Abstract -
In this paper, loopholes of the existing protocols for navigating smart phone applications screen
icons and requirements for the design and development of enhanced ones are identified. Enhanced protocols for
non-visual smart phone applications screen icons navigation were developed. In the ongoing work, we are
developing a Smartphone application using android Operating system that imbeds the developed protocols.
After developing the application, we propose to deploy the developed smartphone application and navigate a
given smartphones application screen icons and test the efficiency of the developed protocols.
