Description

本発明は案内装置に係り、特に無線通信により交信して、人を情報提供すべき所定位置に案内することができる案内装置に関する。   The present invention relates to a guidance device, and more particularly, to a guidance device capable of guiding a person to a predetermined position where information should be provided by communicating by wireless communication.

従来から、視覚障害者や高齢者(以下、「視覚障害者等」とする。)のために種々の案内装置や誘導装置が提案されている(例えば、特許文献1−4参照。)。例えば、視覚障害者等が歩行する際に携帯させる送信機と、交差点、バス乗り場、公共施設入口等に設置され送信機から放射される電波に基づき言葉による位置案内情報を放送するスピーカを有する音声案内情報装置とから成るものが知られている。このシステムによれば、音声案内情報装置が目的の場所まで誘導するので、視覚障害者等の単独歩行を補助することができる。   Conventionally, various guidance devices and guidance devices have been proposed for visually impaired persons and elderly persons (hereinafter referred to as “visually impaired persons”) (see, for example, Patent Documents 1-4). For example, a transmitter that is carried when a visually handicapped person walks, and a voice that has a speaker that broadcasts location guidance information in words based on radio waves radiated from the transmitter installed at intersections, bus stops, public facilities entrances, etc. What consists of a guidance information device is known. According to this system, since the voice guidance information device guides to a target location, it is possible to assist a single person walking such as a visually impaired person.

特開平10−255193号公報JP 10-255193 A 特開平8−246422号公報JP-A-8-246422 特開平7−250863号公報Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 7-250863 特開平9−270436号公報Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 9-270436

しかしながら、音声案内情報装置のスピーカは屋外で使用する場合には雑音が多いので、音量を大きくできる構造のものでなければならず、この音量を大きくできる構造のスピーカを音声案内情報装置に内蔵すると装置自体が大型化することになり、而もこのスピーカは交差点、バス乗り場、公共施設入口等に設置されているので、周囲を通行する人を驚かすことにもなり、また、スピーカ同士が近接している場合には、異なる音声が重複して聞き取りにくくなる難点があった。また、音声案内情報装置は電源として商用電源を使用する場合には設置工事が煩雑になり、電池を使用する場合には装置自体が大型化する難点があった。さらに、視覚障害者等自身が送信機のボタンを押して電波を飛ばさなければ音声案内情報装置からは位置案内情報が放送されないので、誘導路や誘導ブロック等が設置されていないと視覚障害者等は玄関、階段、交差点等が近くにあることを認識することができず、目的地に到達できなくなる虞があった。   However, since the loudspeaker of the voice guidance information device is noisy when used outdoors, it must have a structure that can increase the volume, and if the speaker having a structure that can increase the volume is built in the voice guidance information device, The equipment itself will be large, and this speaker is installed at intersections, bus stops, public facilities entrances, etc., which will surprise people who pass around it, and the speakers are close to each other. In such a case, there is a difficulty that it becomes difficult to hear different voices. In addition, the voice guidance information device has a complicated installation work when a commercial power source is used as a power source, and the device itself becomes large when a battery is used. Furthermore, since the visually impaired person will not broadcast the location guidance information from the voice guidance information device unless he / she presses the button on the transmitter and emits radio waves, the visually impaired person or the like will not be able to use the guidance route or guidance block. There was a possibility that the destination, the stairs, the intersection, etc. could not be recognized and the destination could not be reached.

また、本発明の第5の態様は第1の態様乃至第4の態様の何れかにおいて前記設置用送受信機および前記携帯用送受信機のデータ通信で使用される周波数は100〜999MHzである。   According to a fifth aspect of the present invention, in any of the first to fourth aspects, a frequency used in data communication of the installation transceiver and the portable transceiver is 100 to 999 MHz.

また、本発明の第6の態様は第1の態様乃至第5の態様の何れかにおいて設置用送受信機の電源部は、商用電源に接続可能な接続手段を備えているものである。   According to a sixth aspect of the present invention, in any one of the first to fifth aspects, the power supply unit of the installation transceiver includes connection means that can be connected to a commercial power supply.

