| Popis: | 96 Most developed countries in the world have headed into an aging society. Most aging population belongs to the Post- World War II baby boomer’s generation (born between 1946 and 1964), and is now age between 44 to 62 (the middle aged). And others are more than 62 years old. The elderly group is getting bigger and bigger. No wonder, the health problem would accompany with the growing numbers such as the eyesight problems, the hearing problems, and the decreasing of the action ability. All of these would change what we habituate when we were young. Modern technology changes with each passing day. A lot of brand-new knowledge are obtained through the Internet. To design a personalized elder people Web site is needed. Nowadays, a few Web sites were designed for middle and older age population. Most Web sites were aimed at the teenagers and the content is not suitable for the elders. It makes the middle and older aged people are far from accommodated with surfing the Internet. Thus, designing a personalized elderly Web sites will help the future development. In this paper, we proposed a transforming system to convert the Web sites suitable for the elderly without redesigning a new elderly Web site. And we analyzed the suitable factors for elderly people to explore the Web sites such as the size of the text, font color, background and contrast. We filtered out the unnecessary animations and commercial advertisements, arranged the results and redefined the rules and transferred into a Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) only belongs to the elders. We also rewrite the rules of the content filter and then we inserted the rules into the proxy server. Through this way, we don’t need to redesign the Web sites but a better interface can be provided for elderly people when they surfing the Internet. In order to exam whether our converting Web suitable or not for the middle aged, we find 34 people with middle and older ages to be our responders. From the result of the return questionnaires, we can find that most people feel satisfied because our system helps middle age people easier to read. Also, we test the www.alexa.com (Top 10 Web connections speed in the Top Chinese traditional Site). We found that exploring the transformed web speeds up because some codes are filtered out and the responding time is shorter. Testing the use and the no use proxy server of environment, the results show the conversion method can reduce some the response time of reading Web page. |
