SYSTEM FOR PROVIDING LOCATION RELEVANT INFORMATION

摘要

A system for providing location relevant information to users of a plurality of mobile devices within a multi-storey building. A plurality of transmitters are located in different locations across multiple floors of the building. Each transmitter transmits a signal for identifying the location of its associated transmitter and signals transmitted at least by transmitters located on the same floor share at least one common transmission parameter. The mobile devices each run software that identifies signals received substantially concurrently from the transmitters, determining the closest transmitter, and then displays on the mobile device location relevant information associated with that location.

1. A system for providing location relevant information to users of a plurality of mobile devices within a multi-storey building, the system comprising:
a plurality of transmitters located in different locations across multiple floors of the building, each transmitter for transmitting a signal for identifying the location of its associated transmitter, and wherein signals transmitted at least by transmitters located on the same floor share at least one common transmission parameter; and software for running on the plurality of mobile devices, the software being operable on each mobile device for:
identifying signals received substantially concurrently from two or more of the plurality of transmitters;determining the closest transmitter on the same floor as the mobile device based at least in part on the at least one common transmission parameter of received signals from the two or more of the plurality of transmitters; anddisplaying on the mobile device location relevant information associated with the location of the determined closest transmitter.