このような案内装置によれば、携帯用送受信機から質問用搬送波が送信されると、設置用送受信機は受信部でその質問用搬送波を受信し、電源部で当該質問用搬送波の電力を直流電流に変換して、動作電源が必要な各部に電源として供給する。この電源部からの電源供給により、設置用送受信機は復調部で質問用搬送波から確認信号を復調し、制御部で確認信号に基づき記憶部に記憶された当該設置用送受信機が設置されている所定位置の情報を読み出して案内コードや位置コードを含む情報案内信号として変調部に出力する。変調部で情報案内信号を周波数変調した応答用搬送波は、送信部から携帯用送受信機に送信される。携帯用送受信機は、この応答用搬送波を受信することにより所定位置の情報を取得し、当該携帯用送受信機を携帯している人に、音声や映像にてこの所定位置の情報の内容を知らせることができる。また、搬送波の電力を直流電流に変換して直流電源を発生させているので商用電源や電池に比べて小さな電力となるが、通信距離を延ばす周波数に周波数変調したFM波によって通信しているので、ある程度まで遠くに飛ばすことができる。また、所定位置の情報が記号化されることから、設置用送受信機から送信する情報量を少なくすることができる。また、設置用送受信機は、ICチップ化され1つの回路基板にボンディングされてから樹脂封止されていることから、商用電源や電池を使用することなく軽量小型化できるので、あらゆる所に簡単に設置することができる。また、携帯用送受信機は、質問用搬送波を間欠送信する送信機能を有していることから、携帯用送受信機を携帯している人は、玄関、階段、交差点や、美術館における絵画等が近くになることを誘導路や誘導ブロック等で確認しなくとも、目的地まで到達することができる。また、携帯用送受信機は、設置用送受信機から送信されてきた応答用搬送波を受信して情報案内信号を復調後、当該情報案内信号に含まれる位置コードを続けて認識した場合には当該情報案内信号を読取拒否する機能を有する読取制御回路を備えていることから、設置用送受信機が設置されている所定位置の情報を2度読みすることを防ぐことができる。   According to such a guide device, when the interrogation carrier wave is transmitted from the portable transceiver, the installation transceiver receives the interrogation carrier wave at the receiving unit, and the power supply unit converts the electric power of the interrogation carrier wave to DC. It is converted into current and supplied as power to each part that requires operating power. With this power supply from the power supply unit, the installation transceiver demodulates the confirmation signal from the interrogation carrier wave in the demodulation unit, and the installation transceiver is stored in the storage unit based on the confirmation signal in the control unit. Information on the predetermined position is read out and output to the modulation unit as an information guide signal including a guide code and a position code. The response carrier wave obtained by frequency-modulating the information guide signal by the modulation unit is transmitted from the transmission unit to the portable transceiver. The portable transmitter / receiver obtains information on a predetermined position by receiving the response carrier wave, and informs the person carrying the portable transmitter / receiver of the contents of the information on the predetermined position by voice or video. be able to. In addition, since the power of the carrier wave is converted into a direct current to generate a DC power supply, the power is smaller than that of a commercial power supply or a battery, but communication is performed using FM waves that are frequency-modulated to a frequency that extends the communication distance. , Can fly far to a certain extent. In addition, since the information at the predetermined position is symbolized, the amount of information transmitted from the installation transceiver can be reduced. In addition, since the installation transceiver is made into an IC chip and bonded to a circuit board and then resin-sealed, it can be reduced in weight and size without using a commercial power supply or battery, so it can be easily installed anywhere. Can be installed. In addition, since the portable transceiver has a transmission function to intermittently transmit the interrogation carrier wave, people carrying the portable transceiver are close to the entrance, stairs, intersections, paintings in museums, etc. It is possible to reach the destination without confirming that it is a taxiway or a guidance block. In addition, when the portable transceiver receives the response carrier wave transmitted from the installation transceiver and demodulates the information guide signal, the portable transceiver receives the information when the position code included in the information guide signal is continuously recognized. Since the reading control circuit having the function of refusing to read the guide signal is provided, it is possible to prevent the information at a predetermined position where the installation transceiver is installed from being read twice.

