Kapten

The Kapten application is primarily a navigation system designed for visually impaired people. It relies on the Global Positioning System (GPS) to make your journey easier and improve your mobility thanks to its content rich features, such as geo localization, navigation, and map discovery. In addition, Kapten will allow you to save your preferred points of interest to guide you there whenever you want. These points of interest are called K-Tags. Finally, upon map downloads, the Kapten data are stored on SmartVision2, so you can use this application without an internet connection

Disclaimer

The Kapten application is a navigation assistance system based on SmartVision2ʼs positioning system, intended for pedestrians, but it can also be used in a car. During a navigation session, please respect the warnings described herein. Whatever your travel mode, navigation instructions given by the Kapten application should not free you from respecting the road traffic rules and behave responsibly. Your attention should be focused primarily on your environment. Stay alert and attentive during your trip and respect other users, either pedestrians, cyclists, motorcyclists, or motorists. Finally, use common sense before obeying a navigation instruction from the Kapten application. Carefully observe the signs and the geometry of sidewalks and streets. If you are unable to take the direction indicated by the Kapten application, it will automatically recalculate your trip from your new position. Please note that this product relies on the positioning system of your Smartphone. Accurate determination of your position depends on the GPS signal strength, which depends heavily on your environment, where you are, how you carry your handset, and on digital mapping data. Thus, KAPSYS cannot guarantee that the instructions given by the navigation system are accurate. The Kapten application is not operational until the GPS feature is activated. If the GPS is not active, you will be requested to activate it upon starting the application.

NFC

NFC (Near Field Communication) technology enables the SmartVision2 and a

secondary device, such as a Smartphone or an electronic tag, to establish communication by bringing them closer together. NFC can also be used to share contacts, photos, and videos. Moreover, SmartVision2 allows you to program and read your NFC tags and perform the associated action.

How does the NFC application work?

The NFC application of SmartVision2 works with compatible NFC electronic tags. By default, 3 NFC tags are provided in the SmartVision2 box. These NFC tags can contain personalized information such as text, voice memo, phone number, or settings. The NFC application allows you to record information on these labels directly from your SmartVision2 in a few steps. You must first write the information on the NFC Tag via the SmartVision2 NFC application. Once the label is programmed, simply put the back of the phone on the label to vocalize the information or launch the action recorded in the tag. This allows for example to make object recognition, find a folder, know the dosage of a medicine, call a contact, quickly enable or disable a setting, etc.

Record an action into your NFC electronic tag

Choose the information you want to record into the NFC tag. The associated action will be performed as soon as SmartVision2 recognizes the tag. The available options are:

Dial: associates a telephone number with a contact and later launch a call

Profile setting: allows you to associate the tag with a phone setting (Wi-Fi,

Bluetooth, Airplane mode, ringer) and later activate it

Application: allows you to associate the tag with an application and later activate

the application

Internet bookmark: allows you to associate the tag with an internet link and browse

the page using the Internet browser

Text: allows you to enter a text into the tag and later vocalize it

Set Wi-Fi: associates the tag with your Wi-Fi network settings (Name and

password) and later connect to your Wi-Fi network automatically.

Voice memo: allows you to associate the tag with a voice memo and later listen to

it.

Once the information is selected and completed, use the navigation arrows to reach the "Write" button and confirm with "OK". Approach the back of the SmartVision2 on the label to transfer the information. An audible signal is emitted to confirm the registration of the information on the label.

Once the recording done, put or paste the label on the support you want (folder, medicine box, corner table etc.).

Good to know: NFC tags can be reused. Memorizing the new information into a NFC tag will simply erase the previous one Good to know: SmartVision2 is compatible with any type of NFC tags. There are different sizes of tags corresponding to different sizes of memories. SmartVision2 comes with 3 “NTAG 216” tags of 888 bytes.

51 / 85

This corresponds to approximately 400 characters for a text message.

