Abstract
The use of mobile technologies for self services, and the inclusion of elderly and cognitively disabled users in the self-service society can be improved by the application of appropriate ac cessi bility guide lines for mobile de vices. We show how to operationalize the principles of uni versal design, and how to realize these principles on mobile de vices. Ten categories of ac cessi bility guide lines are presented, and accessible user interfaces for an electronic service on a mo bile phone are demonstrated.