本発明の案内装置によれば、情報提供すべき所定位置に設置される設置用送受信機を無電源化させることができるので、送受信機を小型化でき、而も設置工事が容易になる。また、情報提供を受ける人が携帯する携帯用送受信機から音声や映像で情報を知らせることができるので、周囲を通行する人を驚かすこともなく、而も異なる音声が重複して聞き取りにくくなることもない。また、搬送波の電力を直流電流に変換して直流電源を発生させているので商用電源や電池に比べて小さな電力となるが、FM波によって交信しているので、ある程度まで遠くに飛ばすことができる。さらに、FM波で交信しているので、雑音や混信が少なく正確な復調ができるので、案内装置としては好適である。   According to the guide device of the present invention, since the installation transceiver installed at a predetermined position where information should be provided can be made non-powered, the transceiver can be reduced in size, and installation work is facilitated. In addition, since information can be notified by voice and video from a portable transceiver carried by the person who receives the information, it does not surprise people who pass around and makes it difficult to hear different voices in duplicate. Nor. Moreover, since the power of the carrier wave is converted into a direct current to generate a direct current power, the power is smaller than that of a commercial power supply or a battery. However, since the communication is performed by FM waves, it can be distant to some extent. . Furthermore, since communication is performed using FM waves, accurate demodulation can be performed with less noise and interference, which is suitable as a guide device.

また、記憶部23には位置コードと共に、所定位置の情報を示す案内コードと複数の言語コードとが所定位置の情報として記憶されている。これにより、所定位置の情報が記号化されることから、設置用送受信機2から送信する情報量を少なくすることができ、また、複数の言語で所定位置の情報を提供できるようになる。   In addition to the position code, the storage unit 23 stores a guide code indicating information on a predetermined position and a plurality of language codes as information on the predetermined position. As a result, since the information on the predetermined position is symbolized, the amount of information transmitted from the installation transceiver 2 can be reduced, and the information on the predetermined position can be provided in a plurality of languages.

このような設置用送受信機2は、受信部21、復調部22、記憶部23、制御部24、変調部25、送信部26および電源部27がICチップ化され1つの回路基板にボンディングされてから樹脂封止されて成るものである。これにより、商用電源や電池を使用することなく設置用送受信機2を軽量小型化できるので、あらゆる所に簡単に設置することができる。   In such an installation transceiver 2, the receiving unit 21, the demodulating unit 22, the storage unit 23, the control unit 24, the modulating unit 25, the transmitting unit 26, and the power source unit 27 are integrated into an IC chip and bonded to one circuit board. And is sealed with resin. Thereby, since the installation transceiver 2 can be reduced in weight and size without using a commercial power source or a battery, it can be easily installed everywhere.

一方、携帯用送受信機3は、設置用送受信機2から送信されてきた応答用搬送波C2を受信する受信部31と、受信部31で受信された応答用搬送波C2から情報案内信号S2を復調する復調部32と、復調部32で復調された情報案内信号S2に基づき所定位置の情報データを出力し且つ所定位置の情報を確認する確認信号S1を出力する制御部34と、制御部34から出力された所定位置の情報データを音声に変換する音声変換部35と、制御部34から出力された確認信号S1を周波数変調する変調部36と、変調部36で確認信号S1を周波数変調した質問用搬送波C1を設置用送受信機2に送信する送信部37と、動作電源が必要な各部に電源を供給する電源部38とを備えている。   On the other hand, the portable transceiver 3 demodulates the information guide signal S2 from the receiver 31 that receives the response carrier C2 transmitted from the installation transceiver 2 and the response carrier C2 that is received by the receiver 31.

