With the development of mobile internet, requirements of positioning accuracy for the LBS (Location Based Service) are becoming more and more higher. The LBS is based on the position of each mobile device. So, it requires a proper acquisition of accurate user's indoor position. Thus indoor positioning technology and its accuracy is crucial for various LBS. In general, RSSI (Received Signal Strength Indicator) measurements are used to obtain the position information of mobile unit under WLAN environment. However, indoor positioning error increases as multiple AP's configurations are becoming more complex. To overcome this problem, an enhanced indoor localization method by AP (Access Point) selection criteria adopting DOP (Dilution of Precision) is proposed.

Due to an increase in the number of large-scale and high rise buildings, the importance of indoor location information has been highlighted. As a result, seamless three-dimensional space information, linked to various indoor and outdoor services is required. The purpose of this study is to develop a system which can edit and operate indoor space information using the IndoorGML(Geography Markup Language). It provides functions such as converting and editing authoring indoor space using the IndoorGML. Based on defined schema which is the IndoorGML international standardization work, we develop the "Editor" and "Viewer" for the IndoorGML. When indoor space is modeled in an authoring tool, a variety of topologies can be created automatically. These are available to be edited and modified. Moreover, the file of model can be saved as IndoorGML, SBM and KML file. These files are viewed by the "Viewer". Indoor LBS(Location Based Service)is served with these principles.

The demand for LBS (Location Based Services) is increasing in the development of communication and mobile technologies. Positioning technology is a core technology for LBS, because LBS is based on a position of each device or user. But positioning technology especially for indoor environments is getting a lot of attention. Indoor positioning errors usually occur seriously in indoor environments where APs (Access Points) are set in a very concentrated and complex arrangement. In order to reduce indoor positioning errors, we adopt DOP (Dilution of Precision) which reflects an APs configuration information. In this paper, we propose an enhanced indoor positioning method using IEEE 802.11 RSSI measurements and AP configuration information.

Location-based service (LBS) is becoming an important part of the information technology (IT) business. Localization is a core technology for LBS because LBS is based on the position of each device or user. In case of outdoor, GPS - which is used to determine the position of a moving user - is the dominant technology. As satellite signal cannot reach indoor, GPS cannot be used in indoor environment. Therefore, research and study about indoor localization technology, which has the same accuracy as an outdoor GPS, is needed for "seamless LBS". For indoor localization, we consider the IEEE802.11 WLAN environment. Generally, received signal strength indicator (RSSI) is used to obtain a specific position of the user under the WLAN environment. RSSI has a characteristic that is decreased over distance. To use RSSI at indoor localization, a mathematical model of RSSI, which reflects its characteristic, is used. However, this RSSI of the mathematical model is different from a real RSSI, which, in reality, has a sensitive parameter that is much affected by the propagation environment. This difference causes the occurrence of localization error. Thus, it is necessary to set a proper RSSI model in order to obtain an accurate localization result. We propose a method in which the parameters of the propagation environment are determined using only RSSI measurements obtained during localization.

Rendering maps is an essential feature of the user interface component of a location based service (LBS) system. However, a developer may not too much worry about implementing the rendering maps part of his or her system because there are quite a few publicly available libraries that provide all kinds of functions of manipulating maps. Google Maps, Yahoo Map, Naver Map, Daum Map, and so on are example sites that provide those libraries. Rendering drawings is to indoor LBS as rendering maps is to LBS. However, there is no such thing as Google Maps that provides libraries for rendering drawings. This paper introduces a few web services and a library that is useful in developing user interfaces of indoor LBS systems.

위치기반 서비스는 사용자의 지리적인 현재 위치를 기반으로 사용자에게 제공되는 서비스를 일컫는다. 위치기반 서비스는 고부가가치를 제공하기 때문에 기업, 산업, 그리고 개인 생활에까지 널리 적용되고 있다. 사용자의 위치 판단(측위)은 위치기반 서비스 시스템 구축에 반드시 필요한 요소 기술이다. GPS로 인하여 건물 외부에서의 측위는 성공적으로 실용되고 있으나, 옥내 측위는 많은 전략이 발표되었음에도 불구하고 일반적인 해법이 아직도 존재하지 않는다. 성공적인 옥내 측위 해법이 존재하지 않는 이유 중 하나는 현존하는 대부분의 측위 전략이 전적으로 측위에만 사용되는 특수 장치를 사용하기 때문이다. 본 논문에서는 부가적인 장비를 사용하지 않는 옥내 측위 전략을 소개한다. 또한, 제안하는 옥내 측위 전략과 GPS 기반의 옥외 측위 방법을 통합하여 옥내외 겸용 측위 시스템을 구축하고, 이 시스템의 실험 결과를 소개한다.

Recently, indoor LBS has been attracting much attention because of its promising prospect. One of key technologies for its success is indoor location estimation. A popular one for indoor positioning is to find the location based on the strength of received Wi-Fi signals. Since the Wi-Fi services are currently prevalent, it can perform indoor positioning without any further infrastructure. However, it is found that its accuracy depends heavily on the surrounding radio environment. To alleviate this difficulty, we present a novel indoor position technique employing the geomagnetic characteristics as well as Wi-Fi signals. The geomagnetic characteristic is known to vary according to the location. Therefore, employing the geomagnetic signal in addition to Wi-Fi signals is expected to improve the location estimation accuracy.

Location Based Service (LBS) provides high-value added service to users and various works about IBS have been actively performed. The core technology or LBS is positioning of the users. In the field of positioning, outdoor positioning and indoor positioning are developed separately. We are proposing a design of an outdoor-indoor positioning system, implementing a prototype of the system, and verifying the usefulness of the system through experiments. Our experimental results shows that the average error of our system is 4.8 m in the case of out-door positioning and it is 3.3 m in the case of in-door positioning.
