TL;DR

This paper presents a novel Cyber-Human Interaction system on mobile phones for indoor localization, enabling users to achieve location objectives efficiently without prior knowledge or additional equipment.

Contribution

It introduces a CHI-based indoor localization system that integrates human decision-making with cyber heuristics on mobile devices, improving efficiency and reducing costs.

Findings

Reduces time cost for indoor localization tasks

Lowers expense cost for laborers

Operates without prior environmental knowledge

Abstract

In this article, we study the Cyber-Human Interaction (CHI) based approach that the "Human" part sets a list of location-based objectives and makes the pathway decision whereas the "Cyber" part provides the pathway suggestion, infer heuristics from the environment along the pathway and incrementally resolve the location-based objectives with new heuristics for indoor localization. For this study, we implement a CHI-based system on mobile phone. The CHI-based system offers the pathway suggestion and the solution of the location-based objectives based on its trajectory management. Without any priori knowledge on the area of interest and any aid from other equipments, a laborer can achieve his location-based objectives by walking through the area of interest and simultaneously online interacting with the CHI-based system installed in his phone. In evaluation, we conduct the experiments and show the advantage CHI in reducing the time cost and the expense cost for the laborer.
