Abstract

In current information society, there is a barrier called digital divide. Due to this barrier, the disabled have difficulties to communicate with the world. Recently, with advanced smart techniques, smart devices become necessity for the disabled. Currently improvements of smart application accessibility become a great concern for the disabled. The purpose of this paper is to present some guidelines for enhancing smart application accessibility for the disabled. The enhancement guidelines are developed based on the existing mobile accessibility guidelines and modified for better adaptability for the disabled. Our principles are as follows: minimizing blue light emission from smart devices, automatic focus on input window, action trace, font color change, emergency notification by motion, gesture recognition, control location, scrolling avoidance, auditory service for visual warning, and icon literation.

현대 정보 사회에서 정보격차라는 장벽이 존재한다. 이러한 장벽 때문에 장애인들은 세상과 소통하는 데 어려움이 있다. 최근 스마트 기술의 발달에 따라 스마트 기기는 장애인들에게 필수품이 되어가고 있다. 현재 장애인들의 스마트 애플리케이션 접근성 향상은 큰 관심을 받고 있다. 본 논문의 목적은 장애인의 스마트접근성 향상을 위한 가이드라인을 개발하는 것이다. 이 가이드라인은 기존의 모마일 접근성 가이드라인에 기초를 두고 개발하였다. 가이드라인은 다음과 같다. 즉, 스마트기기에서 청색 최소화, 입력창에 자동 포커스 제공, 행위 추적, 폰트 칼라 변경 가능, 모션에 의한 응급상황 공지, 제스처 인식, 컨트롤 위치, 스크롤링 금지, 시각경고메시지의 음성화 서비스, 아이콘에 대한 텍스트레벨 부착 등을 포함한다.
