Proximity marketing solution tailored to user needs

We present a prototype for a straightforward proximity marketing solution (PROMO) over heterogeneous smart phones tailored to the needs of individual users. The system is based on the collection of Wi-Fi fingerprints in an environment, and sends data to the users' smart phones based on their interests and their location. We believe that our system has high potential because, differently from existing similar solutions, it is highly customizable and works also in indoor environments. The market validity is further confirmed by the decision to fund the development of this prototype taken by the Swiss Innovation Promotion Agency (CTI-No 11556.1).
