The user may perform an input for selecting a selection area from which selection information may be selected. For example, the user may perform an input of touching or selecting the selection area twice in succession. When an event is provided by an input for selecting a selection area, the user may perform an input for selecting a selection area, which may be a user performing a first input for selection information.

For example, when a visually impaired user is a user, when the user performs a drag input, the name of the selected area being dragged may be output as a sound. When a drag input is performed on a selection area where the user can select selection information, sounds indicating selection information such as “voice input”, “ARS input”, and “voice input application execution” may be output. there is. In this case, the first input for the user's selection information may be a double-click or two consecutive selection inputs for a selection area where the selection information can be selected, and when the first input is obtained, no sound is output and the selection information event is provided. When a visually impaired user is a user, selection input for some area of the page provided to the electronic device is output as sound to confirm the name of the partial area, and double-click or two consecutive selection inputs for the same area are output as sound. It may be a basic setting of the electronic device to provide a specified operation that is executed in a partial area without being output. That is, in the case of a user with a visual impairment, the name of the area being dragged is checked through sound, and the specified operation without outputting sound when double-clicking the selected area where the desired operation is designated or when inputting two consecutive selections is performed. is provided. The two consecutive selection inputs may mean, for example, a case in which an input for selecting the released area again within several seconds (eg, 0.5 seconds) is obtained after releasing the drag input.

For another example, in the case of a non-blind user, the same operation may be performed as the input of the visually impaired person, and when the electronic device operates with default settings, a separate sound may not be output according to the user's selection input. The first input of the selection information by the user other than the visually impaired may be a selection input of one-click on a selection area where the selection information can be selected.

When obtaining the user's first input for selection information, the electronic device may provide an event for receiving the user's voice input. An event for receiving a voice input includes a voice call, execution of an application related to a security information input page, and the like. For example, when a user receives a voice call, and a security information input request guided in the voice call, the user may input security information by voice. As another example, an application running on an electronic device is authorized to control a sound input device of the electronic device, and in response to a security information input request guided by a service, the user selects a sound input device controlled through the application. You can enter security information by voice.

S230 includes obtaining security information based on a voice input acquired through an event. The voice input may be a user's voice input. Also, a method of obtaining security information may include a method through a virtual keypad of a security information input page or a separate virtual keypad.

3A may be an example of an area and information displayed on the security information input page, and FIG. 3B may be an example of a virtual keypad among areas displayed on the security information input page.

According to various embodiments, a first area 310 and a second area 320 are displayed on the security information input page 300, a virtual keypad is provided on the first area 310, and a second area 320 Selection information 321, security information input part 322, and security information setting message 323 may be provided.

Referring to FIG. 3A , the first area 310 is the area at the bottom of the security information input page 300, and the second area 320 is the area at the top of the security information input page 300. only and not limited.

The selection information 321 may be displayed on a partial area of the second area 320 and may be implemented as a selection area for inputting security information in a method different from that of the virtual keypad of the first area 310 . When the user performs an input (eg, a first input) on a selection area where the selection information 321 can be selected, the security information input method set as the selection information 321 can operate. The security information input method set as the selection information 321 may be a voice input method. Operation of the set security information input method may be when an event is provided.

The security information input part 322 may be a part where security information is input according to the user's security information input. For example, when the user's voice input is obtained one syllable at a time, security information is input to the security information input part 322 one letter at a time according to the acquired voice input. The security information setting message 323 may display a guide message for setting security information to the user. The security information setting message 323 includes all kinds of guidance messages, may include a message for confirming input security information by inputting it one more time, and may include a message for completing security information setting. Setting or resetting the security information includes a process in which the user inputs the security information two or more times. Including the process of verifying whether the security information entered for the first time by the user is entered as intended, and in case of discrepancies between the security information entered for the first time and the security information entered next time, additionally checking to confirm the correspondence (e.g. n security information input). Through such a confirmation process, when setting or resetting security information is completed, a message indicating completion of setting security information may be displayed. Also, when a user makes a payment through security information set within the service, the security information setting message 323 may include a security information input request message and a payment completion message.

