1. Ubiquitous Shopper (UbiShop)
Seila Kheang
Adam Rea
Dustin Wells

2. The Problem
Everyone has a shopping list of items that they need to purchase
This list can be anything from groceries to tools to clothes
How many of us have gone to the mall to buy something and were not aware that we could purchase other items from our list in the mall?

3. Our solution
The Ubiquitous Shopper stores our shopping list on our personal server
Allows us to walk up to kiosks that may be set up in the mall
The kiosk would look at the shopping list and display the items that can be purchased in the mall

4. Scenario
Dustin arrives at the mall and has an idea of what he wants to purchase at the mall (a shirt at Abercrombie, some jeans from the Gap)
However he forgets the little things, like some batteries and a vacuum bag

5. Scenario He touches the screen and a Bluetooth connection is initiated
The kiosk retrieves the shopping list from the personal server and does a comparison of the mall’s inventory list
A new list is created and the kiosk displays the items that can be purchased in the mall

6. Scenario
Now he is aware of all of the things he can buy at the mall

7. Major Components Contact Technology XML Lists Bluetooth
Transfer hardware address to the kiosk
XML Lists
Stored on both the kiosk and the personal server
Bluetooth
Connection establishment and file transfer between the personal server and the kiosk

9. List Comparison

10. Important Issues
Contact Technology – Will it be ready in time for us to integrate it into the project?
Defining the organization of the XML lists so that the personal server and the kiosk have a uniform method of communication

11. Initial Division of Labor
Dustin: XML Expert
Responsible for developing XML list for our scenario and finding an XML parser
Seila: Bluetooth guy
Initiating the Bluetooth connection and file transfer across the link
Adam: Getting the hardware address of the personal server onto the kiosk
Using Contact to accomplish this
Also looking into alternate flows
