In line with the IEC (International Electrotechnical Commission) meeting, the industry organization Japan Business Machine and Information System Industries Association (JBMIA) will hold a special event, "Card with the Support Request," which makes equipment easier to use, at the Tokyo International Forum from Nov. 4 to 14.

Held in the reception area in the business center, this is a demonstration to show solutions to establishing a suitable man-machine interface, in which visitors can experience using a "support request card" which makes machines and equipment easier to use.

As for modern electronic equipment, operations are getting more complicated as functionally improves. While personal computers and smartphones have special accessibility features. However, when aged people and people with disabilities try to choose a support function from some equipment's accessibility features, it is not always a simple task.
