I. INTRODUCTION

With the improvement of living standards, most big shopping malls experienced reconstruction and scale expansion. Currently, shopping malls are bigger with more abundant goods and more variety of wares. People are in the pursuit of high quality consumer goods. At the same time, the pursuit of efficient shopping is gradually revealed. To solve the difficulty in customer shopping, large stores have launched a mall layout map, Touch Mall shopping system, and other shopping guide newsletter. In recent years, shopping guide has become a hot career. Shopping guide mall layout map is most common in the mall as a shopping guide, which shows the customers position and the layout of mall section directly. However, it may be little help for those first time customers or customers with bad sense of direction. Touch mall shopping guide system is the electronic version of shopping guide and mall layout map. This system is rare in domestic malls with high maintaining cost, thus is not suitable for small and medium sized shopping centers. Express Shopping newsletter notifies the customers with recent promotions, and can provide convenience for shopping. Yet the newsletter imposes threat to resource and environment, for its color ink printing paper. On the other hand, the rising living standards are reflected in the mobile phone popularization. The phone is upgrading with each passing day, and now the Internet access, picture taking has become the basic function of a mobile phone. GPS (Global Positioning System) function is implanted in smart phone, and the built in electronic map can help its holder acquire the surrounding information and make a choice. With the ever changing mobile phone functions, the production cost of smart phones is continuously reduced. For common users, the innovative shopping guide service will be very popular if the cost is lowered enough. This paper presents a proposal of shopping guide service using smart phone as the carrier. The system will identify the QR code through the mobile phone cameras, and then give out the shopping recommendation through comprehensive evaluation of mall location, sales promotion, customer buying behavior analysis, with the help of browsing WAP pages through GPRS or 3G web.

Fig 1 Latest statistics of global share of smart phones (From Net Applications) A smartphone is a mobile phone built on a mobile operating system, with more advanced computing capability and connectivity than a feature phone.[1][2][3] The first smartphones combined the functions of a personal digital assistant (PDA) with a mobile phone. Later models added the functionality of portable media players, low-endcompact digital cameras, pocket video cameras, and GPS navigation units to form one multi-use device. Modern smartphones also include high-resolution touchscreens and web browsers that display standard web pages as well as mobile-optimized sites. High-speed data access is provided by WiFi and Mobile Broadband. The most common mobile operating systems (OS) used by modern smartphonesinclude Google's Android, Apple's iOS, Nokia's Symbian, RIM's BlackB erry OS, Samsung's Bada,Microsoft's Windows Phone, Hewlett-Packard's webOS, and embedded Linux distributions such as Maemo and MeeGo. Such operating systems can be installed on many different phone models, and typically each device can receive multiple OS software updates over its lifetime. The distinction between smartphones and feature phones can be vague, and there is no official definition for what constitutes the difference between them. One of the most significant differences is that the advanced application programming interfaces (APIs) on smartphones for running third-party applications[9] can allow those applications to have better integration with the phone's OS and hardware than is typical with feature phones. In comparison, feature phones more commonly run on proprietary firmware, with third-party software support through platforms such as Java ME or BREW.[1] An additional complication in distinguishing between smartphones and feature phones is that over time the capabilities of new models of feature phones can increase to exceed those of phones that had been promoted as smartphones in the past.

Data flow
The diagram below shows the data flow for a normal, successful authentication using tiqr:

The diagram shows the following steps: 1. The user surfs to a web site and is required to log in 2. The web site displays a QR code 3. The user scans the QR code using the tiqr App on his or her phone, confirms login and enters his/her PIN 4. The users identity together with the response to the challenge encoded in the QR tag is sent to the server using the phones Internet connection 5. The server validates the response and authorises login 6. The browser reloads the page and the user is logged in

II. MARKET DEMAND AND ANALYSIS

Literally, shopping guide hopes to guide the customer shopping process. Customers entering the store often be confused by the complicated layout and wide varieties of goods, which impede the implementation of purchasing behavior. Shopping guide is to remove the various concerns of the customer, and help the customers purchase desired goods. Shopping guide is an important link to complete the whole sales working, to achieve the exchange process between commodity and currency. It is a difficult task to persuade customers taking money from his pocket to purchase your commodity. To complete this task, shopping malls launched promotions regularly, and notify potential customers in advance through printed flyers or SMS notifications to enhance customers desire. Low carbon living is a leading fashion today, yet the mall ads paper is a waste of resources and pollution of the environment. On the one side is the fierce competition between shopping malls, and the other is the threat tore sources and environment. How to solve this dilemma? Maybe the shopping guide can act as a solution. Product promotions and discount is the most important information desired by customers. If the customer is able to get the latest product promotions and discount information, as well as a shortest path from his location to the destination, the shopping can then be viewed as a pleasant process. To query information and route, the most obvious solution is to use GPS. The Global Positioning System (GPS) is a space based global navigation satellite system (GNSS) that provides reliable location and time information in all weather and at all times and anywhere on or near the Earth when there is an unobstructed line of sight to four or more GPS satellites.

