UWB Smartphone Downlink Positioning (Recommended)
- Large venues with multiple halls, entrances, and booths require fast and accurate guidance from entrance to destination.
- Provides only approximate location information; accuracy decreases in crowded environments, making precise navigation difficult.
- Requires backend calculation; route updates are slower and nearby booths may be misidentified.
- ✓ Booth-level positioning accuracy with local smartphone computation; fast route updates enable clear navigation from entrance to booth.
- Popular booths may create congestion; organizers need real-time crowd awareness and route optimization.
- Cannot accurately identify crowd distribution, making congestion response delayed.
- Limited response capability during peak hours, affecting real-time guidance.
- ✓ Real-time visibility of booth and aisle traffic; supports multiple users simultaneously and guides visitors through optimized routes.
- Different visitors have different interests and require relevant recommendations instead of mass notifications.
- Cannot identify specific booth visits or dwell locations, reducing recommendation accuracy.
- Location data processing is slower, causing delayed recommendations.
- ✓ Accurately identifies visitor location and dwell time, enabling personalized recommendations without unnecessary interruptions.
- Exhibitors need visitor flow, dwell time, and engagement data to evaluate exhibition effectiveness.
- Visitor statistics are inaccurate and cannot confirm actual visits or dwell behavior.
- Data processing and interaction feedback may be delayed.
- ✓ Provides accurate visitor trajectories, dwell time, and movement paths for detailed post-event analysis and ROI evaluation.
