Blockchain-Based Diversion-Point System for Balancing Customer Flow in Shopping Mall

Abstract: Changing the store layout of a shopping mall is usually costly in terms of time, resources, and money. Balancing customer flow is obviously an economical way to rationalize the store layout without displacing stores or changing their locations. However, it has long been a big challenge for managers of shopping malls, because it is difficult to build trust among stores for the sake of regulating customer flow. This trust depends on a multi-party cooperation model, of which the agreements are implemented on asym… Show more

“…Studies that have attempted to induce people flow have mainly been done by issuing coupons, and multiple incentive options have not been fully explored; Wang et al proposed a system to issue discount coupons to balance customer flow within commercial facilities [6]. Ieiri et al defined store attractiveness values and conducted a demonstration experiment using a street walking application that distributes points and money coupons so that the store attractiveness values of each store in a shopping district remain balanced [7].…”

“…It considers the reputation of the participants in the system, which is determined by their contribution to reduction of carbon emissions. Study [42] offers an original solution for balancing customer flow in shopping mall scenarios without expensive floor plan changes. The authors propose a blockchain-based diversion model for which they use a cascading consensus protocol inspired by MSig-BFT [43] and a mode of "execute-order-validate" in Hyperledger Fabric.…”
