Description

Color Blind Adjustment Technology

This disclosure relates to color blindness adjustment techniques.

Monitors are available to display various color gamuts and color spaces. In some implementations, a user may choose to adjust the monitor's color values according to his personal preference.

According to one embodiment of the present invention, a system is provided, which includes: a processor; and a memory communicatively coupled to the processor and storing machine-readable instructions, the machine-readable instructions being processed by when executed, causes the processor to: receive a color blindness configuration corresponding to a color blindness type; receive an adjustment to a display based at least on the color blindness configuration; generate a second color blindness configuration corresponding to the adjustment; and In response to generating the second color-blindness configuration, a filter is applied to the display, wherein the filter is based at least on the second color-blindness configuration and augments on-screen display elements.

In the following description and drawings, some exemplary implementation aspects of a system for operating a display device, monitor, user interface (UI), and/or computer-readable medium are described. In the examples described herein, a "display device" or "display" is an electronic device capable of visually presenting content. Such a display may include a screen, such as a liquid crystal display (LCD) panel, an organic light emitting diode (OLED) panel, a micro light emitting diode (μLED), or other display technology. In some examples, a display may also include circuitry to operate the screen, such as a monitor scaler. A display can be an external peripheral device of a host computer, such as a monitor connectable to a desktop computer, or can be an integrated component, such as a multipurpose desktop computer, a laptop computer, A tablet computer, or a mobile phone.

A user of such devices can visually access content from a display by producing colors on a screen that are associated with a source image. In this way, colors can be reproduced on different devices based on the source image. However, many devices have a limited, device-specific color gamut, so not all displays reproduce colors in the same way.

Some users may perceive colors displayed by a display differently than other users. For example, if one viewer is color blind and the other viewer is not color blind, the two viewers of a display may perceive the display as appearing in different colors. Some computer systems include the ability to adjust displayable colors to aid in personalized visualization, such as to assist users with color blindness. For example, a computer application may have the ability to set the colors of an image source to appear in a "color-blind mode," in which certain common colors outside the range of color-blind perception are exchanged for colors within the range of color-blind perception. Even though many color-blind people fall into a particular category, such as deuteranopia or protanopia, each person's perception of color can have an individual tolerance. In this way, a general presupposition can be limited in terms of assistive abilities for each and every affected person. Any use of the word "color" described herein may include hue, for example, such that a difference between colors may be more properly described for a colorblind user as a difference between hues .

The various examples described below relate to coordinating the rendering of colors according to a user's personalized color profile. As described herein, a system may receive a color blindness profile corresponding to a color blindness type (eg, deuteranopia, protanopia, etc.). The system receives an adjustment for a display based on the color blindness configuration. The system generates a second colorblind configuration based on the adjustment. The system applies the second color-blind configuration and augments the color representation of elements on the screen.

FIG. 1 illustrates a system 100 for color blindness adjustment according to an example. Processor 102 of system 100 may be implemented as dedicated hardware circuitry or as a virtualized logical processor. The dedicated hardware circuitry can be implemented as a central processing unit (CPU). A dedicated hardware CPU can be implemented as a single-core to multi-core general-purpose processor. A dedicated hardware CPU can also be implemented as a multi-chip solution, where more than one CPU is connected by a bus and processing tasks are scheduled across more than one CPU.

A virtualized logical processor can be implemented across a distributed computing environment. A virtualized logical processor may not have a dedicated piece of hardware supporting it. Instead, a virtualized logical processor may have a resource pool supporting a task that is provisioned for that task. In this aspect of implementation, the virtualized logical processors may execute on hardware circuitry; however, the hardware circuitry is not dedicated circuitry. The hardware circuitry may be located in a shared environment exploited in time slices. In some implementations, the virtualized logical processor includes a software layer between any executing applications and the hardware circuitry to handle any abstraction that also monitors and stores application state. A virtual machine (VM) may be an implementation of a virtualized logical processor.

A memory 104 can be implemented in the system 100 . The memory 104 may be dedicated hardware circuitry hosting instructions for execution by the processor 102 . In another implementation aspect, the memory 104 may be a virtualized logical memory. Similar to processor 102, dedicated hardware circuitry may be implemented by means of dynamic random access memory (DRAM) or other hardware implementations for storing processor instructions. Additionally, virtualized logical memory may be implemented in a software abstraction that allows instructions 106 to be executed on a virtualized logical processor independent of any specific hardware implementation.

