, Description:FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The present invention generally relates to the field of spectacles. The invention, particularly relates to a navigation and information assistive spectacle for a user, visually impaired person comprising electronic processor having GPS and wireless component. The information assistive spectacles will also provide the detail information related to the structures or currencies to the user via Bluetooth ear as well.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

Visual impairment is a debilitating, life-altering condition that is difficult to overcome. The complexity of vision as a sensation and the complex neural interactions between the eyes and brain make it challenging to construct artificial devices that aim to replace lost or impaired vision in visually impaired persons. In addition, for patients, learning to interpret information from sensory augmentation devices can prove to be a significant obstacle. Navigation through a surrounding environment is quite challenging for the visually impaired people. Besides detecting the obstructive objects sensing of different situations, unexpected, fast moving, projecting, hanging or sinking objects is also important for them for their safe travel. To recognize the signs of the traffic lights, the speed of the vehicles and the pedestrians is especially difficult for blind people. The assistance of trained guide dogs does not solve the problem. A solution is required which can generally be used by non-experts, which is simple and independent of languages.

The information usually available for blind or visually impaired people related with features and services offered within public or private locations, such as subway or train stations, is practically non-existent.

There are few exceptions, such as Braille information posts that appear in some transport stations, some spoken description systems that work on a specific player, sometimes called audio-guides and that are rarely found in museums, and tactile floor systems, yet to be normalized, and that are also very rarely found or partially implemented in transport stations and public pedestrian paths. Finally, there are also some information systems based on spoken messages, to alert or to give immediate information, generally connected with emergency evacuation calls, airport security and London subway "mind the gap" type alerts.

However, the indispensable orientation and navigation information in transportation or within public or private locations that allows users to be capable of fully using a service is wide and complex. For example, in transportation you can have information about destination, train stations and route. But you need to have also schedule information about transport vehicles, ships, and possible destination, as well as travel cost information.

The rest of the necessary information that may allow the use of a service is, generally, supplied visually, and it is located in different parts of train station or other buildings, and therefore it cannot be seen from every single spot within a building for obvious architectural reasons. This is the case of ticket offices. This also happens in other mandatory or essential services, like restrooms, police or security posts, medical stations, telecommunication offices, emergency equipments and emergency exits. It is still the case of the essential information regarding personal navigation, which is necessary for people to reach their destination point, namely a boat boarding ramp, a metro platform, or any stop point. In other words information regarding personal routes. A large number of the above mentioned information is not available on a building or facility entrance or on normal access paths for passengers or other persons, giving place to the introduction of more visual aids, called signaling, that gives directional tips and describes the services available for its users. In places with various sub-spaces or rooms, sometimes you cannot visualize some signs or other visual information. This motivates a careful study about sign location in order to facilitate navigation. More complex buildings demand thorough signaling of services or locations, such as doors, elevators or staircases. As customers, blind and visually impaired people have strong limitations when using of inner or outer transportation or other facilities and it's services, if the information mentioned above, including navigation information, is provided to them in an easy way. It is publicly known that under supervised training, blind or visually impaired people can use by their own means the inner or outer transportation or other facilities and it's services, if the information mentioned above, including navigation information, is provided to them in an easy way.

A number of different types of devices of navigation and information system for visually impaired person or blind are available in prior art. Prior art document, WO2010002284 discloses an orientation, navigation and information system, especially adapted for blind or visually impaired people. It is essentially a system that allows blind or visually impaired people to access information usually made available only to public transportation users visually, through posters or informative signs, or through dynamic information screens of various natures.

Another prior art document, US20050275718 describes an apparatus for identifying the surrounding environment by means of image processing. The apparatus can be used by blind people. The apparatus comprises an input device including at least one CCD or CMOS means for capturing images, a processing device and an output device.

Yet another prior art document, US20050275718 discloses by using speech notification which is unsuitable for marking the position of 30-50 people, objects or vehicles exactly in real-time manner.

Yet another prior art document, US20100292917 describes a method and system for guiding a user through a surrounding environment. The system determines the route on the basis of the requested destination and the geographical location of the user and by real-time processing the images of the surrounding environment and signalling the possible dangerous situations interactively directs the user to his destination.

Yet another prior art document, US20150002808 discloses visual assistive devices that include a detection apparatus configured to receive information about an environment surrounding a user of the visual assistive device, a communication apparatus configured to transmit information to the user, and an electronic processor coupled to the detection apparatus and the communication apparatus, and configured to: receive information about an activity of the user; filter the information about the environment surrounding the user based on the activity of the user; assign a priority rank to each element of the filtered information based on the activity of the user; and transmit at least some of the elements of the filtered information, according to the assigned priority ranks, to the user using the communication apparatus.

