Do you ever feel lost in a shopping mall or labyrinthine office building? Imagine a system that could guide you to your destination with pinpoint accuracy, even indoors. That is where Indoor Positioning Systems (IPS) come!
Although GPS has revolutionized in outdoor navigation, its reliance on satellite signals makes it ineffective indoors. Building blocks these signals, resulting in GPS being useless in indoor spaces.
How does IPS Work?
IPS System uses a network of Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) devices placed in an indoor environment. These devices act as virtual beacons, emitting signals that can be detected by our smartphones.
“As technology continues to advance, we can expect IPS systems to become accurate, reliable, and integrated into our daily lives. From smart cities to retail spaces,” said I Gede Putra Kusuma Negara, the innovative mind behind this technology.
To pinpoint your location, the system analyzes the signal received from different devices. Then, this data is processed using deep learning algorithms, which can estimate your position accurately based on the patterns in the signal strengths.
IPS has many applications, including:
- Indoor Navigation: Guiding visitors through complex buildings like airports, hospitals, and shopping malls.
- Asset Tracking: Tracking the valuable equipment or inventory within the building.
- Employee Monitoring: Tracking employee movements for productivity analysis.
- Security Monitoring: Detecting suspicious activities.