Read an NFC tag

Itʼs not necessary to open the NFC application to read a NFC tag. Simply place the back of

the smartphone on the NFC tag at any time. SmartVision 2 will initiate the communication with the tag and perform the action associated with the tag as described above.

OCR

Introduction

OCR (Optical Character Recognition) application allows you to convert a printed text to a digital text document and to vocalize its contents. The application uses the rear camera of the SmartVision2, two-LED lighting system and a proximity sensor. To scan a printed text, OCR application proceeds as follows:

Step 1: Take a picture

Step 2: Convert the picture to a text document in the desired language using the OCR engine

Step 3: Vocalize the contents of the text document using the text-to-speech engine A good image quality is essential for a successful recognition process. To take a superior quality picture, SmartVision2 integrates a special lighting system as well as a proximity sensor in combination with specific algorithms.

OCR

What is OCR?

The OCR function allows you to perform optical character recognition from a text document and then to vocalize the content.

How does it work?

The operation is simple, the SmartVision2 takes a picture of a document and then converts the photo into text. The speech synthesis then vocalizes the content of the document that has been scanned.

How can the OCR result be improved?

The OCR application is equipped with a document recognition system able to correctly convert a A4 document with fonts larger than or equal to 12. The quality of the OCR result mainly depends on the capture quality of the document. To improve the quality of the capture of the document, please follow the below recommendations:

Make sure you have a good contrast between the document being scanned and

your media: for example, a white document on a dark table or on a colored tablecloth would be ideal.

The SmartVision2 will detect the edges of the document to take the picture. Once all

four sides of the document are in its field of view, the photo will be taken automatically.

Make sure to be as horizontal as possible and stay as centered as possible when

scanning a document. If you deviate too far from the center of the sheet, SmartVision2 will not be able to automatically detect the contours of the document.

Make sure you have good brightness. Character recognition will not be optimal if

shadows hide the text of the document.

Be sure to stand still while taking the picture. Character recognition will not be good

if the picture is blurry.

Limitation of OCR

Although OCR scanning technology has increased rapidly over the years, no OCR software is 100% accurate. There are limitations with respect to source materials and formatting of characters:

The number of errors depends on the quality and type of document, including the

font used.

Text from a source with a font size less than 12 points will cause more errors.

Text with a low contrast between the font color and the color of the background

paper may become impossible to scan.

74 / 85

No handwriting is recognized.

Characters with a blurred outline will generate errors.

Text of glossy papers generates more errors.

Unwanted reflections on the scan page will cause errors.

How to save the OCR result?

About Specific Energy Absorption Rate

Your SmartVision2 is a wireless transmitter/receiver. It has been designed and manufactured to comply with the radiofrequency (RF) exposure thresholds recommended by the European Union. This device meets the EU requirements (1999/519/EC) on the limitation of exposure of the general public to electromagnetic fields by way of health protection. The unit of

measurement for European councilʼs recommended limit for mobile telephones is the “Specific Absorption Rate” (SAR). This SAR limit is 2.0 W/kg averaged over 10 g of body

tissue. This device meets the requirements of the International Commission on NonIonizing Radiation Protection (ICNIRP) and European Standard EN 62209-1 / EN 62209-2 for mobile radio devices.

For body-worm operation, this phone has been tested use with accessories that contain no metal and that position the handset a minimum of 1.5 cm from the body. Use of other accessories may not ensure compliance with RF exposure. If you do not use a body-worm accessory and are not holding the phone at the ear, position the handset a minimum of 1.5 cm from your body when phone is switched on.

83 / 85

During use, the actual SAR level is usually much lower than the maximum value. In general, the closer you are to the base station, the lower the transmission output of your mobile telephone. To reduce exposure to RF energy, use a hands-free accessory or other similar option to keep the device away from your head and your body. The highest SAR value of this device is listed below:

- Head: 0.178 W/Kg (averaged over 10g of body tissue)

- Body: 1.148 W/Kg (averaged over 10g of body tissue)
