在 2011 年智慧型手機的出貨量首次超越個人電腦,隨著智慧型手機的迅速 發展,在現今的生活中使用智慧型手機的機率更是越來越高,為了降低盲人接觸 智慧型手機時所出現的門檻,本論文致力於研發一個可以幫助盲人,提供一個方 便的操作環境和介面。
本論文以盲人使用智慧型手機的需求為中心,在 Android 平台中實作一個結 合觸摸、手勢、聲音三種感應方式的應用程式啟動器,應用這三種主要的元素, 建構出一個可以提升盲人操控效率之應用程式啟動介面。而本研究也提出了三個 創新之處其中包含了,(1) Quick Jump:跳脫傳統啟動方式和使用者介面進行功 能上的啟動、(2) Voice Navigation:在 Quick Jump 介面下,為盲人增加一層應用 程式說明導覽,讓盲人不會再誤觸其他無關應用程式,也能對應用程式多一層了 解、(3) Tip & Pad:在手指觸控下,多了兩種可以辨別的單指手指控制。

This study focuses on developing a convenient and efficient user interface for the blind users with Android smartphones. We first present and discuss the basic requirements for a blind user having an Android smart phone. Then, to fulfill these requirements, we design and implement a new application launcher that combines three new interactive methods: (1) Quick Jump: an innovative user interface with application activation that is totally different from existing graphical user interfaces, (2) Voice Navigation: an application navigation system with voice under the interface of Quick Jump not only can prevent the application from mis-activating but also bring a user more information of the applications, (3) Tip & Pad: using the tip or pad of an finger to identify and control access modes.
