Abstract: As outdoor positioning systems have relatively well established and matured, indoor positioning and navigation systems still have great potential to grow. The researches on indoor positioning system have gained the ever increasing momentum and importance, as the needs toward indoor positioning and navigation are flourishing. With the prominence of smartphone, this paper introduces a portable indoor directory system that can be easily installed and operated on the typical smartphone; hence the system could benefit greater number of users. The proposed system is aimed to provide a new ways of providing indoor floor directory, which offers capabilities to retrieve customizable and real time information, to navigate interactively, and to enable location-awareness computing. Additionally, the proposed system is designated to cater for the needs of visually challenged persons by incorporating screen reader and improved accessibility. The whole system consists of three mo!
dules, namely mobile phone module, Kiosks module, and Website and Database module. The mobile phone module is the main frontend module which installed on users¡¯ mobile devices, whereas the Kiosks and website are to provide supports and maintenances to the main module. Users can download maps and application from the Kiosks or website. On the other hand, administrator uses the website to manage the database.
