US 2016/0097643 A1 · MOBILE NAVIGATION SYSTEM, METHOD AND DEVICE

Abstract

A mobile navigation system includes positioning devices and a positioning datasheet generating unit. The positioning devices are installed in multiple areas and transmit wireless signals containing positioning device serial numbers. The positioning datasheet generating unit provides an electronic region map and a positioning datasheet to a mobile device. The positioning datasheet includes location information of the areas, the associated positioning device serial numbers, and navigation routes between any two of the areas. The mobile device searches the positioning datasheet to obtain the location information of a current area of itself with the positioning device serial number in the wireless signal received from the positioning device. The mobile device displays the current area on the electronic region map. Upon receiving a destination area, the mobile device searches the positioning datasheet to find a navigation route between the current area and the destination area and displays the navigation route.