According to various embodiments, the virtual keypad provided in the first region 310 includes a plurality of keys. Also, the virtual keypad includes a first type icon 311 and a second type icon 312. The first type of icon 311 includes image information corresponding to the key of the virtual keypad, but the allocation of text information corresponding to the key is omitted. The second type of icon 312 includes image information related to security information input, and text information corresponding to security information input is assigned to a key.

Referring to FIG. 3B , the first type of icon 311 includes image information corresponding to numbers 0 to 9 and a delete key, but text information corresponding to individual keys is omitted. For example, when the user inputs security information in the first type icon 311, even if the user selects the number 5, the number 5 is not entered as the security information, and the name of the image information indicating the entire virtual keypad. This can be output as sound to the user. This may originate from a method of providing sound guidance to the visually impaired in an electronic device or service. In the case of a user with a visual impairment, when the user's drag input is obtained, the name of the image information of the area being selected by dragging is guided by sound, and when a double-click or two consecutive selection inputs on the same area are obtained after the drag input, An input set in the area where the input was performed is made. This may be that a user's input is obtained from a virtual keypad corresponding to the second type icon 312 .

Referring to FIG. 3B , the second type of icon 312 includes image information corresponding to numbers 0 to 9 and a delete key, along with text information for each key. This may be that coordinates for individual keys are set when security information is input, like a general virtual keypad. For example, when a visually impaired user is a user, the virtual keypad may operate as the first type icon 311 while the user's drag input is obtained, and the position of the number 5 on the virtual keypad may be set to 'number' by the drag input. As confirmed by the output of the sound 5', if a double-click or two consecutive selection inputs are obtained for the area containing the number 5 after releasing the drag input, the virtual keypad can operate as the second type icon 312. there is. In addition, in the electronic device or service, the second type icon 312 may be a setting that is basically applied to the virtual keypad for users other than the visually impaired. In the virtual keypad of the security information input page as shown in FIGS. 3A and 3B, an input for selecting an area of an individual key to perform a designated operation for an individual key, like the first input for the selection information of the second area, described as an input. For example, when a visually impaired user is a user, the user's drag input to the virtual keypad of the first area operates as the first type icon 311 in FIG. The user's double-click or two consecutive selection inputs on the virtual keypad of the first area correspond to the second input and operate as the second type icon 312 in FIG. 3B, and the key of the selected area (eg: Security information for number 5) is obtained. That is, when a visually impaired user is a user, the virtual keypad changes from the first-type icon 311 to the second-type icon 312 or the second-type icon 312 according to whether the user's input type is a drag input or a first input. An operation may be switched from the icon 312 to the first type icon 311 .

410 includes obtaining input on the virtual keypad. The virtual keypad in 410 may operate with a second type icon (eg, the second type icon 312 in FIG. 3 ). For example, when a visually impaired user is a user, a double click or two consecutive selection inputs after a drag input may cause the virtual keypad to operate as a second type icon. For another example, in the case of a user other than the visually impaired, it may be a case of operating with a second type icon, which is a virtual keypad applied as a default setting.

420 includes acquiring security information according to an input obtained from the virtual keypad. 430 includes a step of checking whether the acquired security information matches. For example, in a process of setting or resetting security information, security information may be acquired through voice input. After acquiring the first voice input, step 430 may be performed to check whether security information intended by the user is correctly input. For example, if a visually impaired user acquires security information by voice on a security information input page, the acquired security information (eg, a 6-digit number) is output to the user as a sound to confirm that it matches the intended security information. You can check. In this case, the user may provide a response as to whether the input security information matches with a voice input of “yes” or “no”. As another example, if a time-impaired user is a user, when security information is obtained by inputting through a virtual keypad on the security information input page, a guidance sound is output to prompt the user to input the obtained security information again, or "Yes" or You can ask for a "no" answer. When the first input security information and the second input security information match or when the matching is confirmed by the user's response, the security information input is terminated and a message indicating completion of the security information setting is provided.

510 of FIG. 5 receives a user's input for at least a part of a first area (eg, first area 310 of FIG. 3A) of a security information input page (eg, security information input page 300 of FIG. 3A). is an example of As shown in 510 of FIG. 5 , the user's input to the second type icon (eg, the second type icon 312 of FIG. 3B ) of the virtual keypad of the first area may be the second input. For example, when a visually impaired user is a user, when a double-click or two consecutive selection inputs are obtained after the user's drag input, the virtual keypad may operate as a second type icon. For another example, in an electronic device or service, the second type icon may be basically applied to a user other than the visually impaired, and the virtual keypad may operate.

