[0053] The method and device for assisting visually impaired people to participate in table games provided by the embodiments of the application can be applied to electronic devices. The electronic device of the application can be a smart phone, a tablet computer, or other electronic devices with a touch display screen. A table game application is installed in the electronic device for users to use the table game application for entertainment. The table game includes chess, cards, and puzzle games. The table game application of the application mainly includes card games.

[0054] In addition, the electronic device is also installed with a screen reader application. After the visually impaired user starts the screen reader application in the electronic device, the screen reader is used to browse and operate the information displayed on the display screen of the electronic device.

[0055] As shown in Figure 1 The method for assisting visually impaired people to participate in table games of the application is applied to an electronic device. Both visually impaired users and ordinary users can be players in the method. The table game can be participated in by multiple players, and each player can operate a smart phone. Therefore, multiple smart phones can be included. Each smart phone is installed with a table game application. Each player logs in his / her account to participate in the game, thereby realizing the participation of visually impaired users and the participation of visually impaired users and ordinary users. Not only can the entertainment life of visually impaired people be enriched, but also the visually impaired users can better integrate into the society and gain more happiness and friendship.

[0056] Please refer to Figure 2 , Figure 2 The method can be executed by a controller in an electronic device 100. The method includes steps S201-S204.

[0057] S201: Setting a corresponding accessibility focus for an interface element of a table game application, wherein the interface element includes a current game state and operation instructions.

[0058] In the table game application, the displayed interface elements usually include menus, cards, instruction areas, function areas, and the like. The respective interface elements set corresponding accessibility focus, which is convenient for the visually impaired users to obtain relevant information by using accessibility gestures to touch after the screen reader is turned on.

[0059] The interface elements include the current game state and operation instructions, which are convenient for the visually impaired users and ordinary users to obtain the game state in which they are in the table game application, and the operation instructions are convenient for the users to view, so as to obtain the rules and the like of each game link.

[0060] S202: receiving a first gesture operation instruction of a user on the accessibility focus, and performing voice broadcast on the description information of the accessibility focus.

[0061] In some embodiments, after the receiving of the first gesture operation instruction of the user on the accessibility focus, the method further includes:

[0062] When it is detected that the sound playing mode of the electronic device is the speaker mode, first prompt voice information is played based on the speaker mode, to prompt the user to insert an earphone into the electronic device or convert the electronic device into a receiver mode according to the environment.

[0063] The voice broadcast includes:

[0064] When it is detected that the sound playing mode of the electronic device is the receiver mode or the earphone insertion mode, the voice broadcast is performed based on the receiver mode or the earphone insertion mode.

[0065] Specifically, the first gesture operation can be a single-finger touch or a single-finger swipe of the user, and the first gesture operation instruction is an instruction triggered by the single-finger touch or the single-finger swipe of the user. When the user performs the first gesture operation on the accessibility focus, the electronic device performs voice broadcast on the description information of the accessibility focus by means of the screen reader, so as to facilitate the visually impaired user to browse the description information of the accessibility focus.

[0066] And, due to the characteristics of card-based table games, if it is an online and offline combination, such as multiple players meeting in a live scene and using their own smart phones to participate in the game, part of the information should only be known to the current player and not obtained by other players. In the offline game scene, using a loudspeaker to broadcast the game information will cause the game information to be leaked. Therefore, when it is detected that the sound playing mode of the electronic device is a loudspeaker mode, first prompt voice information is played based on the loudspeaker mode. The first prompt voice information is used to prompt the user to insert an earphone or convert to a handset mode according to the environment to prevent the game information from being leaked. Therefore, the voice broadcast of the present application is based on the handset mode or the earphone insertion mode for voice broadcast when it is detected that the sound playing mode of the electronic device is the handset mode or the earphone insertion mode, thereby avoiding information leakage caused by direct loudspeaker playing.

[0067] Of course, it can also be a pure online way, such as multiple players logging in to a table game application and not meeting each other. Even if the visually impaired user uses the loudspeaker mode to play the voice during the game process, there is no risk of game information leakage. Therefore, the form of voice broadcast can not be limited.

[0068] S203: If the interface element includes an interactive element, and if a second gesture operation instruction of a user on the accessibility focus corresponding to the interactive element is received within a preset time length, the second gesture operation instruction is fed back, a feedback result is obtained, and the game process is promoted according to different feedback results, the interface is switched or the current interface element is changed.

