Recently, the development of indoor positioning technology, base station positioning, Wi - Fi positioning, and Bluetooth beacon positioning technology have been introduced in buildings and underground space. This paper introduces a technique that enables user-oriented ultra-high precision positioning by adopting a lenticular positioning technology, which is a method in which a user directly locates a user's moving line based on a provider-oriented positioning system and service. Through the study on the implementation of coverage using lenticular stickers, we will discuss how to implement coverage of lenticular stickers, which is one of the most important parts of lenticular positioning technology.

UWB(Ultra Wide Band)는 기존의 스펙트럼에 비해 매우 넓은 대역에 걸쳐 낮은 전력으로 대용량의 정보를 전송가능하며 정확성면에서 탁월하며 신호 도달거리가 길다는 장점에서 실내 위치 측위기술로 가장 적당하다. 측위 기술 방법 중 각도를 측정하여 위치를 측정 하는 AoA방식과 도착 시간을 이용해서 위치를 측정하는 ToA방식, 그리고 두 리더기간의 시간의 차를 측정하여 리더기 간의 거리차가 일정함을 통해 얻는 쌍곡선의 교점을 이용하는 TDoA방식이 가장 대표적으로 사용되고 있다. 본 논문에서는 2개의 리더기에서 AOA방법을 통한 두 각의 교점과 ToA의 두 원들과의 교점, TDOA방식의 한 쌍의 쌍곡선의 교점을 이용하여 3개의 리더기가 아닌 2개의 리더기 사용으로 리더기의 개수를 최소화 하며 위치 추적의 정확도를 높이고자 한다. UWB의 특징과 실내 위치 결정 측위 방법 소개와 더불어 Hybrid를 통하여 얻을 수 있는 효과를 설명한다.

Location-based services provide customized information or services according to the user's location. The existing localization schemes for outdoor environment are not applicable to the indoor localization system which requires higher accuracy of location estimation than that of the outdoor localization system. In this paper, we employ the received signal strength(RSS) to approximate the distance between a moving target and a reference point and use the triangulation method to estimate the location of the moving target for the indoor localization system in IEEE 802.15.4 wireless PAN(personal area network). For the indoor localization system, we propose a scheme which selects the best reference points to enhance the localization accuracy and adaptively reflects the changes in propagation environments of a moving target to the distance approximation. Through the implementation of the localization system, we have verified the performance of the proposed scheme in terms of the estimation accuracy.

스마트폰의 플랫폼화와 위치 측위 기술 및 관련 지도 DB의 개방은 위치 기반 서비스(LBS, Location Based Service)의 패러다임의 변화를 가져왔다. 위치 측위를 위한 HW의 제공, 위치 측위 API 및 프레임워크 제공, 지도 DB 및 각종 DB의 제공 등에 힘입어 LBS는 본격적인 성장을 맞이하고 있다. 또한 소셜 네트워크 서비스(SNS, Social Network Service), 증강 현실 (AR, Augmented Reality), 게임 등 다른 킬러앱과 연계하여 다양한 서비스를 제공하고 있으며 향후 안전 및 사고 예방 등의 공공적인 측면에서도 다양한 애플리케이션이 등장하고 있다. 그러나 이러한 급격한 패러다임의 변화는 개인정보 보호와 개인의 안전 및 편의성이라는 모순적인 이해관계 속에서 많은 문제점을 동시에 일으키고 있다. 본 고에서는 스마트폰이 가져온 LBS의 패러다임 변화 및 스마트폰 LBS의 기술, 서비스 방향을 정리하고 향후 과제 및 발전 방향에 대해서 살펴본다.

