ABSTRACT:
A Computer System is designed to meet the needs of individuals with physical disabilities who use battery-powered wheelchairs. To accommodate these individuals' specialized needs, this computer system provides the infrastructure of a standardized Bus in a format that also incorporates specialized features. Providing a standardized Bus allows the use of cards which perform functions which otherwise would need to be met by adding external devices. Use of a standardized Bus also allows for ease of upgrade and repair. This standardized bus is then incorporated into a specialized format: 1) it has the capability to be powered by a portable power source, such as a power wheelchair's battery, so that it is consistently available in all environments and under a variety of conditions; 2) each component is able to be effectively mounted to a wheelchair in the optimal position for a specific individual; 3) all of the components are durable and weather resistant; 4) it is able to be maintained and operated throughout the day without requiring any assistance from an able-bodied individual for activities such as using the computer's on, off or reset controls; 5) its components are easily accessible, allowing for ease of upgrade and/or repair; and 6) the ports are redefinable, allowing for any combination required.
