System and apparatus for geo-location based data analysis

Abstract

A device and a backend server are described. The device can determine whether it has entered an indoor location, and once in the indoor location, the device can communicate with the server the name of the location. The device can determine the current location of the user in the indoor location, and based on the floorplan and the indoor location of an item, the device can direct the user to the item. The floorplan can be constructed based on data accumulated from various visitors of the indoor location.
