HILF: hybrid indoor locating framework

Abstract

As smart devices with sensors have become increasingly common, several studies on indoor location tracking techniques used with smart devices have been conducted. However, current studies of indoor locating techniques possess weaknesses based on the type of resources these techniques employ. In this paper, we propose a hybrid indoor locating framework for tracking a device's current location by using step detection and Wi-Fi fingerprinting. The framework thus introduces a technique that combines the use of two resources.
