The method for adjusting lighting of a smart walking stick applicable to different scenarios according to claim 1, characterized in that: Activate the corresponding early warning strategy according to different risk levels. The specific steps are as follows: Step 1: Use an infrared sensor to detect obstacles ahead and mark the shortest distance to the obstacle as the obstacle detection distance. Set an obstacle safety distance threshold. When the shortest distance to the obstacle is less than or equal to the set obstacle safety distance threshold, it is determined that an obstacle exists and an obstacle warning is triggered. Step 2: Use an accelerometer to measure the movement changes of the smart cane, obtain the acceleration of the smart cane in the X direction, and set an acceleration threshold. When the acceleration of the smart cane in the X direction exceeds the set acceleration threshold, it is considered that there is a sudden acceleration change. Use the GPS sensor to detect whether it is in a busy traffic area. If a vehicle approaches or there is a sudden acceleration change, that is, the acceleration of the smart cane in the X direction exceeds the set acceleration threshold and the GPS location is in a busy traffic area, an early warning is triggered. Step 3: When a dangerous situation is detected, the smart cane can provide immediate vibration feedback to the user through the built-in vibration motor. The vibration intensity can be adjusted according to the severity of the danger. The vibration intensity value is obtained by normalizing the obstacle detection distance and acceleration. Step 4: Set several vibration levels, each corresponding to a vibration intensity range. Match the vibration intensity value with the set vibration level to obtain the current warning vibration level. To avoid false alarms or frequent triggering of unnecessary alarms, users can set the alarm trigger delay time and automatically turn off the alarm after the dangerous situation is eliminated. When the smart cane vibrates to warn, the light flashes at the same time to indicate a warning reminder.
