Abstract

The In-TIC system for mobile devices (in Spanish: Integration with Information and Communication Technologies system for mobile devices) represents an approach towards the area of technical aids for mobile devices. The mobile telephone is a device that makes our lives easier, allowing us to be permanently accessible and in contact, to save relevant information, and also for entertainment purposes. However, people with visual, auditory or motor impairment or the elderly still find these devices difficult to use. They have to overcome a range of difficulties when using mobile telephones: the screens are difficult to read, the buttons are too small to use, and the technical features are too complicated to understand. At present, the main advances in mobile technology have been aimed at improving multimedia-messaging services and reproducing videos and music. This new support system adds accessibility to mobile telephones, making them easier to use for the people who need them the most, people with reduced physical or mental capacities who cannot use a conventional mobile.
