Abstract
Description
Die
Erfindung betrifft eine Vorrichtung zum Führen von Blinden. Aus der
Einer schnellen Fortbewegung steht der Stab ebenfalls im Wege, da er nicht ein Weg zwischen Hindernissen weist, sondern allenfalls vor Hindernissen warnt.one fast movement is the rod also in the way, since he is not a path between obstacles, but at most obstacles warns.
Der Erfindung lag daher die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine intelligente Vorrichtung zu schaffen, die einen derartigen Weg weisen kann, u. U. sogar einen vorab bekannten und gespeicherten Weg zum mehrfachen Abfahren dem Blinden signalisiert. Dabei soll insbesondere das Umgehen von Hindernissen bzw. der gerade Weg auf einem vorbekannten Pfad ermöglicht werden.Of the The invention was therefore based on the object, an intelligent device to create, which can point such a way u. You may even have one in advance known and stored way to multiple departing the blind man signaled. In particular, the avoidance of obstacles or the straight path on a previously known path are made possible.
Das Autonome System kann beispielsweise via W-Lan Signale von Restaurants oder „Sehenswürdigkeiten" empfangen und auf Wunsch des Users spontan die Route ändern.The Autonomous system can, for example, via Wi-Fi signals from restaurants or "sights" received and on Desire of the user spontaneously change the route.
Erfindungsgemäß wird dies durch die Merkmale des Hauptanspruches, d. h. einen mit einem angetriebenen Rad versehenen Stockkorpus gelöst, an dessen Handgriff der Blinde angreift. Eine Lenkeinrichtung zur Eigenverdrehung des Stockkorpus zwischen Rad und Handgriff sorgt dafür, dass bei beibehaltener Bodenhaftung des Rades am Boden stets ein günstiger Weg signalisiert wird. Die hinderniserfassenden Sensormittel werden derart mit der Eigenverdrehlenkeinrichtung und dem Antrieb für das Rad gekoppelt, dass nur nach einem Einlenken auf einen hindernisfreien Weg ein Antrieb für das Rad erfolgt. Damit wird der Blinde, wenn er vor einem Hindernis steht, einen Stab in der Hand halten, der sich zunächst zur Seite dreht, das dort vorhandene Hindernispotential mit den Sensormitteln erfasst und für den Fall, dass dort ebenfalls Hindernisse sind, sich weiter verdreht bis er einen Weg an dem Hindernis vorbei gefunden hat. Das Gerät reagiert auf dynamische Bewegungen (z. B. Passanten) und kann sich dem Fluss in der Geschwindigkeit anpassen.According to the invention this is by the features of the main claim, d. H. one with a powered one Wheel-finished floor carcass solved, on whose handle the blind man attacks. A steering device for Self-rotation of the floor body between the wheel and handle ensures for this, that while maintaining the grip of the wheel on the ground is always a better Way is signaled. The obstacle-sensing sensor means are coupled with the self-tuning device and the drive for the wheel, that only after a turn on an obstacle-free way Drive for the wheel is done. Thus the blind becomes, when he stands before an obstacle, holding a staff in his hand, which initially turns to the side, that there existing obstacle potential detected with the sensor means and in the case, that there are also obstacles, continue to twist until he find a way past the obstacle. The device reacts on dynamic movements (such as passers-by) and can join the flow adjust in speed.
Als Antrieb für das Rad wird ein Elektromotor vorgeschlagen, wobei ein Akku entweder von dem Blinden ein einem Rucksack getragen wird, oder bei genügender Leistungsstärke in den Stockkorpus integriert wird. Als Akku kommt ein Lithium-Ionen-Akku oder eine Brennstoffzelle in Frage.When Drive for the wheel is proposed an electric motor, with a battery either by the blind one is carried a backpack, or with sufficient power in the Stock carcass is integrated. As a battery comes a lithium-ion battery or a fuel cell in question.
