22、15ISO/IEC TR 13066-4:2015(E)IntroductionAssistive technology (AT) is specialized information technology (IT) hardware or software that is added to or incorporated within a system that increases accessibility for an individual. In other words, it is special purpose IT that interoperates with another

23、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) systems. Interoperability between AT and IT is best facilitated via the use of standardized, pu

24、blic interfaces for all IT components.This part of ISO/IEC 13066 describes the following.AT-SPIThe Assistive Technology Service Provider Interface (AT-SPI) API, which can be used as a toolkit agnostic framework to support software to software IT-AT interoperability on Linux and UNIX graphical deskto

25、p environments.ATKThe 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 written for any widget set, such as GTK, Motif, or Qt. ISO/IEC 2015 All rights reserved vPD ISO/IEC

26、 TR 13066-4:2015Information technology Interoperability with assistive technology (AT) Part 4: Linux/UNIX graphical environments accessibility API1 ScopeThis part of ISO/IEC 13066 provides an overview to the structure and terminology of the Linux/UNIX graphical environments accessibility API.It will

27、 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/IEC 13066-1:2011, Annex A; an overview of the main properties, including of user interface elements, of h

28、ow 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 related to using the API); information on extending the API (and where this is appropriate); an introduct

29、ion 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: IT system level developers who create custom controls and/or interface to them; AT developers involved in p

34、 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 it 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

35、 plural only, it will be preceded by the adjective “multiple” (i.e. multiple AT).2.6ATKThe Accessibility Toolkitlibrary which describes a set of interfaces that support the AT-SPI on the GUI application sideNote 1 to entry: The ATK interfaces are toolkit-independent - implementations could be writte

40、arts. By contrast, a general-purpose computer, such as a personal computer (PC), is designed to be flexible and to meet a wide range of end-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 s

41、ystems have some element of extensibility or programmability, e.g. hand-held computers share some elements with embedded systems such as the operating systems and microprocessors which power them, but they allow different applications to be loaded and peripherals to be connected. Moreover, even syst

42、ems which dont expose programmability as a primary feature generally need to support software updates. On a continuum from “general purpose” 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 fu

43、nctions,” and is thus appropriate to call “embedded.”2.12functiondefined objective or characteristic action of a system or component, e.g. a system has inventory control as its primary functionSOURCE: IEEE Std. 610.12-19902.13interfaceshared boundary between two functional units, defined by various
