Design And Implementation Of Shopping Mall Indoor Positioning And Navigation System Based On BLE

Nowadays, the traditional industry is facing a lot of challenges. So, if it wants to take crown in the era of information, it is, to a large extent, depends on the progress of science and technology. While science and technology innovation such as big data anglytics, precision marketing, and improvement of users experience and so on will make the process of traditional industry to contribute in the future, the indoor positioning and navigation technology with commerical application is for the informationizationn of various traditional industries. Though having been a longtime weakness of navigation technology, indoor positioning and navigation technology can be the most efficient catalyst to stimulate a business model. Compared with the previous WiFi positioning technology, the low power-consumed bluetooth 4.0 is available to navigate with higher precision, lower power consumption and cost. In the meantime, the ibeacon agreement proposed by Apple Inc. will be in an immportant step forward in the commercialization of low power-consumed bluetooth 4.0.This paper analyzes the research status of the current indoor positioning and navigation technology. It is that by using low power Bluetooth 4.0 technology and through inducing the broadcast signal of low power Bluetooth devices "cloud" arranged in specific sites by mobile phone App, the mobile phone can get the navigation path and coordinate, so as to provide customers with mall positioning and navigation service, reverse searching cars service, push messages service, shopping services and so on.The main originalities of this paper as following:(1). Key technologies involved in the research process of indoor positioning and navigation system included the technology of low power-consumed bluetooth 4.0, positionong and navigation technology, and the Android development platform. Compared to the traditional WiFi positioning technology, the indoor localization based on BLE technology of low power-consumed bluetooth 4.0 has improved navigation accuracy and response time.(2). Problems such as how to transmit mall activities information to consumers accurately, and help consumers find the vehicle as soon as possible as well as speed up the parking lot vehicle flow are all be discussed. Based on the whole structure of system framework and design, the functional module design is presented.(3). Functions achieved in Android client contain parking management, VRLSMAN, store navigation, business activities, and push server.etc. Functions like mall map editor, accurate statistics, and basic data maintenance are involved in server.