System 100 may also include instructions 106 . The instructions 106 may be implemented in a platform-specific language that the processor 102 can decode and execute. Instructions 106 may be stored in memory 104 during execution. The instructions, when executed, enable the processor to receive a color blindness configuration 108 corresponding to a color blindness type, receive an adjustment 110 to a display based at least on the color blindness configuration, generate a second color blindness group corresponding to the adjustment state 112, and in response to generating the second color-blind configuration, applying a filter to the display, wherein the filter is based at least on the second color-blind configuration and augments on-screen display elements 114.

In one example, instructions for receiving a color blindness profile 108 corresponding to a color blindness type may include a user interface. The user interface may be incorporated into a monitor (not shown) attached to the system. The monitor can incorporate a menu system to be presented as an overlay on a video stream. The menu system can be controlled using an internal scaler processor. The menu system can be navigated by a physical interface such as button inputs or a multi-way switch. In another implementation, the menu system can be touch enabled, wherein the monitor can detect a touch input on the display screen and translate the input into an interaction with the menu system. The menu system may indicate a type of color blindness as a selectable on-screen display element. A color blindness type may correspond to a color blind configuration. A color blindness configuration may include a set of predefined color adjustments for a monitor that amplifies displayed colors in one wavelength associated with the color blindness type to another wavelength. For example, if a user selects deuteranomaly, monitors associated with red and green wavelengths may be identified as a colorblind configuration with a predefined set of color adjustments.

In another implementation, the instructions for receiving a color blindness configuration 108 corresponding to a color blindness type may incorporate a software application. The software application can be executed on a computing device connected to the monitor. A video stream from the computing device to the monitor can travel a data path across a standardized video communication interface. For example, the computing device can be connected to the monitor via a High Definition Multimedia Interface (HDMI) cable. A software application may include an interface separate from the menu system described above. The software API may be an interface executable in an operating system environment and provides graphical elements within a video stream sent to a monitor for display. A software application may include an option for a color-blind configuration similar to that described in the implementation that includes a monitor. The software application can communicate the color blindness configuration to the monitor via a communication channel. In one implementation, the communication channel may be a Universal Serial Bus (USB). The software application provides the selected color blindness profile to the monitor via the USB, and the monitor applies the selected color blindness profile to the display. The software application did not adjust the video stream before entering the monitor.

In another example, the command to receive an adjustment 110 of a display based at least on color blindness configuration may correspond to an additional input from the monitor menu system via a user interface. This adjustment can be expressed as an adjustment to the red, green and blue (RGB) values of the display after applying the colorblind configuration. Alternatively, the adjustment can be in other color spaces (HSV, YUV, etc.), depending on user preference and display configuration. The adjustment may be a user-specified augmentation of a colorblind configuration. This adjustment is expected to vary by a small margin from colorblind configurations.

In a software application example, instructions to receive an adjustment 110 of a display based at least on a colorblind configuration may correspond to an additional input on the computing device via a user interface. Similar to implementations involving monitors, the adjustment may correspond to a user-selected color space, and small increments are expected from colorblind configurations. Additionally, the software application can send adjustments to the monitor via a communication channel such as USB.

The instructions generate a second colorblindness configuration 112 corresponding to one of the adjustments. In both the instance including the monitor and the software application instance, the monitor applies the adjustment as a delta to the colorblind configuration. For example, if a red value has been increased by a value, the second color blindness configuration red value may combine the color blindness configuration red value plus the adjusted red delta.

The instructions for applying a filter to the display in response to generating the second color-blindness configuration, wherein the filtering is based at least on the second color-blindness configuration and expanding the on-screen display element 114 may correspond to a monitor display A colorful show. For example, upon generation of the second color blindness configuration, the monitor applies a filter to the received video stream. In one implementation, the filtering may be applied by a scaler internal to a monitor, as opposed to a scaler integrated into a graphics processing unit (GPU). The filtering can be applied transparently from a host computing device. This filtering augments the color representation of the image being rendered. The on-screen display elements may correspond to the monitor display elements, separate from the received video images. On-screen display elements may include menus, calibration crosshairs for video games, timer displays, input selections, and the like, which are traditionally represented by a monitor separate from the computing device providing the video stream. Filtering may be applied to make on-screen display elements more visible to color-blind viewers looking at the video stream.

