Abstract
A portable orientation system which, when for example the human sense of vision fails, can make information gathered from the surroundings available to another human sense. The portable orientation system has a sensor unit for selectively sensing information on the surroundings which is normally sensed by human senses. A signal processing unit is connected to the sensor unit and processes the signals of the sensor unit. A control module controls sensing options and/or processing options and/or output options of the sensor, the signal processing unit and the output unit. The portable orientation system further includes a power supply unit.
Claims13
A portable orientation system, comprising:
- a sensor unit configured to selectively sense information on spatial surroundings that is normally sensed by human senses;
- a signal processing unit connected to said sensor unit and processing signals supplied by said sensor unit;
- an actuator transmitting the information on spatial surroundings for reception by an acoustic human sense, said actuator being operatively connected to said signal processing unit;
- a control module for controlling at least one option selected from the group consisting of a sensing option for said sensor unit, a processing option for said signal processing unit, and an output option for said actuator;
- and
- a power supply unit connected to said signal processing unit.
A portable orientation system, comprising:
- a spectacle frame;
- a sensor unit configured to selectively sense information on spatial surroundings that is normally sensed by human senses;
- a signal processing unit connected to said sensor unit and processing signals supplied by said sensor unit;
- an actuator transmitting the information on spatial surroundings for reception by an acoustic human sense, said actuator being operatively connected to said signal processing unit;
- a control module for controlling at least one option selected from the group consisting of a sensing option for said sensor unit, a processing option for said signal processing unit, and an output option for said output unit;
- a power supply unit connected to said signal processing unit;
- and
- said sensor unit, said signal processing unit, said actuator, said control module, and said power supply unit being integrated into said spectacle frame.
