摘要：

This paper proposes a new localization method for smart phones using an accelerometer. Although the global positioning system (GPS) is applied in various fields, it has a disadvantage in that it cannot be used effectively in indoor environments. To overcome this problem, many localization methods in indoor environments exploiting Wireless LANs have been proposed, but few systems achieve high accuracy. On the other hand, the smart phones with many sensors and powerful CPUs are becoming wide spread. We examined a localization method specialized for smart phones, and evaluated our proposed method by implementing a prototype system and conducting experiments with it.
