Pedestrian e.g. blind, guiding system for metro station, has mobile phone including application to calculate message from identifier, another identifier received before former identifier, destination and database stored in local memory

摘要

#CMT# #/CMT# The system has markers placed near special points of a traffic network and each with an emitter transmitting a single identifier of the marker from a memory to a mobile phone (2). The phone has an application to store a destination and calculate an information message from the identifier, another identifier received before the former identifier, the destination and a database stored in a local memory. The database comprises different information parameters for bifurcations associated to one of the points, where one of the parameters is selected by the application based on the destination. #CMT# : #/CMT# The markers are of Bluetooth electronic chips and operate via batteries. The application is developed under Symbian operating system(RTM: Open standard operating system for data enabled mobile phones). #CMT#USE : #/CMT# Used for guiding a pedestrian e.g. blind, partially sighted person or tourist, from a metro station to his/her final destination by transmitting a visual symbol or voice message to a mobile phone (claimed) of the pedestrian. #CMT#ADVANTAGE : #/CMT# The application calculates a path to be indicated to the pedestrian in real time, thus ensuring a better guidance to the pedestrian such as blind, from the metro station to his/her final destination in a simple and comfortable manner, while requiring limited memory resources, and hence improving the autonomy of the pedestrian. The markers consume less energy for their operation in order to ensure a satisfactory life duration. #CMT#DESCRIPTION OF DRAWINGS : #/CMT# The drawing shows a functional diagram of a pedestrian guiding system.`(Drawing includes non-English language text)` 2 : Mobile phone.
