The assistive devices for disabled people are being highlighted even in industrial aspects through the policy and support for disabled people, enactment of regulation for the improvement of accessibility of disabled, technological innovation and product development. Recently, internet access with the sense of touch and hearing and utilizing electronic publishing contents and e-mailing are being convenient through the product of ICT development such as screen reader for visually impaired people, braille display, screen enlarger, text converter and others. Even so, in rapidly changing digital media smart era, the accessibility of visually impaired people is still poor and assistive devices and alternative formats are in need of improvement. Therefore, in aspect of the research and development innovation, this study proposes the implementation directions for improvement of accessibility by analyzing the current situation and structure of alternative formats and assistive devices for visually impaired people. As a result, in the future, various types of digital information are expected to be converted into a customized and realistic forms and distributed through a dedicated disability products or smart devices.

Ministry of Science, ICT and Future Planning established the mobile application accessibility guideline on 2011 to help people with disabilities to use mobile applications, and has intimated it for governmental and public institutions to utilize. This paper presents an analysis of relationship between success criteria in the current mobile application accessibility guideline and the issues raised by users based on user evaluation performed on 5 mobile applications. Analysis results show that the current mobile application accessibility guideline doesn't apply accessibility requirements thoroughly because some mobile applications could not be accessed by users although they are fulfilling the guideline. To fully provide mobile application accessibility, success criteria such as keyboard accessibility, control size, label and time limit that are raised from the result of user evaluation need to be added to the current guideline. And the guideline need to be amended with modification or elimination of some success criteria.

In the knowledge and information society, there is an increasing importance of information, being unable to access this information becomes a huge disadvantage. Blind and visually impaired users who are using assistant equipment such as screen readers are the very class that is having trouble accessing the web content that public libraries provide. In this research 10% of each region's libraries were picked as a research sample. Most of the web content that the public libraries provided did not meet the Internet web content accessibility guidelines as a Korean standard. Also evaluation into web accessibility by the visually impaired was also low.
