Its main contributions are: a) a user navigation component combining an RFID reader on the tip of a white cane and mobile technology, and b) a product recognition component that uses embossed QR codes placed on product shelves and an Android phone camera for their identification. Furthermore, it provides a web-based management component to easily configure the system, generating and binding barcode tags for product shelves and RFID tag markers attached to the supermarket floor.}, urldate = {2016-09-05TZ}, booktitle = {Proceedings of the 9th {International} {Conference} on {Toward} {Useful} {Services} for {Elderly} and {People} with {Disabilities}: {Smart} {Homes} and {Health} {Telematics}}, publisher = {Springer-Verlag}, author = {L\xf3pez-de-Ipi\xf1a, Diego and Lorido, Tania and L\xf3pez, Unai}, year = {2011}, note = {00019}, keywords = {QR codes, blind, mobile computing, navigation, web-services}, pages = {266--270} }"]
