Abstract
The Smart Cane System is developed to inform the location for people who are visually impaired. This system adopts GS1 and EPCIS to manage the surrounding information with the standard. The system suggests that the unique key could be collected from the Braille block via RFID and send to EPCIS server to notice the location. The Smart cane sends the key to the mobile application through Bluetooth. The EPCIS server communicates with the mobile application and manages GLN (Global Location Number) key for the location of the Braille block and GTIN (Global Trade Item Number) key for the registered blind. The mobile application receives the surrounding information of the Braille block where the blind is from the server. Using the GS1 key and EPCIS system ensures that the Smart Cane system can be used internationally.
