Abstract

Indoor positioning is a hot topic these days and there is a growing need for it in public buildings such as airports, hospitals, universities or shopping malls. Indoor positioning systems should be accurate, easily available for the users, with low installation and maintenance cost, which makes development challenging. Existing systems are based on various technologies such as ultrasonic, RFID, WiFi or light encoding. Moreover, these systems are tailored to a given environment and usually rely on a single technology. This paper presents the indoor localization and navigation (ILONA) System, a flexible hybrid indoor positioning and navigation framework. The ILONA System was not designed to be a solution for a single indoor positioning task but to be a standard core component of various systems. The ILONA System provides easily available positioning and navigation services for the end users. The system can manage data from the most commonly available sensors of modern smart phones. Thus, the ILONA System can perform positioning based on various technologies. ILONA System can be established at low cost because it only requires a connection between the server and the clients and WLAN is usually available. Hence, the presented ILONA System provides a widely available, hybrid indoor positioning framework at low cost to the developers of other indoor positioning solutions.

ILONA:室内定位和导航系统

室内定位是当今的一个热门话题，在机场、医院、大学或购物中心等公共建筑中对室内定位的需求越来越大。室内定位系统需要准确、易于用户获取、安装维护成本低，这给开发带来了挑战。现有的系统基于各种技术，如超声波、RFID、WiFi或光编码。此外，这些系统是针对给定环境量身定制的，通常依赖于单一技术。提出了一种灵活的室内定位与导航混合框架——室内定位与导航系统(ILONA)。ILONA系统不是为单一的室内定位任务设计的解决方案，而是作为各种系统的标准核心组件。ILONA系统为终端用户提供方便的定位和导航服务。该系统可以管理来自现代智能手机上最常见的传感器的数据。因此，ILONA系统可以基于多种技术进行定位。ILONA系统只需在服务器和客户端之间建立连接，并且通常有无线局域网可用，因此建立ILONA系统的成本较低。因此，所提出的ILONA系统为其他室内定位解决方案的开发人员提供了一个广泛可用的低成本混合室内定位框架。

期刊介绍： The aim of this interdisciplinary and international journal is to provide a forum for the exchange of original ideas, techniques, designs and experiences in the rapidly growing field of location based services on networked mobile devices. It is intended to interest those who design, implement and deliver location based services in a wide range of contexts. Published research will span the field from location based computing and next-generation interfaces through telecom location architectures to business models and the social implications of this technology. The diversity of content echoes the extended nature of the chain of players required to make location based services a reality.