Yet another prior art document, WO2016034999 discloses Wearable device for helping a user and process for using such device, which device comprises at least one image and/or video acquisition unit of the stereoscopic or multicamera type, a data processing unit connected to the image and/or video acquisition unit, and a unit indicating information processed by the processing unit to the user.

Yet another prior art document, WO2015140586 discloses a method for operating an electric blind guiding device based on real-time image processing. Objects falling in the direction of progression are detected electronically. The detected signal is transmitted to an image processing unit for analysis. The generated information is transformed into audio signals or tactile information and transmitted to the visually impaired.

Yet another prior art document, EP2371339 discusses a device, which is meant to have a role of the "virtual view" to help blind persons to better orient and navigate through and within their environments; to read text, and recognize people, objects, and environmental circumstances or conditions. It will convert video signal from the prospective viewpoint (miniature camera built in to glasses) of the blind user, into a corresponding voice explanation of the recognized text, persons and other objects, transmitting it to the user via ear phone.

Yet another prior art document, CN102846454 discloses a pair of blind-guiding glasses. The interlayer of each eyeglass of a glasses body is provided with a GPS (global positioning system) chip, wherein the GPS chip is connected with a camera arranged on each eyeglass by a Bluetooth module; each GPS chip is also in wireless communication with a mobile phone; and the sound output end of each GPS chip is connected with an earphone.

Yet another prior art document, WO2013173898 discloses smart spectacles comprise obstacle identification sensors in the vertical, horizontal or diagonal direction, with obstacle calculators located in the front part of the lenses (similar to a digital distance meter projecting a laser beam like that of a bar code reader), with earphones and smart GPS connected by means of the spectacle temples and provided with software designed for identifying street names, optional sites such as bus stops, hospitals, supermarkets, hotels, etc.
However, above mentioned references and many other similar references has one or more of the following shortcomings: (i) does not work in a heavy traffic; (ii) do not identify obstacles; (iii) not used for information or navigation; (iv) does not include geographical position system; and (v) expensive device.
The present application addresses the above mentioned concerns and short comings with regard to providing a navigation and information assistive spectacle for a user.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
In the following detailed description, reference is made to the accompanying drawings which form a part hereof, and in which is shown by way of illustration specific embodiments in which the invention may be practiced. These embodiments are described in sufficient detail to enable those skilled in the art to practice the invention, and it is to be understood that the embodiments may be combined, or that other embodiments may be utilized and that structural and logical changes may be made without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. The following detailed description is, therefore, not to be taken in a limiting sense, and the scope of the present invention is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.

As the technology is advancing day to da¬y, the human machine interaction has bec-ome a must in our da¬ily life. The interf¬erence has progressi¬vely become more imp-ortant and advanced in order to ease the interaction process of the user and pro¬vide friendly operat¬ion. There are a few advanced technologi¬es which are now acc¬essible in the market to cater the needs, yet they have their own particular dra¬wbacks, thus one of the efficient soluti¬ons is to use an emb¬edded system. The pr¬imary objective of this work is to permit blind persons to explore autonomously in the outside envir-onment. Ordinary rou¬te navigational syst¬ems in the outdoor environment are expen-sive and its manufac¬turing is time consu¬ming. Blind people are at extensive draw-back as they regular¬ly do not have the data which is require¬d, while passing obs-tacles and dangers. They generally have little information about data such as la¬nd marks, heading and self-velocity info¬rmation that is cruc¬ial for them to expl¬ore them through new environment. It is our conviction that advances in innovati¬ons could help and encourage these blind people in their reg¬ular operations. This work goes for givi¬ng the route to blind persons, by design¬ing a cost – effecti¬ve and more flexible navigation system.

In an exemplary embodiment of the present invention, Fig.1 depicts perspective view of the navigation and information assistive spectacle according to one of the preferred embodiment of the present invention. Further, Fig.2 depicts front view of the navigation and information assistive spectacle of Fig. 1. A navigation and information assistive spectacle 100 for a user comprising: a detection apparatus 106 configured to receive information about an environment surrounding said user; wherein said detection apparatus 106 is placed on the bridge solder of said assistive spectacle and is of infrared imager or thermal imager type; a battery 103 having a ON/OFF switch on to a first temple 101a of said assistive spectacle 100; an electronic processor 102 coupled on to a second temple 101b of said assistive spectacle 100; wherein said electronic processor 102 is configured to access information from cloud server and communicate wirelessly with an ear phone mike (not shown); and a button 107 is placed on to a second temple 101b of said assistive spectacle. The user can be a visually impaired person or a blind person. Further, the navigation and information assistive spectacle 100 further includes protective glasses 105 which are made up of special material to protect the eyes of the user/wearer.
