Working with mobile app developers to enable indoor location based services
- 1. #ATM16 Working with mobile app developers to enable indoor location-based services Diana Laboy-Rush, App Developer Evangelist March 9, 2016 @ArubaNetworks |
- 2. 2#ATM16 Topics of Discussion • What is a Software Development Kit (SDK)? • Meridian SDKs for Location Based Mobile Apps • Phases of Mobile App Development Project • Benefits of a Custom App Developer • App Developer Partners • Sample Projects with SDK Integration • Custom Technology Integration
- 3. 3 What is a Software Development Kit? Also known as “SDK” (and slightly incorrectly as “API”): A package that a software developer can download that allows them to embed certain third party features into their existing mobile app. • SDKs do not allow a customer to build an app from scratch on their own. • SDKs are specific to the operating system (OS) of the mobile device. • SDKs require a mobile app developer to embed the SDK code tools into an existing mobile app code base.
- 4. 4#ATM16 What is a Software Development Kit? Compare an SDK to a Garmin car navigation system, and a venue’s mobile app to the car itself. And a mobile app OS to the make of the car. – Mercedes still needs to build the car – Mercedes would outsource a 3rd party system for car navigation – Mercedes can’t just tape a Garmin GPS computer inside it; an engineer/electrician needs to wire and configure it to the main system of the car. – This wiring/configuration process will be different for different types of cars (Mercedes, Toyota, Chrysler, Ford, etc.)
- 5. 5#ATM16 What is a Software Development Kit? User view of an SDK feature embedded into a venue’s app: What’s behind the hood:
- 7. 7 Meridian SDKs are available for Android and iOS
- 8. 8#ATM16 Meridian SDKs allow a customer to add certain Meridian features to their existing mobile app: 1. NavKit to add self-guided wayfinding features. 2. BluDotKit* to add “Blue Dot,” real-time mapping feature. 3. CampaignKit* to add proximity-based notification feature. * BluDotKit and ZoneKit also require Aruba Beacon Hardware CampaignKitNavKit BluDotKit

To Replace the Picture on this Sample Slide (this applies to all slides in this template that contain replaceable pictures) Select the sample picture and press Delete. Click the icon inside the shape to open the Insert Picture dialog box. Navigate to the location where the picture is stored, select desired picture and click on the Insert button to fit the image proportionally within the shape. Note: Do not right-click the image to change the picture inside the picture placeholder. This will change the frame size of the picture placeholder. Instead, follow the steps outlined above. Tip: use the Crop tool to reposition a picture within a placeholder. From the Picture Tools Format tab on the ribbon, click the Crop button. Click and drag the picture within the placeholder to reposition. To scale the picture within the placeholder (while Crop is active), grab a round corner handle and drag to resize. Hold Shift key to constrain picture aspect ratio when resizing.

However, as Matthew Cook, Emerging Technologies Librarian for OU explained, it can be complicated to navigate. “It's an intimidating building, especially for first-time users, which include many of our incoming freshmen, and it’s a bit obscure. The resources and services are not immediately apparent when you walk in the front door,” Cook said. Cook noted that OU relies on the accessibility features built into the Meridian Mobile App Platform so they can provide users with disabilities the easiest route to elevators, for example, or during a storm, guide students using the library to the safest location. Said Cook, “Beyond the obvious convenience and efficiency the app brings our users, there’s a safety and security element as well.”
