1. About expert system for Wi-Fi access points SpotEx – new pseudo-indoor positioning service Dmitry Namiot Lomonosov Moscow State University [email_address] Manfred Sneps-Sneppe Ventspils University College [email_address] LBS, Vienna, Nov 22, 2011

7. Ideas for indoor positioning 1) nowadays we can use smart phones as Active Badges 2) our system should be based on Wi-Fi just because it is “always ON” for modern phones 3) the “badge” (phone) should discover information Nodes for the users who choose to will receive content. W e are detecting positions in LBS services for getting (setting) some data related to this position rather than for getting simple (raw) location data.

8. 2. The essence of SpotEx service What if we stop our traditional indoor positioning on the first stage : detection of Wi-Fi networks? This detection actually already provides some information about the location. As the second step we will add the ability to describe some rules (if-then operators, or productions) related to the Wi-Fi access points. We are not going to connect mobile users to the detected networks. We need only SSID for networks and any other public information.
