Abstract
In recent years, location-based services became more and more popular. They serve information based on a user’s or device’s location. Many of these services are accessible over web interfaces via browsers, which would make them also interesting for stationary devices. However, these don’t possess good positioning capabilities necessarily. There are still many of them that are connected to the Internet in a wired way, thus not being able to use WLAN positioning or similar approaches. Static devices usually rely on IP geolocation, which approximates their position only coarsely. Smartphones, on the other hand, come with inbuilt positioning technologies that allow to pinpoint the device and its user with very high accuracy. A potential solution to this dilemma is a connection between different device types. Highly accurate position information can subsequently be transferred in an automated and seamlessly integrated manner from a smartphone to a stationary device.
