National Innovation Award for Indoor Localization
We started to work on indoor localization in 2015 when we found there is no perfect solution. There are more than 100 start-up companies providing indoor solutions. Not mention existing service providers such as Google. Some of them underestimated the complexity of indoor localization and many of them do not ignore the real needs from the users and the overhead of building owners.
Our solution use a cutomerized antenna to transmit location information via Bluetooth protocol to provide sufficient accuracy and maximum compatibility. In addition, the computation on edge and user devices are minimized to reduce energy consumption on Bluetooth tag to prolong its battery life to one year. The indoor localization has been deployed to National Taiwan Hospital YunLin branch to assist the out-patients to navigate in the hospital and the staffs to manage the medical equipments.
The system has been award for 2019 Innovation Award (國家新創獎). Thanks for the great works from the team.
