METHOD FOR NAVIGATION AND METHOD FOR INTEGRATING AT LEAST ONE FURTHER TRANSMITTER IN A NAVIGATION SYSTEM

摘要

The invention relates to a method for navigation, in particular a method for pedestrian navigation in a building, using a mobile electronic device and a multiplicity of transmitters arranged in the building. In addition, the invention relates to a method for integrating at least one further transmitter in a navigation system, in particular in a pedestrian navigation in a building, in which method the navigation system comprises pre-installed transmitters in addition to the further transmitter(s), at least one electronic device and an application that can run on the electronic device, wherein a floor plan of the building, the locations of the pre-installed transmitters and the identifiers of the pre-installed transmitters are saved in a database of the application.

1. A method for navigation, in particular a method for pedestrian navigation in a building, using a mobile electronic device and a plurality of transmitters arranged in the building, the method comprising the steps of:
loading into the mobile electronic device an application, wherein a floor plan of the building, a location of each of the plurality of transmitters and an identifier of each of the plurality of transmitters are saved in a database of the application, cyclical starting of a scan process, each scan process comprising the steps of:
searching for signals from transmitters that are present in a vicinity of the electronic device,detecting the identifier and a signal strength of each of the detected signals from transmitters in the vicinity of the electronic device,terminating communication with the transmitters in the vicinity of the electronic device,ascertaining the current position of the electronic device by comparing the identifiers of the detected transmitters with the locations of the transmitters saved in the database of the application,specifying more precisely the current position of the electronic device by analyzing the detected signal strengths for each of the detected transmitters,ascertaining a movement direction of the electronic device by comparing the current position of the electronic device with at least one previous position of the electronic device,outputting at least one of the ascertained current position, the ascertained movement direction and further data available on the ascertained position on a display device of the electronic device, and logging at least one of the ascertained current position and the ascertained movement direction in the database of the application.
