在子步驟S52中,該處理單元15透過該揚聲單元14輸出一輸入提示語音,以提示使用者透過該點字輸入單元30繼續輸入該點字字元10的第二部分102。在本實施例中,該輸入提示語音可例如被實施為「請繼續輸入點字的後半部分」。並且,較佳地,該處理單元15可例如是在判斷出該點字輸入單元30未受到第二次操作的累積時間到達一預定時間長度(例如3秒)時,才輸出該輸入提示語音,而若該處理單元15判斷出該點字輸入單元30在該預定時間長度到達前即受到第二次操作,則不輸出該輸入提示語音。另外,在其他的實施例中,子步驟S52亦可被省略,而並不以本實施例為限。接著,進行子步驟S53。In sub-step S52 , the
在子步驟S53中,當該處理單元15判斷出該點字輸入單元30受到第二次操作時,該處理單元15根據該點字輸入單元30所受到的第二次操作產生該點字字元10的第二部分102。不同於子步驟S51的是,在子步驟S53中,該第一點字輸入鍵3A例如是對應該第四點位p4,該第二點字輸入鍵3B例如是對應該第五點位p5,而該第三點字輸入鍵3C則例如是對應該第六點位p6。因此,若使用者欲使該第四點位p4表示為「凸起」,並使該第五點位p5及第六點位p6表示為「不凸起」,則只需以一個手指頭對該第一點字輸入鍵3A進行單次點擊的觸控操作,即可令該處理單元15產生如圖4所示的該第二部分102。In sub-step S53, when the
在該處理單元15產生該第二部分102後,接著進行子步驟S54。After the
在子步驟S54中,該處理單元15將該第一部分101與該第二部分102組合,並判斷該第一部分101及該第二部分102的組合結果是否與該點字輸入規則所界定出之該等點字字元的其中一者相符,若判斷結果為是,則該處理單元15即判定該等點字輸入鍵3所受到的操作指示出該目標點字字元,而若判斷結果為否,則該處理單元15即判定該等點字輸入鍵3所受到的操作並未指示出任何目標點字字元,在此情況下,該處理單元15可例如透過該揚聲單元14輸出語音以提示使用者輸入錯誤。In sub-step S54, the
在接續於步驟S1之後的步驟S6中,該處理單元15控制該攝影單元13進行拍攝,以從該攝影單元13獲得一影像資料,且該影像資料在本實施例中例如為該攝影單元13進行即時錄影所產生的動態影片。並且,當該處理單元15根據該影像資料判斷出該攝影單元13的拍攝範圍內存在兩個或兩個以上的人體時,透過該揚聲單元14輸出一警示語音,藉此提醒使用者注意是否有他人在窺視其對該觸控單元12的操作。補充說明的是,該處理單元15可例如是利用一藉由機器學習訓練而成且預存於該儲存單元11中的人體辨識模型來對該影像資料進行辨識,但並不以此為限,並且,在其他的實施例中,該點字模式運作方法也可以不包含步驟S6,而並不以本實施例為限。In step S6 following step S1, the
以上即為本實施例之電子設備1所實施的點字模式運作方法。The above is the Braille mode operation method implemented by the electronic device 1 of the present embodiment.
如上所述,在本實施例中,一旦該處理單元15在步驟S3中判斷出該觸控單元12受到該輸入位置設定操作,便會在步驟S4中根據該輸入位置設定操作所指示出的該三個受操作位置2分別設定該三個點字輸入鍵3。值得注意的是,大多數的自動櫃員機、kiosk設備或是自助服務設備會被設計為落地式,而無法如可攜式電子裝置般地讓使用者握持在手上,因此,如何讓視障使用者易於維持其手部與該觸控單元12之間的相對位置,便成為本實施例之電子設備1在設計時的重要考量。而本實施例的其中一個功效在於:由於該等點字輸入鍵3的數量為三個,故該電子設備1能讓使用者僅以單手來達成點字的輸入,如此一來,相較於需以雙手同時操作的實施態樣,本實施例有助於讓視障的使用者更容易維持其手部與該觸控單元12之間的相對位置,而使得使用者在透過該觸控單元12輸入點字時(亦即前述的步驟S5)能夠更輕易地正確點擊在該等點字輸入鍵3的位置上,故有利於操作的成功率。As described above, in this embodiment, once the processing
另外,在本實施例的步驟S3中,使用者需以三個手指頭對該觸控單元12上的任意三個點「同時」進行雙擊,方能令該處理單元15判斷出該觸控單元12受到該輸入位置設定操作。因此,本實施例有利於讓使用者將三個手指擺成較為順手、舒適的手部姿勢來對該觸控單元12進行雙擊,從而完成對該觸控單元12的該輸入位置設定操作,如此一來,由於該三個點字輸入鍵3的位置會與該三個受操作位置2相符,故使用者在步驟S5中也能繼續維持其順手、舒適的手部姿勢來輸入點字,而有利於使用者操作的舒適及便利性。In addition, in step S3 of this embodiment, the user needs to double-click any three points on the
並且,在本實施例之步驟S3的另一方面,由於該處理單元15在判斷出該三個受操作位置2同時受到「雙擊」時,才會判定該觸控單元12受到該輸入位置設定操作,因此,本實施例有助於避免將使用者對該觸控單元12的誤觸判定為該輸入位置設定操作,而有利於使用者操作的順暢度。In addition, on the other hand of step S3 of this embodiment, the
補充說明的是,在另一實施例中,該處理單元15在步驟S3中也可以是在判斷出該觸控單元12上的六個受操作位置同時受到觸控時,才判定該觸控單元12受到該輸入位置設定操作,並且,在另該實施例的步驟S4中,該處理單元15是根據該六個受操作位置而設定該觸控單元12上的六個點字輸入鍵。如此一來,在另該實施例的步驟S5中,使用者便可同時使用兩隻手的各三個手指頭(亦即共六個手指頭)來輸入點字,因此,讓使用者能同時使用雙手來輸入點字的態樣亦可實施。It is added that, in another embodiment, the
綜上所述,藉由實施該點字模式運作方法,該處理單元15能根據該輸入位置設定操作所指示出的該等受操作位置2分別設定該觸控單元12上的該等點字輸入鍵3,並根據該點字輸入規則判斷該等點字輸入鍵3所受到的操作是否指示出目標點字字元,藉此,該電子設備1能供視障使用者以觸控的方式來輸入點字,從而克服了現有技術之不便,故確實能達成本發明之目的。To sum up, by implementing the braille mode operation method, the
