Abstract

In these years, the living quality of elderly is drawing more and more attention. In order to meet their needs for Internet we have designed tailored easy access Internet browser for tablet computers. The system integrates wireless network connection with the new Internet browser, and runs on Android OS which is currently widely used on tablet computers. Our pilot run with elderly verifies that the design indeed offers easier and convenient browsing experience.
