| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The project has two main achievements. First, it is the design and implementation of the proof of concept of the system that includes (1) VLC-based positioning system, (2) a prototype receiver for smartphone/table mounted on smart cart using a newly developed location identification (ID) exchange protocol to communicate with VLC beacon, and (3) recommendation on framework of cloud-based sale data analysis based on R supporting user shopping experience. Secondly, we study the feasibility of enabling technologies supporting the framework of smart supermarket environment, including broadband multi-user VLC data network, video streaming over Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP/2) with a special attention to technique to improve the user quality of service and quality of experience, security issues of VLC networks in the context of multiple users. In addition, we also develop a new ultra-sound positing method to improve the accuracy and scalability of VLC-based indoor positioning system.
