Operatingsystem Android4.0
By means of the set of programs Android NativeDevelopment Kit and Android SDK (SoftwareDevelopment Kit) the following applications are developed:
1. Google Mapsfor the blind - Software Google MapB.
The route is set in the Google MapB menu, and thebuilt-in GPS&GLONASS chip positions the pedestrian in the surroundings. Theresets the RFID module near the entrance, by means of which there establishes communicationwith the smartphone through the wi-fi module, which makes it easy to find theentrance (Fig. 3). The diagram L from t shows the signal level in earphones at themoment of approaching to the sensor. In the beginning the signal is feeble anddiscontinuous but in the process of approaching to the wi-fi module the signalamplifies. At the moment when the user is near the module and the smartphone ison the straight line with the module the signal becomes constant.
