Description of the Invention: [Technical Field] The present invention relates to a blind guiding device incorporating a positioning system, and more particularly to an automatic guiding device combining a satellite positioning (GPS) system and a power roller. [Prior Art] Most of the front blind guides are passive guides, and the form is mostly when the blind person walks to a position with a detector (such as a magnetic sensor or an RFID reader), the blind guide device provides Guide the message. However, this kind of passive guidance can't effectively help the blind person to advance to a destination. Moreover, the location of the detector is mostly a guide brick, and the location of the guide blind often has obstructions, such as being occupied by a car. Once the blind guiding device is unable to sense with the detector, a pilot signal is generated. In addition, a kind of talking electronic cane means that a cane can speak directly to the blind person, walking the road, going up and down the stairs, warning of dangerous depressions, and hearings of blind people falling over and calling. However, for users with far-reaching destinations, there are still many missing ones. In view of the problems of the prior art, in order to be able to solve the problem, the inventors have based on years of research and development and a number of practical blind-guide devices that combine positioning systems, as an implementation and basis for improving the upper=point. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION In view of the above, it is an object of the present invention to provide a blind guiding device having a combined positioning system with a main guiding function to improve the convenience of use of the blind guiding device. 5 200913981 In accordance with the purpose of the present invention, a blind guide device incorporating a positioning system is proposed. The utility model comprises an input unit, a satellite navigation module, a power roller module and a power supply unit. The input unit provides a device for inputting a destination, and the satellite navigation module includes a satellite signal receiving unit, a map database and a navigation route guiding unit, and the satellite signal receiving unit provides location information of the user, and navigation The route refers to the unit to calculate a travel route based on the location information, the map database, and the destination. The power roller module generates a moving power corresponding to the traveling route according to the satellite navigation module, and the power supply unit is configured to provide the electric blind guiding device. According to the present invention, the blind guiding device having the combined positioning system with kinetic energy charging function has the following advantages: (1) The blind guiding device combined with the positioning system can be performed by voice or braille Input, thereby improving the convenience of the blind person using the blind guiding device of the combined positioning system; and (2) the blind guiding device combined with the positioning system can perform route planning by using a satellite navigation (GPS) module It can solve the problem that the traditional blind guiding device is guided because the detector signal cannot be obtained.
