People with deaf-blindness are unfortunately locked in a deaf and blind spot of communication in our society. Their identity as a human being is even unstable because the barrier of disabilities blocks the expression of thoughts and communication with others.
This study introduces the framework and the principle of the Braille Language – the language based on the braille which could be a basic means of communication for people with deaf-blindness. Braille Language is a kind of extension of the existing braille for people with visual impairments. The most important expressions for the deaf and blind to live and communicate should be categorized according to ⌜The Development of Korean language education content (4th step), National Korean Language Institute (Han Song-Hwa, 2015)⌟ and ⌜A Study on the Selection of Basic Theme Vocabulary for Korean Elementary Learners (Kim Young-Seon, 2005)⌟. They are defined as a promised code system called “Braille Language System” after categorizing the languages necessary for the life of people with deaf-blindness into semantic group. The people with deaf-blindness can communicate directly with the world through “the Braille Language System”, which translates the Braille Languages into Korean and transmits them to the smart phone of the opposite, and translates Korean words into the Braille Languages and allows people with deaf-blindness to perceive them with tactile sense.
In future research, the Braille Language System should be made in a form of more practical and functional and even attractive design not glove form so that it will be more popular for people with deaf-blindness. If Braille Language System can be upgrade to control smart phone owned by a deaf and blind person including input and output, then it will lead that person not only to communication but also to the access to the useful information through the various functions of the smart phone.
