Abstract

The invention relates to health safety and alert media with tactile and visual writing which are used to identify, communicate and recognise objects and subjects, to indicate locations and to provide walking assistance, the invention being intended for use by the visually impaired, the sighted and persons losing their sight. The inventive device, which comprises a reference description support that can take the form of various sub-devices, is characterised by the use of a standard type of raised or indented writing which appears above the Braille equivalent thereof. In this way, the sighted can read the information visually while the visually impaired can read the same information in a tactile manner, regardless of whether or not said persons can read Braille. According to the invention, the device is an educational and safety tool that allows visually-impaired persons having difficulty mastering Braille to read safely, as well as enabling sighted persons unfamiliar with Braille to become familiar with same and practise the use thereof.

Description

Média d'alerte et de sécurité sanitaire à écriture tactile et visuelle. La présente invention concerne la création et la fabrication d'un dispositif qui associe et combine un support adapté à un objet ou un sujet qu'il désigne ou contient, une écriture en relief classique utilisable dans toutes les langues, et sa correspondance en écriture Braille. Ce dispositif permet à toutes personnes atteintes de déficience visuelle (non-voyants, malvoyants, amblyopes) de reconnaître tous objets sonores ou non, sujets, messages, lieux, signalisations, propositions, tous produits dont les formes semblables ou impalpables ne permettent pas leur distinction. Ce dispositif permet reconnaissance, identification et alerte aisée, tant par et pour toutes les personnes non-voyantes, que par et pour les personnes voyantes ou en perte d'autonomie visuelle. L'utilisation dans ce dispositif, de deux écritures, l'une, classique, en relief ou en creux, l'autre en Braille, juxtaposées l'une en dessous de l'autre et concordantes, permet d'assurer une lecture visuelle par les voyants, tactile par la totalité des non-voyants. Ce dispositif créé par l'association d'un support spécifique et de cette double écriture en relief, est donc universel en ce qu'il permet une lecture par les voyants et par les non-voyants, qu'ils lisent ou non le Braille. Ce dispositif se révèle être également un outil pédagogique et sécuritaire permettant aux personnes non-voyantes de confirmer et sécuriser leur lecture, ou se familiariser avec le braille.Alert and health security media with tactile and visual writing. The present invention relates to the creation and manufacture of a device which associates and combines a support adapted to an object or a subject which it designates or contains, a conventional relief writing usable in all languages, and its correspondence in Braille writing. . This device allows all people with visual impairment (blind, partially sighted, partially sighted) to recognize all sound objects or not, subjects, messages, places, signals, proposals, all products whose similar or intangible forms do not allow their distinction. . This device allows easy recognition, identification and alert, both by and for all blind people, as well as by and for sighted people or people with visual impairment. The use in this device, of two writings, one, classic, in relief or in hollow, the other in Braille, juxtaposed one below the other and concordant, makes it possible to ensure a visual reading by the sighted, tactile by all of the blind. This device created by the association of a specific medium and this double relief writing, is therefore universal in that it allows reading by sighted and by blind, whether or not they read Braille. This device is also proving to be an educational and safe tool allowing blind people to confirm and secure their reading, or to familiarize themselves with Braille.
Moins de 25% des personnes non-voyantes lisent le BRAILLE. L'Europe compte environ 1 500 000 personnes aveugles pour une population de 350 millions d'individus. Mais à ce nombre, il convient de rajouter les personnes souffrant de dégénérescence maculaire liée à l'âge, en perte d'autonomie visuelle, soit environ 4 000 000 de personnes, et les personnes diabétiques susceptibles de développer une cécité, soit environ 4% de la population. Le présent dispositif intéresse donc en Europe:Less than 25% of blind people read BRAILLE. Europe has around 1,500,000 blind people for a population of 350 million people. But to this number, it is necessary to add people suffering from age-related macular degeneration, with loss of visual autonomy, or about 4,000,000 people, and people with diabetes who are likely to develop blindness, or about 4%. Population. The present device is therefore of interest in Europe:
- Aveugles et DMLA 5 500 000- Blind and AMD 5,500,000
- personnes à risque de cécité 14 500 000 La majorité donc des non-voyants, pour diverses raisons, subit un handicap de communication dans les situations les plus simples de la vie. exemples: Pour les non-yoyants, comment sélectionner facilement une cassette audio, une pochette CD parmi d'autres, sans devoir les réécouter ? Comment reconnaître et sélectionner une lettre, un document pour les faire lire, sans risquer des divulgations intimes ou des atteintes à la vie privée ? Comment reconnaître et identifier un produit dangereux ? Comment assurer la sécurité de reconnaissance et d'alerte des produits de santé, des cosmétiques, mais également des produits alimentaires, et bien sur de tous les produits toxiques, allergènes, ou présentant un risque de méprise avec ces produits ?- people at risk of blindness 14,500,000 The majority therefore of the blind, for various reasons, suffer from a communication handicap in the simplest situations of life. examples: For non-residents, how can you easily select an audio cassette, a CD cover among others, without having to listen to them again? How to recognize and select a letter, a document to make them read, without risking intimate disclosures or invasions of privacy? How to recognize and identify a dangerous product? How to ensure the security of recognition and alert of health products, cosmetics, but also food products, and of course of all toxic products, allergens, or presenting a risk of misunderstanding with these products?
