The purpose of this research is support blind person's daily walking. In order to achieve the purpose, we investigate how the environmental information is used for their daily walking both in residential and commercial areas considering the characteristics of walking. In the investigation, interview to the persons concerned is carried out and all the conversation with them is recorded with a voice recorder. Moreover, the environmental information that may become clues is plotted on a map together with photos. The results are as follows; (1) Environmental information which the blind persons use is different depending on the role of its own of place, such as place confirmation, direction decision, distance understanding. (2) It is demonstrated that the information acquisition from sound is effective when they especially understand place and location.

Nowaday, financial institutions provide secure mobile keyboard solutions to keep their mobile banking services safe. However, these are still vulnerable to attacks, such as shoulder surfing attack. Especially, in the case of handicapped person such as visual impairment and blindness, they are more vulnerable than ordinary person because of inconvenience of secure information input. Among them, we focused on the color blind. For the color blind, 4-color based secure keyboard method causes more inconvenience to notify exact color. Thus, we propose a secure mobile keyboard solution to provide advanced functionality for the color blind users. Our method is based on 4-color theorem to support color blind users. In addition, our scheme is robust against shoulder surfing attack. According to the evaluation result, our method offers increased security against shoulder surfing attack compare with existing methods.

We have proposed an indoor positioning system for moving objects and/for the blind or visually impaired to play various sports. [ for a blind or visually impaired playing various sports.] This system consists of a wireless heart rate monitor, wireless sensor network and / 4 ultrasound satellites [ configuration with four ultrasound satellite modules) at the corners of the room. This system provides / the real-time measurement of the location and heart rate of the person in the room[ non-invasive measurement method of the heart rate and the location of a person in real time ], and will help the [a] blind or visually impaired enjoy sports more easily.

This study is derived from a problem for the blind, how to recognize the space and how to find their way. Unlike ordinary people, the disabled people are closely related with special constructor environment using the other sense. Especially, to find his/her location, each person depends on the wayfinding ability as acquiring specific and various information,(e.g. recognizing figure by tactile sense, space size by auditory sense, direction by light from a window and regular noise, and existence of switch in a specific place.) Those senses help the person's wayfinding to his/her destination. The procedure of wayfinding are location, position, orientation, navigation, and movement. Consequently, construction for the people above mentioned can offer a design-guideline considering following factors, building arrangement considering regular noise, refurbishment, plan configuration of floor and wall-skin changed, circulation stream that maintains right angle by the regular noise in the building, enforcement location character by the inflow of the light into a crossing.

Nowadays, technologies such as RFID, sensor network makes our life comfortable more and more. In this paper we propose a wearable computing system for blind and deaf person who can be easily out of sight from our technology. We are making a wearable computing system that is consisted of embedded board to processing data, ultrasonic sensors to get distance data and motors that make vibration as a signal to see the screen for a deaf person. This system offers environmental informations by text and voice. For example, distance data from a obstacle to a person are calculated by data compounding module using sensed ultrasonic reflection time. This data is converted to text or voice by main processing module, and are serviced to a handicapped person. Furthermore we will extend this system using a voice recognition module and text to voice convertor module to help communication among the blind and deaf persons.

시각장애인이 보행 및 이동시 올바른 방향 정립을 통해 목적지에 쉽게 갈 수 있도록 하기 위해 음성을 이용하여 사용자의 방향을 알려줄 수 있는 시각장애인용 음성안내 나침반을 개발하였다. 개발된 음성안내 나침반은 자기 센서를 이용하여 지자계를 인식함으로써 방향을 인지할 수 있는 센서부와 소리를 녹음하는 보이스레코더 IC, 방향정보를 소리를 통해 사용자에게 전달하는 스피커 그리고 이들을 제어하는 마이크로프로세서로 구성된다. 개발된 음성안내 나침반은 32방향의 방향 분해능을 가지며 사용자의 편리를 위해 사용자가 설정한 일정시간 간격으로 계속적으로 진행하는 방향을 알려줄 수 있도록 설계되었다. 개발된 음성안내 나침반은 시각장애인의 이동뿐만 아니라 각종 스포츠와 레저에도 이용될 수 있도록 설계되었으며 시각장애인을 이용한 실험을 통하여 그 성능을 입증하였다.

