Description

Transportation facility location notification service provision system and transportation facility location notification service provision method using the same {Transportation facility location notification service provision system and transportation facility location notification service provision method using the same}

The present invention relates to a method for providing a traffic facility location notification service, and more particularly, to a traffic facility location notification capable of guiding the location of a traffic facility including a traffic light to a visually impaired person having difficulty securing a view based on keyword information having a simple format. It is about how to provide services.

Welfare facilities for the visually impaired, which are gradually increasing, are a reality that is currently increasing dependently. In particular, in terms of engineering, devices and systems that can help the visually impaired in their daily lives are diversifying.

Among the above-mentioned assistance systems for the visually impaired, a traffic light guidance system may be adopted as a representative example. Traffic lights that establish a traffic system using visual signals provide inconvenience to the visually impaired. To this end, a system for transmitting an acoustic signal related to the current state of a pedestrian traffic light and the entry into a walkable signal state has been developed and commercialized.

However, the existing acoustic guidance system is a system in which a sound output is activated only when the blind person finds and presses a button, which causes inconvenience to the visually impaired person who cannot secure a forward view. Normally, buttons are installed on the outer periphery of the pillars of pedestrian traffic lights, but there are many areas where obstacles such as garbage cans and flower beds are placed next to traffic lights, increasing the risk of safety accidents for those who have difficulty securing visibility. In other words, an ironic situation in which a safety accident occurs while trying to use a guidance system for safe walking often occurs.

In order to solve the above problems, Korean Patent Publication No. 10-2015-0093000 describes a sound signal guidance device for the visually impaired using RFID. In order to receive information as sound from the sound signal installed on the support of the crosswalk pedestrian traffic light, the blind person activates the sound signal with a remote control carried.

However, the above technology is a communication method using RFID, and may be subject to restrictions on the distance between the remote control and the acoustic signal.

There is an active RFID method with a wide recognition range, but it requires a power supply unit of its own to the remote controller that transmits the signal to the acoustic signal. That is, in a method using a battery, a problem in that the product does not operate when the amount of power of the battery is exhausted is caused.

Korean Patent Publication No. 10-2015-0093000
