物联网（IoT）可以使智能基础设施能够为用户提供高级服务。新的技术进步可以改善我们的日常生活，即使是简单的任务，如参观博物馆。在这篇文章中，提出了一个室内定位系统，以提高在博物馆的用户体验。特别地，所提出的系统依赖于蓝牙低功耗（BLE）信标接近和定位能力来自动地向用户提供与所观察的艺术品相关的文化内容。同时，使用基于接收信号强度的技术来估计参观者在博物馆中的位置。开发了一个Android应用程序来估计与展品的距离，并收集有关每次访问的有用分析，并向用户提供建议。此外，该应用程序在智能手机中实现了一个简单的卡尔曼滤波器，而不需要云，以提高定位，精度和准确性。实验结果表明，BLE信标的距离估计，定位和检测精度是一个很有前途的解决方案的互动智能博物馆。所提出的系统被设计为易于扩展到物联网技术，其有效性已通过实验进行了评估。
The Internet of Things (IoT) can enable smart infrastructures to provide advanced services to the users. New technological advancement can improve our everyday life, even simple tasks as a visit to the museum. In this article, an indoor localization system is presented, to enhance the user experience in a museum. In particular, the proposed system relies on Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) beacons proximity and localization capabilities to automatically provide the users with cultural contents related to the observed artworks. At the same time, a received signal strength-based technique is used to estimate the location of the visitor in the museum. An Android application is developed to estimate the distance from the exhibits and collect useful analytics regarding each visit and provide a recommendation to the users. Moreover, the application implements a simple Kalman filter in the smartphone, without the need of the cloud, to improve localization, precision and accuracy. Experimental results on distance estimation, location, and detection accuracy show that BLE beacon is a promising solution for an interactive smart museum. The proposed system has been designed to be easily extensible to the IoT technologies and its effectiveness has been evaluated through experimentation.
