摘要
本論文中，我們提出一套為購物中心所設計的購物系統，名為“行動購物系統”，未來消費者在購物中心購物時，不再需要將商品放到購物車裡。此行動購物系統具備ZigBee無線網路、RFID與MySQL資料庫，並以掌上購物車取代傳統的購物車。消費者不僅可以觀看架上的商品，還可以使用掌上購物車從商品的RFID標籤中讀取編號，並透過無線網路向後端的資料庫查詢更多該商品的詳細資訊，當消費者決定購買時，只要將商品編號儲存於掌上購物車的購物籃內，不必再推著龐大又笨重的傳統購物車繼續遊逛購物中心。相似於商品編號查詢，消費者也可藉由商品類別向資料庫查詢特定類別的商品資訊，並將欲購買的商品編號儲存於購物籃中。結束購物時，消費者只要在掌上購物車上按一下按鈕便可藉由無線網路通知購物中心的後端準備好所有購買的商品。此外消費者可將掌上購物車與數個小型無線網路裝置藉由無線網路的綁定方法，創立個人的網路群組，其中小型無線網路裝置為朋友或家人所配戴，之後消費者既可從掌上購物車監控群組內所有成員的位置。整個系統設計的目的是為了提供消費者更輕鬆、舒適的購物體驗。

In this thesis, we proposed a new shopping system, named Mobile Shopping System (MSS), for future large shopping malls where users no longer need to put all goods in the cart during shopping. The MSS is implemented with technologies including ZigBee networks, RFID, and MySQL database. Handheld Shopping Carts (HSCs) are developed to replace the traditional shopping cart. A customer can look and check goods on the shelf in the mall. With a HSC, a customer can read the ID from the RFID tag of the good with interest and query the detail information about it from the back-end database wirelessly. Once the customer decides to purchase it, he/she just saves the ID in the basket of HSC. The customer can continue shopping without pull the traditional huge and heavy shopping cart. Similar to the query by good ID, customers can also use the category query to query the information about goods of a special category from the database and save all goods to purchase in the basket. To check out, a customer just clicks one button to wirelessly notify the back-end employee of the mall, who will prepare the goods. Moreover, a customer can create a personal group by binding with Small Wireless Network Devices (SWNDs) with the HSC. With SWNDs carried by friends or family, the customer can monitor the locations of all group members by the HSC. The design goal of the whole system is to provide easy and comfortable shopping experience.