Comment assurer également, avec le même support, la communication avec tous les non-voyants et les voyants ?How can we also ensure, with the same support, communication with all blind and sighted people?
Ce dispositif selon l'invention permet de répondre à toutes ces obligations. Il consiste en un ou plusieurs support(s) associé(s) et adapté(s) à tout objet ou sujet, destiné à être reconnu(s) par des personnes non-voyantes et voyantes. Ce support peut être une étiquette, reliée, ou collée, une lettre, un emballage, un packaging ou tout autre objet compatible, en papier, carton, textiles, matières plastiques ou métalliques, minérales ou végétales à l'effet de désigner ou décrire l'objet, le produit, le sujet, l'émetteur, le fabricant, pour reconnaître identifier, alerter, au moyen d'une double écriture, l'une réalisée en relief (ou en creux), utilisant les alphabets classiques dans toutes les langues, mais aussi les solfèges, les signes, les chiffres, les logos, les symboles, pictogrammes et idéogrammes, laquelle écriture est associée et corrélée à sa correspondance en Braille. L'écriture classique réalisée en relief (ou en creux), permet la lecture tactile et la lecture visuelle par contraste, ombrage, ou coloration distincte des lettres et de la surface du support. L'écriture en Braille juxtaposée en dessous ou au-dessus de l'écriture classique en relief, délivre le même message et permet ainsi la confirmation de l'information pour les "braillistes". Cette double écriture associée est également un outil pédagogique en ce qu'elle permet aux "non-braillistes" l'apprentissage du Braille. Le dispositif peut ainsi être étendu et généralisé à l'apprentissage du Braille dans les écoles spécialisées. Le support caractérisé par ces deux écritures en relief formant le dispositif est relié à l'objet ou au sujet qui l'utilise, et qu'il décrit, collé, imprimé, lié mécaniquement, électromécaniquement.This device according to the invention makes it possible to meet all of these obligations. It consists of one or more support (s) associated (s) and adapted (s) to any object or subject, intended to be recognized (s) by blind and sighted people. This support can be a label, bound or glued, a letter, packaging, packaging or any other compatible object, in paper, cardboard, textiles, plastic or metallic, mineral or vegetable materials for the purpose of designating or describing the object, product, subject, sender, manufacturer, to recognize, identify, alert, by means of double writing, one carried out in relief (or intaglio), using the classic alphabets in all languages , but also the solfeges, signs, figures, logos, symbols, pictograms and ideograms, which writing is associated and correlated to its correspondence in Braille. The traditional writing carried out in relief (or in hollow), allows the tactile reading and the visual reading by contrast, shading, or distinct coloring of the letters and the surface of the support. The writing in Braille juxtaposed below or above the traditional writing in relief, delivers the same message and thus allows the confirmation of the information for the "braillists". This double associated writing is also an educational tool in that it allows "non-Braillists" to learn Braille. The system can thus be extended and generalized to the learning of Braille in specialized schools. The support characterized by these two raised writings forming the device is connected to the object or to the subject who uses it, and which it describes, pasted, printed, linked mechanically, electromechanically.
