INDOOR POSITIONING SYSTEMS AND MEETING ROOM OCCUPANCY
First Claim
1. A method of determining room occupancy of a room in a facility having an indoor positioning system with wireless access point fingerprints each correlated to a location in the facility, the method comprising:
- receiving a request from a computing device for a room occupancy assessment associated with the room;
obtaining location data that correlates to the location of wireless devices associated with each of one or more people from the indoor positioning system;
determining from the location data whether the room is occupied; and
sending the determination of whether the room is occupied to the computing device.

Abstract
A method of determining room occupancy of a room in a facility having an indoor positioning system with wireless access point fingerprints each correlated to a location in the facility. The method may include receiving a request from a computing device for a room occupancy assessment associated with the room. It may further include obtaining location data that correlates to the location of one or more people from the indoor positioning system and determining from the location data associated with the room whether the room is occupied. The determination of whether the room is occupied is then sent to the computing device.

13. A server to determine room occupancy of a room in a facility having an indoor positioning system with wireless access point fingerprints each correlated to a location in the facility, the server comprising:
-
a network connection to receive a request from a computing device for a room occupancy assessment associated with the room; and a processor to obtain location data that correlates to the location of wireless devices associated with each of one or more people from the indoor positioning system, determine from the location data whether the room is occupied, and send the determination of whether the room is occupied to the computing device via the network connection. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24)
