SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR INDOOR POSITION DETERMINATION
A first message may be received from a first client device, on a first channel of a plurality of channels, wherein the first message includes: a request to identify a second client device of a plurality of client devices, wherein the plurality of client devices are located less than or equal to a threshold distance from the first client device and a first characteristic of a first application profile associated with the first client device. The second client device may be identified by comparing the first characteristic of the first application profile to a second characteristic of a second application profile of the second client device. A micro-location of the second client device may be determined. A second message on the first channel may be sent to the first client device, wherein the second message includes the micro-location of the second client device and the second application profile.

6 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
determining a meeting micro-location based on the first micro-location and the second micro-location; and
sending, to the first client device and to the second client device, a third message on the first channel of the plurality of channels, wherein the third message comprises the meeting micro-location.
7 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the first characteristic is associated with at least one of:
interests, likes, dislikes, age, or income of a user associated with the first application profile.
8 . The method of claim 1 , wherein determining the micro-location of the second client device comprises:
receiving a plurality of messages from a plurality of network devices that are located less than or equal to the threshold distance from the first client device; and
calculating the micro-position based on a plurality of micro-positions of the plurality of network devices and the plurality of messages.
9 . The method of claim 8 , wherein the plurality of network devices comprises the plurality of client devices.
10 . A system, comprising:
a computer processing device programmed to perform operations to:
receive, from a first client device, a first message on a first channel of a plurality of channels, wherein the first message comprises:
a request to identify a second client device of a plurality of client devices, wherein the plurality of client devices are located less than or equal to a threshold distance from the first client device; and
a first characteristic of a first application profile associated with the first client device;
identify the second client device by comparing the first characteristic of the first application profile to a second characteristic of a second application profile associated with the second client device;
determine a micro-location of the second client device; and
send, to the first client device, a second message on the first channel of the plurality of channels, wherein the second message comprises the micro-location of the second client device and the second application profile associated with the second client device.
11 . The system of claim 10 , the computer processing device further to:
receive a first plurality of messages on a second channel of the plurality of channels, each of the first plurality of messages sent from a different one of the plurality of client devices;
in response to receiving the first plurality of messages, determine a plurality of micro-locations, each of the plurality of micro-locations corresponding to a different one of the plurality of client devices; and
send, to the first client device, the plurality of micro-locations as they are determined.
12 . The system of claim 11 , wherein each of the plurality of messages comprises a micro-location security configuration.
13 . The system of claim 10 , wherein the second message to the first client device comprises instructions to display the micro-location using augmented reality or virtual reality on the first client device.
14 . The system of claim 10 , wherein the second message to the first client device comprises instructions to display the micro-location using on a map displayed on the first client device.
15 . The system of claim 10 , the computer processing device further to:
determine a meeting micro-location based on the first micro-location and the second micro-location; and
send, to the first client device and to the second client device, a third message on the first channel of the plurality of channels, wherein the third message comprises the meeting micro-location.
16 . The system of claim 10 , wherein the first characteristic is associated with at least one of: interests, likes, dislikes, age, or income of a user associated with the first application profile.
17 . The system of claim 10 , wherein to determine the micro-location of the second client device the computer processing device is to:
receive a plurality of messages from a plurality of network devices that are located less than or equal to the threshold distance from the first client device; and
calculate the micro-position based on a plurality of micro-positions of the plurality of network devices and the plurality of messages.
18 . The system of claim 17 , wherein the plurality of network devices comprises the plurality of client devices.
19 . A non-transitory computer-readable medium having instructions stored thereon that, when executed by a computer processing device, cause the computer processing device to:
receive, from a first client device, a first message on a first channel of a plurality of channels, wherein the first message comprises:
a request to identify a second client device of a plurality of client devices, wherein the plurality of client devices are located less than or equal to a threshold distance from the first client device; and
