Title:
GUIDING SYSTEM BY AIR BEAM
Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JP2004237013
Kind Code:
A
Abstract:

To provide a system for guiding a visually disabled person to a destination even in a narrow room.

When a user comes to a first prescribed position related to an air beam nozzle, for example, enters an entrance door of the room, a first sensor senses the arrival of the user, and an air beam is shot. The air beam from the air beam nozzle is shot in a prescribed direction and hits a place around the face of the user. Then, the user, guided toward the position from which the air beam hitting the face comes, advances toward a target object, and further advances to arrive at the target object as a second prescribed position. A second sensor stops the jetting of the air beam from the air beam nozzle when senses that the user arrives at the target object to let the user know that the user has arrived at the target object. In this way, the user, guided along a route, can advance step by step according to the number of air beam nozzles disposed on the route.
