Description

DESCRIPTION

Typhlological sensor-touch model.

Technical sector

The present invention belongs to the field of museology and more specifically to the manufacture of typhlological models.

The object of the present invention is the manufacture of typhlological models intended primarily for people with reduced or no visual impairment with a novel system controlled by touch sensors and locutions.

Background of the invention

In the exhibition spaces, museum, public buildings and monuments there are typhoological models of all kinds that are intended primarily for blind people. These come to explain by means of legends in braille system or by symbology, what is desired in each of them. The blind person must look for the symbols, numbers or letters in each element of the model, to later look for it in a legend and to be able to understand what he has been touching.

Currently there is no typhological model that allows you to be touching a specific element while receiving the information in real time. Conventional typhlological models show deterioration in the legends, loss of support, errors in the printing of braille points that make it difficult for blind people to understand and even non-existent information.

Explanation of the invention.

The inventor of the present application has developed a new type of typhological model that solves the aforementioned problems, replacing the conventional typhlological model with the sensor-tactile typhlological model.

These types of models are of unique manufacture, they are not repeated again, so each project depends on a unique study and development. In this type of model, (for example, La Alhambra in Granada), a previous historiographic study is carried out that will allow us to develop a series of voice phrases in MP3 format of each of the points of interest that we are interested in defining in the model.

These files with MP3 locutions are loaded on a CPU control board and are directed via single-wire connections to the desired touch element, for example: "La Vela Tower".

When the person touches La Torre de La Vela in this case, the touch is transmitted through the cable connected to the CPU board and it gives an activation order to the MP3 locution that is programmed for this element in the model.

An audio Jack connection that has output from the CPU board gives sound to a speaker housed in the furniture of the model, returning to the visitor his audio explanation in real time.

Brief description of the drawings

FIG 1 shows a front sectional view of the sensor-touch system that we use in the invention.

Preferred Embodiment of the Invention

An example of the operation of a sensor-touch typhlological model according to the present invention is described below, referring to the attached figure.

The device is powered by a 5VDC power supply (1) to later switch to the CPU Board (2) which is the one that contains the programming of the audio tracks in MP3.

With the connection of a single cable (3) to the element that you want to touch, the person's touch is conducted when touching the piece to the CPU Board (2) to give way to the activation of the MP3 audio track programmed for the piece touched by the visitor.

An audio connection Jack (4) will pass the sound to a speaker (5) that will be housed in the base or cabinet of the model.
