PIPS: Platform independent Indoor Positioning System

随着室内定位服务的日益普及，作为基于位置服务的使能技术的室内定位系统(IPS)的部署正在全球范围内如火如荼地进行。Direk-tr是一项用于IPS的新型专利技术，它(仅)依赖于智能手机上随时可用的惯性传感器。与现有解决方案不同，Direk-tr不需要任何基础设施、定制硬件或环境培训，使其有可能成为市场上最具成本效益和可轻松扩展的解决方案。PIPS项目旨在采用新技术来增强DIREK-TR的能力，以满足市场需求，并对基于DIREK-TR解决方案构建的基于室内位置的潜在服务进行初步市场验证。

With the increasing popularity of Indoor location-based services, deployment of Indoor Positioning Systems (IPS) -as the enabling technology for location-based services- is in full momentum across the globe. DIREK-TR is a novel patented technology for IPS that relies on (only) the inertial sensors that are readily available on smartphones. As opposed to existing solutions, DIREK-TR does not require any infrastructure, customized hardware or training in the environment, giving it the potential to become the most cost-effective and easily scalable solution in the market. PIPS project aims to new technologies that enhance the capabilities of DIREK-TR to meet the market needs and perfrom an initial market validation for potential indoor location based services built based on DIREK-TR solutions.
