1) The document provides instructions for collecting Wi-Fi and Bluetooth sensor data throughout a building to create a positioning database using a mobile app. 2) Users walk throughout the building twice in each direction, placing location markers on a floor plan as they go to associate the collected sensor data with locations. 3) Once all paths have been covered, the collected data is synchronized to a server to complete the database for indoor positioning.
A “How to” - gather data and test an OmniAccess Stellar LBS Campus network
- 1. 1 How to collect data and test OmniAccess Stellar LBS Campus?
- 2. 2 2 You are halfway to setting up OmniAccess Stellar LBS Campus Indoor Location solution. Venue modeling done. Data collection to do.
- 3. 3 3 The aim is to create a positioning database (PDB) from the collected sensory data of the whole venue. e.g : Wi-Fi or Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) power levels
- 4. 4 4 For positioning on Android, existing Wi-Fi infrastructure can be used For positioning on iOS, our BLE beacons are required Our BLE beacons can also be used if your Wi-Fi network is not dense enough. BLE-based positioning only works on Android 4.3+
- 5. 5 5 Once your Wi-Fi and/or BLE infrastructure is ready. You can go collect measurements in the building.
- 6. 6 6 To collect measurements, you’ll walk everywhere in the building twice (forth, back, forth, back) with our setup mobile app running on your smartphone
- 7. 7 7 The app displays the floor plans. While walking, every once in a while, place a waypoint at your current location on the floor plans. The system will associate the sensory data collected along the way with your locations and will generate a Positioning Database.
- 8. 8 8 A: When you… Q: So when exactly do I have to place a waypoint at my current location on the floor plans? stop walking change direction are at a path Intersection
- 9. 9 9 A: While still walking… Q: And How? 2. Press the marker button 1. Drag to put the green dot on your current position Here, I have walked all the dark green paths left the blue part to cover.
- 10. 10 10 Our setup mobile app is called OmniAccess Stellar LBS installer, available on Google Play and Apple App Store The one on Google Play can be used for both Wi-Fi and BLE deployment. The one on Apple App Store only is used for BLE deployment. Stellar LBS Installer
- 11. 11 11 1. Authenticate yourself 2. Select your venue 3. Let it download itself0. Install then launch OmniAccess Stellar LBS Installer Then we arrive at the main screen… Stellar LBS Installer
- 12. 12 12 Number of BLE or Wi-Fi beacons detected Start or stop collecting data Downstairs maps Level number Synchronize data with server For data collection For positioning testing Path left to walk Path already walked
- 14. 14 14 The Start button changed to Stop The Marker button appeared The green dot should be your current location when you press the Marker button
- 15. 15 15 Now, imagine right now your are at A and you want to collect data from A to B
- 16. 16 16 2 markers now 1. Press Marker button to tell you are at A 2. Start walking toward B 3. While walking, drag the maps so that the green dot glides to B 4. When you arrive at B, press Marker a second time and continue walking toward another point Note: no need to stop when pressing Marker button A B
- 17. 17 17 The blue path is walked one way (A to B) If you now collect data from B to A, the blue path will be entirely covered in green A B
- 18. 18 18 Continue collecting data until all blue paths turn green. Then press the Stop button to save the data Note: You can use Stop / restart whenever you want to take a break.
- 19. 19 19 Do not forgot to collect data on floor transitions (stairs, escalators, elevators, etc) A B 1. Press Marker at A 2. Take the stairs or escalators 3. Press Downstairs button 4. Press Marker at B
- 20. 20 20 Once all the walkable paths are green, press Synchronize to send collected data to the server.
- 21. 21 21 Switch to the Demo Mode in the application, let the system download the Positioning Database. You are now located by the app the blue dot shows your location
