Landmark-based Navigation System for Mobile Devices Have No Built-in GPS Receiver and Compass
When users are roaming in real-life environment and looking for specific place for learning (e.g., Gothic architecture) or fun (e.g., Bar Tour for the happy hour), it is important for them to have a guidance from the map, the people, and may be the mobile phone! This research aims to design a navigation system on mobile devices for users doing mobile learning activities. Two issues are needed to be taken into consideration: (1) in the real learning environment such as national park or zoo, sometimes there is no road or no named road, and (2) not all mobile devices have built-in GPS receiver and compass and even the devices have GPS receivers, sometimes, it can not receive GPS signals due to the weather issue or the user is inside a building (e.g., museum). This research designs the navigation system based on the spatial relations of objects and landmarks. This system allows users doing learning activities in the real world with their mobile devices directly and no needs to purchase a new one or concern if it has built-in GPS receiver/compass.
