Abstract: Systems and methods for providing haptic feedback in a home automation monitoring system are provided. A method for providing haptic feedback in a home automation system includes receiving an electronic command by a home automation controller, from a haptic feedback remote control device. The home automation controller determines whether the electronic command is associated with a user interface control condition stored in a haptic effects database. If so, the home automation controller accesses the haptic effects database to identify a first haptic feedback effect associated with the determined user interface control condition, and transmits a first haptic feedback command indicating the first haptic feedback effect to the haptic feedback remote control device. A haptic feedback element in the haptic feedback remote control device is then activated to provide the first haptic feedback effect to a user of the haptic feedback remote control device.

Abstract: Haptic feedback remote control systems and methods are provided. A method for providing haptic feedback to a user of a haptic feedback remote control device includes receiving, by a receiving device, an electronic command issued from the haptic feedback remote control device. The receiving device transmits a haptic feedback command to the haptic feedback remote control device. Based on the received haptic feedback command, the haptic feedback remote control activates a haptic feedback device, within the haptic feedback remote control, to provide a haptic feedback effect to a user of the haptic feedback remote control device.

Abstract: Described are systems, methods and computer program products for generating accessible interface elements to facilitate presentation of alternative versions of a user interface or portions thereof to a user, such as a user having a disability. The disclosed systems, methods, and products allow users having a disability to more easily interact with and/or understand the user interfaces of consumer electronic devices. The disclosed systems, methods, and computer program products may facilitate obtaining images of the user interface and analyzing the images to convert, modify, or otherwise generate an accessible interface, or a portion thereof, for presentation to the user. For example, alternative interface presentations may be generated to allow a blind, deaf, low-vision, or color blind user to more easily understand and interact with the user interface.
