Location Technology-Based Mobile Shopping Service System

In this paper, we propose a novel location technology-based shopping service system (LSSS); describe its design methodology and implementation detail. LSSS incorporates handheld terminals, resource management system and wireless location technology together to make a whole system. The service provided by the system can make customers in a shopping mall conveniently get product information, notice their current location, figure out proper shopping route when multiple choices are in the shopping list, obtain the navigation information and receive other related innovative services. The successful case experiments proved the feasibility of LSSS in real shopping practice.
