Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of tour guide technology, and more specifically, it relates to an intelligent tour guide based on ESP32. Background Technology

[0002] In recent years, the rapid development of artificial intelligence technology has profoundly impacted all sectors of society, especially in smart cultural tourism and educational informatization, where it has shown great potential. It has been clearly proposed to promote the deep integration of AI, IoT and other technologies with culture and education, accelerate digital transformation, promote the inheritance of traditional culture through innovative means, and enhance the practicality and fun of science and technology education.

[0003] However, the limitations of traditional tour guide systems have become a bottleneck for the industry's development. Their core pain points are: positioning technology relies on a single GPS device, resulting in insufficient accuracy (≥10 meters) in complex environments; interaction methods are limited to pre-recorded audio or simple touch controls, lacking dynamic response capabilities; and the closed system architecture makes hardware expansion difficult, leading to high update and maintenance costs. These problems severely restrict the improvement of the quality of smart cultural tourism services. Utility Model Content

[0004] To address the aforementioned technical problems, this utility model provides an intelligent tour guide based on ESP32, which solves the problems of existing positioning technologies relying on a single GPS, having insufficient accuracy (≥10 meters) in complex environments, and having interaction methods limited to pre-recorded audio or simple touch control, lacking dynamic response capabilities.

[0005] The technical solution adopted in this utility model is as follows:

[0006] The intelligent tour guide based on ESP32 includes a main body. The main body is composed of an ESP32-S3 chip and a horizontal board K10. It includes a main control unit, a vision module, a GNSS / BeiDou positioning module, a voice module, and an interaction module. The main control unit uses the ESP32-S3 chip, the vision module uses a GC2145 camera, the GNSS / BeiDou positioning module is an ESP32-S3 chip with built-in WIFI + GNSS / BeiDou positioning, the voice module uses an ES7243E, and the interaction module uses an ILI9341 color LCD capacitive touchscreen with a 2.8-inch 240x320 resolution. The rear end of the main body is attached to the front end of the reset protective frame.

[0007] According to one embodiment of the present invention, a magnetic connector is provided at the middle of the rear end of the reset protection frame, and a sliding plate is slidably connected to both the upper and lower sides of the inner middle of the reset protection frame.

[0008] According to one embodiment of the present invention, two spring members are connected to the outer side of the two sliding plates, and the other ends of the four spring members are all connected to the inner wall of the reset protection frame.

[0009] According to one embodiment of the present invention, a hook is rotatably connected to each of the left and right sides of the sliding plate, and the four hooks are attached to the four corners of the main body of the intelligent tour guide.

[0010] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0011] Employing the WIFI+GNSS BeiDou positioning module integrated into the ESP32-S3 chip, this system changes the traditional reliance on GPS alone. In complex environments, GNSS BeiDou positioning technology effectively improves positioning accuracy, overcoming the problem of traditional positioning errors ≥10 meters. It achieves precise point identification and trajectory recording, providing users with more accurate location information. Whether in indoor venues or scenic areas with significant signal obstruction, it can accurately determine the user's location, thereby improving the quality of the tour guide service.

[0012] The interactive module uses a 2.8-inch 240x320 color LCD capacitive touchscreen (ILI9341) that supports gesture operation, allowing users to operate intuitively and conveniently. The voice module uses an ES7243E that integrates Baidu's UNIT platform's NLP technology, featuring speech recognition and synthesis as well as AI dialogue capabilities. It supports offline speech recognition and dynamic dialogue. This diverse interactive approach breaks through the limitations of traditional guided tours that are confined to pre-recorded audio or simple touch controls, achieving dynamic response interaction. Users can communicate naturally and fluently with the guide via voice to obtain the information they need, enhancing the user experience's fun and interactivity.

[0013] The vision module uses a GC2145 camera and is based on the YOLOv5s model to achieve offline rapid recognition of QR codes and scenes with a response time of ≤2 seconds. This allows users to quickly obtain real-time explanation services by scanning a specified QR code or by automatic detection and positioning. The operation is simple and fast, which greatly improves the efficiency of information acquisition and meets the needs of users to quickly obtain explanation content in different scenarios.

[0014] Equipped with a reset protection frame, the internal sliding plate, spring components, and hooks work together to firmly lock the main body of the smart tour guide in place at the four corners, effectively preventing the guide from being accidentally dropped and damaged. The magnetic connector at the rear of the reset protection frame can magnetically connect and reset with the magnetic position when the guide is put back in place, making it convenient for storage and further protecting the equipment and extending its service life.

[0015] The hardware architecture consisting of ESP32-S3 and K10 board offers better scalability compared to traditional closed tour guide system architectures. The ESP32-S3 main control unit chip has the effect of a Wi-Fi + low-power Bluetooth MCU module, which provides convenient conditions for subsequent function expansion and hardware upgrades, reduces update and maintenance costs, and is better able to adapt to the ever-evolving technological needs of the smart cultural tourism industry, thus promoting the continuous innovation and optimization of smart cultural tourism services.
