摘要

The present invention relates to an electronic walking cane for the visually impaired which is adapted with an RFID reader to wirelessly detect RFID tags which are positioned as guides along footpaths with Braille blocks having embedded RFID tags. The electronic cane is configured with an electrical cable which does not twist and which is foldable such that the electric cable or cable welding portion does not disconnect even if it is folded into a bag for easy portability.