Fig 2.1 Calculation formula of GPS location positioning In summary, GPS location based services are fantastic. But the GPS positioning precision is measured by number of satellite, and the GPS calculates the position from

the three worlds theory. GPS satellites are vulnerable to the effects of weather and terrain. On overcast or even rainy days, or in locations with huge buildings, GPS positioning effect is realty reduced, positioning errors may occur. Mall is a special environment. If you want to achieve the information query and route finding at the mall, through GPS location based service without additional equipment is basically impossible. So are there any other ways to achieve the above services? we propose QR codes to solve this problem. A QR Code is a specific matrix barcode (or two dimensional code), readable by dedicated QR barcode reader sand camera phones. The code consists of black modules arranged in a square pattern on a white background. The information encoded can be text, URL or other data. Common in Japan, where it was created by Toyota subsidiary Denso Wave in 1994, the QR code is one of the most popular types of two dimensional barcodes. QR is the abbreviation for Quick Response, as the creator intended to allow its contents to be decoded at high speed . We can store specific information into the QR Code. Identified through the phone's camera, the image information will be converted into data through GPRS or 3G after uploading to the server for comparison. It can also be done directly on their mobile phones, so you can not add any additional investment to acquire the information of shopping promotions and location services.

III. SYSTEM DESIGN AND IMPLEMENTATION

A. Design

In shopping malls, we will create unique QR codes to record the article name, number, latitude and longitude location of goods placed, and so on. We will digitize the map of shopping mall or a counter, then store them into the phone. Phone Recognizes the QR Code through the camera. After being recognized and converted, the code will be compared with the data of electronic maps. Then it will identify the customers current regions, provide different services according to customers choice. Let customer receive the latest promotions of businesses; find the best route from his current location to the destination. System will automatically upload the QR Codes information, which is recognized by customer, to the Web server records via GPRS or 3G networks, providing data support for other services in the future.

Fig 3.1Schematic diagram of a mall shopping guide The proposed system is composed of two parts, namely the mobile front end application and website background services program. Both of the two pieces is independent and interdependent. Mobile frontend applications is a core part of the system, for QR Code recognition and information displays. Website background services program is the data platforms of a system, informing customers the latest promotions of shopping mall via SMS text messaging service WAP browsing services. The frontend application of the mobile is designed and developed using Adobe Flash, and website background service program is designed by use of PHP Web programming language. Mobile App is a customer service platform. Users can download the program to the Smart phone, and install it. It will be used only after successful installation. For shopping users, you can start the program at the counter with QR code labeled merchandise. With your phone camera focus on the QR symbol, the system will automatically recognize the data in the QR code. Website background services are data centers. Users can browse data by frontend

software installed on the phone.Thisdata center will store submitted data and the data in QR codes for identification by the phone software. 1 The development environment Adobe Flash (formerly Macromedia Flash) is a multimedia platform used to add animation, video, and interactivity to web pages. Flash is frequently used for advertisements and games. More recently, it has been positioned as a tool for "Rich Internet Applications" ("RIAs").Action Script is an object oriented language originally developed by Macromedia Inc. (now owned by Adobe Systems). It is a dialect of ECMA Script (meaning it has the same syntax and semantics of the more widely known Java Script), and is used primarily for the development of websites and software targeting the Adobe Flash Player platform, run on Web pages in the form of embedded SWF files. The language itself is open source in that its specification is offered free of charge and both an open source compiler (as part of Adobe Flex) and open source virtual machine (Mozilla Tamarin) are available .2 Application platform Most smart phones can support Flash Lite 4 (Flash Player for smart phones), and some can even run Flash Player 10 (e.g. Android). Due to the cross platform feature of Adobe Flash, it can be more easily to implant from PC to the phone. 3 QR Code QR code data capacity Numeric code only Max. 7,089 characters Alphanumeric Max. 4,296 characters Binary (8 bits) Max. 2,953 bytes Kanji/Kana Max. 1,817 characters Error correction capacity Level L 7% of code words can be restored. Level M 15% of code words can be restored. Level Q 25% of code words can be restored. Level H 30% of code words can be restored. QR codes use the ReedSolomon error correction .

