Automatic Design of an Indoor User Location Infrastructure Using a Memetic Multiobjective Approach

An optical data transmission system for blind persons by means of a mobile phone with the Android operating system

“…The user can be either continuously and actively tracked or his or her presence at the specific location can be detected. A few recent examples and possible application areas of such systems can be found in .…”

PMV calculation and intelligent control algorithm for location-based human adaptive air-conditioner

“…This research is focused on developing a human-adaptive air conditioner that functions by measuring human factors (such as patterns of living) with a non-terminal-based indoor positioning system, to provide high-quality intelligent service [6,7]. Residents manually control the air conditioning in a passive service environment, whereas a location-based humanadaptive air conditioner autonomously regulates the temperature in a smart home according to residents' patterns of living.…”

“…A number of indoor positioning systems have already been developed to determine a resident's location in a smart home or smart office [7,9]. Indoor positioning systems can be classified according to the presence or absence of a terminal that must be carried by the resident.…”

“…Terminal-based methods (such as Active Bats) do not determine a resident's location directly, but instead perceive the location of a device such as an infrared transceiver or radio frequency identification (RFID) tag. Non-terminalbased methods (such as Easy Living or Smart Floor) can locate a resident without such devices [7,9].…”
