摘要：How to help patients find their departments or wards is an issue that needs to be solved by hospitals urgently. This paper presents an iBeacon-based indoor positioning system for hospitals. It firstly analyzes the advantages of iBeacon compared with the common indoor positioning technologies; then designs the indoor positioning system for hospitals based on the three-layer architecture of Internet of things to have message-push-service through clients. Finally, the shortest distance algorithm Floyd is used to recommend the nearest department or ward to patients. Shown as result of the experiment, indoor positioning for hospitals can be realized by the system.
