Location positioning engine system and method

A network based indoor mapping system comprising:

• a physical premises map;
• one or more beacons disposed within a physical premises, wherein each beacon transmits a signal containing a unique beacon identifier, wherein each beacon is stationary;
• a plurality of measured signal strengths captured by one or more fixed sensors each having a unique location within the physical premises, wherein the one or more fixed sensors captures the plurality of measured signal strengths from the one or more beacons;
• an indoor positioning module that associates the plurality of measured signal strengths from the one or more beacons with at least one geofence;
• a wireless device communicatively coupled to the indoor positioning module, wherein the wireless device receives one or more beacon identifier when the wireless device is within a broadcast range of the one or more beacons, wherein the wireless device determines a signal strength of the received one or more beacon identifier, and wherein the wireless device transmits the one or more beacon identifier and received signal strength to the indoor positioning module;
• wherein the at least one geofence is associated with the plurality of measured signal strengths captured from the one or more fixed sensors;
• wherein the at least one geofence is further associated with a plurality of calculated signal strengths, wherein the plurality of calculated signal strengths are generated from the plurality of measured signal strengths;
• and
• wherein the indoor positioning module determines that the wireless device is within the at least one geofence by comparing the at least one beacon identifier and received signal strength with the plurality of calculated signal strengths.
