1, the web accessibility and openness evaluation system 100 includes a server 10, a web site 20-1, 20-2, or 20-N (N is a natural number), and clients 30-1, 30-2 -2, or 30-M; M is a natural number). The web accessibility and openness evaluation system 100 is a system for diagnosing whether or not it meets the criteria of each evaluation item for evaluating the accessibility or openness of the website 20-1, 20-2, or 20-N.

The server 10, the website 20-1, 20-2, or 20-N, and the clients 30-1, 30-2, or 30-M can communicate with each other over the network. The number of Web sites 20-1, 20-2, or 20-N and the number of clients 30-1, 30-2, or 30-M may vary according to the embodiment.

The server 10 is a device for diagnosing whether the web site 20-1, 20-2, or 20-N meets the criterion of each evaluation item for evaluating web accessibility and openness. The server 10 includes a receiving module 11, an analyzing module 13, a transmitting module 15, and a database 17.

Evaluation items for assessing web accessibility include providing appropriate alternate text, providing subtitles, providing clear instructions, providing text instructions, contrasting text content content, prohibiting automatic playback, ensuring mouse / keyboard use, skipping focus, , Title provision, appropriate link text, basic language display, execution according to user needs, table organization, label provisioning, markup error prevention, or web application accessibility compliance.

Evaluation items for evaluating web openness may include blocking of search engine access, declaration of exclusion of search engine, blocking of access to specific pages, denial of information collection per page, blocking by application of new technology, or page-by-page URL blocking.

As used herein, a module may mean a functional or structural combination of hardware for performing the technical idea and software for driving the hardware according to the embodiment of the present invention. For example, Code " means a logical or functional unit of a hardware resource to be executed by the code and not necessarily a physically connected program code or a kind of hardware.

The receiving module 11 accesses the URL of the web site 20-1 to diagnose whether the web site 20-1 meets the criterion of the evaluation items for evaluating the web accessibility and the web openability of the web site 20-1, 1). The web site 20-1 includes a plurality of web pages 21, and each of the plurality of web pages 21 is implemented with source codes.

According to the embodiment, the receiving module 11 accesses the URL of the web site 20-1 to measure the traffic of the web site 20-1, and according to the measured traffic, the web site 20-1 ) Belonging to one of the plurality of traffic groups belongs to the traffic group.

For example, the plurality of traffic groups may be classified into a first traffic group having the largest traffic, a second traffic group having the middle traffic, and a second traffic group having a relatively large amount of traffic, Less can be classified as a third traffic group. The number of traffic groups classified according to an embodiment may vary. The plurality of traffic groups may be divided according to any traffic.

The analysis module 13 analyzes the source codes according to criteria of evaluation items for evaluating web accessibility or web openness. For example, the analysis module 13 analyzes the source codes according to a criterion of providing an appropriate alternative text to diagnose whether or not it provides an appropriate alternative text among evaluation items for evaluating web accessibility.

When the source codes meet the criteria of the evaluation items, the analysis module 13 stores the source codes according to the types of evaluation items in the database 17 as the recommended source code. For example, the source code related to the configuration of the table among the evaluation items is stored in the source code list SCL1, the source code related to the label provision among the evaluation items is stored in the source code list SCL2, The source code related to web application accessibility can be stored in the source code list (SCLR; R is a natural number).

The analyzing module 13 may include a recommendation source code SC1, SC2, .., or SCK, where K is a natural number) to meet the criteria of the evaluation items when the source codes do not meet the criteria of the evaluation items It is determined whether the source code list SCL1 is in the database 17 or not. The recommendation source code SC1, SC2, ..., or SCK is a code modified by another client (e.g., 30-2, or 30-M) of another website (e.g., 20-2, .

The recommended source code (SC1, SC2, .., or SCK) is stored in the database 17 in the form of a source code list (SCL1) according to the types of evaluation items for evaluating web accessibility and web openness. For example, the first recommendation source code SC1, the second recommendation source code SC2, and the third recommendation source code SC3 are stored in the source code list SCL1 including the source code related to the configuration of the table among the evaluation items I can belong. According to the embodiment, the fourth source code SC1-1 may belong to the source code list SCL2 including the source code related to label provision among the evaluation items, and the fifth source code SCR-1 may belong to the evaluation (SCLR) that includes source code related to web application accessibility among the items.

