Abstract:
1. A method of determining the spatial position of an electronic device located in an indoor area, the method comprising: sending a request signal through the electronic device, for determining the spatial position of the electronic device, to a server arrangement, through a plurality of cell towers and a wireless network, the request signal containing information related to the cell towers and parameters pertaining to a strength of the request signal; receiving the request signal at the server arrangement; processing the received request signal in the server arrangement and matching the information and parameters of the received request signal to stored spatial coordinates and generating spatial coordinate data from the spatial coordinates pertaining to the spatial position of the electronic device; and communicating the spatial coordinate data to the electronic device, and using the electronic device to process the spatial coordinate data for determining the spatial position by matching the spatial coordinate data to indoor location data stored in the electronic device, wherein the determined spatial position is an indoor location obtained from the indoor location data, wherein the electronic device is further configured to:
