FIG. 8 is an exemplary diagram illustrating a process of uploading and displaying collected points to a server. Hereinafter, a process of collecting and uploading information on a wireless access point in a target facility will be described in more detail with reference to FIGS. 3 and 4. FIG.

The wireless access point information collection device may display the map information on a display of the wireless access point information collection device through a predetermined interface. The information collector can input the accurate position information 310 about the current position of the information collector through the map information. The position information 310 may be position information input through actual measurement of the information collector, and may be information on the absolute coordinates (latitude / longitude) of the position.

The interface may include a button 320 for selecting a current position, an aerial photograph, a grid display, a general map, and the like. When the current position button is selected, approximate position information based on the GPS signal can be provided. When the aerial photograph button is selected, the photograph information photographed by air can be displayed instead of the map information. When the grid display button is selected, a grid having a specific length is displayed on the map information, so that the position information can be more conveniently collected at regular intervals.

Meanwhile, the interface may include a button 330 for selecting the number of the corresponding facilities and a button 340 for collecting information about the wireless access point.

FIG. 5 is a diagram illustrating a state in which a wireless access point is disposed within a target facility according to an embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 6 is a diagram illustrating a wireless access point information collecting device, And the signal intensity according to the difference in the distance between the two signals.

As shown in FIG. 5, a plurality of wireless access points AP1 to AP7 may be disposed inside the building. When the user enters the target facility in which the wireless access point is disposed in the form as shown in FIG. 5, the signal strengths of the wireless access points AP1 to AP7 received at the user terminal are measured differently according to the user's location.

For example, when the user moves from the A point 610 to the B point 620 as shown in FIG. 6, AP1 to AP3 are relatively closer to the user terminal than AP4 to AP7 at the A point 610 AP4 to AP7 are relatively closer to the user terminal than AP1 to AP3 in the B point 620. [

Signal strengths from the wireless APs at the A-point 610 and the B-point 620 are shown in Table 1 below.

Signal strength at point A Signal strength at point B AP 1 -40 -60 AP 2 -35 -40 AP 3 -45 -55 AP 4 -70 -55 AP 5 -75 -55 AP 6 -90 -60 AP 7 - -65

In this way, the indoor position of the user can be determined by using the fact that the signal strength from the neighbor AP is changed according to the user's location. Accordingly, the wireless access point information collecting apparatus according to the present method can collect information about the wireless access point using a fingerprinting method.

FIG. 7 is a view for explaining a process of collecting information on a wireless access point at each point in a target facility in an embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 8 is a flowchart illustrating a process of collecting information of a wireless access point It is a graph showing the weights applied according to the strength.

The wireless access point information collecting apparatus can perform fingerprinting at regular intervals as shown in FIG.

For example, if information about the wireless access point is collected from the entrance 1 to the entrance 2 inside the building, the collected positions are determined in the order of FP1, FP2, FP3, ..., FP7.

Table 2 below shows the absolute coordinates of FP1 position, FP2 position, FP3 position in FIG. 7 and signal strength from each wireless AP at each position.

FP 1 FP 2 FP 3 Latitude 37.385350 37.385337 37.385365 Hardness 127.121150 127.121378 127.121585 AP 1 -40 -50 -60 AP 2 -35 -37 -40 AP 3 -45 -50 -55 AP 4 -70 -63 -55 AP 5 -75 -65 -55 AP 6 -90 -75 -60

As described above, the wireless access point information collecting apparatus according to the present invention receives the actual location information (latitude / longitude) of the point where information about the wireless access point is to be collected, collects / stores information about the wireless access point And uploads it to the wireless access point information collection server so that the location of the user can be accurately and quickly determined based on the uploaded information when the indoor location based service is provided.

Hereinafter, a method of determining the user location in the building based on the information in Table 2 will be described as an example.

The following Table 3 shows the signal strengths of the wireless access points that the user terminal located at a specific location in the environment shown in FIG. 5 moves from the specific time T to T + 2.

Time (T) Time (T + 1) Time (T + 2) AP 1 -45 -55 -50 AP 2 -40 -45 -50 AP 3 -50 -60 -55 AP 4 -60 -60 -45 AP 5 -65 -60 -65 AP 6 -80 -75 -70

When the signal strength of the wireless AP collected by the wireless access point information collecting device is F.AP and the signal strength of the wireless AP collected at the user location is C.AP, the position of the user's terminal and the position of the FP1 Can be expressed by the following Equation (1).

Here, f (x) is a weight function and may have an exponential curve as shown in FIG.

Based on the information as shown in Table 2 collected by the wireless access point information collecting device, the degree of similarity to the signal strengths of the wireless APs of T, T + 1, and T + 2 hours as shown in Table 3 transmitted from the user terminal ,

When the degree of similarity between the user's terminal and the FP1 position is calculated at the position of time T,

Sim (FP1) = (100- (-40) - (-45) |) (11) + (100- | -35) -45) - (-50) | * (8) + (100- | -70 -60) | (5) + (100- | -75) - (-65) | * (100) | (-90) - (-80) |) (1)

= 3850

= 3820

Can be obtained.

At this time, the position of the user terminal is determined as the position of the FP2 having the largest similarity value, and the position of FP2, the latitude of 37.385337 and the longitude of 127.121378, can be determined as the user position.

From Equation (1), it can be seen that the similarity between the position of the user terminal and the position of the FP can be calculated by the following equation (2).

B = | (F.APx - C.APx) |, Signal intensity difference: A value obtained by multiplying the collected signal by a constant value to obtain a larger value as the difference between the signal intensity (0 to -100) C = f (x), weighting by signal intensity: weight function by signal intensity obtained experimentally, respectively.

If we calculate the time as T -> T + 1 -> T + 2 as above,

The similarity between the user terminal and the FP position at time T is

Sim (FP1) = (100- (-40) - (-45) |) (11) + (100- | -35) -45) - (-50) | * (8) + (100- | -70 -60) | (5) + (100- | -75) - (-65) | * (100) | (-90) - (-80) |) (1)
