Message of interest: A framework of location-aware messaging for an indoor environment

Widespread adoption of smartphones brought significant technical advances in technology in today's world. As a consequence, however, it has almost become impossible for us to separate our personal lives from work. Work-life balance is hard to achieve in the current scenario: our business emails keep arriving on our phones even when we are at home or on the beach. Our research goal is to develop and deploy a location-aware messaging framework that is based on indoor location detection. This framework will only deliver messages when users are at work. The system uses beacon technologies to accurately determine the position of a user inside a building. The users, in return, communicate with the system using an application running on their smartphones. The framework delivers customized messages according to the user (i.e. it can distinguish between the owner and visitor in the same location).
