This applies primarily to the visually impaired and other passengers with limited mobility, who, due to their disabilities and / or age, require informational support and at the same time belong to the most dangerous risk group when contracting such infections.

The invention relates to technologies and means that give passengers of public transport the ability to replace / supplement visual and / or replace direct speech perception with auditory perception from a wearable individual device of information about a number of public transport vehicles and sound locating of the selected vehicle.

To assess the novelty of the claimed solution, let us consider a number of known technical means of a similar purpose, characterized by a set of features similar to the claimed device.

A known method of informing disabled people about arriving at a stop of public transport vehicles, increasing the safety of disabled people when boarding a vehicle and a system for its implementation according to RF patent No. 2573534. This method of informing disabled people about public transport vehicles arriving at a stop is implemented using radio modules installed on vehicles, driver consoles and sound emitters, as well as subscriber devices worn by disabled people, according to which the disabled subscriber's subscriber device automatically transmits a request signal containing personal data of this subscriber to the radio. device, after which the radio module of each vehicle that is currently in the coverage area of the subscriber device, upon receipt of the request signal, transmits to the radio air, with a random delay, a response to the received request signal containing the personal data of this radio module, while the subscriber device alternately receives and stores responses received from all radio modules that are currently in the coverage area of this subscriber unit, while the subscriber unit automatically sends a request signal for the transmission of radio information the vehicle module, the response from which was first received, which, upon receipt of this request signal for information transmission, transmits a message about the vehicle on which it is installed to the radio air, and the subscriber unit reproduces the information received from this radio module in the form of audible repeated messages, after which if there is no need for a disabled person in this vehicle, his subscriber device, upon the command of the disabled person, sends a request signal for the transfer of information to the vehicle radio module, the response from which was received by the second, which, upon receipt of this request signal for the transfer of information, transmits a message about the vehicle to the radio air, on which it is installed, and the subscriber device reproduces the information received from this radio module in the form of audible repetitive messages, moreover, these messages are transmitted alternately by the commands of the disabled person to all radio modules that are currently in the coverage area of this about the subscriber device, as well as the reception and reproduction of information received from them, until the disabled person chooses the vehicle he needs, after which the subscriber device, at the command of the disabled person, sends a special landing signal on the radio, after which the radio module selected by the disabled person vehicle transmits a special signal to the driver's console, while on the driver's console, upon receipt of this signal, information about the landing of a disabled person is displayed, and after opening the doors of the vehicle, the radio module automatically transmits into the radio air the permission to board the vehicle received and reproduced by the subscriber device of the disabled person and sends a command to a sound emitter installed on the vehicle, which reproduces an orientation sound signal, according to which the disabled person determines the necessary direction of movement to the open door of the vehicle. At the same time, the message about the vehicle transmitted by the radio module in response to the signal of the request for information transfer contains, in the form of codes, the current route number of the vehicle and the current generalized direction of its movement (Forward or Backward), in accordance with the data of the route network of the city or region as well as the state of the vehicle doors (closed or open). The number of the current route of the vehicle and the current generalized direction of travel are entered or changed by the driver of the vehicle on the driver's console, and are automatically transmitted to the radio module. The vehicle's current route number and the current direction of travel can also be automatically received by the vehicle's radio module from the external on-board system, if available. Landing signals from subscriber devices and signals transmitted by the radio module to the driver's console are divided into groups corresponding to various types of nosology, while on the driver's console, upon receipt of a signal, they display information about the landing of a disabled person with the corresponding type of disabled person's nosology.

The system that implements this known method contains a radio module, a driver's console and a sound emitter installed on each vehicle and connected to each other, as well as a set of wearable subscriber devices in the hands of disabled people, while each radio module includes a formation, storage and transmission unit information, a unit for receiving, processing and storing information, a unit for storing and transmitting an orientation sound signal, a unit for storing and transmitting a signal to the driver's console, as well as a radio antenna and a transceiver, while the driver's console includes a unit for receiving signals from a radio module and an information display unit, each the wearable subscriber device includes a unit for receiving, processing and storing information, a unit for converting the received digital information into analog voice messages and storing them, a unit for generating and transmitting a special request signal for an orientation sound signal, means for reproducing speech information, a tactile unit, as well as a radio antenna and a transceiver.

The declared system can be implemented using any mobile device with the Talking City application installed. It significantly increases the safety of a passenger with limited mobility, a disabled person, since it provides for the transmission to the driver's console of a special signal and display of information about the landing of a passenger with limited mobility, who, after opening the vehicle doors, receives a permission to enter the vehicle reproduced by his wearable device and hears the sound installed on the vehicle doors. a beacon, at the signal of which the low-mobility passenger determines the required direction of movement to the open door of the vehicle.

This technical solution, as the closest to the one declared in terms of the technical essence and the achieved result, was adopted as its prototype.

The main disadvantage of this known method is that part of the information about vehicles is obtained by the user from the radio transceiver in the form of codes, but in order to obtain complete information about the desired vehicle, the passenger must give a command from his user device and connect to the radio transceiver via a different communication channel for downloading the message about the final destination, which is essential for understanding the need for this vehicle. Informing the vehicle driver was also carried out with this connection. All these operations took passengers time. As a result, the passenger, not having time to obtain the necessary information, is forced to seek informational help from bystanders, which in a difficult epidemiological situation significantly increases the risk of contracting infections transmitted by airborne droplets. The driver of the vehicle needed by the passenger also received delayed information about the passenger, including the one with limited mobility, who was waiting for him at the bus stop, and the activation of the sound signal above the vehicle door open for boarding was also delayed for the passenger to locate the desired vehicle and, accordingly, the time the vehicle was means at the bus stop.

The objective of the claimed invention is to create a technology for accelerating the receipt by a passenger when he is at a bus stop of information about vehicles from an individual wearable device, and thereby excluding direct speech contacts with strangers to obtain such information, which reduces the spread of coronavirus and other infections transmitted by airborne droplets. by. This is especially important for the visually impaired, since, when moving independently in urban conditions, they cannot receive the above information visually.