최근 보급되는 스마트 디바이스들은 실외뿐만 아니라 실내의 위치를 측정할 수 있는 기술들을 제공하고 있다. 실외 위치 측위 같은 경우는 기존의 GPS(Global Positioning System)를 사용하는 것이 일반적이지만, 실내 위치 측위는 기존의 GPS 방법으로는 한계가 있어 다양한 새로운 방법들이 연구 중에 있다. 그 중 가장 대표적인 방법은 BLE(Bluetooth Low Energy) 기반의 비콘(beacon)을 활용하는 것이다. 그러나 이 또한 추가적인 하드웨어가 필요할 뿐만 아니라 충전이 필요하다는 단점이 존재한다. 따라서 본 논문은 상기 단점들을 극할 수 있는 OCC(Optical Camera Communication)를 활용한 실내 위치 측위 기술을 고려한다. 특별히 공연장 내에서 관객들이 소지하고 있는 스마트 디바이스 카메라의 상대적인 위치정보를 획득하는 시스템을 제안한다. 이는 추가적인 하드웨어를 필요로 하지 않고 비동기식 접근이 가능하다는 장점이 있다. 본 논문에서 제안한 시스템을 통해 획득된 위치정보들은 촬영한 영상과 함께 저장되어 다양한 시점을 제공하는 응용데이터로 활용될 수 있을 것으로 기대한다.

Recently, users who are interested in the service at indoor spaces is increasing. An indoor positioning system can minimize a range of positioning error using a variety of wireless communication infrastructure. Also, the system improves an indoor positioning accuracy by combining a mobile communication network. However, flexible positioning technologies regardless of an environment are insufficient. Therefore, this is time for a systematic study on an indoor positioning system business model. This paper classify differences between an indoor positioning system technology and outdoor positioning system technology. And we research a construction and application of the indoor positioning system that is adapted a wireless communication system (Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, RFID, UWE, Fingerprint, etc.) in domestic and foreign. We present a successful model of indoor positioning system and the development for future systems.

In this paper, in order to minimize limitations such as signal interference and positioning errors in existing indoor positioning systems, a smart LED-based positioning system for excellent line-of-sight radio environments and precise location tracking is proposed to improve accuracy. An IEEE 802.4 Zigbee module is mounted on the SMPS board of a smart LED; RSSI and LQI signals are received from a moving tag, and the system is configured to transmit the measured data to the positioning server through a gateway. For the experiment, the necessary hardware, such as the gateway and the smart LED module, were separately designed, and the experiment was conducted after configuring the system in an external field office. The positioning error was within 70cm as a result of performing complex calculations in the positioning server after transmitting a vector value of the moving object obtained from the direction sensor, together with a signal from the moving object received by the smart LED. The result is a significantly improved positioning error, compared to an existing short-range wireless communications-based system, and shows the level at which commercial products can be implemented.

Recently location based services is being expanded into the indoor service that can not access to the outdoor location informations, such as GPS. Thus, the research and development of an indoor positioning system with BLE(Bluetooth Low Energy) iBeacon technology has expanded. However, RSSI (Received Signal Strength Indicator) that is used as the distance information between the terminal and for positioning iBeacon signal has a problem in that distortion occurs, information such as the signal attenuation and the delay due to the characteristics of radio waves. In this paper, we propose a reliable method of verifying iBeacon signal with the signal distortion problems for reliable indoor positioning systems.

GPS is the representative positioning technology for providing the location information. This technique has the disadvantage that does not operate in the shadow areas, such as urban or dense forest and the interior. This paper proposes a hybrid indoor positioning algorithm, which estimates a more accurate location of the terminal using strength of the Wi-Fi signal from the indoor AP. To determine the location of the user, we establish the most appropriate path loss model for the measurement environment. by using the RSSI value measured in a variety of environment such as building structure, person, distance, etc. The path loss exponent obtained by the path loss model is changed according to the environment. REKF, PF estimate the position of the terminal by using measured value from the AP with path loss exponent. For more accurate position estimation, we select positioning system by the value of threshold measured by experiments rather than a single positioning system. Experimental results using the proposed hybrid algorithm show that the performance is improved by about 17% than the conventional single positioning method.

The drastic growth of mobile communication and spreading of smart phone make the significant attention on Location Based Service. The one of most important things for vitalization of LBS is the accurate estimating position for mobile object. Focusing on IMU deployed in smart phone, we develop a hybrid positioning estimation framework with a combination of WPS. The developed approaches can strengthen the advantages of independent indoor applicability of IMU. The estimation of IMU is efficiently compensated by radio fingerprint based Wi-Fi Positioning System. We put a focus especially on the hybrid algorithmic framework. Compared on the existing approaches of WPS or IMU, we achieve the comparable higher performance on both of average error of estimation and deviation of errors. Furthermore test-bed based on smart phone platform is practically developed and all data have been harvested from the actual measurement of test indoor area. This can approve the practical usefulness of proposed framework.
