Cloud4All automatic personalised access

This presentation at ApacheCon EU by Steve Lee explores the Cloud4All project, aiming to create a collaborative portal that enhances access to assistive technologies across Europe. The initiative focuses on automatic personalization of user devices to simplify accessibility, enabling users to define preferences and select relevant features. Collaborating with various stakeholders, including developers and service providers, Cloud4All is working towards an inclusive solution that meets diverse user needs. Join the effort to build a future where technology is accessible for all.

  1. Cloud4Allautomatic personalised access ApacheCon EU Nov 2012 Steve Lee steve@opendirective.com @SteveALee

  2. Using essential interwebservices

  3. Access Assumptions

  4. Access for all

  5. Sometimes we need adaptations

  6. Common approaches

  7. However…

  8. Complex selection Users Supporters Suppliers and service providers Developersand manufacturers

  9. ATIS4all thematic network and portal Working together to build up an European entry point on ICT assistive technologies and inclusive solutions The ATIS4all collaborative portal - to be completed at the end 2013 - is being developed in collaboration with ETNA thematic network and EASTIN Association.   Become one of our supporters! www.atis4all.eu

  10. Another approach… Automatic-personalisation of devices Define personal preferences Select relevant device features and solutions Configure best possible match

  11. International collaboration :

  12. Other goals • Simplify Accessibility - standards • Increase built-in accessibility – ref models • Grow Market for AT, accessibility and services • Facilitate cross-sector collaboration

  13. Features • Collection of user preferences • Market place for AT and services • Support for making recommendations • Provide developer standards and tools

  14. In use

  15. Progress so far Project is experimental Academic research - egontologies Architecture dev team Commercial solution providers adding 1 year in – no major outputs yet We think important are so monitoring

  16. Architecture overview

  17. User Preferences

  18. Device capabilities

  19. Matching

  20. Configure Solutions

  21. Our contribution • Extending an existing solution • Dementia patients and carers • Potential for Learning Difficulties

  22. Our contribution • Tech Details • Entry in the Solution Regstry • New JSON Settings handler • Configure Lifecycle Manager • Test Profiles

  23. Effort

  24. A User Profile { "display": { "screenEnhancement": { "applications": { "net.opendirective.maavis": { "name": "maavis", "priority": 100, "parameters": { "theme": "bw" } } } } } }

  25. Solution life cycle (dev version) • User Logs in (simulates listener) • Retrieve user settings • Set Maavissettings • Launch Maavis • User logs out (simulates listener) • Restore Maavissettings • Exit Maavis

  26. Solution { "name": "maavis", "id": "net.opendirective.maavis", "contexts": { "OS": [ { "id": "win32", "version": ">=5.0" } ] }, "settingsHandlers": [ { "type": "gpii.settingsHandlers.noSettings", "capabilities": [ "display.screenEnhancement.applications.net\\.opendirective\\.maavis.name" ] } ] } }

  27. Settings Handler gpii.settingsHandlers.JSONSettingsHandler.set = function(profile) { var app = fluid.copy(profile); for (varappId in app) { for (var j = 0; j < app[appId].length; j++) { // load the default settings used by MAAVIS varpath = app[appId][j].options.path; vardefaultSettings = require(path); // record differences between required and default settings // so that they default settings can be restored varrequiredSettings = app[appId][j].settings; varchangedSettings = fluid.copy(requiredSettings); for (varsettingKey in requiredSettings) { varoldValue = defaultSettings[settingKey]; varnewValue = requiredSettings[settingKey]; changedSettings[settingKey] = { "oldValue": oldValue, "newValue": newValue }; } app[appId][j].settings = changedSettings; // merge the required settings and default settings // this means required settings overwrite default settings fluid.merge(null, defaultSettings, requiredSettings); // Write the new settings to a file for MAAVIS to read fs.writeFileSync(path, JSON.stringify(defaultSettings)); } }

  28. Lifecycle manager "lifecycleManager": { "start": [ "setSettings", { "type": "gpii.launch.exec", "command": "${{environment}.ComSpec} /c \"cd ${{environment}.MAAVIS_HOME} && MaavisPortable.cmd\"" } ], "stop": [ { "type": "gpii.launch.exec", "command": "${{environment}.SystemRoot}\\System32\\taskkill.exe /f /im firefox.exe" }, "restoreSettings" ] }

  29. Demo Maavis

  30. Further contribution • Building into W3C Widget templates • Within Apache Wookie (Incubating) • Any widget therefore Cloud4All “compliant” • Apache Rave – Clou4All compatible systems

  31. Get involved • Building W3C Widgets? • Use Apache Wookie (Incubating) • http://www.apache.org • wookie-dev-subscribe@incubator.apache.org • Building other applications? • Use cases being built now • Standards will be published • http://cloud4all.info