The analysis module 13 may extract at least one keyword from the source codes. Specifically, the analysis module 13 analyzes the web site 20-1, 20-2, or 20-N according to any one of the evaluation items for evaluating the web accessibility, At least one or more of the extracted words may be defined as the keyword by extracting words having a threshold value or more out of the words related to any one of the evaluation items. For example, the keyword may be "button", "floating", "floating", "table", "title", or "img".

The analysis module 13 extracts a plurality of source code lists SCL1, SCL2, .., and SCLR stored in the database 17 according to types of evaluation items for evaluating web accessibility and web openness, ) To extract a matching source code list (e.g., SCL1).

When the source code list SCL1 is in the database 17, the transmission module 15 transmits the source code list SCL1 to the client 30-1. Specifically, the transmission module 15 generates a source code list (SC1, SC2, .., SCK, K is a natural number) including a plurality of source codes SCL1) to the client 30-1. The order of a plurality of source codes (SC1, SC2, .., and SCK, K is a natural number) can be ordered from top to bottom in the order of the number of managers who selected the source code. For example, when the number of managers selecting the source code SC1 among the plurality of source codes SC1, SC2, .., and SCK is the largest, the source code SC1 is aligned on the top.

FIG. 2 is a view showing a web page, a source code of a web page, and a recommended source code to explain the operation of the server shown in FIG.

Referring to Figs. 1 and 2, reference numeral 51 denotes a part of a web page 21 constituting a web site 20-1. The "ABC" 51 has a link, and when the user clicks "ABC" 51, the user moves to another site (e.g., the previous page). There are appropriate alternate text offerings to evaluate web accessibility. "ABC" (51) is provided as a non-text image on the web page (21). The general user can recognize the text "ABC " 51 by seeing" ABC " 51, but the blind can not recognize the text "ABC" will be.

Reference numeral 53 denotes the source code of the current web page 21. The visually impaired person will not be able to recognize the text "ABC" by the source code 53 of the current web page 21 alone.

Since the analysis module 13 does not meet the criterion of the evaluation item that the source code 53 is provided with an appropriate alternative text, the analysis module 13 determines that the source code 53 including the recommended source code 55 or 57 (59) is in the database (17). The referral source code 55 or 57 is a code modified by another client (e.g., 30-2, or 30-M) of another website (e.g., 20-2, or 20-

Although the source code list 59 is shown in the form of a table in FIG. 2, the source code list 59 may be provided in various forms according to the embodiment.

3 is a view showing a part of the web page shown in Fig.

Referring to FIGS. 1 and 3, the analysis module 13 performs a preprocessing operation on the Web page 21 shown in FIG. 3 to determine whether or not the image has a substitute text. Alternate text of the image (e.g., an elephant) should be provided in the source code for the web page 21 shown in Fig. However, in reality, there is often a lack of alternative text for images in the source code. For example, there may be a file name for the image, or alternate text that is different from the image, instead of the replacement text for the image. The alternative text different from the above image means that the image shown in Fig. 3 represents the elephant, but provides the rabbit as a substitute text instead of the elephant.

When the text and image of the web page 21 are converted to TTS (Text To Speech), the image is heard as "alternative text, image" to the visually impaired. For example, when the alternate text for the image is an elephant, the image sounds "elephant image" to the blind.

The analysis module 13 searches the preprocessed web page 21 for the text image and searches for the word before the text image. For example, the analysis module 13 searches the preprocessed web page 21 for the text "elephant image" and searches for a word (e.g., an elephant) preceding the text image.

The analysis module 13 searches the preprocessed web page 21 for a text image and if the word preceding the text image is not Hangul (e.g., numeric or alphabetic) It is judged that the substitute text is not appropriately provided to the user.

