Network device navigation using a distributed wireless network

Abstract:

A system that includes a plurality of access points and a device tracking controller. The device tracking controller is configured to receive a navigation request identifying an item and to determine an item location for the item. The device tracking controller is further configured to receive signal strength information for the endpoint device from at least one access point from the plurality of access points. The device tracking controller is further configured to determine a location for the at least one access point and to determine a user location for the endpoint device based on the location of the at least one access point. The device tracking controller is further configured to determine a path between the user location and the item location within an environment and to send path instructions for the path to the endpoint device.
