To provide a walk assist system capable of guiding a user such as a visually impaired person to a vacant seat of a transportation facility.SOLUTION: When a user holding a white stick boards a transportation facility, whether a vacant seat exists among seats which are installed in the transportation facility is determined based on a camera image taken by a camera incorporated in the white stick. When a vacant seat exists, position information on the vacant seat is acquired. A guide route along which the user's walk is guided to the position of the vacant seat is designated. Guide information for use in guiding the user's walk along the guide route is generated. The guide information is transmitted to a vibration generator and loudspeaker incorporated in the white stick. Using the vibration of the vibration generator and voice from the loudspeaker, the user is guided to the vacant seat.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 3

    【課題】視覚障碍者等のユーザに対して運輸機関の空席への誘導を行うことができる歩行支援システムを提供する。【解決手段】白杖を把持したユーザが運輸機関に乗車した際、白杖に内蔵されたカメラからのカメラ画像に基づいて運輸機関に設置された座席のうち空席が存在するか判定し、空席が存在する場合に、当該空席の位置情報を取得する。空席の位置までユーザの歩行を誘導するための誘導経路を設定する。また、誘導経路に沿ってユーザの歩行を誘導するための誘導情報を生成し、この誘導情報を白杖に内蔵された振動発生機およびスピーカに送信する。振動発生機の振動やスピーカからの音声によってユーザを空席に向けて誘導する。【選択図】図3
