ABSTRACT

In always-online environment that allows consumers to be online anytime, anyplace, the next step will be the integration of online and offline markets and there is a possibility that the role of offline retailers shifts to that of a displayer. When this occurs, appropriate technological devices and business models should be explored so that both displayers and retailers can benefit. To this end, this paper proposes an Auto-Identification technology (e.g. RFID)-based pervasive comparison shopping business model. The auto-identification technology will allow consumers to be seamlessly connected to the network, and the advent of a new shopping network will enable an incentive mechanism between displayers and retailers. Ultimately, a new shopping network will enable consumers to be engaged in seamless commerce.

A Payment and Receipt Business Model in U-Commerce Environment

Lee, K., Ju, J., Jeong, M., A Payment and Receipt Business Model in U-Commerce Environment, Proceedings of the 8th International Conference on Electronic Commerce, p.319-324, Fredericton, Canada, 2006.pdf

ABSTRACT

The key to U-payment is convenience and security in the transfer of financial information. The purpose of this paper is to find a desirable U-payment scheme promoting seamlessness and privacy with a consumer device and peer-based information transactions. We also propose a new business model through digital receipt which is evidence of commercial decision making and transaction. We propose U-PR (Ubiquitous Payment and Receipt) business model and method as a way to make transactions seamless, secure and privacy protected.

Incentive-based and Peer-oriented Design of Ubiquitous Commerce

Lee, K., Ju, J., Incentive-based and Peer-oriented Design of Ubiquitous Commerce, Proceedings of ICEIS(The 9th International Conference on Enterprise Information Systems)-2007, pp.623-631, Portugal, June 12-16, 2007.pdf

 Abstract

Seamlessness is the keyword of U-Commerce which may be defined as the commercial interaction among providers, consumers, products, and services, enabled and supported especially by the real-world seamless communication of each entity and object’s digital information. However, the possibility of the seamless transactions increases the privacy risk of the entities involved. Therefore, the core issue of U-Commerce is how to promote seamless transactions while protecting the privacy. For the seamlessness, the role of incentive-emphasized business model is important since the seamlessness makes clear which economic entities contribute to a commercial transaction. Economic entities will reject the seamless transactions unless the sufficient incentives are given to them. In order to consider the privacy issue, we suggest an alternative U-Commerce architecture based on Hybrid P2P Model and Personal Information Base.

 Abstract

This paper designs the ‘Tag Match’ advertising system which uses mobile RFID. Tag Match Advertising (TMA) combines features of the mobile RFID characteristics and content match advertising model on the Internet. TMA can be defined as ‘an advertising model, based on mobile RFID application, which offers advertisement for users after the consideration of users’ demographic information, the location and time when users scan a RFID tag and the content of the tag when users scan it’. This paper proposes the architectures and the user interface of TMA and evaluates the feasibilities of the business model by assessing the assumptions that are the basis of structured model.

A Peer-to-Peer CF-Recommendation for Ubiquitous Environment

Kim, H., Lee, K., Kim, J., A Peer-to-Peer CF-Recommendation for Ubiquitous Environment, Lecture Notes in Computer Science 4088: 678-683, 2006.pdf

Abstract

In ubiquitous environment where all entities can freely connect and collaborate with each other from anywhere, the amount of accessible information is overwhelming and desired information often remains unfound. So there is a growing need to provide the personalized recommendation services for the customers in ubiquitous space. This paper suggests a UREC_P2P (U-Recommendation by peer-to-peer), a recommendation procedure in ubiquitous environment adopting P2P technologies combined with collaborative filtering algorithm. UREC_P2P is implemented and comparatively evaluated with a CFbased recommender system in client-server environment. The evaluation result shows that UREC_P2P has a good potential to be a preeminent and realistic solution to the recommendation problems encountered in ubiquitous environment.
