Using ZigBee and Room-Based Location Technology to Constructing an Indoor Location-Based Service Platform

Abstract

In recent years, under the advancement of mobile communication technology and popularization of information technology, diversified value added services have emerged. Location-based services (LBS) is an application of information and Internet integrated technology that has been developed rapidly in recent years. This study utilized a room-based indoor location mode to construct a wireless sensor network location-oriented service platform. This platform could meet the indoor location search by combining the ZigBee wireless location technology. Based on the concept of LBS, the indoor location-oriented service could be realized by combining the ZigBee location technology and room-based location mode, in order to achieve a ubiquitous campus environment. Users only need to utilize ZigBee Tag with PDA, and a wireless network to log in this information platform, so as to receive the services of ubiquitous campus. The preliminary study has completed this information platform, and implemented it in this campus environment with satisfactory results.
