Abstract

Bastón electrónico de ayuda a la movilidad para discapacitados visuales.#El presente documento hace referencia a un bastón electrónico formado por un Bastón Blanco estándar de cualquier tipo cuyo mango es sustituido por el mango electrónico objeto de la presente invención. El mango contiene una serie de sensores de ultrasonidos dispuesto con una orientación determinada, que dependerá de la altura y talla del usuario, a partir de la cual es posible discriminar dos regiones espaciales delimitadas a una altura aproximada de la cintura del invidente. La discriminación de estas regiones posibilita localizar la posición de objetos frente al usuario, implicando un aviso adecuado ante obstáculos aéreos imposibles de detectar mediante un Bastón Blanco tradicional, y a su vez la eliminación de información redundante o no necesaria ante elementos que no suponen un obstáculo real en el camino del usuario.#Ante una situación en la que el usuario pueda colisionar con un objeto suspendido, e imposible de detectar con el contacto del propio bastón, se produce un aviso mediante la vibración de una pulsera que el usuario lleva colocada en la muñeca. La pulsera puede ir unida al bastón electrónico mediante una conexión eléctrica (cable) que contiene un conector de seguridad. Si el bastón queda encajado en algún obstáculo (e.g. rejilla de alcantarillado) el conector se libera evitando que el usuario sufra un tirón peligroso en su muñeca.Electronic walking stick for mobility aid for the visually impaired. # This document refers to an electronic baton consisting of a standard White Cane of any type whose handle is replaced by the electronic handle object of the present invention. The handle contains a series of ultrasonic sensors arranged with a specific orientation, which will depend on the height and size of the user, from which it is possible to discriminate between two spatial regions delimited at an approximate height of the blind's waist. The discrimination of these regions makes it possible to locate the position of objects in front of the user, implying an adequate warning against aerial obstacles impossible to detect by means of a traditional White Staff, and in turn the elimination of redundant or unnecessary information before elements that do not represent a real obstacle. in the user's path. # In a situation where the user can collide with a suspended object, and impossible to detect with the contact of the cane itself, a warning is produced by the vibration of a bracelet that the user wears placed on the doll. The bracelet can be attached to the electronic stick through an electrical connection (cable) that contains a safety connector. If the cane is fitted in an obstacle (e.g. sewer grid) the connector is released preventing the user from suffering a dangerous pull on his wrist.
