Abstract

A typical GUI consists of many components, with different components applicable in different contexts. It is desirable to have state-sensitive control over the GUI components' accessibilities. State-based accessibility control makes accessible only the components which are semantically applicable in a specific GUI state. State-based accessibility helps reduce users' operational error rates and simplify GUI implementation. This paper integrates state-based accessibility control with hierarchical state machines, providing a powerful framework for modeling and controlling GUIs. Statebased accessibility control has two possible implementations. One is based on the entry actions of states. The other is based on the effect actions of state transitions.