520 of FIG. 5 is an example in which the security information input portion of the second area (eg, the second area 320 of FIG. 3A ) is filled in one letter at a time according to the acquisition of an input through the virtual keypad of the security information input page. 520 of FIG. 5 is an example of a state in which three digits out of six digits of security information are filled with an input (eg, a second input) to the virtual keypad of the user. When all 6 digits of the security information are filled, a process of inputting the acquired security information again to check whether it matches or outputting the obtained security information as a sound to confirm whether it matches the intended security information may be performed. 510 and 520 of FIG. 5 may be examples of 410 and 420 of FIG. 4 .

530 of FIG. 5 is an example of a process of inputting security information one more time to check whether the acquired security information matches. 530 of FIG. 5 may be an example of 430 of FIG. 4 .

540 of FIG. 5 is an example of providing a message indicating that security information input is finished and security information setting is complete. For example, when registering a payment method used within a service, a page for setting a password for a payment method may be a security information input page in 540 of FIG. can be For another example, when payment is made using a payment method registered within the service, 540 in FIG. 5 may be a payment completion message provided in accordance with security information registered.

The selection information includes, for example, a method through voice input among methods of inputting security information. The user's first input may be different from the drag input. If the event is provided by an input for selecting a selection area from which selection information can be selected, it may be that the user has performed an input for selecting a selection area from which selection information can be selected, which is the first step for the selection information. It may be that the input has been performed. For example, when a visually impaired user is a user, the selection information may be double-clicked on an area where the selection information is displayed or two consecutive selection inputs are performed. For another example, in the case of a user other than the visually impaired, the input for the selection information may be an input of clicking an area where the selection information is displayed.

Step 620 includes providing a voice call, which is one of events for receiving a user's voice input according to an input of selection information. A voice call may be an event provided by a service providing server using ARS. For example, the user may check whether a voice call is received in a part of the security information input page. For another example, the user can check whether a voice call has been received by switching from a security information input page to a voice call reception page. When the user receives a voice call at 620, the process proceeds to 630.

630 includes providing a voice call page. When a user receives a voice call, the electronic device provides a voice call page. For example, the user checks whether a voice call has been received in a part of the security information input page, and if the voice call is received, the security information input page is converted to the voice call page. For another example, when a user switches from a security information input page to a voice call reception page to check whether a voice call has been received and receives a voice call, the voice call page is provided as is. The user can input security information using voice input or a separate virtual keypad according to a message guided on the voice call page.

Step 640 includes a step of acquiring security information entered using a user's voice input or a separate virtual keypad. The separate virtual keypad is different from the virtual keypad of the first area of the security information input page (eg, the first area 310 of FIG. 3B), and may be provided in a voice call page or in a voice input application. The user's input to the separate virtual keypad may be a third input, and the operation of the separate virtual keypad is displayed using a second type icon (eg, second type icon 312 in FIG. 3B) on the virtual keypad of the security information input page. ) may be the same as the operation of the virtual keypad. The third input to the separate virtual keypad may be the same as the input to the virtual keypad operating as a second type icon. The first input, the second input, and the third input of the present specification may be distinguished according to a region in which a user's input is performed. The user can set security information through voice input on the voice call page or by using a separate virtual keypad, and the security information input method within the voice call page provided through ARS is not limited thereto.

910 of FIG. 9 selects an area from which a user can select selection information (eg, selection information 321 of FIG. 3A ) on a security information input page (eg, security information input page 300 of FIG. 3A ). This is an example of performing input (eg, first input). This is replaced with the description of 710 of FIG. 7 .