Le dispositif servira le plus souvent d'emballage à l'objet associé (1-FIG1). Le dispositif peut-être décliné en dispositif générique et sous-dispositifs analogiques (2-FIG3), amovibles et solidaires, tels que dossiers, sous- dossiers et documents. Le dispositif se décline en boîte et notice (2-FIG4), étiquette (3-FIG5) collée ou rattachée, lettre, document (2-FIG3). Le dispositif peut être utilisé également pour décrire un service ou un lieu. Le dispositif est également utilisable pour aider à la déambulation aisée des personnes déficientes visuelles tant à l'intérieur qu'à l'extérieur des bâtiments. Dans ce cas, le support prend l'apparence d'une borne fixe de référence placée au départ et à l'arrivée du trajet de circulation et numérotée 1, qui décrit en relief les lieux (plan principal) et les directions principales vers d'autres bornes d'accueils spécifiques qui servent de repères successifs décrivant les lieux (plans secondaires) et les directions plus précisément, et enfin de panneaux signalisateurs (3-FIG6) entre les bornes. Bornes et panneaux signalisateurs, en plus des écritures classiques en relief et Braille et de leur signalétique en relief, sont munis de détecteurs électroniques qui, à mi-distance entre borne et panneau, identifient un objet électronique (carte à puce, par exemple) délivré par la première borne de référence, et déclenchent ou coupent un son spécifique qui accompagne et guide la personne non- voyante lors de sa déambulation, et l'aide ainsi à cheminer d'une borne à un panneau, puis à une autre borne. L'écriture en relief classique, sa correspondance en Braille et le support, forment une variante du dispositif, en l'occurence le média d'alerte et de sécurité à écritures tactiles et visuelle délivrant un message facilitant la déambulation. Dans ce cas, les critères évolueront et s'adapteront aux technologies et à l'expérimentation.The device will most often serve as packaging for the associated object (1-FIG1). The device can be declined in generic device and analog sub-devices (2-FIG3), removable and interdependent, such as files, sub-files and documents. The device is available in box and manual (2-FIG4), label (3-FIG5) pasted or attached, letter, document (2-FIG3). The device can also be used to describe a service or a place. The device can also be used to help the easy walking of visually impaired people both inside and outside buildings. In this case, the support takes the appearance of a fixed reference terminal placed at the start and at the end of the traffic route and numbered 1, which describes in relief the places (main plan) and the main directions towards other specific reception terminals which serve as successive landmarks describing the places (secondary planes) and directions more precisely, and finally as signposts (3-FIG6) between the terminals.

REFERENTIEL DE L'ECRITURE TACTILE ET VISUELLE: Hauteur des Lettres: 5 mm minimal, 7 mm optimal et au-dessus. Caractère des lettres: police "bâton", et toutes polices simples majuscules ou minuscules aisément lisibles tactilement selon les expérimentations. Espacement des lettres, des traits et des lignes: 2 mm minimum, 3 mm optimal, et au-dessus proportionnel à la dimension des lettres. Hauteur des reliefs : Pour les utilisations en petits caractères, sur supports minces 0,10 mm; sur support d'épaisseur moyenne 0,30 mm minimum, La combinaison des deux reliefs étant idéale lorsque le petit relief créée une rugosité à la surface du relief principal. Le relief est proportionné à la dimension de l'écriture, sa largeur optimale et référentielle est de 1 mm. Couleurs du support: toutes couleurs. Couleur de l'écriture: toutes couleurs distinctes de la surface du support. Continuité et discontinuité des lignes: 3 mm minimum de séparation. Espacements des mots: 3 mm minimum ou 1,5 fois l'espacement des lettres et 6 mm optimum ou 2 fois l'espacement des lettres L'espacement des mots est proportionnel à la dimension des lettres. Epures des formes compliquées: chaque cas est soumis à expérimentation. CARACTERISTIQUE DE L'ECRITURE TACTILE ET VISUELLE: La caractéristique de l'écriture en relief est sa finesse de lecture tactile obtenue sur support mince, par un relief s'apparentant à des picots successifs et juxtaposés à l'intérieur du trait formant la lettre, de 0,1 mm minimum de hauteur (B1-FIG7). Ce relief forme une rugosité suffisante pour assurer la lecture tactile. Le même effet de rugosité est obtenu en mélangeant une poudre abrasive à l'encre du trait, ou en utilisant une encre qui cristallise en séchant (B2-FIG7). L'écriture tactile et visuelle, lorsque l'épaisseur du support le permet, est formée par un relief correspondant à la largeur du trait ou inférieur, d'une hauteur de 0,30 mm minimum (B3-FIG7), appelé ici relief principal. La superposition des reliefs minces sur le relief principal (B4-FIG7 et B5-FTG7) confère à l'écriture en relief du dispositif, la meilleure finesse de lecture tactile. Cette formule sera la plus souvent utilisée. FABRICATION: Le dispositif utilise toutes les formes d'impression et de marquage offerts par la technologie sur tous types de matériaux. Il s'agit des technologies de l'imprimerie et de l'industrie des matières plastiques, métalliques, textiles, animales (cuirs) végétales et minérales (eaux fortes, gauffrage, repoussage, matage, formatage, formage ,et thermo-formage