Abstract

The wide spread of mobiles as handheld devices would naturally lead to various innovative applications that makes use of their ever increasing presence in our daily life. One such application is location-tracking in indoor environments. In this paper we discuss the implementation of a simple and cost effective system that assists users in tracking colleagues and friends within a campus environment. The system uses the information built in a typical mobile such as its IMEI and IMSI and the various WiFi access points on campuses to pin point a user's position. A mobile application program communicates with a web server and a GSM modem to provide users with real time data related to a person's movements and location.