受信部31は電磁波のエネルギを吸収して電気回路のエネルギに変換する受信アンテナを備え、送信部37は電気回路のエネルギを電磁波のエネルギに変換して空間に放射する送信アンテナを備えているが、設置用送受信機2と同様に1つのアンテナで送受信させることもできる。   The reception unit 31 includes a reception antenna that absorbs electromagnetic wave energy and converts it into electric circuit energy, and the transmission unit 37 includes a transmission antenna that converts electric circuit energy into electromagnetic wave energy and radiates it into space. Similarly to the installation transceiver 2, it is possible to transmit and receive with one antenna.

制御部34は、設置用送受信機2から送信されてきた応答用搬送波C2を受信部31で受信して情報案内信号S2を復調部32で復調後、予め記憶部33に登録されている複数の異なる所定位置の情報データから情報案内信号S2に含まれる案内コードに合致する情報データを選択して出力する情報制御回路34aを備えている。また制御部34は、設置用送受信機2から送信されてきた応答用搬送波C2を受信部31で受信して情報案内信号S2を復調部32で復調後、情報案内信号S2に含まれる複数の言語コードから予め記憶部33に登録されている言語コードを選択して出力する言語制御回路34bを備えている。なお、記憶部33に登録される言語コードは、ディップスイッチ等や音声によって言語を切換えられる言語切換部39によって切換えることができる。さらに、制御部34は、設置用送受信機2から送信されてきた応答用搬送波C2を受信部31で受信して情報案内信号S2を復調部32で復調後、当該情報案内信号S2に含まれる位置コードを続けて認識した場合には、当該情報案内信号S2を読取拒否する機能を有する読取制御回路34cを備えている。これにより、設置用送受信機2が設置されている所定位置の情報を2度読みすることを防ぐことができる。   The control unit 34 receives the response carrier wave C2 transmitted from the installation transceiver 2 by the reception unit 31, demodulates the information guide signal S2 by the demodulation unit 32, and then stores a plurality of information registered in the storage unit 33 in advance. An information control circuit 34a is provided that selects and outputs information data that matches the guidance code included in the information guidance signal S2 from information data at different predetermined positions. The control unit 34 receives the response carrier wave C2 transmitted from the installation transceiver 2 by the receiving unit 31, demodulates the information guide signal S2 by the demodulation unit 32, and then includes a plurality of languages included in the information guide signal S2. A language control circuit 34b that selects and outputs a language code registered in advance in the storage unit 33 from the code is provided.

Further, the control unit 34 receives the response carrier wave C2 transmitted from the installation transceiver 2 by the receiving unit 31, demodulates the information guide signal S2 by the demodulation unit 32, and then includes the position included in the information guide signal S2. When the code is continuously recognized, a reading control circuit 34c having a function of refusing to read the information guidance signal S2 is provided. Thereby, it is possible to prevent the information at a predetermined position where the installation transceiver 2 is installed from being read twice.

音声変換部35は、情報制御回路34aから出力された情報データに基づく音声信号をスピーカに出力する情報音声変換回路35aを備えている。   The voice conversion unit 35 includes an information voice conversion circuit 35a that outputs a voice signal based on the information data output from the information control circuit 34a to a speaker.

また、携帯用送受信機3は、質問用搬送波C1を間欠送信する送信機能を有している。これにより、携帯用送受信機3から質問用搬送波C1が間欠送信されるので、携帯用送受信機3を携帯している人は、玄関、階段、交差点や、美術館における絵画等が近くにあることを誘導路や誘導ブロック等で確認しなくとも、目的地まで到達することができる。   The portable transceiver 3 has a transmission function for intermittently transmitting the interrogation carrier C1. As a result, the interrogation carrier wave C1 is intermittently transmitted from the portable transceiver 3, so that the person carrying the portable transceiver 3 is close to the entrance, stairs, intersections, paintings in the museum, etc. You can reach your destination without checking with taxiways or guide blocks.

