Abstract(in English) In this paper, we propose a support system for the visually impaired. This system helps the visually impaired walk alone or find something lost. It is composed of a digital-camera and potable telephones. When the visually impaired wants to help, he takes a picture around there using the digital-camera. Then the picture is compressed and sent to the supporter by the potable telephone. The supporter watches the received picture and understands his situation, and then he can advise about the trouble. We consider what situation of the visually impaired can be supported and examine its performance, transfer rate and quantity of data. We confirm that this system is useful, and it can support the visually impaired.
