초록

스마트폰은 최근 우리의 삶에서 매우 중요한 장비가 되었으며, 발달장애, 후천성 신경계 장애, 자폐증 등의 장애인을 위한 의사소통 치료에서도 중요한 역할을 하고 있다. 기술적 발달로 인하여 보완 대체 의사소통(AAC) 기술 또한 다양한 요구사항을 접하게 되었는데 사용자 설정, 변경 가능한 레이아웃, 그리고 새로운 핵심단어의 추가를 할 수 있는 기능이 필요하게 되었다. 본 논문의 AAC 시스템은 그림을 이용한 의사소통 보드 기능에 컴퓨팅 및 모바일 디바이스의 장점을 활용하여, 다양한 문장을 사용자들에게 보여주고 읽어주는 기능과 AAC 사용자의 장애등급에 따른 사용자설정이 가능한 기능과 함께 가변적인 레이아웃을 설정할 수 있도록 설계하고 구현하였다.

Smartphone have become the very important devices in our daily life and provide various roles on impairment and communications of developmental disabilities, acquired neurogenic disorders and autisms. Due to the growth of the technology, an Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC) also meets needs and wants, including user customization, configurable layouts and registration of new core vocabulary for individual users. This paper describes the research conducted to design the smartphone-based AAC system. This AAC comprises of a form of communication types such as picture communication boards and sophisticated computer and mobile based devices that can speak in the phrases and sentences for their users. We deployed our AAC system on various sports situations using smartphone systems and also provided user customization method for AAC user's disability levels.
