Realization of Autonomous Guidance Service by Integrating Information from NFC and MEMS

In this paper, we present an autonomous guidance service by combinating the position information
from NFC and the orientation information from 6 a 6 axis acceleration and
terrestrial magnetism sensor. We developed an algorithm to calculate the device orientation 
based on the data from acceleration and terrestrial magnetism sensor.With this function,
a autonomous guidance service can be provided, according the visitors's position and orientation.
This service may be convient for old people or disables or children.
