WPS(Wifi Positioning System) conducts positioning using wireless signals scattered in real world. This process is divided into two stages: Construction Stage that collects information on wireless signals for determining location and constructs a radio map and Positioning Stage that compares the constructed information with the collected information on wireless signals. WPS lowers the accuracy of positioning if changes occur to the collected signals during positioning. PDR have recently been studied. IPS is a system designed to find out the final destination by analyzing pedestrian's no. of gait, travel range, and direction through inertial sensors. If the positioning results of WPS appear in more than two locations, it can be thought as the problem of positioning accuracy. In some cases, problems occur. In this respect, this study analyzes the situations in which the problem as mentioned above occurs and proposes a system to solve this problem through PDR.

위치기반서비스는 기본적으로 사용자의 위치를 파악해야 한다. 측위방법은 옥외용과 옥내용으로 구분되며, 옥외용에는 GPS 방법, 이동통신망을 이용한 방법, GPS와 이동통신망을 복합적으로 활용한 방법이 있고 옥내용에는 RF 신호를 이용한 RADAR가 있다. GPS 방법은 미 국방성의 선택적 제공 때문에 큰 오차가 불가피하다. 한편 RADAR 방식은 오차가 작으나 옥내에서만 적용이 가능하다. 근래에는 대학 캠퍼스마다 무선LAN을 서비스하지 않는 곳이 없다. 본 논문은 무선LAN용 AP의 신호의 세기(RSSI)를 이용하여 정확도를 제고하는 옥외 측위방법을 제안한다. GPS를 이용한 측위와 제안하는 RSSI를 이용한 방법의 정확도를 실험적으로 비교한 결과를 소개하고, GPS 데이터와 RSSI를 함께 고려한 측위 방법과의 비교 결과도 소개한다.

IPS 측위는 GPS음영 지역인 실내의 특정 위치 정보를 판단하는 시스템으로 현재 위치에서 발생되는 신호 정보를 수집하는 시스템과 이 신호들로 구성된 실내 측위 지도, 측위 위치를 결정하기 위한 알고리즘 등에 따라 여러 종류로 나누어진다. 대표적인 IPS로 2.4Ghz, 5.0GHz 대역의 무선 신호(WiFi, BLE, Sensor Network, etc)를 활용하는 RF신호 기반 WPS 등이 있다. RF 신호를 기반으로 하는 실내 측위는 발생 기기의 고장, 장애물 발생, 채널 간섭 현상 등으로 인해 측위 시점 수집된 신호와 구축된 지도의 신호 정보가 달라 측위 정확도가 낮아지는 경우가 발생한다. 본 논문에서는 앞서 언급한 문제점을 해결하기 위해 기존 RF 환경을 사용하는 IPS 방안에 대하여 분석한다. 또한 RF 이외의 실내 측위 기술들에 대해서도 설명하고 측위 정확도를 위해 단일 측위 방식이 아닌 복합 측위 방식에 대한 설계를 제안한다.

The drastic growth of mobile communication and spreading of smart phone make the significant attention on Location Based Service. The one of most important things for vitalization of LBS is the accurate estimating position for mobile object. Focusing on IMU deployed in smart phone, we develop a hybrid positioning estimation framework with a combination of WPS. The developed approaches can strengthen the advantages of independent indoor applicability of IMU. The estimation of IMU is efficiently compensated by radio fingerprint based Wi-Fi Positioning System. We put a focus especially on the hybrid algorithmic framework. Compared on the existing approaches of WPS or IMU, we achieve the comparable higher performance on both of average error of estimation and deviation of errors. Furthermore test-bed based on smart phone platform is practically developed and all data have been harvested from the actual measurement of test indoor area. This can approve the practical usefulness of proposed framework.

In this paper, in order to minimize limitations such as signal interference and positioning errors in existing indoor positioning systems, a smart LED-based positioning system for excellent line-of-sight radio environments and precise location tracking is proposed to improve accuracy. An IEEE 802.4 Zigbee module is mounted on the SMPS board of a smart LED; RSSI and LQI signals are received from a moving tag, and the system is configured to transmit the measured data to the positioning server through a gateway. For the experiment, the necessary hardware, such as the gateway and the smart LED module, were separately designed, and the experiment was conducted after configuring the system in an external field office. The positioning error was within 70cm as a result of performing complex calculations in the positioning server after transmitting a vector value of the moving object obtained from the direction sensor, together with a signal from the moving object received by the smart LED. The result is a significantly improved positioning error, compared to an existing short-range wireless communications-based system, and shows the level at which commercial products can be implemented.

Purpose: In this paper, we propose a direction of future research and development to be carried out in the passive tracking field by deriving a white space with enhanced search formula of patent analysis. Method: In this paper, we derive a white space by identifying the direction and the flow of technology change and by matrixing the object and solution through extensive patent search with enhanced search formula and analysis in the field of passive tracking technology. Result: By the proposed scheme, 'multi-target positioning and tracking' and '3D positioning technology' using artificial intelligence, adaptive/hybrid positioning technology, and radar/antenna were derived as white space technologies and confirmed with absence of any services or products. Conclusion: The derived white space technologies from this paper are the areas where patent applications are not active and there are not many prior patents, thus it is necessary to secure the rights through more active R&D and patent application activities.

Recently, the use of locational information is growing rapidly. GPS technology has been adopted generally for obtaining locational information in outdoor spaces. In the other hand, the researches on indoor positioning have been carried out applying WLAN, RFID or Bluetooth technology because of the multi-path interference of GPS signal caused by the physical obstacles such as walls or columns in buildings. However, such technologies for indoor positioning cost too much to build sensing infrastructure and compute-intensive processes are involved. Furthermore, the accuracy of location estimation is variable caused by interior structures in buildings. In this study, to make up for the limitations, descriptive data such as phone number, unique room numbers, or business names readily available in mixed-use buildings is used for extracting location information. Furthermore, during the process, a geocoding method using character matching is applied to this study enabling prompt location estimation and sublating the fluctuation of accuracy caused by interior structures. Based on the proposed method in this study, an architecture is designed, and three-dimensional viewer program is developed for the implementation of this study. Also, this research is quantitatively analyzed through match rate and processing time of proposed method.
