Title
GroFin: enhancing in-store grocery shopping with a context-aware smartphone app
Abstract
Grocery shopping is a regular necessity typically conducted in-store, with available alternatives such as online grocery shopping still not fully established yet. To address challenges experienced by shoppers in a store environment, two supporting modes were derived, implemented in a prototypical smartphone application using a minimal attention user interface and evaluated in an experimental field study. The two supporting modes consist of a novel map representation of shopping lists and a contextual proximity notification system. The evaluation results show an increase in efficiency in the process of grocery shopping, resulting in reduced shopping time, optimized shopping paths in the store, minimized dependency on external support and preservation of the shopper's cognitive effort. Acceptance of the introduced supporting modes was high which is a crucial indicator for future work.
