Abstract: The present invention relates to a system and method for guiding the walking directions of a blind person using RFID blocks and, more particularly, to a system and method for guiding the walking directions of a blind person using RFID blocks, wherein an RFID reader wirelessly senses RF tags embedded in the blocks so as to guide walking directions by means of vibrations, buzzer sounds, and voice messages for guiding entry/exit directions, according to the types of pedestrian zones when a blind person walks along the blocks. The guiding system comprises: RFID tags for guiding the walking of a blind person; a plurality of blocks embedded in sidewalks which are divided into a junction zone block, a junction neighboring zone block and a general pedestrian zone block; a walking cane for receiving pedestrian zone information from the RFID tags in the plurality of blocks and outputting vibrations, sound effects and voice messages for guiding walking directions.