par pression ou dépression, pressage, repoussage, flocage, gravure, pyro-gravure, laser, stratification chimique, etc.. ADAPTABILITE DU DISPOSITIF:REFERENTIAL OF TOUCH AND VISUAL WRITING: Height of Letters: 5 mm minimum, 7 mm optimal and above. Character of the letters: "stick" font, and all simple uppercase or lowercase fonts easily readable by touch depending on experience. Spacing of letters, lines and lines: 2 mm minimum, 3 mm optimal, and above proportional to the size of the letters. Height of the reliefs: For uses in small characters, on thin supports 0.10 mm; on medium thickness 0.30 mm minimum support, The combination of the two reliefs being ideal when the small relief creates a roughness on the surface of the main relief. The relief is proportional to the size of the writing, its optimal and referential width is 1 mm. Support colors: all colors. Color of the writing: all colors distinct from the surface of the support. Continuity and discontinuity of lines: minimum 3 mm separation. Word spacing: 3 mm minimum or 1.5 times the letter spacing and 6 mm optimum or 2 times the letter spacing Word spacing is proportional to the size of the letters. Drawings of complicated forms: each case is subjected to experimentation. CHARACTERISTICS OF TACTILE AND VISUAL WRITING: The characteristic of relief writing is its delicacy of tactile reading obtained on thin support, by a relief resembling successive pins and juxtaposed inside the line forming the letter, 0.1 mm minimum height (B1-FIG7). This relief forms a roughness sufficient to ensure tactile reading. The same roughness effect is obtained by mixing an abrasive powder with the line ink, or by using an ink which crystallizes as it dries (B2-FIG7). The tactile and visual writing, when the thickness of the support allows, is formed by a relief corresponding to the width of the line or less, with a height of 0.30 mm minimum (B3-FIG7), called here main relief . The superimposition of the thin reliefs on the main relief (B4-FIG7 and B5-FTG7) gives the relief writing of the device the best smoothness of tactile reading. This formula will be used most often. MANUFACTURING: The device uses all forms of printing and marking offered by technology on all types of materials. These are technologies from the printing industry and the plastics, metals, textiles, animal (leathers) vegetable and mineral industries (etching, embossing, embossing, matting, formatting, forming, and pressure thermoforming. or depression, pressing, pushing back, flocking, etching, pyrography, laser, chemical stratification, etc. ADAPTABILITY OF THE DEVICE:
Le dispositif est défini par trois critères qui en font l'originalité: un support (A), variable en formes et dimensions, adaptable à la nature et à la destination de l'objet ou du sujet qu'il contient, présente ou représente, une écriture classique en relief (B), désignant, identifiant, alertant, enfin une transcription en Braille (C), corrélée et juxtaposée au-dessus ou en-dessous. Ainsi le dispositif peut être, un lettre, une enveloppe, une carte de visite, identifiant un Emetteur si les paramètres (B) et (C) sont utilisés en en-tête. Le dispositif est adaptable à l'enveloppe et à la lettre, solidaires et amovibles, ainsi qu'à la boîte de médicaments et sa notice d'alerte (2-Fig 4) Le dispositif s'adapte également au CD (compact disque audio) et Cassettes audio(l - Fig 2): Les CD et les K7 sont glissés dans leurs pochettes et étuis. Ces pochettes peuvent être glissées dans des dispositifs analogiques tels que des chemises. Les dispositifs chemises-étuis et chemises-pochettes sont ainsi solidaires et amovibles. DESTINATION:The device is defined by three criteria which make it original: a support (A), variable in shape and size, adaptable to the nature and destination of the object or subject it contains, presents or represents, a classic writing in relief (B), designating, identifying, alerting, finally a Braille transcription (C), correlated and juxtaposed above or below. Thus, the device can be a letter, an envelope, a business card, identifying an Issuer if parameters (B) and (C) are used in the header. The device is adaptable to the envelope and to the letter, integral and removable, as well as the medicine box and its alert manual (2-Fig 4) The device also adapts to CD (compact audio disc) and Audio cassettes (l - Fig 2): CDs and K7 are slipped into their pockets and cases. These pockets can be slipped into analog devices such as shirts. The shirt-case and folder-shirt devices are thus integral and removable. DESTINATION:
Le dispositif répond à un besoin social, pour permettre aux Emetteurs d'objets, de sujets, de supports sonores ou de messages, de mieux communiquer à la fois avec les voyants et tous les non-voyants et malvoyants, et à ceux-ci de reconnaître plus aisément tous objets, lieux, propositions. Le dispositif répond surtout à un besoin de sécurité sanitaire, en facilitant la reconnaissance des produits de santé et des produits alimentaires, et l'alerte des risques de toxicité sur tous produits. UTILISATIONS DU MEDIA D'ALERTE ET DE SECURITE:The device responds to a social need, to allow the Emitters of objects, subjects, sound carriers or messages, to better communicate both with the sighted and all blind and visually impaired, and to them recognize more easily all objects, places, propositions.
