Abstract
Location-Based Services based on thematic information have become commonplace. Thematic indoor navigation services are also increasingly pervasive with the development of indoor positioning technologies. Extending these technologies, we designed and implemented icon Cube, a mobile cloud computing system integrating Location-Based Services and indoor navigation for meeting organizers and participants. For meeting organizers, our system provides a template library to efficiently customize meeting portal websites for different topics and meeting types, such as academic conferences or art exhibitions. For meeting participants, the Android application in our system not only provides indoor navigation in a meeting space, but also enhances communication among participants through online-to-offline social network services. The system also extracts information from the Internet related to users´ location and pushes it to users in sequence based on similarity to location´s social attributes. Our system has been used for many academic conferences such as China Satellite Navigation Conference (CSNC), demonstrating its utility.