920 of FIG. 9 is an example of an event provided according to a user's input of selection information. The event 920 of FIG. 9 may be the execution of an application. The user can check whether an application is being executed in a part of the security information input page. The application generally described in FIGS. 8 and 9 is authorized to control the sound input device of an electronic device (eg, the electronic device 100 of FIG. 1 ) when a service-related application (eg, a service application) is executed. may be granted or a separate voice input application. For example, granting permission to control the sound input device of an electronic device means granting permission to control the sound input device in the setting tab of the electronic device after installing an application related to the service. In the specification, it is referred to as a voice input application for convenience. In this case, security information can be obtained by voice input through the voice input device of the electronic device by executing an application related to the service, and "Voice input is executed" instead of "Voice input application is executed" at 920 of FIG. 9 . It can be replaced with a guide message of event provision such as For another example, the separate voice input application may be a voice input application that can be downloaded from an application market provided according to the software environment of the electronic device. The voice input application may have its own algorithm capable of voice input, and this may correspond to a third party application that is executed together with an application other than an application related to a service. 910 and 920 of FIG. 9 may be examples of 810 and 820 of FIG. 8 .

930 and 940 of FIG. 9 may be examples in which security information is obtained by obtaining an input through a separate virtual keypad (eg, a third input) or a voice input through an executed application. For example, 930 of FIG. 9 may be an example of acquiring security information by inputting it through voice in an application. As another example, 940 of FIG. 9 may be an example in which the user inputs security information through a separate virtual keypad different from the virtual keypad of the security information input page in the application and obtains the input security information. 930 or 940 of FIG. 9 may be an example of 830 of FIG. 8 .

950 of FIG. 9 may be an example of a message for completing security information setting or payment completion obtained through a user's input through a separate virtual keypad or voice input. 950 in FIG. 9 is provided on the security information input page. In case of setting or resetting the security information of the payment method used within the service, a message indicating the completion of the security information setting, and a payment process in the service through a pre-registered payment method In this case, it may be a payment completion message.

FIG. 10 checks whether there is a sound output device connected to an electronic device (eg, the electronic device 100 of FIG. 1 ), and if there is no sound output device connected, the default sound output device of the electronic device is identified to sound according to the user's input. This is the flow of the output process.

1010 includes checking whether a sound output device connected to the electronic device is detected. Electronic devices include terminals such as smart phones, tablets, PCs, and the like, and sound output devices connected to the electronic devices may be devices that directly output sound to the ears of the electronic device owners through earphones, headsets, and the like. The connection of the sound output device may be wireless pairing or wired connection. Step 1020 includes outputting sound through the detected sound output device when a sound output device connected to the electronic device is detected.

Step 1030 includes checking the type of input to the electronic device or to a predetermined area in an application related to a service executed in the electronic device when the sound output device connected to the electronic device is not detected. For example, when a visually impaired user is a user, operation 1030 of checking whether the user's input is a drag input may be performed. For another example, in the case of a user other than the visually impaired, step 1030 may not be performed because it is not necessary to check the name of the region being selected by the user through a drag input. For non-blind users, 1040 is set to be performed through the electronic device's default sound output device (eg, general speaker), and 1050 is performed through the electronic device's earpiece sound output device (eg, call sign sound output device). It can be. In particular, in 1040, content related to guidance for inputting security information may be output, and in 1050, content related to input of security information may be output. In the following description, 1040 and 1050 are based on a case where a visually handicapped person is a user.

Step 1040 includes a step of outputting sound at a first volume through a first sound output device according to a user's drag input. The first sound output device may be a basic sound output device (eg, a general speaker) of an electronic device, or may refer to a sound output device not used during a voice call. The first volume may be a volume that is generally comfortable for the user to listen to, and may be a volume that the user hears most often based on data accumulated according to the user's use of the electronic device. Step 1040 may output the name of the region being selected by the user to the first volume through the first sound output device according to the user's drag input.

Step 1050 includes a step of outputting sound to a second volume through a second sound output device according to an input other than a drag input (eg, a first input). The second sound output device may refer to a sound output device (eg, a sign language sound output device) of a handset of an electronic device. The second volume may be a volume that is comfortable for the user to hear during a call, and may be a volume that is most often heard during a call based on data accumulated according to use during a call through the user's electronic device. Since contents related to the input of security information are output to the second volume through the second sound output device, the second volume may be smaller than the first volume for security reasons. Step 1050 may output request information for requesting voice input from the user to a second volume through the second sound output device.
