摘要:A portable electronic Braille reader which includes a capacitive screen to which information is input via an input port or any other suitable means, which information is decoded and coded by a microprocessor in order to convert the information into Braille characters; a thimble which includes elements capable of generating a stimulus in the reader's finger so that the reader recognizes the characters represented on the screen, and guide lines for ensuring that the thimble slides in the correct direction and on the correct trajectories during reading.
主权项:1. Portable electronic Braille reader, comprising of: A protective housing which contains inside: a) A capacitive screen capable of receiving and storing information via any suitable means and makes it available so a blind person can read in Braille, also such display is adapted to input data or commands by tapping;b) Means for inputting information to the e-reader;c) A microprocessor for decoding the information entered to the reader and encode it so it can be read by capacitive screen;d) Some action buttons through which certain signals are sent to the microprocessor to turn on/off the electronic reader and go forward/back on the pages;e) A power supply as to provide the reader with power;f) A guide line to ensure that the thimble slides over the lines in the right direction and follow a linear path from one end to the other end of the screen; A thimble connected to the microprocessor and adapted to be slid over the capacitive screen as to allow a user to perceive the corresponding characters of the decoded and coded information that was previously entered into the reader, such thimble includes a braille cell comprising of magnetic elements that generate an electromagnetic force, and that each has a cylinder inserted therein, which can be raised independently from each other, to enable blind people to perceive, in a specific position of the thimble over the capacitive screen, a certain braille character.
