Indoor navigation system and navigation method thereof

Abstract

The invention discloses an indoor navigation system. The indoor navigation system comprises a navigation machine and intelligent lamps controlled by the navigation machine and arranged in a dot matrix manner. A specific navigation method comprises the following steps: 1) a user inputs information on the navigation machine; 2) the navigation machine analyzes, processes and transfers the starting area and the target area information inputted by the user; 3) the navigation machine controls the illuminating lamps to change, so as to enable the intelligent lamps arranged in the dot matrix manner to form a lamplight path, and guide the user to arrive at the destination. According to the indoor navigation system disclosed by the invention, the indoor navigation concept is innovated, the indoor navigation is detached from restrictions of satellite positioning, smartphone imaging and the like, and the lamplight navigation path, which is more suitable for people to use, is adopted, so as to bring convenience for people to arrive at the destination more easily and efficiently; an exampling device is additionally arranged to allow the user to identify the lamplight change conveniently, so as to follow the guidance of the lamplight path and arrive at the designated target area; the indoor navigation system is particularly suitable for category partition inquiry and navigation and other aspects in a dim underground parking lot or a hypermarket.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of indoor navigation, in particular to an indoor navigation system and a navigation method thereof. Background technique [0002] With the popularity of smart phones and the development of mobile Internet, map and navigation software will enter a new era - indoor navigation. In recent years, some technology giants including Google, Microsoft, Apple, Broadcom, etc., and some world-renowned universities have been researching indoor positioning technology. The commercialization of indoor positioning technology will surely bring a wave of innovation. Various applications based on this technology will appear in front of us, and its influence and scale will never be inferior to GPS. [0003] However, the accuracy of general civilian use is not high enough (about 10m), and there is still a distance compared to the requirements of indoor navigation (about 1m). Some of the more common indoor navigation application ...

[0003] However, the accuracy of general civilian use is not high enough (about 10m), and there is still a distance compared to the requirements of indoor navigation (about 1m).

Some of the more common indoor navigation application scenarios, such as quickly finding exits and elevators with indoor navigation in large shopping malls, or quickly finding your own vehicle in a dark underground parking lot, use smartphones have great limitations, first of all, mobile phones The signal will inevitably be affected in some underground car parks, and the navigation accuracy of the mobile phone will be reduced, or even unable to navigate. Secondly, in some complex indoor terrains, only the mobile phone is used for navigation, and the indication is quite limited, which is unavoidable. Finally, there are too many indoor terrains, and it is impossible to form an indoor map for each indoor terrain, and then navigate through mobile phones, there will inevitably be loopholes, and when new indoor terrains appear, Need to constantly update the map, very impractical
