I believemost of you have the same experience that I have. When you fist stepin a new building, airport or school, you will feel loss and do notknow what to do first and where to go. For example, you are in ahospital. It is difficult for you to find the place you want to go.Many hospital use a not that effective way to solve this problem, ofcourse, it does not work at most of the time. They just set differentkinds of sign post or just use different colors to guide people.However, now we have a really nice way to solve this problem, usingintelligent map system in mobile phone. It makes it's easy to findsome places in a building and other indoor places.Inthe latest Android map, it includes US IKEA and Macy's and other 18airport's detailed layout. Almost at the same time, Nokia announcedthey will release indoor map suing Bluetooth 4.0. Although use twototally different technology, we can smell that the war of indoor mapis already begin.Fora long time, Bluetooth has a poor reputation. It maybe because thatthe headphone looks not like a human or something else. It makespeople feel weird. However, Bluetooth is actually a really nicetechnology: powerful, simple, cheap. And it will be much more smartafter the release of Bluetooth 4.0. Nokia's Location ExtensionProtocol uses the connection of locator transmitter on the ceilingand Bluetooth 4.0. And triangulation method that is similar to GPS.Through this way, your mobile phone can find the place you want to goaccurately. It is said that the degree of precision is less than 8inches. Nokiahas spent over one billion euros and hope this breakthroughtechnology will bring superiority in the competiton of indoor map.They have also discovered the different application of this tech,from game to indoor navigation. Nokia is now trying their best topersuade Bluetooth SIG to make one uniform standard and hope thiskind of mobile phone can come out into market in 2013.Justlike that if there is no specific map, GPS can not work, the indoornavigation system can not work without a detailed architectural andstructural drawings. Now Google allows uses to upload or addarchitectural and structural drawings to Google Maps as they do thesame to SketchUp. This is a simple process, users just need uploadthe picture of the floor's layout and then connect with satelliteimages of Google Maps. Through this way, Google not only gets manyusers' support, uploading indoor maps data day and night, they alsouses the data for other users, such as services based on location andads based on location.WhatI have said above is not considering the crime, privacy and othersafe question. People are now really sensitive to Google Street View.I believe this kind of indoor map data will bring bigger controversy.In conclusion, we need indoor navigation when we are in a strangebuilding to find places fast. However, we need to use it carefully.Hope Google and Nokia will solve these problems and provide us indoornavigation one day. Article Tags: Indoor Navigation, Mobile Phone
