To provide an improved technology for providing wayfinding assistance for a visually-handicapped passenger.SOLUTION: A system and a method provide technology for wayfinding assistance for visually-handicapped passengers, and include: short-range transmitters distributed within a passenger cabin of an aircraft, a transit vehicle or a vessel, each short-range transmitter located proximate to respective waypoints in the passenger cabin to transmit a signal identifying the respective waypoints in the passenger cabin; and a client application which is responsive to passing within a range of one of the plurality of short-range transmitters, receives first transmission from the short-range transmitter, and emits one or more of a first audible signal or a first haptic signal, on the basis of the first transmission, as wayfinding assistance to a user of the client device. The technology can also include a mid-range transmitter which is located proximate to a service area in the passenger cabin and transmits a signal providing at least one of a status of or a location of the service area.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1A

    【課題】視覚障害の乗客に道案内を提供するための改良された技術を提供する。【解決手段】システム及び方法が、視覚障害の乗客のための道案内のための技術であって、航空機、輸送ビークル、または船舶の客室内に分布し、各々が客室内の個別ウェイポイントに近接して位置し、客室内の個別ウェイポイントを特定する信号を送信する短距離送信機と、複数の短距離送信機のうちの1つの短距離送信機の範囲内の通過に応答して、短距離送信機からの第1の送信を受信し、第1の送信に基づいてクライアント機器のユーザへの道案内として第1の可聴信号または第1の触覚信号のうちの1つ以上を発するクライアントアプリケーションと、を含む技術を提供する。この技術は、客室内のサービスエリアに近接して位置し、サービスエリアの状態または位置の少なくとも一方を提供する信号を送信する中距離送信機をさらに含むことができる。【選択図】図1A
