Zusammenfassung: | The present invention relates to a height-measurable stick for the blind and a guiding method using the same, the height-measurable stick being capable of making the blind recognize topography at places, such as a steps or pits, where the blind may encounter a rapid change in height and thus preventing negligent accidents, by providing a user with information on the height between the ground and the stick previously. The height-measurable stick according to the present invention comprises: a rod-shaped stick body having a grip part at one side thereof; a power supply part having an operating button on the grip part for supplying power; a distance detecting part mounted on the stick body; an angle detecting part mounted on the stick body; a calculation part which calculates the height from the ground to the lower end of the stick by using the measured values through the distance detecting part and the angle detecting part; a control part which makes a comparative determination between the real-time height information obtained from the calculation part and a predetermined reference danger value; and an alarming part which provides a user with information on the danger at the front which is determined through the control part. |
