METHOD OF GUIDING USER FROM INITIAL POSITION TO DESTINATION IN PUBLIC AREA Russian patent published in 2014 - IPC G01C21/20 

FIELD: physics, optics.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to instrument making and can be used in systems for programmed positioning and orientation of mobile objects. A user is guided from an initial position to a destination, chosen from a plurality of possible destinations, in a public area over which is distributed a plurality of lighting devices, each of which can be driven to render one or more light patterns from a plurality of light patterns. The chosen destination is determined by obtaining a destination descriptor from the user. A specific light pattern is selected from the plurality of light patterns for the chosen destination. The user is provided with a pattern (V_T) of the specific light pattern selected for the required destination such that the selected lighting devices (L₁, L₂, …, L_n) between the initial position (S) of the user (1) and the destination render the specific light pattern.

EFFECT: broader functional capabilities.
