This document presents an Android app called Noti-Fi that uses WiFi signals for indoor positioning and notifications similar to iBeacons. It discusses how Noti-Fi does not require additional hardware or an SDK, works with existing WiFi infrastructure, has high accuracy of location detection, and is compatible with all device versions and operating systems. The team's roles are identified and it is noted that a major challenge was developing the indoor positioning algorithm using WiFi signals.

2. INTRODUCTION
“Smartphones are changing the in-store
experience, and winning the key decision
moments at the physical shelves means owning
the digital shelves too” …Google
 Where are this indoor GPS used?
 Retail, Office, Museums, Schools, Hospitals,
Restaurants, Sports Stadiums and Real Estate
 Why are they used?
 Promote, Promote, Promote!!

3. REASON FOR THE IDEA
 Who is the competitor to iBeacons?
 None
 What hardware can work with similar concept?
 Wi-Fi
 Required a solution that has no or less additional
Cost of setup.
 The pain area of iBeacons is that it consumes more
battery and need external connection & device

4. WIREFRAMES

5. TEAM ROLE
 Idea – Anand Hariyani
 Addons / Enhancement to Idea – Pooja Thakker
 Core logic – Anand Hariyani, Deval Patel and
Pranav Tank
 Project UI Ideas – Rahul Shah and Pooja Thakker
 Front End UI development and integration – Rahul
Shah, Deval Patel and Pranav Tank
 Project Coordination – Anand Hariyani and Pooja

No.
Key Points iBeacon Noti-Fi
1 SDK With iBeacons, it is possible for
manufacturers and system
integrators to create beacons
which can support both iOS
and Android/ Windows devices
at the same time using SDK.
No SDK needed, just core logic
2 Additional
Hardware
The hardware is cheap and
low-maintenance
No External Hardware needed,
turn your own WiFi to a Beacon /
as a Beacon
3 GPS Location They enable accurate indoor
location (condition apply)
This is almost ~85% accurate.
Accuracy rate can go even
higher with enhanced and
complicated algorithm

7. SUCCESS

Key Points iBeacon Noti-Fi
4 They're great for
customer
identification and
data collection
Passive detection means
beacons are a terrific way for
store staff to easily identify
specific customers and
quickly link them with their
digital activity.
Same can be done with Noti-
Fi (future enhancement)
5 Compatibility Require customers to have
iOS 7 (Android 4.3 & above)
and leave Bluetooth turned on
for their handsets.
Any device with any version
can use this application
6 Updates To recognize iBeacons, your
existing iOS apps will need an
update via the App Store
No Such updates needed.

8. MAJOR SUCCESS CRITERIA
 Additionally there is an addon, where any mobile
device can be turned into WiFi Hotspot and be used
as WiFi router which can enact as Beacon to send
out notifications.

9. CHALLENGES
 The major challenge was to get to a right algorithm
for the core logic of indoor positioning via WiFi
setup.
 The other challenge was to compare the distance
between two WiFi routers with the user position.
