Abstract:
In order to guide a person along a path, audible acoustic signals are used, which are generated by signal generators arranged in an area. The person can orient themselves in the area using these acoustic signals. As the person moves along the path towards a destination, the signal generator arranged next in line on the path generates an acoustic signal, in which direction the person can then move. A signal generator generates an acoustic signal of this type, when it receives a control command from a mobile device carried with the person or from a control device.

Claim (Index 10):
A system for guiding a person in an area, comprising:\n a mobile device; a plurality of signal generators, which are arranged at fixed locations in the area, and a processor having a software program for guidance, which is executable in the processor, wherein in operation the processor: determines a current position of a mobile device in the area, wherein the current position is determined when the mobile device receives data from a first signal generator, wherein the data, which are stored in a data record of a database along with a location of the first signal generator, are used to obtain the location of the first signal generator from the data record; detects a second signal generator, which is the next one that will be reached by the mobile device starting from the current position; and sends a control command to the detected second signal generator, wherein the control command causes the detected second signal generator to generate a perceptible signal.
