System and method for disabled user assistance

Abstract

Embodiments of a system and method for assisting disabled users can include: a display configured to receive an input from the disabled user; a set of tactile cues proximal the display; and a processing system configured to: store an assistance map, and map the touch input to a digital input based on the assistance map.

We claim: 
     
         1 . A system for assisting a disabled user with a point of sale (POS) transaction, the system comprising:
 a first touch display configured to receive a first touch input from the disabled user;   a secure processing system configured to:
 store an assistance map and a non-assistance map, operate between:
 an assistance mode, wherein the secure processing system maps the first touch input to a first digital input associated with the POS transaction based on the assistance map, and 
 a non-assistance mode, wherein the secure processing system maps a second touch input from a non-disabled user to a second digital input based on the non-assistance map, and 
 
 encrypt the first digital input; and 
   a main processing system coupled to, and distinct from, the secure processing system, wherein the main processing system is configured to:
 receive the encrypted first digital input from the secure processing system, and 
 transmit the encrypted first digital input to a remote entity associated with the POS transaction.
