Systems, Methods and Software for Redirecting Blind Travelers Using Dynamic Wayfinding Orientation and Wayfinding Data

摘要

A wayfinding system includes a server configured to deliver navigational information associated with a route to user devices which output the navigational information to blind or low vision users in their preferred output format. That navigation information can be augmented by additional navigation information that is delivered in real time to the blind or low vision users as a result of receiving signals from proximity beacons associated with the wayfinding system.

主权项

1. A method for aiding a blind or low vision traveler to navigate through a predetermined area, the method comprising:
providing, from a user access device carried by the blind or low vision traveler, a set of baseline navigation instructions for traversing the predetermined area; and outputting, from the user access device carried by the blind or low vision traveler, additional navigational guidance information when the blind or low vision traveler is close enough to a proximity beacon to receive its signal.
