Abstract
The Smartphone Based Shopping Assistant System (SBSAS) is an application platform, which delivers several ancillary real time services that can be used in warehouse-styled retail store (e.g., Costco). The application platform comprises Item Positioning System (IPS) and Item Information System (IIS). IPS assists in finding specific item in different stocks. IIS assists customers in producing or making records as shopping list, and provides personalized coupon, in order to make customers find convenience, delight and economization in shopping. A Store powered by the system is possible to increase sales performance and smooth the stream of customers; In addition, manufacturers and stores are allowed to cooperatively trade data with customers in purpose of market analyzing and producing personalized services for different customers.
There are three main functions in this system. First, customers can obtain detailed item information by selecting target item in customized item list; also add items toward shopping list. Second, customers are allowed to download two kinds of coupon, the Daily Promotion and the innovative “Hotwheel Promotion”. The Daily Promotion is a personalized coupon recommended by the system, and Hotwheel Promotion provides off-line game-liked access to obtain the coupon, which is combined with indoor positioning techniques. Third, customers are allowed to operate positioning and navigating functions in order to search target items in reality. After recognizing and decoding the QR-Code tags in environment to locate customers’ own position, one can obtain the optimized navigating routes by observing map, or operate SF (Stock Fluoroscope), which is a unique augmented reality system aiding customers to see the actual position of target item in screen through the camera lens. We concentrate on describing the designs and tests of SF, which is the core technology of this thesis.