In another implementation aspect, the processor is executable to execute instructions for sending the second color-blind configuration to a communicatively coupled color-configurable device. A second colorblind configuration can be populated via USB from the monitor to a software application executing on the computing device. The software application can determine whether a color-configurable device is coupled to the computing device. The communicatively coupled color configurable device may include accessories such as RGB mice, headsets, keyboards, ambient lighting, and the like. In one implementation aspect, the communicatively coupled color configurable device may include a non-color-blind configurable display enabled as a secondary display.

In one example, the processor is executable to receive from a second display a display configuration corresponding to a capability of the second display. In this example, the second display can be a heterogeneous monitor from a different manufacturer. The second display may differ from the monitor in size and capabilities. A second display can present an extended display identification data (EDID) signal to the computing device after connection. EDID can be propagated to software applications. The software application can parse the EDID of the second display to determine the characteristics of the display, including but not limited to resolution, color space, available refresh rates, and the like. The software application can receive the second color blindness configuration from the monitor. Based on the EDID, the software application can determine whether the second display can implement the second color blindness configuration. If the second display can receive and apply the second color-blindness configuration, the software application can create a third color-blindness configuration. The third color-blindness configuration corresponds to the display configuration as the second display receiving EDID and the previously generated second color-blindness configuration. The software application can send the third colorblind configuration to the second display across a communication channel such as USB. The reception of the third color-blind configuration corresponds to an adjustment of the second display so that the color profile of the second display matches the color profile of the monitor.

2A and 2B are simplified diagrams of a monitor 200 incorporating color blindness adjustment, according to an example. FIG. 2A illustrates the physical components associated with monitor 200 . In this example, monitor 200 provides the basis for populating a user ecosystem with selected color blindness configurations. Monitor 200 may interface with one or more computing devices associated with a user. Monitor 200 propagates the user's color blindness configuration across any computing device with which monitor 200 interacts.

In this example, monitor 200 may include a system on chip (SoC) 202 and a memory 204 . SoC 202 may differ from processor 102 from FIG. 1 . In this illustration, the memory 204 is shown as a discrete component for clarity. Likewise, the non-volatile memory 212 is shown as a discrete component for clarity. SoC 202 can incorporate in a single integrated package most of all common components of a computing system, including but not limited to central processing unit (CPU), memory, input/output (I/O) controllers, storage, and graphics processor. The memory 204 shown in FIG. 2 may be integrated into the SoC 202 or separate from the SoC. SoC 202 can be communicatively coupled to memory 204 through a memory bus. In another implementation aspect, SoC 202 may be communicatively coupled to a non-volatile memory storage, such as flash memory. Non-volatile memory storage may be configured to store color blindness configurations and adjustments when the monitor 200 is cycled on and off. SoC 202 may incorporate an I/O controller for managing an external communication channel 208, such as USB or Thunderbolt ^™ technology. The communication channel 208 can communicatively connect the monitor 200 and a computing device 210 .

Computing device 210 may correspond to an attached personal computer, tablet computer, mobile handset, or the like. Computing device 210 may be one of many devices associated with a user. In certain stationary work environments where a user may use one or more computing devices, the computing device 210 may interface with the monitor 200 via the communication channel 208 .

Inside the monitor is a display 206 . As mentioned above, the display 206 may be implemented using several technologies (eg, OLED, LCD, etc.). Display 206 can be used to visualize a colorblind configuration. The display 206 can be controlled by a graphics processor (not shown) of the SoC 202 .

Figure 2B illustrates the commands used to implement a colorblind configuration. The instructions may be implemented in memory 204 of monitor 200 and executed by SoC 202 . These instructions can be stored in non-volatile memory 212 and loaded into memory 204 after being activated or recalled by monitor 200 . In describing these commands, the features described with reference to FIG. 1 may be combined. For example, the input method for a monitor 200 may correspond to that of the system 100 of FIG. 1 .

In one example, the instruction 250 to receive a color blindness configuration corresponding to a color blindness type may be entered into the monitor 200 by a user input. The user input may correspond to the actuation of a button combination or switch on the monitor 200, as described with reference to FIG. 1 . Actuation of button combinations or switches may correspond to movement of on-screen display elements used to navigate a menu representing a menu. The menu may combine different types of color blindness that a user may select. In another implementation, the user input may correspond to a touch screen display. The user can make a selection by directly touching the display 206, thereby indicating the selected color blindness type.

