Abstract

Le présent brevet d'invention concerne un système intégré d'orientation et de navigation pour personnes présentant une déficience visuelle (1), mis au point pour être utilisé amplement par des déficients visuels dans des lieux ouverts et/ou fermés, publics ou collectifs, tels que des centres commerciaux, des résidences, des centres de congrès, des lycées, des bâtiments commerciaux et des bureaux, ainsi que sur des trottoirs, dans des métros, des trains, des bus et d'autres moyens de transport. Ledit système comprend des émetteurs (2) de localisation, un récepteur (3) de localisation et un téléphone intelligent (3) ou smartphone de l'utilisateur, les émetteurs de localisation correspondant à des balises de trois types : (a) multidirectionnelles, (b) unidirectionnelles et (c) d'information. Ce système se caractérise en ce que des points d'intérêt sont signalisés de manière que la conception émetteur/récepteur fournisse des informations à l'utilisateur afin que ce dernier puisse trouver la direction ou le lieu où il se rend sans devoir recourir à l'aide de personnes tierces ou se déplacer sur des trajets prédéfinis, ce qui est communément le cas pour les personnes présentant une déficience visuelle. Cela permet d'obtenir une description sur le positionnement des objets et des lieux, ainsi que leur direction, des données audio et des informations analogues à l'utilisation de la vision étant ainsi fournies, ces relations pouvant être placées directement sur leur carte cognitive.