The analysis module 13 analyzes how many words are repeated in the text representing the voice, and arranges the words in order of frequency. For example, the analysis module 13 finds words (e.g., elephants, zoos, noses, hands, and coins) found in the text of the web page 21 and identifies words (e.g., elephants, Hand, nose, and coin).

The analysis module 13 determines how many of the words preceding the text image, which are arranged in order of frequency. For example, the analysis module 13 determines that a word preceding the text image (for example, an elephant) is the first of the words arranged in frequency order.

The analysis module 13 judges that the word before the text belongs to a certain rank among the words arranged in the order of frequency, and that the word before the text is appropriate text for the image. For example, the analysis module 13 may determine that a word (e.g., an elephant) in front of the text image is in a certain order (e.g., an elephant) among the words sorted in the frequency order (e.g., in the order of an elephant, a zoo, , Third), the word before the text is judged to be appropriate text for the image.

The analysis module 13 may determine whether the image provides appropriate alternate text using such a method.

According to an embodiment, the analysis module 13 may classify evaluation items for evaluating web accessibility or web openability into a plurality of evaluation groups. The plurality of evaluation groups may be classified according to the frequency of occurrence of errors. For example, the evaluation items for evaluating the web accessibility are classified into a first evaluation group (for example, providing proper substitute text, providing subtitles, definite indications, etc.) including evaluation items in which errors occur most frequently, A second evaluation group (e.g., automatic playback prohibition, mouse / keyboard use guarantee, focus shift, repeat region skip, etc.) that includes evaluation items where errors occur in the middle (E.g., providing a title, providing appropriate text, displaying a basic language, and performing according to a user's request), and a third evaluation group (e.g., providing a table structure, providing a label, , And Web application accessibility compliance).

When the web site 20-1 belongs to the first traffic group having the highest traffic among the plurality of traffic groups, the analysis module 13 determines which one of the plurality of evaluation groups (for example, The first evaluation group) based on the criteria of the items belonging to the web site 20-1.

When the source codes meet the criterion of the evaluation items belonging to any one of the evaluation groups (for example, the first evaluation group), the analysis module 13 analyzes the evaluation results of the other evaluation groups 2 evaluation group, or the third evaluation group) based on the criteria of the evaluation items.

When the source codes do not match the criterion of the evaluation items belonging to any one of the evaluation groups (for example, the first evaluation group), the analysis module 13 determines that the other evaluation groups 2 < / RTI > evaluation group) based on the criteria of the evaluation items. According to another embodiment, when the source codes do not conform to the criteria of the evaluation items belonging to the other evaluation group (for example, the second evaluation group), the analysis module 13 determines that another evaluation of the plurality of evaluation groups And perform additional operations to analyze the source codes according to the criteria of the evaluation items belonging to the group (e.g., the third evaluation group).

Generally, the more people visit a website (20-1, 20-2, or 20-N), the more likely it will be to manage it. That is, the higher the traffic of the web sites 20-1, 20-2, or 20-N, the higher the probability of guaranteeing a greater degree of web accessibility and web openness. Therefore, when the traffic of the web site 20-1, 20-2, or 20-N is high, only some of the evaluation items for evaluating the web accessibility and web openness are selectively evaluated, .

According to the embodiment, the analysis module 13 can judge whether the source codes satisfy the criterion of evaluation items for evaluating web accessibility or web openness, and score them. For example, when 90% or more of the items corresponding to the web accessibility are satisfied, the analysis module 13 assigns the web accessibility score to 90 points for the web site 20-1 of the source codes . According to the embodiment, the score of the web accessibility or the score of the web openness may be variously given.

The transmission module 15 transmits the URL of the recommended website in place of the source code list SCL1 to the client 30-1 in accordance with the score of the web page 20-1 granted by the analysis module 13, Lt; / RTI > For example, when the score of the web page 20-1 given by the analysis module 130 is considerably low, the manager managing the web site 20-1 is not interested in web accessibility or web openness, It is difficult to stimulate the manager by providing only the SCL1. Therefore, when the score of the web site 20-1 is not more than a certain score (for example, less than 20 points), the transmission module 15 sends the URL of the recommended website in place of the source code list SCL1 to the client 30-1 ). By sending the URL of the recommended web site to the client 30-1, the administrator can give the manager the stimulus for improving the web accessibility or web openness.

