1. A method of tracking a mobile device location, the method comprising:
- at a server with a processor and memory, the server in communication with the mobile device,receiving a first mobile device location from a first global positioning system (GPS) signal captured at the mobile device;
retrieving a facility identification information from a database, based on the received first mobile device location;
receiving a captured first item information from a first item within the facility by a scanner in the mobile device;
retrieving a first item location within the facility from a database based on the captured first item information,wherein the database includes gathered interior dimensions of the facility including layout and dimensions of item rows and item locations within the rows;
determining a first mobile device location within the facility as a function of the first item product location;
receiving movement information gathered from an Inertial Navigation System (INS) motion detection device the mobile device;
determining a location of a second item within a proximity of the mobile device based on the first item location and the received INS movement information;
sending information about the second item to the mobile device based on the determined first mobile device location and the received INS movement information,wherein the second item information may be displayed on the mobile device when the mobile device is in proximity of the second item location;
receiving a selection of acceptance of the second item information from the mobile device.

8. A method of tracking a mobile device location, the method comprising:
-
at a server with a processor and memory, the server in communication with the mobile device, mapping interior dimensions of a facility including layout and dimensions of item rows; capturing first item information from a first item within the facility by a scanner on the mobile device; retrieving a first item location within the facility from a database of the mapped interior dimensions of the facility based on the captured first item information; determining a first mobile device location as a function of the first item location and a global positioning system (GPS) signal received at the mobile device; receiving movement information from a motion detection device and the GPS information from the mobile device; determining a second item location within a proximity of the mobile device based on the first item location and the received GPS information; sending second item information to the mobile device based on the determined mobile device information and second item location; wherein the second item information may be displayed on the mobile device when the mobile device is in proximity of the second item location; and receiving a selection of acceptance of the second item information from the mobile device. - View Dependent Claims (9)
