Abstract
Abstract There is disclosed an information broadcasting system, controlled by a computer, which has been specifically designed for aiding blind persons in walking through a town. The system comprises at least a transmitting station, to be associated with a zone of interest, adapted to transmit or broadcast given information messages, relating to the interest zone, and at least a portable receiving station (R) which is able of automatically tuning on the transmitting station (T), the receiving station (R) or device being provided with means, to be actuated by the user, to selectively poll the transmitting station, and means adapted to transform the messages transmitted by the transmitting station into intelligible voice signals.
