Patent number: 11829573Abstract: A computer-implemented method for graphical user interface element accessibility is disclosed. The computer-implemented method includes generating a graphical user interface element rendered on a web page as a virtual button displayed on a display screen of a device. The virtual button is not rendered on the webpage and includes an invocable function mapped to the graphical user interface element. The computer-implemented method further includes moving the virtual button along a periphery of the display screen of the device. A rate at which the virtual button moves along the periphery of the display screen of the device is dynamically modified based on a detected identity of a user of the device.Type: GrantFiled: April 6, 2022Date of Patent: November 28, 2023Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Asako Ono, Tohru Hasegawa, Hiroaki Uetsuki, Shunsuke Ishikawa, Kenta Watanabe, Yasuyuki Tominaga, Issei Yoshida