なお、この携帯用送受信機3の電源部38は、携帯しなければならないので、一次電池や二次電池が用いられる。また、このような携帯用送受信機は、上記したような通信機能のみを有するものに限定されず、例えば携帯電話、トランシーバー、携帯ラジオ、携帯テレビなどの電波を通信手段とした携帯端末に、この通信機能を付加させたものでもよく、この場合、携帯電話、携帯テレビなどの報知手段は、音声のみだけではなく映像機能を付加したり、あるいは映像のみで報知したりすることができる。なお、上述した携帯用送受信機3においても、音声のみだけではなく映像機能を付加したり、あるいは映像のみで報知したりしてもよい。   Since the power supply unit 38 of the portable transceiver 3 must be carried, a primary battery or a secondary battery is used. Further, such a portable transceiver is not limited to the one having only the communication function as described above. For example, a portable terminal using radio waves as a communication means such as a cellular phone, a transceiver, a portable radio, a portable TV, etc. A communication function may be added, and in this case, notification means such as a mobile phone and a portable television can add not only audio but also a video function, or notify only by video. In the portable transceiver 3 described above, not only audio but also a video function may be added, or only video may be notified.

このように構成された案内装置1の設置用送受信機2は、搬送波の電力を直流電流に変換して直流電源を発生させているので商用電源や電池に比べて小さな電力となるが、FM波によって通信しているので、ある程度まで遠くに飛ばすことができる。また、設置用送受信機2および携帯用送受信機3のデータ通信で使用される周波数を30〜999MHzにすることによりFM波をある程度遠くに飛ばすことができ、好ましくは100〜999MHzにすることによりFM波をより遠く(6m前後)に飛ばすことができるようになる。特に周波数を322MHzにすれば、我国(日本国)の無線局の免許を受けずに通信距離を延ばすことが可能になる。なお、この周波数を422MHzにすれば、海外の無線局の免許を受けずに通信距離を延ばすことが可能になる。なお、このデータ通信においては、通信内容に応じて様々なデータ伝送方式、例えば誤り制御方式やスペクトラム拡散通信方式等を用いることができる。   The installation transmitter / receiver 2 of the guide device 1 configured as described above generates a DC power by converting the power of the carrier wave into a DC current, and thus the power is smaller than that of a commercial power supply or a battery. Because you are communicating by, you can fly far to a certain extent. Further, by setting the frequency used in the data communication of the installation transceiver 2 and the portable transceiver 3 to 30 to 999 MHz, the FM wave can be skipped to some extent, and preferably by setting the frequency to 100 to 999 MHz. Waves can be moved farther (around 6m). In particular, when the frequency is set to 322 MHz, it is possible to extend the communication distance without obtaining a license from a radio station in Japan (Japan). If this frequency is set to 422 MHz, the communication distance can be extended without obtaining a license from an overseas radio station. In this data communication, various data transmission methods such as an error control method and a spread spectrum communication method can be used depending on the communication contents.

次に、この案内装置1の動作について、図2に示すフローチャートを用いて説明する。なお、設置用送受信機2は階段St(図3)、バス停留所BS(図4)、信号機S(図5)、トイレのドアT(図6)、郵便ポストP(図7)等に設置されているものとし、設置用送受信機2の記憶部23には、例えば、日本語(コード200)、英語(コード201)、ドイツ語(コード202)、フランス語(コード203)、中国語(コード204)等の言語コードと、「階段があります(コードA00)」の案内コードと、「歩道橋です」という文字情報とが記憶されているものとする。また、携帯用送受信機3の記憶部33には、案内コードに対応した、例えば、コードA00の情報データ「階段があります」、コードA01の情報データ「券売機があります」、コードA02の情報データ「東京方面山の手線です」、コードA03の情報データ「郵便ポストあります」、コードA04の情報データ「トイレあります」が登録され、言語切換部39によって言語コードがコード200に選択されているものとする。   Next, operation | movement of this guidance apparatus 1 is demonstrated using the flowchart shown in FIG. The installation transceiver 2 is installed on the staircase St (FIG. 3), the bus stop BS (FIG. 4), the traffic light S (FIG. 5), the toilet door T (FIG. 6), the post box P (FIG. 7), etc. The storage unit 23 of the installation transceiver 2 includes, for example, Japanese (code 200), English (code 201), German (code 202), French (code 203), and Chinese (code 204). ) And the like, a guidance code “There is a staircase (code A00)”, and character information “It is a pedestrian bridge” are stored. Further, in the storage unit 33 of the portable transceiver 3, for example, the information data “Code is available” corresponding to the guide code, the information data “Code is available”, the information data “Code A01”, the information data “Code A02” It is assumed that the information data “There is a postbox” of the code A03, the information data “There is a toilet” of the code A04, and the language code is selected as the code 200 by the language switching unit 39.

