摘要：This paper introduces the development details of an Indoor and Outdoor Positioning Android app for Anapji, an artificial pond in Gyeongju National Park in Korea, tourist guide apps. There is a pathway around the pond, with around 10 viewpoints and Imhaejeon, a gazebo-like Korean traditional house, along this pathway. In Imhaejeon, we can find an Anapji bird's-eye view at the center and 12 cultural artifacts unearthed at Anapji displayed along the four edges of Imhaejeon. Tourists walk along the pathway and stop at a viewpoint to enjoy the scenic beauty at their wish. Most of them also enter Imhaejeon, walk along the edge, and stop in front of an artifact to watch it. Whenever a tourist stops to watch something, tourist guide apps show a content that is closely related to the thing that is being watched. The content can be a video clip describing how the artifact was crafted or a video game that mimics an ancient game played by the people in the 8th century. This kind of tourist guide app cannot be realized unless they can recognize the position where the user is located. This paper develops an indoor-outdoor positioning Android app that is an essential part of tourist guide apps. Our indoor- outdoor positioning app uses the GPS receiver for outdoor positioning whereas it uses the dead reckoning method for indoor positioning. Our test results showed that our indoor-outdoor positioning app is accurate enough to be used for practical tourist guide apps.
