ABSTRACT
Wireless sensor technologies have become popular in recent years as the cost of electronics decreases. In addition, various sensors were incorporated into a smartphone, which caused the integration of many applications into one device. Navigation is a typical application of a smartphone. A common assumption in navigation is that a person's position has to be known exactly so most papers have focused on the localization process itself rather than customizing it for a specific application. In this paper we will show that complex systems or algorithms are not necessary for the purpose of getting two parties to meet in indoor situations. A robust localization system was implemented using popular sensors in a smartphone and simple localization techniques. We show that this system can localize a person with room-level accuracy to help two people to meet each other in a building.
