Smart phone-based context-aware augmentative and alternative communications system

A smartphone-based context-aware augmentative and alternative communication(AAC) was applied was in order to enhance the user's experience by providing simple, adaptive, and intuitive interfaces. Various potential context-aware technologies and AAC usage scenarios were studied, and an efficient communication system was developed by combining smartphone's multimedia functions and its optimized sensor technologies. The experimental results show that context-awareness accuracy is achieved up to 97%.

Deep Neural Network-based Speaker-Aware Information Logging for Augmentative and Alternative Communication

People with complex communication needs can use a high-technology augmentative and alternative communication device to communicate with others.Currently,researchers and clinicians often use data logging from high-tech augmentative and alternative communication devices to analyze augmentative and alternative communication user performance.However,existing automated data logging systems cannot differentiate the authorship of the data log when more than one user accesses the device.This issue reduces the validity of the data logs and increases the difficulties of performance analysis.Therefore,this paper presents a solution using a deep neural network-based visual analysis approach to process videos to detect different augmentative and alternative communication users in practice sessions.This approach has significant potential to improve the validity of data logs and ultimately to enhance augmentative and alternative communication outcome measures.