[0069] Specifically, the interactive element refers to an element that the current user player can interact with other players, such as the voting function commonly used in card-based games. When voting for the number of cards, the selectable card number displayed on the interface element is the interactive element. In the game link of the table game, in order to promote the game process, the time length of each game link is usually set, such as the voting link, and the preset time length for player operation is not less than 20 seconds. Taking the preset time length of 20 seconds as an example, if a second gesture operation instruction of a user on the accessibility focus corresponding to the interactive element (the voting state of the card number) is received within the preset time length of 20 seconds, the second gesture operation can be a single-finger double-click gesture. When the visually impaired user touches the number of cards that he wants to vote for with a single finger, the number of cards that the user touches with a single finger is played based on the handset mode or the earphone mode voice. When the user performs a single-finger double-click gesture operation on the number of cards, the second gesture operation instruction (single-finger double-click gesture operation) is fed back, a feedback result is obtained, the feedback result can be that the number of cards is voted and the game process after the voting is successful is fed back, thereby promoting the game process according to the feedback result, such as completing the voting and entering the next interface, or changing the current interface element, for example, the interface element is switched from unselected to selected.

[0070] It can be understood that according to the game link, there are different interactive elements, and the interface element corresponding to the voting link is only one of the interactive elements, and because of the interactive elements of different game links, different feedback results will be generated when the user performs the accessibility focus operation on the interactive element, and the electronic device advances the game process according to the different feedback results, switches the interface or changes the current interface element.

[0071] Correspondingly, in the current game link, if the second gesture operation instruction of the user on the accessibility focus is not received within a preset time length, third prompt voice information is played to prompt the user that the operation is timed out. For example, the preset time length is 20 seconds, in the voting link, the user does not perform the second gesture operation of voting within 20 seconds, and the third prompt voice information is played based on the earpiece mode or the earphone insertion mode to prompt the user that the operation is timed out.

[0072] In some embodiments, the switching of the interface or the change of the current interface element includes interface switching or current interface element change caused by game link switching. For example, when the dealing link is switched to the communication link, the interface is switched or the current interface element is changed.

[0073] In some embodiments, after the second gesture operation instruction of the user on the accessibility focus corresponding to the interactive element is received within the preset time length, the method further includes:

[0074] determining whether the first current interface changes according to the game link of the table game application based on the second gesture operation instruction;

[0075] if the first current interface changes, the description information of the accessibility focus of the changed first current interface is played by voice, and the accessibility focus of the first current interface is refreshed.

[0076] Specifically, if the second gesture operation instruction of the user on the accessibility focus corresponding to the interactive element is received within the preset time length, it is judged whether the first current interface changes according to the game link of the table game application based on the second gesture operation instruction, that is, when the user operates the interactive element, the game link judges whether the current interface changes. Different game links will display different interface elements; if the first current interface changes, the description information of the accessibility focus of the changed first current interface is audibly broadcasted, and the accessibility focus of the first current interface is refreshed. When the interface changes, the changed interface is audibly broadcasted, so that the visually impaired user knows that the interface has changed, and the accessibility focus of the first current interface is refreshed.

[0077] In some embodiments, after judging whether the first current interface changes according to the game link of the table game application based on the second gesture operation instruction, the method further comprises:

[0078] If the first current interface does not change, it is judged whether the interactive element of the unchanged first current interface changes.

[0079] If the interactive element changes, the description information of the accessibility focus of the changed interactive element is audibly broadcasted, and the accessibility focus of the first current interface is refreshed.

[0080] Specifically, after judging whether the first current interface changes according to the game link of the table game application based on the second gesture operation instruction, if the first current interface does not change, it is judged whether the interactive element of the unchanged first current interface changes, that is, if the first current interface is switched, it is judged whether the interactive element under the first current interface changes. If the interactive element of the first current interface changes, the same is audibly broadcasted, and the audibly broadcasted is based on the earpiece mode or the earphone insertion mode, so that the visually impaired user knows that the interactive element of the first current interface has changed, and the accessibility focus of the first current interface is refreshed.

[0081] In some embodiments, the feedback on the second gesture operation instruction to obtain a feedback result comprises:

[0082] If the feedback result is to limit the execution of the second gesture operation instruction, a second prompt voice information is played to prompt the user that the operation fails and the reason for the operation failure.

