Abstract(in English) In a walking support system for the visually impaired, if the system can predict which way the next step will be taken, it will be possible to provide more advanced and safer walking support. In this paper, we call this next step prediction. In this study, we investigate a method to realize next step prediction using an IMU on a smartphone, and discuss the possibility of next step prediction. Since it is difficult for a person to walk while holding a smartphone steadily against body, next step prediction using only an IMU is considered to be a ill-posed problem. In this study, we assume that there is a pattern in the sway of a visually impaired person's gait. In order to learn the pattern, we prepare a training dataset and aim to realize next step prediction. In this report, we use time series data consisting of smartphone IMU output and smartphone position pairs for learning. Experimental results show the accuracy of next step prediction by training on an open dataset.
