Description

A unit readout device for matching the writing direction and reading direction of Braille and a pointer device including the same {BRAILLE UNIT DEVICE FOR MATCHING WRITING DIRECTION WITH READING DIRECTION OF BRAILLE AND BRAILLE DEVICE INCLUDING THE SAME}

The present invention relates to a unit divination device for matching the writing direction and reading direction of Braille and a divination device including the same.

Braille is a writing system that is written by protruding dots of a certain shape on the page so that the visually impaired can identify them, and is identified by reading the protruding part of the page with the back of the hand. Household tools that visually impaired people can use to write Braille include bulletin boards, fortune-tellers, and fortune-telling pens, and fortune-telling is commonly used as a general term for both fortune-telling boards and fortune-tellers. Conventionally, paper is inserted between a pointer that divides the area corresponding to each Braille to make it easier to input Braille, and a pointer with grooves formed on the plurality of dots included in each Braille, and then used as a pointer. Standard boards, which engrave Braille by applying pressure to individual grooves on paper, are widely used, and portable pointers, which are made up of an integrated pointer and pointer, and note-type points, which can be used on both sides by inserting them into a notebook, are also used. In the following description, the standard scoreboard, the congregation scoreboard, and the note-type scoreboard will be collectively referred to as conventional scoreboard devices.

However, due to its structure, the conventional braille device requires applying pressure to the back of the paper with a pointer to dent the portion corresponding to each dot, then flipping the paper over to read the protruding braille, making it difficult for a visually impaired person to read the braille when writing it. There is a difficulty in having to input with the direction reversed from left to right. A method of writing Braille using such a conventional braille device will be described with reference to FIGS. 1A and 1B as follows.

Figure 1a shows a method of inputting Braille on the back of paper 13 using a conventional point-in-time device 10, and Figure 1b shows Braille that must be considered when writing Braille using a conventional point-in-time device 10. It schematically shows the standards for symmetry in the writing and reading directions. The black circle shown in FIG. 1B is the area where pressure was applied using a point pen and corresponds to the area of the paper 13 that is protruding or depressed, and the white circle is the area of the paper 13 that is flat because no pressure is applied. ) is the area corresponding to.

First, looking at FIG. 1A, in order to input Braille on paper 13 using a conventional pointer device 10, a pointer 11, a pointer 12, paper 13, and each groove 15 are A dug-out slate (14) is required.

Specifically, Braille is made by inserting paper 13 between the point tube 12 and the point board 14, and then inserting the tip of the pointer 11 into the hole formed in the point tube 12 to the point board 14. It can be seen that as each groove 15 is pressed, the paper 13 is pushed and depressed according to the shape of the groove 15. At this time, the braille reader identifies the braille by touching the protruding dot portion of the braille shown as a black circle, so when writing braille, the shape of the braille that will ultimately protrude on the front of the paper 130 is input according to the left-right reversed arrangement. You have to take into account the fact that you have to do it.

Specifically, referring to (a) of FIG. 1B, in order to engrave a plurality of dots corresponding to Braille letters ㄱ, ㄴ, and ㄷ on paper 13, respectively, the Braille letters ㄱ, ㄴ, and ㄷ are based on the reference line in the exact center. After writing the braille in the arrangement shown in (b) of Figure 1b with the left and right reversed, the paper 13 must be turned over to read each of the braille letters ㄱ, ㄴ, and ㄷ normally.

As such, due to the inconsistency between the writing direction and reading direction of Braille, Braille writing education is not easily implemented, and it takes a lot of money and time to educate blind people who have lost all of their vision to write Braille. It is happening. In addition, there is a problem in that Braille typewriters that can easily input Braille are not easily distributed because they are expensive, and due to the above-mentioned problems, the Braille illiteracy rate of the visually impaired worldwide remains at the 95% level.

Furthermore, since the conventional point tube device 10 must be input by applying pressure by pressing the groove 15 formed in the pointer 14 exactly vertically in order to write Braille, the vertical movement of the pointer 11 is physically performed. Disabled people and the elderly, who find it difficult to implement, are experiencing significant difficulties writing Braille.

Therefore, as described above, a new alternative that can improve the problems of the conventional viscometer device 10 is needed.

The purpose of the present invention is to solve all of the above-mentioned problems.
