“…The position of an object is typically calculated by determining ranges between the object and reference points given by the infrastructure, and/or determining angles between the object and reference points. For fundamental examples see [1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9]. In applications like goods tracking, robot control, navigation and logistics such systems are already marketed by several companies (references: [10,11,12,13]).…”

Abstract. Indoor localisation systems enable a variety of assistance services in commercial buildings and home environments. Applications in this area cover guidance, asset tracking, behaviour monitoring for smart assistance and alert systems, intelligent remote control, to name a few of them. It is desirable to employ a position information management system which collects, manages, offers and distributes such information. This paper focuses on how to design such a middleware which gathers position information from one or more localisation systems and provides this data to interested and authorised applications.

“…They also rely on forcing the user to carry a custom device. The second ones, are more promising and fulfil most of the requirements to succeed, but still depend on a vast network of sensors (loudspeakers or microphones) to achieve sufficient area coverage and good enough performance, due to the high frequency of sound and consequent high directivity and attenuation in distance [14][15] [16]. To minimize this problem, it is possible to use the regular frequency range of these devices with wide band audible sound.…”

This paper presents the results of an indoor localization experiment that uses spread spectrum modulated audio signals. Indoor spaces do not have line-of-sight to global navigation satellite systems and do not have a truly universal localization system to allow mobile devices to localize themselves. Previous approaches focused in using custom made hardware with several types of signals that, even though with good performance, are not feasible to adopt in a wide scale utilization. The proposed approach uses pre-existent off-the-shelf hardware and easy to handle audio signals present in our everyday lives. However, the challenges when using audible and very susceptible to multipath types of signals are many and require validation of the subjacent principles. An experiment in a real indoor environment was conducted to estimate localization while using spread spectrum noise like signals barely perceptible to people. Results demonstrated a 1.3 cm average accuracy in the center area. These and other results demonstrate the possibility of the use of audio signals with all the advantages regarding wide scale dissemination of an indoor localization solution.

“…For example, an object tracking service could be provided which is based on a three dimensional indoor localization system of an identity tag worn by the inhabitants [11]. Other services include a temperature control service which manages temperature depending on the specific devices and appliances deployed inside the building.…”

The idea of applying semantic web technologies to the area of smart homes (SH) and building automation has resulted in a number of research activities and initiatives that have been recently developed. This article starts with an overview of ongoing work towards embedding semantics into home automation services. We then highlight the problems not considered by previous solutions. The core value of the work presented here is contained in a novel goal-driven approach for building automation service allocation and control. A new concept of semantic homes (SeH) and its architectural vision is another significant contribution. The comparison between existing and suggested solutions is rounded off by a use case scenario from the area of ambient assisted living.
