Indoor navigation systems have recently become a popular research field due to the lack of GPS signals indoors. Several indoors navigation systems have already been proposed in order to eliminate deficiencies; however each of them has several technical and usability limitations. In this study, we propose NFC Internal, a Near Field Communication (NFC)-based indoor navigation system, which enables users to navigate through a building or a complex by enabling a simple location update, simply by touching NFC tags those are spread around and orient users to the destination. In this paper, we initially present the system requirements, give the design details and study the viability of NFC Internal with a prototype application and a case study. Moreover, we evaluate the performance of the system and compare it with existing indoor navigation systems. It is seen that NFC Internal has considerable advantages and significant contributions to existing indoor navigation systems in terms of security and privacy, cost, performance, robustness, complexity, user preference and commercial availability.
由于室内缺乏全球定位系统(GPS)信号,室内导航系统最近成为一个热门的研究领域。为了消除缺陷,已经提出了几种室内导航系统;然而,它们每一个都有一些技术和可用性方面的限制。在本研究中,我们提出了NFC Internal,一种基于近场通信(NFC)的室内导航系统,该系统通过简单的位置更新,即只需触摸分布在周围的NFC标签并为用户指明目的地方向,就能让用户在建筑物或建筑群中导航。在本文中,我们首先介绍系统要求,给出设计细节,并通过一个原型应用和一个案例研究来研究NFC Internal的可行性。此外,我们评估了该系统的性能,并将其与现有的室内导航系统进行比较。可以看出,NFC Internal在安全性和隐私性、成本、性能、鲁棒性、复杂性、用户偏好和商业可用性方面对现有的室内导航系统具有相当大的优势和重大贡献。
