Hi there, and welcome aboard my Project BLE (Bluetooth Low Energy) based indoor navigation system Open Hardware Makers cohort two projects. I decided to publish my Project online because I hope it will benefit others, and because I’m really proud of it! Have a look and contact me with questions, comments or any contribution.
Statement of the problem.
Knowledge Meets Curiosity
There have been many navigation systems which are more reliable for outdoor navigation purposes. Most of these systems like the Global Positioning System (GPS) fails to offer sufficient information for indoor navigation purposes. You may ask yourself, 'why? ' this is simply because they all rely on satellite signals for positioning which are too weak to penetrate into buildings. To overcome this problem an idea of BLE based indoor navigation system is fulfilling the insufficient gap.
Proposed solution.
Knowledge Meets Curiosity
Bluetooth Low Energy technology is one of the NFC technology which ulnike other NFCs it consumes relatively low power. Also it's a server-client based NFC that can be used for navigation purposes. How? It's by having multiple BLE servers mounted on a building and configure a BLE client on a mobile application. The RSSIs on the mobile application accompanied by server's UUIDs can be used to pinpoint the user in a 2D space of the building.
