Problems solved by technology

However, these tools do not protect end users from insecure content created by malicious or irresponsible authors
As a result, individuals with epilepsy may be at risk when using a browser
Additionally, individuals suffering from epileptic seizures may be unable to navigate away from harmful content due to seizures, thus increasing the risk of unsafe content

Embodiment Construction

[0012] Seizures of epilepsy may be caused by certain flashes of light or repetitive patterns. For example, flashing lights, flashing lights through leaves, and certain videos and animations are all known triggers of epileptic seizures. Certain factors may affect whether it is safe to show certain animations to individuals with epilepsy. For example, an image may not be safe to display if it contains more than three typical flashes of light within a one second period. Likewise, if an image contains more than three red flashes within the same time period, the image may also be unsafe. In addition, the size of the flashing area is also decisive in showing whether the image is safe or not. For example, it may not be safe for an individual with epilepsy to view certain animations displayed over a large portion of the screen. However, when the same animation is displayed in a very small portion of the screen, it may appear safe to display.

Abstract

Embodiments of the present invention provide a browser that is safe for use by individuals with epilepsy. Embodiments of the invention include: retrieving content in response to a request from a user; identifying one or more unsafe portions of the retrieved content; modifying the one or more unsafe portions to be safe for epilepsy ; and display the modified content to the user.

Description

technical field [0001] Embodiments of the invention relate generally to browsers, and more particularly, to providing browsers to individuals with epilepsy. Background technique [0002] Epilepsy is the best known type of photosensitive seizure disorder, with an estimated 1 in 4,000 people being diagnosed with photosensitive seizure disorder. Certain flashes of light, certain images, and other repetitive patterns may trigger seizures in individuals with epilepsy. Additionally, certain web pages displayed in a web browser may trigger these episodes. Currently, responsible web designers can take proactive steps to ensure that their web pages are safe for individuals with epilepsy to view. Current standards for creating secure content include Section 508 of the Workforce Investment Act of 1998 (Section 508 of the Workforce Investment Act of 1998), Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 1.0 and 2.0, HFES 200 Software User Interface Standard (HFES 200 Software User Interf...