The recommended web site refers to a site that is similar in area to a web site 20-1 to which a low score is assigned and has a relatively high score (for example, 90 points or more) in web accessibility or web openness. For example, when the website 20-1 is classified as a university site by the analysis module 130, the recommended website may also be a university site. Analysis module 130 analyzes the source codes of the web site 20-1 to be analyzed and analyzes what site the web site 20-1 is. For example, when the words "school", "university", "department", or "professor" are included in the source codes of the website 20-1, the website 20-1 is classified as a university site, The website 20-1 stores it in the database 17 in the university site category.

The database 17 can store the URLs of the websites according to the categories of web accessibility or web openness in each category.

A method for evaluating web accessibility and web openness of a web site 20-1, 20-2, or 20-N is to access the URL of the web site 20-1, 20-2, or 20-N, And an analysis step of analyzing the source codes according to criteria of evaluation items for evaluating web accessibility or web openness.

The evaluation of the web accessibility and web openness of the web site 20-1, 20-2, or 20-N is periodically performed, which can be defined as an evaluation cycle. The evaluation period may be adjusted by the analysis module 13 according to the score of the web page 20-1, 20-2, or 20-N assigned by the analysis module 13. [ For example, when the score of the web page 20-1, 20-2, or 20-N is equal to or greater than the first arbitrary score (for example, 90 points or more), the evaluation period becomes longer and the web page 20-1 , 20-2, or 20-N) is less than or equal to the second arbitrary score (for example, 20 or less), the evaluation period is shortened.

The client 30-1, 30-2, or 30-M is an administrator's device that manages the website 20-1, 20-2, or 20-N. For example, the first client 30-1 is a manager's apparatus that manages the first web site 20-1. The client 30-1, 30-2, or 30-M may be a PC, a notebook, a smart phone, or a tablet PC.

The client 30-1 can select any one of the codes in the source code list SCL1 and transmit a selection signal to the server 10 or directly modify the source code to transmit the modified source code to the server 10 have.

The receiving module 11 may receive a selection signal for selecting any one of the plurality of source codes from the client 30-1 or receive the modified source code directly from the client 30-1.

The receiving module 11 does not receive the selection signal for selecting any one of the plurality of recommended source codes SC1, SC2, .., and SCK from the client 30-1, When receiving the directly modified source code, the directly modified source code is stored in the database 17, and the directly modified source code is included in the source code list SCL1. That is, the new source code is stored in the source code list SCL1, and the source code list SCL1 is updated.

FIG. 4 shows a flowchart for explaining the operation of the web accessibility and openness evaluation system shown in FIG. 1. FIG.

Referring to FIGS. 1 and 4, the receiving module 11 accesses the URL of the website 20-1 and receives source codes of the website 20-1 (S10).

The analysis module 13 analyzes the source codes according to criteria of evaluation items for evaluating web accessibility or web openness (S20).

When the source codes meet the criteria of the evaluation items, the transmission module 15 can transmit the result to the client 30-1 in a report form.

When the source codes do not meet the criterion of the evaluation items, the analysis module 13 may include a recommendation source code (SC1, SC2, .. or SCK, K is a natural number) in order to meet the criteria of the evaluation items It is determined whether the source code list SCL1 is in the database 17 (S30).

When the source code list SCL1 is in the database 17, the transmission module 15 transmits the source code list SCL1 to the client 30-1 (S40).

While the present invention has been particularly shown and described with reference to exemplary embodiments thereof, it is to be understood that the invention is not limited to the disclosed embodiments, but, on the contrary, is intended to cover various modifications and equivalent arrangements included within the spirit and scope of the appended claims. Accordingly, the true scope of the present invention should be determined by the technical idea of the appended claims.
