Method of building a locating service for a wireless network environment
First Claim
1. A method of building a locating service in a location-based system for a wireless network environment comprising:
- an environment input step for dividing an environment into a plurality of position points and setting a position point as an obstacle according to environment information;
a detection point calculation step for obtaining a plurality of suggested detection points according to a detection algorithm;
a measuring step for measuring the suggested detection points and at least one positioning signal strength from the suggested detection points to establish a relational list between the at least one positioning signal strength and the suggested detection points;
an assumed non-detected position points step for assuming and adding to the relational list at least one positioning signal strength from a plurality of non-detected position points according to an assumption calculation;
a portable device signal measuring step for measuring at least one positioning signal strength from a portable device at a current location;
a position point calculation step for comparing the at least one positioning signal strength from the portable device with the positioning signal strengths in the relational list and obtaining corresponding position information according to a positioning algorithm; and
a signal feed back step for sending the corresponding position information to the portable device to inform a user.

Abstract
A method of building a locating service for a wireless network environment includes: an environment input step, a detection point calculation step, a measuring step and an assumed non-detected position point step to find measured position points and to measure a four-directional signal strength of the measured position point. By assuming signal strengths of non-detected position points, an entire positioning system can be established. A measuring process includes a portable device signal measuring step, a position point calculation step, and a signal feed back step to send the corresponding position information to the portable device to provide information to a user.
