1. A method, comprising:
- receiving, by a communication device, incoming information for a user;
transmitting, by the communication device, a first request signal to a plurality of networked devices, the first request signal indicating the receiving of the incoming information; and
receiving, by the communication device from a second networked device of the plurality of networked devices, a response signal indicating that a first networked device of the plurality of networked devices is situated to notify the user of the incoming information.

Abstract
Methods and systems of indoor positioning of a user and delivery of information thereto are described. A system may include a communication device and a plurality of networked devices. The communication device may receive incoming information which is intended for receipt by a user, and transmit a request signal responsive to the receiving of the incoming information. Each of the networked devices may receive the request signal, and determine which one of the networked devices is situated to notify the user of the incoming information. The networked device situated to notify the user may proceed to notify the user of the incoming information.

7. A method, comprising:
-
receiving, by a first networked device of a plurality of networked devices, a request signal originated from a communication device, the request signal indicating the communication device receiving incoming information for a user; determining, by the first networked device, whether the first networked device is situated to notify the user of the incoming information; and providing, by the first networked device, a notification to the user indicating that a second networked device of the plurality of networked devices is situated to notify the user responsive to a determination that the first networked device is not situated to notify the user. - View Dependent Claims (8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15)

16. A system, comprising:
-
a communication device configured to perform operations comprising; receiving incoming information for a user; and transmitting a first request signal responsive to receiving the incoming information, the first request signal indicating the receiving of the incoming information at the communication device; a plurality of networked devices; and an access point device communicatively connected to the communication device and the plurality of networked devices, the access point device configured to perform operations comprising; receiving the first request signal; determining a position of the user; determining that a first networked device of the plurality of networked devices is situated to notify the user of the incoming information; and transmitting a response signal to the communication device, the response signal indicating that the first networked device is situated to notify the user of the incoming information. - View Dependent Claims (17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22)
