See full text

A cane includes a cane body, a controller, and a light source. The controller changes the blinking frequency F of the light source to blink the light source according to the usage situation of the cane by the user. The usage situation is the swing speed SP of the cane. The controller blinks the light source with a higher blinking frequency F the faster the swing speed SP of the cane. The acceleration of the cane is measured by the acceleration sensor, and the swing speed is calculated by a computing unit based on the measured acceleration.