このような状況において、携帯用送受信機3を携帯した人が、階段Stに設置された設置用送受信機2が受信可能な位置まで来ると、携帯用送受信機3から質問用搬送波C1が間欠送信されているので(ステップ101)、設置用送受信機2の受信部21はこの質問用搬送波C1を受信する(ステップ201)。受信部21で受信された質問用搬送波C1の電力は、電源発生回路を備えた電源部27で直流電流に変換され動作電源の必要な各部に電源として供給される。なお、通信時間は電源部27の時定数により定まる。電源が供給された復調部22は質問用搬送波C1から確認信号S1を復調し、制御部24に出力する。制御部24は、復調部22で復調された確認信号S1に基づき記憶部23に記憶された位置コードと共に、言語コード200、201、202、203、204、・・・と、案内コードA00と、「歩道橋です」という文字情報とを読み出して、情報案内信号S2として変調部25へ出力する(ステップ202)。変調部25はこの情報案内信号S2を周波数変調した応答用搬送波C2を送信部26へ出力するので、送信部26は応答用搬送波C2を携帯用送受信機3に送信する(ステップ203)。   In such a situation, when the person carrying the portable transceiver 3 comes to a position where the installation transceiver 2 installed on the stair St can receive, the interrogation carrier C1 is intermittently transmitted from the portable transceiver 3. (Step 101), the receiving unit 21 of the installation transceiver 2 receives the interrogation carrier C1 (Step 201). The power of the interrogating carrier wave C1 received by the receiving unit 21 is converted into a direct current by a power source unit 27 having a power generation circuit, and is supplied as power to each unit that requires an operating power source. The communication time is determined by the time constant of the power supply unit 27. The demodulating unit 22 supplied with power demodulates the confirmation signal S1 from the interrogating carrier wave C1 and outputs it to the control unit 24. The control unit 24, together with the position code stored in the storage unit 23 based on the confirmation signal S1 demodulated by the demodulation unit 22, language codes 200, 201, 202, 203, 204,..., A guide code A00, The text information “It is a pedestrian bridge” is read out and output to the modulation unit 25 as an information guide signal S2 (step 202). Since the modulation unit 25 outputs the response carrier wave C2 obtained by frequency-modulating the information guide signal S2 to the transmission unit 26, the transmission unit 26 transmits the response carrier wave C2 to the portable transceiver 3 (step 203).