Weiter wird vorgeschlagen, einen Rechner in den Stockkorpus zu integrieren, der nicht nur die Sensormitteldaten auswertet, beispielsweise über bilderfassende Verfahren, sondern auch die durch einen weiter vorgesehenen Kompass erhaltenen Richtungsdaten und Vorteilhafter weise ebenfalls die durch einen GPS-Fänger Lokalisierungsdaten, die auch die Höheninformation, d. h. in einem Gebäude eines Stockwerkes Information aufnehmen können. Durch intelligente Schnittstellen mit dem Benutzer, können Weg und Positionen abgespeichert werden, so dass die GPS-Daten vorbekannter Wege verfolgt werden können, bzw. Abweichungen von diesen Wegen erfasst und durch entsprechende Lenkausschläge korrigiert werden können. Neben satellitengeschützten Navigationssystemen ist innerhalb von Gebäuden auch die Navigation durch W-LAN-Signale oder einen Schrittzähler möglich.Further it is proposed to integrate a computer into the floor carcass, which not only evaluates the sensor means data, for example via image capturing Procedure, but also by a further provided compass obtained direction data and Advantageously, also by a GPS catcher Localization data, which includes the altitude information, d. H. in one Building one Store floor information. Through intelligent interfaces with the user, can Way and positions are stored, so that the GPS data previously known Ways can be traced or deviations from these paths are detected and by appropriate steering rashes can be corrected. In addition to satellite-protected Navigation systems is also navigating through buildings W-LAN signals or a pedometer possible.
Ein Blinder kann mit dem Gerät über ein Interface im Griff sowohl taktil als auch auditiv über ein beispielsweise mit Blue-Tooth angebundenes Headset mit dem Gerät interagieren.One Blinder can use the device over Interface under control both tactile and auditory over one example Blue-tooth connected headset interact with the device.
Weitere Merkmale und Vorteile der Erfindung ergeben sich aus nachfolgender Beschreibung eines bevorzugten Ausführungsbeispiels anhand der beigefügten Zeichnung.Further Features and advantages of the invention will become apparent from the following Description of a preferred embodiment with reference to attached Drawing.

Als Sensormittel werden insbesondere eine Kamera mit um vertikalen Öffnungswinkel von beispielsweise 120 Grad vorgeschlagen, die sowohl bodenseitige wie auch Hindernisse in Kopfhöhe erfassen kann, sowie Ultraschallsensoren, die außer nach vorne insbesondere zu den beiden Seiten wirken und dort Hindernisse oder auch auf den Blinden hinzukommende Hindernisse erfassen. Bei derartigen Situationen wird der Stock stehen bleiben, um dem Blinden, wie beispielsweise einen Blindenhund vorgefahren, zu schützen. Der Blinde selbst wird wissen, ob er auf einer Strasse ist, wo ein Stehen bleiben nicht tunlich ist, oder wie er die ja nur als Vorschlag zu wertende Reaktion des Stockes nutzen kann. Durch einfaches Anheben des Stockes und Einsetzen in die entgegengesetzte Richtung kann er sich auf dem Weg, auf dem er sich bisher bewegt hat, auch wieder zurückbewegen.As a sensor means in particular a camera with vertical opening angle of, for example, 120 degrees are proposed, which can detect both bottom-side and obstacles at head level, and ultrasonic sensors, which act forward especially to the two sides and there obstacles or even on the blind added obstacles to capture. In such situations, the stick will stop to Blind people, such as driving a guide dog, protect. The blind man himself will know whether he is on a street where standing still is not feasible, or how he can use the reaction of the hive, which is only a suggestive judgment. By simply lifting the stick and inserting it in the opposite direction, it can also move back on the way it has moved so far.
Ganz allgemein lässt sich die Vorrichtung zum Führen von Blinden sehr gut mit einem Blindenhund vergleichen und durch entsprechende Programmierung des vorhandenen Rechners lassen sich auch andere, durch Blindenhunde, realisierte Führungsaufgaben einprogrammieren.All generally lets the device for guiding by blind people compare very well with a guide dog and by appropriate programming of the existing computer can be also program other, by guide dogs, realized leadership tasks.
