using 10.2 tablets, customer can order and pay for meals.
with the GPS built in position in the restaurant can be determine and translated to table an place at the table. the staff have to be trained to put the tables in preconfigured places and ways. the payment allows for spiting the bill and manually Entering the CC info for each that is paying or use the attached card swipe. |
Nice idea but I don't think this would work very well unless you were
eating alfresco! GPS signals don't penetrate buildings very well and triangulation using cell tower signals would mean you would have to place each table several hundred yards apart!

Maybe each table could have a QR code. Scan the square, and then enter
your order. -Adrian On 1/8/2012 5:21 PM, David Legg wrote: > Nice idea but I don't think this would work very well unless you were > eating alfresco! > > GPS signals don't penetrate buildings very well and triangulation > using cell tower signals would mean you would have to place each table > several hundred yards apart! > > David Legg > > On 08/01/12 16:34, BJ Freeman wrote: >> using 10.2 tablets, customer can order and pay for meals. >> with the GPS built in position in the restaurant can be determine and >> translated to table an place at the table. >> the staff have to be trained to put the tables in preconfigured places >> and ways. >> the payment allows for spiting the bill and manually Entering the CC >> info for each that is paying or use the attached card swipe. >> >> > |

When I do surveys for OpenStreetmap.org I take my GPS unit outside and
traverse the street/path/road etc in both directions to get a good average set of nodes. On a good day here in the UK I can get the accuracy down to a few feet using a Garmin eTrex Vista HCx. But that's only after letting the unit track all available satellites for a minute or two. Getting sufficient signal inside a multi-story building is pretty difficult. I've started testing a Samsung Galaxy Tablet and using Google maps to show where you are causes your position to jump about as the unit flips between the different methods of locating your position.

GPS Differential Beacon Signal (DGPS) receivers deliver positions
accurate to within 10 meters, and potentially to 1 meter. these rebroacast in a building gives fairly accurate measurements.

You have to use a Blue Tooth solution inside a building to get accurate position.

I have a device that plugs into the 10.2 mPCIe
the 10.2 is custom. shi.jinghai sent the following on 1/8/2012 1:50 PM: > You have to use a Blue Tooth solution inside a building to get accurate position. > > > On 2012-1-9, at 上午3:05, BJ Freeman wrote: > >> GPS Differential Beacon Signal (DGPS) receivers deliver positions >> accurate to within 10 meters, and potentially to 1 meter. >> these rebroacast in a building gives fairly accurate measurements. >> >> David Legg sent the following on 1/8/2012 10:42 AM: >>> When I do surveys for OpenStreetmap.org I take my GPS unit outside and >>> traverse the street/path/road etc in both directions to get a good >>> average set of nodes.
