Problems solved by technology

It can be seen that the current navigation method can only detect the obstacle directly in front of the blind person, but cannot detect the obstacle in front of the left or right of the blind person; in addition, the current detection method can only roughly detect the distance of the obstacle, but cannot detect The direction of the obstacle, and the simple feedback through the sound signal is easily affected by the noise of the surrounding environment

Embodiment Construction

[0035] The solution of the present invention will be described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0036]The obstacle-avoiding navigation method for the blind providing precise feedback on the distance and direction of obstacles provided by this embodiment is applied to the crutch 3 for the blind. The method includes setting a signal acquisition device on the crutch 3 that can rotate with the crutch 3 for outputting the collected signal; setting a motor vibration device 1 and a voice prompt device 2 on the crutch 3 for sending the user of the crutch 3 that there is an obstacle The prompt information of the crutch 3 and the posture information of the crutches; a data processing circuit is set between the signal acquisition device, the motor vibration device 1 and the voice prompt device 2 to receive the acquisition signal, and process the acquisition signal through the steps set in the data processing circuit to obtain The direction and distance par...

Abstract

The invention relates to a blind person obstacle-avoiding navigation method capable of precisely feeding back distance and direction of an obstacle. According to the method, a signal collecting device, a motor vibration device and a voice prompt device are arranged on a crutch and can rotate along with the crutch, data processing circuits are arranged between the signal collecting device and the motor vibration device and between the signal collecting device and the voice prompt device and are used for receiving collected signals, the collected signals are made to be control signals through set steps of the data processing circuits, and then the control signals are correspondingly transmitted to the motor vibration device and the voice prompt device. The method has the advantages that a single chip microcomputer work unit is used for controlling two ultrasonic sensors to collect the distance between an obstacle and the ultrasonic sensors in real time, the voice prompt device is controlled to feed back the specific distance between the obstacle and a blind person and the specific direction of the obstacle, the motor vibration device is used for feeding back the rough distance between the obstacle and the blind person and the rough direction of the obstacle, and therefore auxiliary navigation is provided for the blind person in the walking process.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of obstacle avoidance navigation for blind people, in particular to an obstacle avoidance navigation method for blind people that accurately feeds back the distance and direction of obstacles. Background technique [0002] As a special group in society, blind people need more care and care from society so that they can live better independently. According to the data provided by the "National Plan for Blindness Prevention and Treatment (2006-2010)", there are about 5 million blind people in my country and about 7.1 million people with low vision. In the face of such a large group of blind people and complex and changeable traffic conditions, various navigation methods have emerged as the times require. At present, the main navigation method applied to the crutches of the blind is to send ultrasonic signals through the ultrasonic detection module on the crutches. When the ultrasonic detection module receives...
