Abstract

A system and method are provided for utilizing a device positioned at or near a signage plate to provide non-visual assistance in approaching the signage plate's location when activated by a digital signal. A venue might improve accessibility by installing the invented device next to or even behind one or more restroom signs. A visitor using this accessibility feature might utilize a fob provided by the venue or a personal device such as a smartphone with a compatible app, such that the visitor can press a button and activate the invented device to generate a non-visual cue to assist the visitor in locating the device and associated sign, such as emitting an audio sound. The fob or phone might further provide additional guidance, such as emitting the same sound as the sign device so that the visitor knows what sound to listen for, or providing additional information.