設置用送受信機2から送信された応答用搬送波C2を、携帯用送受信機3の受信部31で受信し(ステップ102)、復調部32で応答用搬送波C2から情報案内信号S2を復調して制御部34へ出力する。制御部34は、情報案内信号S2に含まれる位置コードを確認するが(ステップ103)、この同じ位置コードを続けて認識した場合には読取制御回路34cによって情報案内信号S2を読取拒否する(ステップ104)。読取制御回路34cで位置コードを確認後、言語制御回路34bによって情報案内信号S2に含まれる言語コード200、201、202、203、204、・・・から、予め記憶部33に登録されている言語コード200を選択して出力し(ステップ105)、且つ情報制御回路34aによって予め記憶部33に登録されている情報データA00、A01、A02、A03、A04から情報案内信号S2に含まれる案内コードA00に合致する情報データ「階段があります」を選択して出力する(ステップ106)。なお、情報案内信号S2に案内コードが含まれていない場合には、案内コードの選択は行わず、文字情報だけを出力する。   The response carrier C2 transmitted from the installation transceiver 2 is received by the receiver 31 of the portable transceiver 3 (step 102), and the information guide signal S2 is demodulated and controlled by the demodulator 32 from the response carrier C2. To the unit 34. The control unit 34 checks the position code included in the information guidance signal S2 (step 103). If the same position code is continuously recognized, the reading control circuit 34c rejects the information guidance signal S2 (step 103). 104). After confirming the position code by the reading control circuit 34c, the language control circuit 34b uses the language codes 200, 201, 202, 203, 204,... The code 200 is selected and output (step 105), and the information code A00 included in the information guide signal S2 from the information data A00, A01, A02, A03, A04 registered in advance in the storage unit 33 by the information control circuit 34a. Is selected and outputted (step 106). When the information guide signal S2 does not include a guide code, the guide code is not selected and only character information is output.

このようにして、言語コード200と、情報データ「階段があります」とが選択されると、制御部34は言語コード200および情報データ「階段があります」と共に「歩道橋です」という文字情報を音声変換部35aに出力する(ステップ107)。音声変換部35は、情報音声変換回路35aにより、選択された言語コード200に対応する日本語で、「階段があります」、「歩道橋です」の音声信号に変換してスピ−カに出力する(ステップ108、109)。これにより、人が携帯している携帯用送受信機3から、「階段があります」、「歩道橋です」という音声情報を提供できるようになる。   In this way, when the language code 200 and the information data “There is a staircase” are selected, the control unit 34 converts the text information “is a pedestrian bridge” together with the language code 200 and the information data “there is a staircase” into speech. It outputs to the part 35a (step 107). The voice conversion unit 35 converts the voice signal “There is a staircase” and “It is a pedestrian bridge” into Japanese corresponding to the selected language code 200 by the information voice conversion circuit 35a and outputs the voice signal to the speaker ( Steps 108 and 109). As a result, it is possible to provide audio information such as “There is a staircase” and “It is a pedestrian bridge” from the portable transceiver 3 carried by a person.

また、この案内装置1は、携帯用送受信機3を携帯した人が、バス停留所BS、信号機S、トイレのドアTあるいは郵便ポストPに設置された設置用送受信機2が受信可能な位置まで来ると、携帯用送受信機3から、各設置個所に応じた音声情報を出力させることができる。したがって、1つの携帯用送受信機3から、各設置個所に応じた音声情報を出力させることができるので、盲人用、高齢者用、心身耗弱者用、駅案内用、水族館案内用、映画館案内用あるいは各場所の非常案内用として用いることができる。   In addition, the guide device 1 comes to a position where the person carrying the portable transceiver 3 can receive the installation transceiver 2 installed at the bus stop BS, the traffic light S, the toilet door T or the post box P. From the portable transceiver 3, audio information corresponding to each installation location can be output. Therefore, since one portable transmitter / receiver 3 can output audio information corresponding to each installation location, it is for blind people, for elderly people, for those with poor physical and mental wear, for station guidance, for aquarium guidance, for movie theater guidance. It can be used as an emergency guide for each place.

なお、上述した本発明の実施の形態例においては、案内装置を構成する設置用送受信機の電源部に商用電源に接続可能な接続手段を備えてもよい。このような接続手段としては、端子、コネクタ等が好適である。これにより、無線通信するデータ量に応じて商用電源に接続することができるので、消費電力が多くなるデータ容量の多い無線通信にも対応できるようになる。   In the above-described embodiment of the present invention, the power supply unit of the installation transceiver that constitutes the guide device may be provided with connection means that can be connected to a commercial power supply. As such a connection means, a terminal, a connector, etc. are suitable. Thereby, since it can connect with a commercial power supply according to the data amount which carries out radio | wireless communication, it comes to be able to respond also to radio | wireless communication with much data capacity which increases power consumption.
