发明名称 METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR AUTONOMOUS TEACHING OF BRAILLE
摘要 The present invention is a method and system for autonomous learning of Braille by an unsighted user. The system allows the unsighted user to pass a card over an RFID reader so as to trigger an audible response that is indicative of an indicia (Braille word or character) embossed on the card. The embossed card further comprises an RFID tag and a series of raised indicia surfaces representative of a Braille-based word or character. The tag transmits a signal of a function to be performed including one of an erase and a record instruction to associate or dissociate a function to be performed including one of an erase instruction and a record instruction.

主权项 1. A method for autonomous learning of Braille, by an unsighted user utilizing a micro-controller based system, said method further comprising the steps of: (a) activating said micro-controller-based system; (b) selecting an embossed card from among a plurality of embossed tags, said embossed card further comprising: (i) a series of raised surfaces, wherein said series of raised indicia surfaces is representative of a Braille-based word or character, and(ii) an RFID tag which is configured to transmit a signal indicative of a function to be performed, the function including one of an erase instruction and a record instruction, wherein the record instruction associates an audio input with the embossed card and the erase instruction disassociates the audio input with the embossed card; (c) passing said embossed card over an RFID reader of said micro-controller-based system, said passing step causing said RFID tag to be read by said reader; (d) transmitting said reading as a coded signal from said reader to said micro-controller, (e) converting by said micro-controller, under control of a Braille application, said coded signal to an audible tone; (f) transmitting said audible tone through an audio output device for reception by said unsighted system user; and (g) integrating, at said micro-controller-based system, an interface port, wherein said interface port enables flashing of a set of firmware and enables downloading a set of new audible tone files into a database of said micro-controller-based system, wherein the plurality of embossed tags is expandable to include user created tags that are assignable to correspond to at least one of the new audible tone files.
