An integrated system for the seamless localization and specification of a position based on an indoor-outdoor conditions in ubiquitous computing environments

The growing research interest in the localization tracking system has prompted development alongside availability positioning techniques to apply to the real environment and current situation. An integrated system that can support navigation and tracking in both indoor and outdoor conditions has been equipped with location information to improve the requirement and fulfil the demand of a seamless localization system based on existing technologies. This paper proposes a system called an integrated location-aware computing system using received signal strength indicator to support the direction and location information that works together with a smart devices and integrates an indoor-outdoor environment seamlessly by combining both conditions to be the system without any obstacle. Furthermore, the technologies of indoor and outdoor will be integrated into the users. Then, they move from different conditions; the system can provide as an indicator for the complication that arises between indoor and outdoor locations, as well as location-based service technology itself. The transition between indoor and outdoor is less than 5 seconds switching at the overlapped area, the certainty value of the performance when moving from outdoor to indoor is 98.4 accuracy, from indoor moved to outdoor is 97.7 accuracy at the first floor. Moreover, having this seamless location system makes a lot of benefits to assist the users in discovering interesting things from the system, enable the seamless in real-time operation based on Android platform and providing direction maps and multi-pathways from current locations to destinations, the combination between different environments is generated with higher performance and smoothly works when users have many alternatives to choose the available signals from both indoor and outdoor technologies, transmission computation of switching from indoor to outdoor and vice versa has been decreased time consumption with excellent reliability and continuity service by proposed system. © 2020, Intelligent Network and Systems Society.
