DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Embodiments of the guide device according to the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing a configuration of the guide device according to the embodiment. The guide device according to the embodiment includes a drive mechanism 7 including a motor, a gear, a tire, and the like so as to be able to move by itself, so that a user can sit on a chair like a wheelchair and get on. I have. In another embodiment, instead of the user getting on the vehicle, a structure may be provided in which a string or a rod is provided, and the guide device pulls the user having the string or the rod.

The microcomputer (microcomputer) 1 includes:
The microcomputer 1 is connected to a storage device 3 including a ROM, a RAM, a magnetic disk, and the like. The storage device 3 is connected to a program and various data. Are stored and can be stored. The microcomputer 1 further includes an operation unit 2 composed of various switches such as a push button switch for a user to operate, a GPS (Global Positioning Sys
tem) A receiver 4, a display 8 composed of a liquid crystal display device for displaying various information, a camera, an image processing device, an infrared sensor, an ultrasonic sensor, etc., for detecting an obstacle in front of the guide device. The sensor 6 is connected to input and output various data. Microcomputer 1
Is further connected to a wireless device 5 for performing wireless communication with the center device 9, so that data exchange and wireless communication between the guide device and the center device 9 are enabled.

Next, the operation of the guide device and the processing performed by the microcomputer 1 will be described. FIG. 2 is a flowchart showing a guidance process performed by the microcomputer 1, and the process is started at the time of a guidance operation start operation.

First, in step S1, it is determined whether or not a destination has been input via the operation unit 2. If it is determined that the destination has been input, the process proceeds to step S2. If it is determined that the input has not been performed, step S1 is performed. Is repeated. In step S2, a route search to the destination is performed, and it is determined whether or not the vehicle can be reached from the remaining amount of the driving battery and the distance to the destination. The process proceeds to step S3, and if it is determined that the vehicle cannot be reached, the process proceeds to step S9. In step S9, the reachable point calculated based on the remaining amount of power of the driving battery is displayed on the display unit 2, and then the process proceeds to step S10. In step S10, based on the operation status of the operation unit 2 (determined by the user), if it is determined to depart, the process proceeds to step S3, and if it is determined not to depart, the process proceeds to step S11. In step S11, an instruction to charge the battery is displayed on the display unit 2, and then in step S11.
Return to 1. In step S3, guidance to the destination is started,
Thereafter, the process proceeds to step S4. For guidance, in addition to indicating directions like a conventional navigation device, the guidance device itself moves in that direction and conveys the user who got on the guidance device, or pulls the user holding the string or rod of the guidance device Becomes

As described above, steps S1 and S
2. When the destination is set by the processing of step S3, step S9, step S10, and step S11, guidance is started when the destination can be reached by the remaining electric power of the driving battery. When it is impossible to reach the ground, the reachable point is displayed, and then the user is judged whether to start the guidance. Therefore, during the guidance, the user suddenly runs out of battery and stops the guidance device. For this reason, an unexpected situation can be avoided.

In step S4, it is determined whether or not there is an obstacle in front of the guide device based on the signal from the sensor 6.
If it is determined that there is an obstacle, the process proceeds to step S12. If it is determined that there is no obstacle, the process proceeds to step S5. In step S12, an avoidance operation of an obstacle, for example, a notification that a detour or a temporary stop is to be performed (voice output / display) and an avoidance operation are performed.
Thereafter, the process proceeds to step S5. By the processing in the steps S4 and S12, it is possible to safely perform the avoiding operation of the obstacle (the object placed on the route or the pedestrian who happens to be located in front of the guide device). As an obstacle detecting means, in addition to using an image captured by a camera or the like, a warning sound at a crossing (obtained by a microphone and comparing the waveform with various warning sound waveforms stored in the storage device 3) or the like is used. For example, a means for detecting the position can be adopted.

In step S5, it is determined whether or not guidance around the guidance device is necessary.
If it is determined that it is not necessary, the process proceeds to step S6.
In step S13, a nearby map and facility information are displayed on the display 8, and then the process proceeds to step S6. Through the processes in steps S5 and S13, the user can obtain information around the guidance device when necessary.
The necessity of guidance around the guidance device is based on the operation contents of the operation unit 2 by the user, time (display of a dining room or the like during meals and rest periods), scent sensor output (smell previously specified, For example, when the scent of the ramen is detected, the surrounding ramen shop is displayed or the like).

In step S6, it is determined whether an abnormality of the guide device such as a dead battery is detected. If it is determined that there is an abnormality, the process proceeds to step S14. If it is determined that there is no abnormality, the process proceeds to step S7. In step S14, it is determined whether or not there is a facility (a charging facility in the case of a dead battery, a maintenance facility or the like in the case of a failure) in the vicinity of which the guide device can be returned to normal.
If not, the process proceeds to step S16. In step S15,
The guidance of the destination as a facility for normalizing the guidance device is started, and then the process proceeds to step S7. In step S16,
A signal for requesting rescue (help signal including position information) is transmitted to the center device 9, and a notification of an abnormality to the surroundings is provided by a method of turning on and blinking a lamp indicating an abnormality so that the surrounding people can be rescued. And then end the process.

When an abnormality occurs in the guide device by the processing in steps S6, S14, S15, and S16, a guide to a maintenance facility or a request for rescue to the center is made according to the situation.
Appropriate measures are taken even for a failure, and the user can use the guide device with confidence. It should be noted that not only the abnormality of the guidance device but also the poor physical condition of the user is achieved by the rescue operation of the operation unit 2 by the user or the like (in this case, the determination in step S6 and step S14 is YES). By making it possible to transmit a signal for requesting rescue to 9, a more useful guide device can be provided.

In step S7, it is determined whether or not the vehicle has arrived at the destination. If it is determined that the vehicle has arrived, guidance of arrival is provided (step S8). Thereafter, the process is completed. If it is determined that the vehicle has not arrived, step S17 is performed. And then returns to step S4 to continue the above-described guidance until the vehicle reaches the destination.

As described above, according to the guide device shown in FIG. 1, it is possible to provide safe and reliable guidance while providing appropriate information to the destination. However, it is possible to realize a guidance device that can appropriately cope with the situation.

Next, a second embodiment of the guide device according to the present invention will be described. FIG. 3 is a block diagram showing a schematic configuration of the guide device according to the second embodiment. Note that the present embodiment shows an example of a guide device that also plays a role of a caddy, such as play guidance for a golf course.
