Definitions

  • the invention relates to a method and a device to guide the visually impaired and blind after the The preamble of claim 1 or 6.
  • GPS Global Positioning System
  • This blind guidance system already enables one Blind access to orientation information To overcome the foreignness.
  • the one in this Publication described satellite-based "Blindenstock" works together with the GPS system in Combination with a computer worn on the body, in which the intended route was entered beforehand. The Blind people are then guided by acoustic signals.
  • the invention has for its object a method to improve the management of the blind and visually impaired with the help of an electronic Management system to create that without simultaneous Line of sight to four, in the specific constellation involved satellites that work more safely and also a much more precise one for the blind Management information and environment information in combination with voice input and output, as well as a To create facility to carry out the procedure.
  • the cane 2 is made by a person 1 who blind or severely visually impaired, used to be in one Environment 3 to feel an environment to a certain extent. Basically, the blind can be extreme In principle, the visually impaired only in one him Orient the known environment with the help of the cane 2 and as a result he has an extremely limited one Action radius. He has his own experience Image of the environment he has developed in his Memory. For example, when he leaves his house, he gropes he gradually progressed with the help of the cane 2.
  • Fig. 2 is now a blind or visually impaired Person 1 shown with a normal cane 2, with whose help he palpate his immediate surroundings 3 can, for example the road sign shown 4.
  • a GPS receiver 5 On the back carries the blind or severely visually impaired Person 1 a GPS receiver 5 in which the Movement routes are saved.
  • the GPS receiver 5 is provided with a voice output 7, which tells him what and when he can perform which activity or movement.
  • the GPS receiver 5 is satellite-based, in which Example four GPS satellites 6 with the GPS receiver 5 in Connect.
  • Example four GPS satellites 6 with the GPS receiver 5 in Connect.
  • the integration of location functionality in GPS systems for example methods for probing objects a situation-subjectively unknown environment, for example GPS-controlled navigation systems in traffic telematics, and the electronically stored image of the basic infrastructural conditions of the movement space is already basically solved for traffic control.
  • the "rough" perception of the locality information for the blind or severely visually impaired person 1 takes place through a voice response 7, in which the person from one location server to be activated telematically via Is told where it is and how its immediate surroundings looks like. For example read: "When you get off the tram line 5 and their direction of walking turned away from the tram then keep left. After 50 meters comes a traffic light crossing. Cross the traffic lights and then go 100 yards further to the left where they are already at the entrance of the shopping center you want stand.”
  • This fan 12 must be in Direction of movement of the blind or severely visually impaired Person 1 can be controlled dynamically and periodically in terms of a continuous, pendulum-like Scanning of the immediate near-range of motion, that means a few meters ahead and in coarser ones Time intervals, depending on the speed of movement of person 1, for example once a minute, by one scanning technical fade-in process, that is Scanning a distance range between ten and twenty meters ahead.
  • the detailed location information scanned by the beam 11 is in turn implemented in the system, i.e. acoustically made noticeable. So, for example, an implementation read: "Warning, you are about to encounter an obstacle to Example traffic sign 4. "This can be at a distance of approx. two to three meters or it can be warned like this: "Warning, it is moving Object, for example a car at a speed towards you from approx. 20 km / h, immediately give way to two Steps left out ".
  • Fig. 3 there is the GSM receiver with location functionality 10 that with a voice input and output and one Sensor 13 is equipped with base stations 8 one GSM / UMTS network via radio waves 9 in connection.
  • base stations 8 the presence of base stations 8 does not close that the GSM / UMTS receiver 10 with Location functionality, voice input and output and one Sensor 13 also receives information via GPS satellites.
  • the combination of both systems is a universally effective one Variant of the present invention.
