尽管越来越多的基于位置的服务（LBS），以支持行人活动的可用性，我们所知甚少的有效性，现有的地理网络信息，以协助有特殊需要的人，如视障人士的室内导航。为了表征这些室内环境，我们调查了三种不同的规格分类的环境语义信息。调查结果表明，即使有不同的范围，所研究的三个规格共享相当多的环境语义信息。为了评估调查结果的有效性，我们创建了一个购物中心的环境语义信息集，然后进行了导航实验，在同一室内位置的9个视障参与者。一个基于智能手机的系统，提供音频导航辅助的基础上准确的实时定位在购物中心被用来完成导航任务。实验结果表明，总体积极的评价，从参与者的有用性的音频信息使用。我们提出了进一步的研究结果的评估不同的音频信息的研究参与者。
Despite the growing availability of location-based services (LBS) to support pedestrian activities, we know little about the effectiveness of existing geographical web information to assist the indoor navigation of people with special needs such as the visually impaired. To characterize these indoor environments, we surveyed three different specifications about taxonomies for environmental semantic information. Survey results show that even having different scopes, the three studied specifications share considerable environmental semantic information. In order to evaluate the validity of survey results, we created a set of environmental semantic information for a shopping center, and then performed a navigation experiment with 9 visually impaired participants in the same indoor location. A smartphone-based system providing audio navigation assistance based on accurate real-time localization in the shopping center was used to complete navigational tasks. Experiment results show an overall positive assessment from participants about the usefulness of the audio messages used. We present further findings about the assessment of the different audio messages by the study participants.
