility patterns corresponding to a motion of the mobile device detected by the one or more sensors that corresponds to an indication that a user is unable to hold the mobile device steady with regards to performing the image capture option; and
removing the image capture option from the list of input options displayed via the user interface of the application based on the detected pre-defined accessibility pattern indicating that the user is unable to hold the mobile device steady.

2. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein the sensor data is received from an accelerometer.

3. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein the sensor data comprises camera data.

4. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , further comprising: reordering two or more of the input options displayed on the user interface.

5. The computer-implemented method of claim 4 , wherein the two or more input options that are reordered comprise two or more verification options for verifying an identity of the user.

6. The computer-implemented method of claim 5 , wherein the image capture option is related to capturing an image of a document that identifies the user.

7. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein the list of input options comprises alternative ways for the user to verify their identity.

8. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein the removed item is moved to a second user interface.

9. A system comprising at least one processor, the at least one processor configured to perform operations comprising:
providing a list of input options, via a user interface displayed on a mobile device, for providing input to an application, wherein the list of input options include an image capture option;
receiving, from one or more sensors of the mobile device, sensor data corresponding to one or more user interactions;
identifying a detected pre-defined accessibility pattern of a plurality of pre-defined accessibility patterns corresponding to a motion of the mobile device detected by the one or more sensors that corresponds to an indication that a user is unable to hold the mobile device steady with regards to performing the image capture option; and
removing the image capture option from the list of input options displayed via the user interface of the application based on the detected pre-defined accessibility pattern indicating that the user is unable to hold the mobile device steady.

10. The system of claim 9 , wherein the sensor data is received from an accelerometer.

11. The system of claim 9 , wherein the sensor data comprises camera data.

12. The system of claim 9 , further comprising: reordering two or more of the input options displayed on the user interface.

13. The system of claim 12 , wherein the two or more input options that are reordered comprise two or more verification options for verifying an identity of the user.

14. A non-transitory computer-readable medium having instructions stored thereon that, when executed by at least one computing device, cause the at least one computing device to perform operations comprising:
providing a list of alternative input options, via a user interface displayed on a mobile device, for providing input to an application, wherein the list of alternative input options include an image capture option;
receiving, from one or more sensors of the mobile device, sensor data corresponding to one or more user interactions;
identifying a detected pre-defined accessibility pattern of a plurality of pre-defined accessibility patterns corresponding to a motion of the mobile device detected by the one or more sensors that corresponds to an indication that a user is unable to hold the mobile device steady with regards to performing the image capture option; and
removing the image capture option from the list of alternative input options displayed via the user interface of the application based on the detected pre-defined accessibility pattern indicating that the user is unable to hold the mobile device steady.

15. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 14 , wherein the sensor data is received from an accelerometer.

16. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 14 , wherein the sensor data comprises camera data.

17. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 14 , further comprising: reordering two or more of the alternative input options displayed on the user interface.

18. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 17 , wherein the two or more alternative input options that are reordered comprise two or more verification options for verifying an identity of the user.
