1. Introduction to the I-Cane Mobilo® (handle, tactile arrow, push
buttons, sensor, Comfy Wheel®, parts of the foldable cane)
1.1 The I-Cane Mobilo® consists of a handle with tactile arrow, push buttons,
obstacle sensor , folding cane with Comfy Wheel®, charger and a storage
cord. The handle contains the electronics and a rechargeable battery.
1.2 The navigation program for the I-Cane Mobilo® consists of the I-Cane
Go® App. This program is installed on a Smartphone.
1.3 The I-Cane Mobilo® distinguishes itself from a normal white cane by the
tactile arrow in the handle. This tactile arrow tilts as a warning with
regard to height obstacles and turns as an indication of the direction to
be followed.
1.4 The user of an I-Cane Mobilo® places the thumb or index finger lightly on
top of the tactile arrow, so that tilting and turning movements can be
noticed.
1.5 Tilting the tactile arrow upwards means that an obstacle has been
detected above the Comfy Wheel® and that the user must stop or divert
in order not to collide.
1.6 A horizontal rotation of the tactile arrow means a directional indication.
The tactile arrow has 4 basic directions: ' Go straight ahead ' , ' Go left ' ,
' Go right ' and ' Go back ' . There are separate turning movements for '
Start ' and ' Destination Reached ' .
1.7 The vertical tilt is activated by the sensor (sonar) that is placed in the flat
part of the handle. This sensor constantly scans the area above the
Comfy Wheel® and detects obstacles that arise there.
1.8 The rotations are controlled by the I-Cane Go® navigation program
(I-Cane App) on the Smartphone .
1.9 Movements of the arrow feel at height obstacles and changes in
direction can be accommodated both together.
1.10 All movements of the tactile arrow are supported by audio signals in
spoken and / or 'beep' form.
1.11 On the handle of the I-Cane Mobilo® , between the tactile arrow and the
sensor, are two tactile push buttons. These are intended to switch the I-
Cane Mobilo® on and off and to perform functions such as the ' where
am I? ' position.
1.12 On top of the handle, there are three indication LEDs . The outer ones
relate to the charging of the battery. One LED with red light indicates
charging and the other LED with blue light indicating that the battery is
fully charged. These LEDs only light up with a connected charger . The