This is a Phenomenological study to describe the experience of nursing students on blind persons. Report and individual interviews were conducted on subjective experience of 5 nursing students. Data were analyzed through Giorgi's method in which meaningful statements. The results were from significant statements on reports and interview. These were clustered into 17 theme and 4 central meaning. Nursing Students started practice with prejudice, fear, and expectation at the same time. They also experienced complicated feelings (expansion of consciousness, growth of self, expansion of emotion, true presence)for the blind person. Make a situational structural description from theme and central meaning. Make a general structural description from situational structural description.

This study long jump action to each situation on a chessboard and section of sight disabled person and normal person through third dimension reflex analysis mechanical special quality because do comparative analysis sight disabled person's exercise ability and technology structure of action that run understand. As can do better without danger of injury map and training of exercise item that action that run is included, do offer of pabulum by purpose. Through this study, conclusion is as following. 1. Sight disabled persons' long jump average recording (121.84cm) showing normal persons' average recording (259.27cm) and much differences, show that motion of body is not big to Touch-down from Ready action. 2. Each phase body center composition(r) average speed displayed result that it is more meaning more than Each phase time required. 3. Began in line carriage without body back stretching in 1 situation on Event one are sight disabled persons. Was expose that do not bend enough knee and ankle than normal person in Event two. Was expose that body is not drooped for surface of land in Event three, and knee and ankle were expose that do not unfold easily than normal person. Was expose that do not bend enough on Touch-down knee by relation that can not grasp position of the floor in Event four. 4. When taking off, the average of horizontal speed of body center are 1.80m/sec for blind people and 3.53m/sec for the normal. In this connection, the study shows that the difference of horizontal speed between the blind and the normal is bigger than difference of vertical speed, which are 1.56m/sec for the blind and 1.98m/sec for the normal. Also, composite speed also shows us big difference between 2.41m/sec of the blind and 4.07m/sec of the normal. The speed body center of take-off was expose that average adjuster are big width of deceleration than average - beginning disabled person's average by 2.23m/sec - 1.71m/sec in the vertical speed. 5. If examine change of high and low for z Sign of right hand, change of high and low showed as is small than normal person is sight obstacle, and all hand movements are small and was expose that do not use enough reaction of body as well as in ready action.

현재의 교통안내 시스템은 신호등 정보가 객체인증 없이 정상인과 시각장애인 모두에게 외장형 스피커를 이용하여 제공되므로 정상인에게는 소음 공해로 인한 스트레스를 초래하고, 시각장애인은 차량소음과 주위소음으로 인하여 정보 청취에 어려움이 있다. 시각장애인 개체 인증은 수동형 RFID 시스템을 이용하여 RFID 태그를 백색지팡이에 부착한 시각장애인이 횡단보도에 접근하면 RFID 리더기가 태그를 인식하여 시각 장애인의 인증을 통하여 횡단보행에 필요한 현재위치, 현재 신호등 상태 및 현재 날씨 정보 등을 음성으로 스피커나 블루투스를 통하여 정보를 제공하도록 하였다. 또한 RFID 태그위치를 기존 시스템과 정반대로 함으로써 보다 저가의 장치를 장애인에게 보급하는 것이 가능하게 되었다.

We implementated an ultrasonic wave cane for the blind. The cane detect walking obstacle and provide a walking direction. The cane used time of flight method of ultrasonic-wave for a measurement of obstacle distance and fluxgate geomagnetic sensor for guidance of walking direction. This system can detect an obstacle of upward, forward, downward and that warn to the blind with vibration, pitch sound. And the blind can know walking direction to voice output. As a result, the blind could efficiently avoid a exposed obstacle, obstacles beyond knee, an exposed street obstacle, a branch of tree person's height and it is usable search for surrounding land mark.
