Systems and Technologies that Facilitate the Indoor Positioning

Abstract

In the last years, mobile computing has considerably impacted the area of information technologies. The growth of mobile platforms has brought one of the most important advancements: positioning of mobile devices which relates to the users mobility and involves the process of sensing positions, through GPS and QR codes (Lliteras, Challiol, &
Gordillo, 2013). This article includes the results of a bibliographical study that allows assessing how the systems and technologies that facilitate indoor positioning work. The work is qualitative. It highlights the importance of generating guidelines to develop this apps, as well as to continue investigating new wireless systems and location systems to
improve present precision levels.
