Abstract: This paper aims at developing a user-friendly mobile framework to guide mobile shopping via the guided position system (GPS) technology. Specifically, it first studied usability features that are crucial to mobile shopping via GPS by developing a framework with integrated user-friendly features. Second, 23 data flows are mapped and identified based on the framework to illustrate how to integrate these usability features into development. Third, the system analysis is performed based on both dynamic modelling (using data flow diagramming) and static modelling (using entity-relation diagramming). Fourth, the system design including database design and user interface design are performed. Finally, a prototype is developed with usability testing. This study concludes that the mobile shopping guided by GPS with usability emphasis is crucial to develop the efficient mobile shopping systems.
