Description

Audio remote control for the blind

The present invention relates to an audio system, and more particularly to an audio remote control for the visually impaired.

Audible systems, such as audio players, can also be used by the visually impaired. However, the current audio system has a control panel which is very inconvenient for the visually impaired to operate. In other words, the various keys (buttons) for operation are only displayed for the key (buttons) character that can only be seen by a person with normal vision.

Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide a remote control for the visually impaired in the audio system.

According to the above object, the present invention is characterized in that, in the remote control of the audio system, the braille indicating the button use is engraved on the button of the remote control.

The present invention also has a switch for preventing a malfunction on the remote control to inscribe a braille indicating the button use on the button of the remote control, to generate a malfunction of the remote control that can occur when the visually impaired person touch the button to decipher the braille. It is characterized by.

1 is a front view and a right side view of a remote controller for explaining an embodiment of the present invention.

Figure 2 is a block diagram of a remote control according to an embodiment of the present invention.

Hereinafter, exemplary embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be noted that the same elements in the figures are denoted by the same numerals wherever possible. In addition, detailed descriptions of well-known functions and configurations that may unnecessarily obscure the subject matter of the present invention will be omitted.

1 is a front view and a right side view of a remote controller for explaining an embodiment of the present invention. In the embodiment of the present invention, as shown in Figure 1, on the button 4 of the remote control inscribed in braille 6 indicating the purpose of the button, the visually impaired when the user touches the button 6 to decipher the braille 6 The remote control is provided with a lock switch button 2 to prevent a malfunction. The braille 6 engraved on the button 4 is preferably convex. Lock switch button 2 is located on the side of the remote control according to an embodiment of the present invention, it is preferable that the braille 6 to display the lock switch on the lock switch button 2 is engraved. The position of the lock switch button 2 according to the embodiment of the present invention is set to the side as shown in Figure 1, but may be determined in various ways, such as the front, rear as needed. In addition, the lock switch button 2 is implemented as a separate switch, but may be implemented as a conventional button without having a separate switch.

2 is a block diagram of a remote controller according to an embodiment of the present invention. The remote controller according to the embodiment of the present invention includes a key input unit 10, a modulator 12, an infrared light emitting unit 14, a power supply unit 16, and a lock switch 18. The key input unit 10 further includes a lock switch button 2 as mentioned in FIG. 1, and each button is embossed with Braille 6 indicating a button use for the visually impaired as shown in FIG. 1.

Now visually impaired audio users can know the use of each button as braille inscribed on the remote control. If the lock switch button 2 is pressed, the corresponding lock switching signal LOCK_SW is applied to the switch 18. Lock switch 18 is then off. As a result, the power of the power supply unit 16 is not supplied to the modulation unit 12 and the infrared light emitting unit 14. Therefore, the remote control does not work. When the remote control does not work, the visually impaired audio user recognizes the function of each button through Braille 6 on the various buttons. Then, a visually impaired audio user presses the lock switch button 2 again to turn the lock switch 18 on. As a result, the power of the power supply unit 16 is supplied to the modulation unit 12 and the infrared light emitting unit 14. In this state, when the user presses the desired button, the corresponding key signal is modulated by the modulator 12 and emitted by the infrared emitter 14 in the form of infrared rays, and transmitted to the main body of the audio system. Accordingly, the audio system performs a function of the user's desired operation.

In the above description, the visually impaired audio user confirms the use of the button after pressing the lock switch button 2, but the use of the button can be confirmed without doing so. For example, the purpose of the button can be checked without turning on the power of the remote controller. In addition, you can check the braille on the buttons with a slight touch on each button while the remote is on.

Although the present invention has described the remote control of the audio, it can be applied to a telephone for the visually impaired. In other words, the phone number buttons can also be engraved braille for each phone number. Therefore, in the above description of the present invention, specific embodiments have been described, but various modifications can be made without departing from the scope of the present invention. Therefore, the scope of the present invention is not to be determined by the embodiments described, but should be determined by the equivalent of the utility model registration claims and the utility model registration claims.

As described above, the present invention has an advantage of making the audio system easy to operate even by visually impaired users by placing a braille indicating a button use on a button of an audio remote controller.
