盲人導引裝置Blind guide

本發明涉及一種盲人導引裝置,尤指一種利用無線傳輸技術結合導盲裝置及耳機,可提供盲人道路資訊之盲人導引裝置。The invention relates to a blind guiding device, in particular to a blind guiding device capable of providing blind road information by using wireless transmission technology combined with a guiding device and an earphone.

近年來,隨著科技的進步與人文的高度發展,人們越來越重視社會福利,如何讓行動不便者有更便利的社會,已成為越來越重要的課題。視障者為例,導盲設施的完備,對於盲人行動的便捷性有莫大的助益,而以往的導盲磚已漸漸被淘汰,其原因在於,最新之視障導引觀念已不再視導盲磚為唯一的導引工具,視障同胞多未完全喪失視覺功能,他們需要的是平整舒適的人行道及能清楚辨別人行道之所在;對於全盲盲胞,帶狀且通暢無阻的行走空間即是最好的方向導引,而人行道上凹凸不平的導盲磚反而易對肢障者產生行走障礙。In recent years, with the advancement of science and technology and the high development of humanities, people are paying more and more attention to social welfare. How to make people with reduced mobility have more convenient society has become an increasingly important issue. For visually impaired people, the completeness of blinding facilities is of great help to the convenience of blind people. The blind guide bricks have gradually been eliminated. The reason is that the latest visually impaired guidance concept is no longer seen. Guide blind brick is the only guiding tool. The visually impaired compatriots do not completely lose their visual function. They need a flat and comfortable sidewalk and can clearly distinguish the other sidewalks. For the blind all blind cells, the belt-shaped and unobstructed walking space is It is the best direction guide, and the bumpy guide bricks on the sidewalks are more likely to cause walking obstacles for the disabled.

而其他常見的導盲裝置皆有諸多缺點,傳統導盲杖只可探觸身前不遠處地面之障礙物;導盲犬雖可與視障者做些許互動,但其飼養成本較高,非一般人可負擔。其他常見電子導盲裝置,如利用預建地標配合語音回報系統,雖較過去導盲裝置更為便利,但都無法對路況作即時的分析回報。Other common blinding devices have many shortcomings. The traditional guiding can only detect obstacles on the ground not far from the front; although the guide dogs can interact with the visually impaired, the feeding cost is high. Not affordable for the average person. Other common electronic guide blind devices, such as the use of pre-built landmarks with voice feedback systems, are more convenient than the previous guide blind devices, but they are unable to provide immediate analysis and analysis of road conditions.

又如具有偵測環境並提示障礙物功能之電子導盲輔助器,利用全球定位系統配合語音系統,以告知視障者路況等。然而,由於必須囊括多種技術於導盲輔助器,而使得高功能的電子導輔助器杖價格昂貴,並且體積龐大,電力消耗大,並不符合視障者的需求。Another example is an electronic guide blind assister that detects the environment and prompts the function of the obstacle. The global positioning system is used in conjunction with the voice system to inform the visually impaired of the road conditions. However, due to the need to include a variety of techniques for the guide aid, the high-function electronic guide aid is expensive, bulky, and power intensive, and does not meet the needs of the visually impaired.

是以,設計一種盲人導引裝置,可針對路況作即時的分析回報,並且減少視障者的經濟負擔,容易執行且輕便易攜帶的導盲系統,乃為本技術領域人士積極解決的議題之一。Therefore, designing a blind guiding device, which can provide immediate analysis and return for road conditions, and reduce the economic burden of visually impaired persons, is easy to implement and light and easy to carry, and is a problem actively solved by those skilled in the art.
