Abstract: A method and system for verifying an indoor position using Wireless Local Area Networks (WLAN), access points (AP), and Assisted Global Positioning System (A-GPS). The goal of this method is to determine if a user is in the place where he claims to be by using a mobile device. When a user wants his location to be verified he activates a scanning process on his mobile device that reads all the requested signals (WLAN, A-GPS). When the recording process is complete the information is sent to a server where it is processed and the user location is either confirmed to be true or false.

Abstract: A method and a system for accurately positioning an electronic device located in an indoor area, generates a request signal for determining the indoor location of the device, and sends the signal to a server coupled to the device through a network. The request signal contains certain parameters pertaining thereto, including the signal strength, and the information of the cell towers through which the device sent the signal. The server uses the signal parameters to determine information pertaining to an approximate spatial position of the device, and sends and information to the device. Multiple positioning algorithms are embedded in the computing hardware of the device, and the device executes these algorithms to determine the exact indoor location thereof.
