android - 什么是耳标？

Question

我刚刚偶然发现了 Android 的 TTS API 中的方法 TextToSpeech.addEarcon(String, String)。我实际上在网上找不到更多信息，所以有人知道耳标到底是什么吗？

谢谢!

耳标

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Earcon

An earcon is a brief, distinctive sound used to represent a specific event or convey other information. Earcons are a common feature of computer operating systems and applications, ranging from beeping when an error occurs to the customizable sound schemes of Windows 7 that indicate startup, shutdown, and many other events.

The name is a pun on the more familiar term icon in computer interfaces. Icon sounds like "eye-con" and are visual, which inspired D.A. Sumikawa to coin "earcon" as the auditory equivalent in a 1985 article, 'Guidelines for the integration of audio cues into computer user interfaces.'