These instructions may cause the processor to store the color blindness configuration in non-volatile memory storage 252 . Once the color blindness type is selected and accepted, the SoC 202 can store the color blindness type in the non-volatile memory 212 as a color blindness configuration. In one aspect of implementation, the color blindness configuration corresponds to one of the predefined color configurations for each color blindness type. Each color blindness category may have a configuration stored in non-volatile memory as a set of predefined color blindness configurations. In this implementation aspect, SoC 202 may store a mapping to an index in a look-up table corresponding to the associated predefined color configuration. In some implementation aspects, adjustments to one of the predefined color profiles may be stored with the index and applied after indexing into the set of predefined color profiles.

The instructions may cause SoC 202 to receive a notification 254 from the communication channel that a computing device has been attached. Communication channel 208 may carry a notification to SoC 202 indicating that a computing device has been attached. In some implementation aspects, the computing device 210 may send an attach notification across the communication channel 208 upon discovery of continuity between another device. Based on this notification, SoC 202 can interpret the type of computing device 208 attached.

The instructions may cause SoC 202 to retrieve the colorblindness configuration 256 from non-volatile memory in response to the notification. In this aspect of implementation, SoC 202 can retrieve the colorblindness configuration based on the index. SoC 202 can index into non-volatile memory and retrieve a colorblind configuration from a set of predefined color configurations. SoC 202 may store the retrieved color blindness configuration in memory 204 . SoC 202 may also use any adjustments stored in non-volatile memory, along with an index corresponding to the type of color blindness, to modify the color blindness configuration stored in memory. SoC 202 may increment or decrement any value of the retrieved colorblindness configuration based on the adjustment.

The instructions may cause SoC 202 to send the colorblind configuration to computing device 258 . SoC 202 may package the colorblindness configuration resident in memory 204 and any applied adjustments, if any, for transfer to computing device 210 . SoC 202 may encapsulate the color-blind configuration in a form suitable for communication channel 208 such that upon receipt at computing device 210, the computing device may properly decode the packet. In this example, after the computing device 210 receives the color-blind configuration, the computing device can affect the color-blind configuration on any display associated with it. For example, if computing device 210 is a laptop, the received color blindness configuration can be applied to a display inside the laptop, thereby matching the color blindness configuration of both computing device 210 and monitor 200 .

3A and 3B are illustrations of user interfaces 300A, 300B for adjusting overlay elements for color blindness, according to an example. FIG. 3A illustrates an implementation aspect of a colorblind configuration selection user interface. On display 206, a color blind overlay 302 may be displayed. In this illustration, an Ishihara board is used to illustrate the connection to color blindness. However, the colorblind overlay 302 could be a more common on-screen display element, such as a menu element (for configuring a display), a certain crosshair (for video games), a timer interface tool set (for speed operation), the above are just a few examples. Color blindness overlay 302 allows the user to view a visual representation of the color blindness configuration for a selected color blindness type. A user may select one of the options in the colorblind configuration user interface 304 . Once selected, whether by a touch input registered on the display, or by navigating through a traditional button on the display, the user can view the color filtering applied based on the selected color blindness configuration. After selecting a color blindness type, the corresponding color blindness configuration can be saved to the memory.

FIG. 3B illustrates an implementation aspect of a color blind adjustment selection user interface 306 . Similar to the color blindness configuration selection user interface 304, the color blindness adjustment selection user interface 306 allows the user to adjust the color blindness configuration. As mentioned above, this adjustment allows the user to adapt the colorblind configuration to their personal preference. In this example, three value sliders are depicted in the colorblind configuration selection UI 306 . The three value sliders may correspond to a value corresponding to the color space of the display 206 . The user can manipulate the three value sliders in a manner similar to how the colorblind configuration selection UI 304 is manipulated. As the user manipulates the color blindness adjustment user interface 306, the color blindness overlay 302 is updated to reflect those changes.

FIG. 3C is an illustration of a system 300C that incorporates color-blind adjustments for color-configurable devices. In this system 300C, a display 206 can be integrated into a monitor 312 . Monitor 312 can be integrated into a larger system 300C to include a computing device 308 (shown as a desktop computer) and an accessory 310 (shown as a color-configurable mouse). The monitor 312 can be communicatively coupled to the computing device 308 using a standardized video transmission cable such as HDMI or Display Port (not shown). Computing device 308 may also be connected to monitor 312 via a communication channel such as USB. Additionally, the accessory 310 can be communicatively coupled to the computing device 308 wirelessly or via a wire. In wired implementations, accessory 310 can be connected via a USB interface. In wireless implementations, accessory 310 can be communicatively coupled via a wireless standard such as BluetoothR, or using a USB radio frequency receiver.

