Abstract

The present invention relates to a braille sidewalk and cane for a visually impaired person, and more specifically, to an apparatus for maximizing safety and convenience when a visually impaired person crosses a crosswalk by interaction using techniques of a traffic light, braille sidewalk, Bluetooth of a cane for a visually impaired person, and electronic identification (RFID). To this end, a sensor and a voice guidance speaker are mounted on the cane for a visually impaired person, and an IC chip is mounted on a lower portion of the braille sidewalk, thereby solving problems that a conventional acoustic signal for a visually impaired person is not commercialized due to low practicality thereof induced by inconvenience of using and a risk of safety accident.

Description

시각 장애인용 점자 보도블록 및 지팡이{braille sidewalks and cane for the visually impaired}Braille sidewalks and canes for the visually impaired Braille sidewalks and canes for the visually impaired

본 발명은 보도블록 및 지팡이에 관한 것인데, 상세하게는 횡단보도를 건너는 시각 장애인들이 불편을 겪는 일을 미리 방지하기 위해 점자 보도블록과 시각 장애인용 지팡이와의 상호 작용으로 횡단보도를 건널 때 안전과 편의를 주는 장치에 관한 것이다.The present invention relates to a walkway block and a cane. Specifically, in order to prevent a blind person crossing a crosswalk from being disturbed in advance, The present invention relates to a device for providing convenience.

일반적으로, 기존의 점자 보도블록이 차량 진입 등으로 파손되고, 설치한 지 오랜 세월이 흘러 훼손된 곳이 많고, 지하철 승강장 같은 경우 점자블록이 통일되지 않아 혼란스럽고, 기존의 음향신호기는 시각 장애인 혼자 사용하기가 불편한 점이 많아 그다지 상용화되지가 않았고, 점자블록의 유도블록의 방향이 횡단보도가 아닌 차도를 가리켜 보행안전에 위협을 주기도 하고, 원래 점자블록이 있어야 할 자리에 맨홀이 있거나 차량이 주정차되어 있는 경우가 상당해 시각 장애인의 안전과 편의에 대한 문제점이 있었다.Generally, the existing braille walk block is damaged due to vehicle entry, and many places that have been installed have been damaged and many places have been damaged. In the case of the subway platform, the braille blocks are not unified and the conventional acoustic signal is used alone The direction of the guidance block of the braille block is not a crosswalk but a threat to the safety of walking, and there is a manhole in the place where the original braille block should be located, or a vehicle is parked There was a problem in the safety and convenience of the visually impaired.

따라서, 본 발명은 상기와 같은 문제점을 해결하기 위한 것으로, 점자 보도블록 하부에 IC칩을 부착하여, 신호등의 정보를 블루투스로 IC칩으로 전달한 후, 지팡이의 센서가 점자블록 하부의 IC칩을 전자식별(RFID)의 원리로 인식하면, 센서가 그 정보를 지팡이의 음성 안내 시스템에 다시 블루루스를 이용하여 연결시켜 시각 장애인에게 음성 안내를 해 주는 것으로, 안전성과 편의성을 증진시키는 것을 주 목적으로 한다.SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION Accordingly, the present invention has been made to solve the above problems, and it is an object of the present invention to provide an IC chip, When it is recognized as the principle of identification (RFID), the main purpose is to improve safety and convenience by connecting the information to the voice guidance system of the stick by using the Bluetooth loop to connect the visually impaired person with voice guidance .

본 발명에 의한 장치는 이러한 목적을 달성하기 위하여, 앞에서 상술되어진 바로, 신호등, 점자 보도블럭 및 시각 장애인 지팡이 간의 상호 작용을 블루투스와 전자식별(RFID)의 원리로 활용하게 되는 것이다.In order to achieve this object, the apparatus according to the present invention utilizes the interaction between a traffic light, a braille sidewalk block and a visually handicapped staff as a principle of Bluetooth and electronic identification (RFID) as described above.

또한, 본 발명에 따르면 되도록 점자 보도블럭 하부에 IC칩을 위치함으로서 많은 보도블럭을 뜯어내지 않아도 되어 비용이 절감되어 실용성이 극대화된다.In addition, according to the present invention, since the IC chip is positioned below the braille sidewalk block, many sidewalk blocks are not required to be torn, thereby reducing cost and maximizing practicality.

이상과 같이 본 발명에 의하면, 시각 장애인용 점자보도블록 및 지팡이는 시각 장애인들로 하여금 보다 안전하고 편리하게 횡단보도를 건널 수 있게 해, 사회적 소수자이자 약자인 시각 장애인들을 배려하는 차원에서도 큰 의미가 있는 발명이 될 것이다. 또한, 시각 장애인들을 배려해 주는 것 등에 비롯되어 나아가 궁극적으로 우리 나라의 시민 의식 성장에도 크게 한몫 할 것이다.As described above, according to the present invention, a braille display block and a cane for a visually impaired person can make a crosswalk report safer and more convenient for a visually impaired person, and it is meaningful even in consideration of a social minority and an abbreviated visually impaired person It will be an invention. It will also contribute to the consideration of the visually impaired, and ultimately to the growth of citizens' consciousness in our country.
