Summary:

Accessibility services are typically designed for public facilities or personal devices and depend on the ability of persons with disabilities to learn and adapt. These individuals must familiarize themselves with the functions of these services to select the ones that best meet their needs. With the continuous advancement of technologies such as the Internet of Things (IoT) and artificial intelligence, more intelligent applications, services, and devices are becoming integrated into smart community life. Unlike existing accessibility services, the use of these emerging technologies can significantly reduce the reliance on the learning abilities of persons with disabilities, enhancing their quality of life and ensuring their equal integration into the digital society. The Recommendation focuses on how to realize IoT-based smart accessibility services in the context of smart communities from the functional architecture perspective, mainly concentrating on the service support and application support layer and device layers. The users of the IoT-enable smart accessibility service standardized in this standard include persons with disabilities, persons with age-related disabilities, and those with specific needs. It is beneficial for communities worldwide to initiate a new Recommendation - Functional architecture of IoT-enabled smart accessibility services in smart communities.