As a user interface with system 300C, display 206 and on-screen display elements 302 may be updated to reflect any selections or adjustments from color blindness adjustment user interface 306 in a manner similar to user interfaces 300A, 300B. Additionally, computing device 308 may receive notification from monitor 312 that a color blindness configuration or adjustment has been received. The computing device 308 can transmit the color blindness configuration or adjustment to the accessory 310 . As the user interacts with the color blindness adjustment user interface 306, the accessory 310 can replicate the changes made by the user.

In another implementation aspect, accessory 310 can be communicatively coupled to monitor 312 via a wired or wireless connection. In this aspect of implementation, monitor 312 can receive a notification from accessory 310 that the accessory has attached to the monitor. Monitor 312 can determine the capabilities of accessory 310 . For example, monitor 312 can query accessory 310 to determine whether the accessory is a color-configurable device. After determining whether the accessory 310 is a color-configurable device and can accept a color-blind configuration, the monitor 312 can establish an accessory color-blind configuration based on the capability of the accessory 310 . The accessory colorblindness configuration can correspond to a color palette based on the selected colorblindness configuration that accessory 310 is capable of displaying. If accessory 310 is capable of accepting the accessory colorblindness configuration, monitor 312 can send the accessory colorblindness configuration to accessory 310 . If the capabilities of accessory 310 are not capable of displaying the accessory's color-blind configuration, monitor 312 can retrieve the color-blind configuration from non-volatile memory and send the color-blind configuration to accessory 310 .

In another example, after sending the capabilities from accessory 310 to monitor 312, the accessory can transmit a unique identifier. Monitor 312 may receive a unique identifier. Monitor 312 can store the accessory blinding configuration in non-volatile memory based on the unique identifier. The unique identifier, when subsequently received from monitor 312, indicates that the same accessory 310 was previously connected to the monitor, and monitor 312 can thereby retrieve and administer the accessory blinding configuration.

FIG. 4 shows a computing device 400 for supporting color-blind adjustment commands according to an example. The computing device 400 shows a processor 102 and a storage medium 404 , and taking the computing device 400 as an example for its operation, the storage medium 404 may include instructions 406 to 418 executable by the processor 102 . Processor 102 may be synonymous with processor 102 referenced in FIG. 1 . Additionally, processor 102 may include, but is not limited to, a central processing unit (CPU). The storage medium 404 can be said to be used to store program instructions that, when executed by the processor 102 , implement components of the computing device 400 .

The executable program instructions stored in the storage medium 404 include, for example, instructions for receiving a color blindness configuration corresponding to a color blindness type 406, for accessing a lookup table corresponding to the color blindness configuration, and for using Instructions 408 for storing presets in one of a set of colorblind filters, instructions 410 for retrieving a filter from a set of colorblind filters, instructions 412 for receiving a user-specified adjustment, instructions for at least based on the user instructions for specifying adjustments and the color-blind filtering to create a second color-blindness configuration 414, instructions for adjusting a display based at least on the second color-blindness configuration, wherein the adjustments augment an on-screen display element 416, and using Instructions 418 to send the second color-blind configuration to a communicatively coupled color-configurable device.

Storage medium 404 generally represents any number of memory components capable of storing instructions executable by processor 102 . The storage medium 404 is non-transitory in the sense that it does not include a transitory signal but consists of at least one memory element configured to store associated instructions. As a result, storage medium 404 may be a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium. Storage medium 404 may be implemented in a single device or distributed among devices. Likewise, processor 102 represents any number of processors capable of executing instructions stored by storage medium 404 . Processor 102 may be integrated in a single device, or distributed among devices. Furthermore, the storage medium 404 may be fully or partially integrated in the same device as the processor 102 , or may be separate but accessible by the computing device 400 and the processor 102 .

In one example, the program instructions 406 to 418 may be part of an installation kit that, when installed, is executable by the processor 102 to implement components located in the computing device 400 . In this case, the storage medium 404 may be a portable medium such as a CD, DVD, or flash drive, or a memory maintained by a server from which the installation kit may be downloaded and Install. In another example, the program instructions may be part of an installed application or applications. Here, the storage medium 404 may include integrated memory, such as a hard disk drive, solid state drive, or the like.
