9.201941028426SELF POWER – DRIVEN SHOES TO ASSIST VISUALLY DISABLED PEOPLE IN - 2.01.2021Int.Class A61H /Appl.No 201941028426Applicant Aparna PInventor Aparna PSELF POWER – DRIVEN SHOES TO ASSIST VISUALLY DISABLED PEOPLE Artificial Vision is the most important part of human physiology as 83% of information human being gets from the environment is via sight. The statistics by the World Health Organization (WHO) in 2014 estimates that there are 285 billion people in world with visual impairment, 39 billion of people which are blind and 246 with low vision. The oldest and traditional mobility aids for persons with visual impairments are the walking cane (also called white cane or stick) and guide dogs. The drawbacks of these aids are range of motion and very little Information conveyed. With the rapid advances of modern technology, both in hardware and software front have brought potential to provide intelligent navigation capabilities. Recently there has been a lot of Electronic Travel Aids (ETA) designed and devised to help the blind people to navigate safely and independently. Also high-end technological solutions have been introduced recently to help blind persons navigate independently. The IR sensor and buzzer will not give accurate result to the blind people, this is the main drawback of previous project, IR sensor are the obstacle detecting sensor in previous project, the problem associated with these reasons are less efficiency and less accuracy to detect obstacle and one more problem is that it will not provide clear information to blind people. The people having Blindness and low vision are experiencing many challenges in their daily life. This prevents them from travelling independently. Even though they use canes, that doesn’t ensure that they have a secured journey. Hence the wide range of tools and techniques are used to help them in their mobility. This work presents a prototype model of a smart electronic aid for blind people. This system is intended to provide overall information of object detection, and send information related to it to the wearer. The power supply being the major criteria the shoe is integrated with self-power generation unit such that there is no power backup problem. The power generation is done by using piezoelectric generator. Location of the person and other related information is obtained using GPS.Ultrasonic sensors are used for object detection Piezoelectric generators are used for power generation. Vibrators are used in the shoes to alert the wearer of the object and the intensity of vibrations gives the wearer an idea of the distance of the obstacle. In case of emergencies, location information of the wearer is send to the family members via GSM with the help of a switch.The system consists of microcontroller, ultrasonic sensor, and a vibratory circuit. This project aims at the development of an Electronic Travelling Aid (ETA) kit to help the blind people to find obstacle free path. This ETA is fixed to the shoe. When the obstacle is detected, the user is alerted by the vibrations in the shoe. Here the power supply is main criteria the shoe is integrated with self-power generation unit such that there is no power back up problem.
10.201741037877SMART NAVIGATION SYSTEM FOR VISUALLY CHALLENGED PERSON''S IN - 3.05.2019Int.Class G05B 19/00Appl.No 201741037877Applicant MR.V.BASKARInventor R.V.BASKAR ABSTRACT OF THE INVENTIONThe main aim of this project is to assist the blind persons without the human need. It is well known that the blind people carry a hand stick with them whenever they need a support. Sometimes even when they use this stick, there is no guarantee that the blind persons are safe and secured in reaching their destinations. There may be an obstacle in their path but is not encountered by the person with the help of the stick. Thus, the people may be injured if the obstacles are big enough or dangerous. For this reason, a design has been developed to assist the blind and provide them a clear path by using Hat, a Hand Gloves and Shoe. The system consists of Ultrasonic sensor fixed to the user"s Hat, a Hand Gloves and Shoe. While the user moves the ultrasonic sensor fixed to the hat or gloves or shoe tries to detect the obstacle if any present in the path. If the sensor detects the obstacle, the output of the sensor triggers the NRF module attached to Arduino Micro-controller to send the message to Arduino Micro-controller board. In Arduino Micro-controller board there will be receiver (NRF module) is given as input. Thus, the Arduino Micro-controller board immediately alerts a small vibrator present in the Hat to vibrate by receiving the triggered output from any of the sensors. Thus, the user can change the direction, in any other direction to avoid any kind of injury, as soon the vibrator is activated. The entire controlling unit will be fixed to the Hat.