Japanese language (Kanji/Kana)

Maximum of 1,817 characters

Codes are also known for their high data capacity. QR-Codes have become more popular than the typical barcode as the typical barcode can only hold a maximum of 20 digits, whereas the QR-Code can hold up to 7,089 characters. QR codes are also known for their high data capacity. There for a QR code is capable of handling several dozens to several hundred times more information.QR codes are also able to encode symbols which are great for other countries who speak a different language to use them. Not only does a QR code use less space than a conventional bar-code but it also can be damaged and missing up to 30% of the code from damage or wear and it will still be able to be read. Conventional bar-codes had to be scanned in certain directions where a QR code can be scanned at 360 degrees and even integrated into graphics and shown at any angle and can still be read.

structure of QR code symbol

Each QR code symbol is constituted by nominally square modules, to form a square array, which consists of encoding regions and functioning regions, including target search, separator, image and graphics features, positioning and correction of graphics. Functioning regions cannot be used for data encoding. The symbols are surrounded by blank space around, as shown in followed figure.

Fig 3.2Structure of QR code symbol QR code symbol has a total of 40 kinds of specifications, namely version 1, version 2, until version 40. Specifications of version 1 is 2121, and version 2 is 2525, and so on. Each version increases with 4 modules on each side than the previous version, up to version 40, specifications of177177 .

Version 1, 21x21, 10-25 alphanumeric chars

Version 2, 25x25, 20-47 alphanumeric chars

Version 3, 29x29, 35-77 alphanumeric chars

Version 4, 33x33, 50-114 alphanumeric chars

Version 10, 57x57, 174-395 alphanumeric chars

Version 40, 177x177, 1,8524,296 alphanumeric chars

Fig:3.3Various version of QR code

Barcodes such as the UPC have become a ubiquitous element of modern civilization, as evidenced by their enthusiastic adoption by stores around the world; almost every item other than fresh produce from a grocery store, department store, and mass merchandiser has a UPC barcode on it.[citation needed] This helps track items and also reduces instances of shoplifting involving price tag swapping, although shoplifters can now print their own barcodes.[12] In addition, retail chain membership cards (issued mostly by grocery stores and specialty "big box" retail stores such as sporting equipment, office supply, or pet stores) use bar codes to uniquely identify consumers, allowing for customized marketing and greater understanding of individual consumer shopping patterns. At the point of sale, shoppers can get product discounts or special marketing offers through the address or e-mail address provided at registration. Barcodes can allow for the organization of large amounts of data. They are widely used in the healthcare and hospital settings, ranging from patient identification (to access patient data, including medical history, drug allergies, etc.) to medication management. They are also used to facilitate the separation and indexing of documents that have been imaged in batch scanning applications, track the organization of species in biology,[13] and integrate with in-motion checkweighers to identify the item being weighed in a conveyor line fordata collection. They can also be used to keep track of objects and people; they are used to keep track of rental cars, airline luggage, nuclear waste,registered mail, express mail and parcels. Barcoded tickets allow the holder to enter sports arenas, cinemas, theatres, fairgrounds, and transportation, and are used to record the arrival and departure of vehicles from rental facilities etc. This can allow proprietors to identify duplicate or fraudulent tickets more easily. Barcodes are widely used in shop floor control applications software where employees can scan work orders and track the time spent on a job Barcodes are also used in some kinds of non-contact 1D and 2D position sensors. A series of barcodes are used in some kinds of absolute 1D linear encoder. The barcodes are packed close enough together that the reader always has one or two barcodes in its field of view.

B. Implementation
This system has two important steps, QR code generation and recognition. 1 Generation of QR codes QR codes used to identify the goods are generated according to specific protocols, thus its necessary to design and produce a QR code symbol generator. This system usesActionScript3 open source QR code symbol generation algorithm to design the QR code symbols generator based on Adobe Flash, which can generate QR code symbol in accordance with the QR code recognition protocol. The symbol will then be used to represent the tag of shelf goods.

Fig 3.4Interface of QR code symbol generator 2 Recognition of QR code This system uses ActionScript3 open source QR code symbol recognition algorithm , which is the reverse of algorithm generated by QR code symbol. We design the QR code symbol recognition through this algorithm by using Adobe Flash. For the QR code symbols are used to expand their storage contents, it is easy to identify as long as the QR code symbol is standard..

IV. CONCLUSION

This article presented a mall shopping guiding solution. The difference from other shopping guide is that it achieved regional positioning and shopping guide by using QR code symbol recognition run on a common smart mobile phone. Using our system, one can obtain information of the location and the surroundings of a shopping mall. The system can also help shopping mall to mine customer data more accurately and scientifically. This system is still at an experimental stage, high CPUutilization of QR code symbol identifying needs to be improved. Different from PC application, CPU utilization rate will directly affects the durability of mobile phone batteries.
