22、nterface (API) Technical Reportiv ISO/IEC 2015 All rights reserved PD ISO/IEC TR 13066-4:2015 ISO/IEC TR 13066-4:2015(E) Introduction Assistive technology (AT) is specialized information technology (IT) hardware or software that is added to or incorporated within a system that increases accessibilit

23、y for an individual. In other words, it is special purpose IT that interoperates with another IT product enabling a person with a disability to use the IT product. Interoperability involves the ability to add or replace Assistive Technology (AT) to existing components of Information Technology (IT)

24、systems. Interoperability between AT and IT is best facilitated via the use of standardized, public interfaces for all IT components. This part of ISO/IEC 13066 describes the following. AT-SPI The Assistive Technology Service Provider Interface (AT-SPI) API, which can be used as a toolkit agnostic f

25、ramework to support software to software IT-AT interoperability on Linux and UNIX graphical desktop environments. ATK The Accessibility Toolkit (ATK) library provides a set of interfaces in support of AT-SPI on the GUI application side. The interfaces are toolkit-independent implementations could be

26、 written for any widget set, such as GTK, Motif, or Qt. ISO/IEC 2015 All rights reserved v PD ISO/IEC TR 13066-4:2015 Information technology Interoperability with assistive technology (AT) Part 4: Linux/UNIX graphical environments accessibility API 1 Scope This part of ISO/IEC 13066 provides an over

27、view to the structure and terminology of the Linux/UNIX graphical environments accessibility API. It will provide the following: a description of the overall architecture and terminology of the API; further introductory explanations regarding the content and use of the API beyond those found in ISO/

28、IEC 13066-1:2011, Annex A; an overview of the main properties, including of user interface elements, of how to get and set focus, and of communication mechanisms in the API; a discussion of design considerations for the API (e.g. pointers to external sources of information on accessibility guidance

29、related to using the API); information on extending the API (and where this is appropriate); an introduction to the programming interface of the API (including pointers to external sources of information). It will provide this information as an introduction to the Java API to assist the following: I

34、creen readers, screen magnification software, and eye tracking devices are assistive technologies. SOURCE: ISO 9241-171:2008, 3.5 Note 1 to entry: Within this part of ISO/IEC 13066, where Assistive Technology (AT) is used, it is to be considered as both singular and plural, without distinction. If i

35、t is to be used in the singular only, it will be preceded by the article “an” (i.e. an Assistive Technology). If it is to be used in the plural only, it will be preceded by the adjective “multiple” (i.e. multiple AT). 2.6 ATK The Accessibility Toolkit library which describes a set of interfaces that

36、 support the AT-SPI on the GUI application side Note 1 to entry: The ATK interfaces are toolkit-independent - implementations could be written for any widget set, such as GTK, Motif or Qt. 2.7 AtkObject base object class for the Accessibility Toolkit API Note 1 to entry: This is the ATK analog of MS

37、AAs and IAccessible2s “accessible object”. The AtkObject structure is not accessed directly. 2.8 AT-SPI The Assistive Technology Service Provider Interface API that can be used as a toolkit agnostic framework to support software to software IT-AT interoperability on Linux and UNIX graphical desktop

40、dicated functions often with real-time computing constraints Note 1 to entry: It is embedded as part of a complete device often including hardware and mechanical parts. By contrast, a general-purpose computer, such as a personal computer (PC), is designed to be flexible and to meet a wide range of e

41、nd-user needs. Embedded systems control many devices in common use today. Note 2 to entry: In general, “embedded system” is not a strictly definable term, as most systems have some element of extensibility or programmability, e.g. hand-held computers share some elements with embedded systems such as

42、 the operating systems and microprocessors which power them, but they allow different applications to be loaded and peripherals to be connected. Moreover, even systems which dont expose programmability as a primary feature generally need to support software updates. On a continuum from “general purp

43、ose” to “embedded,” large application systems will have subcomponents at most points even if the system as a whole is “designed to perform one or a few dedicated functions,” and is thus appropriate to call “embedded.” 2.12 function defined objective or characteristic action of a system or component,