[0083] Specifically, if the second gesture operation instruction of the user on the accessibility focus corresponding to the interactable element is received within a preset time length, the electronic device plays a second prompt voice information when feeding back the second gesture operation instruction, prompting the user that the operation fails and the reason for the operation failure. Therefore, the electronic device can play the second prompt voice information when the user makes a mistake in operation, and the user can re-operate after clicking the confirmation.

[0084] S204: voice broadcast of the game progress, the switched interface, or the changed current interface element.

[0085] Specifically, the electronic device voice broadcasts the game progress, the switched interface, or the changed current interface element. Optionally, the voice broadcast is based on the earpiece mode or the earphone insertion mode, so that the visually impaired user knows the game progress, the interface switching, or the element change.

[0086] In the embodiments of the present application, the electronic device sets the accessibility focus corresponding to the interface element of the tabletop game application, so that the visually impaired user can obtain the information corresponding to the interface element, wherein the interface element includes the current game state and operation instructions, thereby realizing the information acquisition of the visually impaired user on the current state and operation instructions of the tabletop game application. When the visually impaired user performs gesture operation on the accessibility focus, the electronic device receives the first gesture operation instruction of the user, and voice broadcasts the description information of the accessibility focus, so that the visually impaired user obtains the corresponding voice prompt when operating the interface element. If the interface element includes an interactable element, and if the second gesture operation instruction of the user on the accessibility focus corresponding to the interactable element is received within a preset time length, the feedback result is obtained by feeding back, and the feedback in the interaction process is also given to the user by switching the interface, changing the interface element, and voice broadcasting, so that the visually impaired user can participate in the tabletop game.

[0087] In some embodiments, the method further includes:

[0088] When the current game session is in the player communication state, a dialog box is output on the second current interface; the dialog box includes an information area and an input area, the information area includes a player name and player information, the input area includes an input template and a text editing box, and the player name and player information, the input template, and the text editing box are respectively set with a first auxiliary function focus;

[0089] If a third finger operation instruction of the user on the first auxiliary function focus of the input template is received, a plurality of text templates are output, and the text templates carry corresponding text information;

[0090] filling the text information into the text edit box upon receiving a selection operation instruction of the user on the text template;

[0091] sending the text template to the information area upon receiving a sending operation instruction of the user on the first auxiliary function focus corresponding to the edited text edit box.

[0092] Specifically, the card-based table game provides a communication mode between players. When the current game session is in a player communication state, such as an open player communication state, if it is an offline environment, a visually impaired user can communicate with other players by means of text. When communicating by means of text, a dialog box is output on a second current interface, the dialog box includes an information area and an input area, the information area includes a player name and player information, the input area includes an input template and a text edit box, and the player name and player information, the input template and the text edit box are respectively provided with a first auxiliary function focus. That is, in the information area, the player name and the player information can be touched by means of single-finger touch. Since the first auxiliary function focus is provided, the name and the player information of other players can be obtained by means of a screen reader, and the messages can also be browsed by sweeping. In the input area, the input template can be selected, such as different game sessions with different input templates, or self-edited text. The visually impaired user can use a single-finger touch gesture to obtain the input template content and use a single-finger sweeping gesture to switch between the input templates.

[0093] The visually impaired user can switch between the selectable input templates by means of single-finger up-and-down sweeping. Each time the switching is performed, the text information of the switched input template is read by means of a screen reader, so that the visually impaired user knows the information. When the user receives a selection operation instruction on the text template, the text information is filled into the text edit box. That is, when the user determines the desired text template, the text template is selected, and the selection operation instruction can be triggered by means of a single-finger double-click gesture, so as to fill the text information into the text edit box.

[0094] When the user finishes editing, a sending button auxiliary function focus is provided, and the visually impaired user can send the message by means of single-finger double-clicking the focus. The electronic device sends the text template to the information area upon receiving a sending operation instruction of the user on the first auxiliary function focus corresponding to the edited text edit box, so as to complete the communication between the visually impaired user and other players.

[0095] In some embodiments, the method further includes:

[0096] When the current game session is in a player communication state and the game environment in which the player is located is isolated, the dialog box further comprises a voice call button, and the voice call button is correspondingly provided with a second auxiliary function focus;

[0097] When a voice request operation instruction of a user for the second auxiliary function focus is received, a voice call mode is established if there is a player who meets the current session rule. The player who meets the current session rule can join the current voice session for communication. In addition, the interface can also provide mute and exit auxiliary function focus, and the visually impaired user can perform corresponding operations through double-click operation.
