Electronic Stick for Vision Control of Pre-defined Area with

FN-M16P Module Voice Alert

Abstract
People with disabilities, particularly blind and partially sighted, are
daily confronted with numerous problems while performing routine
activities and moving through unfamiliar areas. To overcome this problems
in this project, we designed a navigation prototype for the visually impaired
which is focused on providing voice output for obstacle prevention and
navigation using ultrasonic sensors. RFID technology is used to inform the
blind people about the current place, and water level sensor is used to inform
about if water is present on their way and temperature sensor used to inform
fire presence on their way.

Introduction

God gifted sense of vision to the human being is an important aspect of our
life. But there are some unfortunate people who lack the ability of
visualizing things. The visually impaired have to face many challenges in
their daily life. The problem gets worse when they travel to an unfamiliar
location.
To overcome these problems faced by blind people, we have come up with a
solution which helps them to walk freely and fulfill their requirements using
speech reorganization and intimate to the person by text message with the
area where the person is. This project informs the user through voice about
the distance of a particular object ahead them through voice output.
This project also informs the blind people if water present on their way.
Along with this another feature is also added such as sensing fire presence
on their way. MP3 player will produce the voice output in every case.

Literature survey

An efficient healthcare system is a requirement for both developed countries,

where the cost of healthcare is high and security and privacy are critical
issues and developing countries like India, where there is a mass population
to be taken care. An efficient, reliable, robust and secure health flow is
important to manage patients, their health records smoothly and for the right
care to reach to the patient at any time.

For example, secure identifiers can help an individual to reduce errors.

With the recent advancements in mobile devices involving secure credential
storage, larger storage capability, wireless communication interfaces and
computational power, they can be used in healthcare for not only gathering
vital health parameters, of a patient, but also assist them to take
precautionary measures for an efficient treatment.

Technology employed as a part of healthcare can also help determine

location of the patient in case of emergency through location service (GPS)
on recent mobile devices.

The main contribution of this paper is, proposal of a robust secure healthcare
architecture using Android based mobile device with Bluetooth interface.

Description
Many embedded systems have substantially different designs
according to their functions and utilities. In this project design, structured
modular design concept is adopted and the system is mainly composed of a
Renesas microcontroller, LCD, LM35, MP3, Ultrasonic sensor (HCSR04)
and Water level Sensor.

The microcontroller located at the centre of the block diagram forms the
control unit of the entire project. Embedded within the microcontroller is a
program that helps the microcontroller to take action based on the inputs
provided by the output of the sensors.

Ultrasonic sensor is utilized to find the obstacle and distance of any object
from the blind people. This can come in handy for individuals. If any object
is located within the range of 20cm or 30cm, and if the obstacle is present
above this range, for both case different voice output will produce.

RFID tags will be place at different places and indicates names of different
places. RFID reader is used to detect those places. When blind person come
near to the particular tag, corresponding name voice output will produce to
inform the blind people.
LM35 temperature sensor is used to detect fire and water level sensor is used
to detect water present on the way of blind people. If water and fire detected,
corresponding voice output will produce. In this project, LCD is also utilized
in order to show the working of every unit.

Components Used
 Renesas microcontroller
 MP3 module FN-M16P
 LCD
 Water Level Sensor
 Ultrasonic sensor
 RFID Reader and RFID Tags
 Speaker
 LM35 Temperature Sensor

ADVANTAGES:

 It helps blind people to navigate through the surroundings without

injuring themselves.
 The system can be used both indoor and outdoor navigation
APPLICATION

 Few of the application can also be utilized in automobile fields for

Auto mode vehicles.
 Used by senior citizens with Eye blurness problem.

Future Scope
With the ongoing changes taking place in today’s technology the entire unit
can be made into a simple and compact device. Flexible solar power
developed on a plastic strip can be attached to the unit as the source of
power supply.
