Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If barrier-free access testing is performed on real terminals, then testing reliability is ensured, but test efficiency deteriorates due to cumbersome procedures
Solution Approach 1:
The patent creates a virtual copy of the real terminal environment through a simulator. The simulator replicates the terminal's display, input, and interaction characteristics, allowing barrier-free access testing to be performed on the virtual copy instead of physical terminals. This copying approach maintains testing reliability while eliminating the need for cumbersome real terminal procedures.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces an intermediary testing system consisting of the simulator and barrier-free access testing tool. This intermediary layer sits between the developer and the real terminal, providing a simplified testing interface that automatically handles complex barrier-free access detection and evaluation, thereby improving efficiency without sacrificing reliability.
2Productivity
If barrier-free access mode is enabled in simulator, then test efficiency is improved, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent designs the simulator to serve multiple functions: it not only simulates the terminal environment for general development but also specifically supports barrier-free access testing when the testing mode is activated. By making the simulator multi-functional, the patent avoids adding a completely separate testing system, thereby limiting the increase in device complexity while still improving test efficiency.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent segments the barrier-free access testing functionality into a separate testing tool that works with the simulator. This segmentation allows the core simulator to remain relatively simple while adding specialized testing capabilities through a modular tool, preventing excessive complexity in the main system.
3Ease of operation
If visual display of barrier-free access information is implemented, then ease of operation is improved, but information accuracy may be compromised
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements a feedback mechanism where the simulator captures actual terminal behavior data (such as screen reading output, focus navigation sequences) and feeds this information back to the testing tool. The testing tool then processes this feedback data to generate visual displays, ensuring that the ease of operation is maintained while preserving measurement precision through data-driven feedback loops.

AI summary
A method for executing a target program is performed by a computer device. The method includes: displaying a user interface of a simulator, the user interface including a program page of the target program; enabling a barrier-free access mode of the target program in the simulator, in response to an enabling operation of the barrier-free access mode; and displaying information of barrier-free access on a page element in the program page of the target program in the barrier-free access mode. According to the present disclosure, the test for barrier-free access can be directly carried out on the simulator in a visual manner, with no need to run the target program on a real user terminal.
