Study of the Intelligent Space for the Navigation Systems of Guide Dog Users

在本研究中，笔者参考各类统计数据，验证了导盲犬使用者导航系统的必要性，并通过对现有各种视障人士电子设备的详细研究，对系统进行了评估。通过参考已有的认知地图研究，作者还研究了系统必须提供的信息细节，并分析了利用电子设备使用听觉地图的必要条件以及信息(空间图式)的形成。在这些研究成果的基础上，作者提出了假设导航系统的具体要求，并制定了系统所使用的空间索引。

In this study, the author has verified the necessity of the navigation systems of guide dog users by referring to various types of statistical data, and has evaluated the systems by studying the details of the various types of existing electric devices for the visually impaired. By referring to existing cognitive map studies, the author has also studied the information details that must be provided by the systems, and has analyzed the conditions necessary for utilizing auditory maps with electronic devices as well as the formulation of information (spatial schema). Based on the results of these studies, the author has proposed specifics for postulate navigation systems, and has formulated the spatial index used in the systems.
