With the rapid development of science and technology, intelligent control technology represented by artificial intelligence has reached all fields of human life. Among them, smart retail is an important branch of IOT (Internet of Things) and artificial intelligence, and a sophisticated smart shopping system will become an integral part of future shopping model.
In today's life going to supermarkets for shopping is increasing rapidly. People take the item and put it into trolley. After done with shopping, they go for billing at the Billing counter but as there are many people standing in Queue for billing purpose, So lot of time is required for the individuals for billing because of existing barcode technology.
Smart shopping systems mainly focused on low/high frequency RFID which have inadequate ranges, and leave customers to manually scan items with RFID scanner. In the existing system, humans are used for monitoring the product quality and quantity in supermarket, so the manual faults may occur. Reducing the time consumed while waiting in long queues during the checkout process in a supermarket is one of the core objectives in improving the shopping experience of customers.
Currently, the main shopping manner for consumers is to shop in a large shopping mall or supermarket. In particular, supermarkets have a wide range of products and options, and consumers usually purchase food and daily necessities in supermarkets. Supermarkets usually have shopping carts that are convenient for customers to purchase goods.
The shopping bad border in supermarket is continued to optimize, and scale constantly expands, and type of merchandize and quantity also increase gradually, meanwhile also brings many problems. The commodity wanting to buy accurately cannot be found quickly in supermarket, the client embracing baby becomes comparatively numerous and diverse because making shopping without infant seat, there will be at shopping peak load conditions and arrange very queue wait clearing, supermarket employs cashier to add a lot of cost, the monitored control system in supermarket usually can not the full-shape monitoring that falls cause occurring stolen phenomenon, it is more inconvenient that sleety weather can make cleanup crew clean the work in supermarket, fresh food can cause certain pollution etc. problems to have impact on the purchase experiences of customer all to a certain extent together with placing with other food, and then affect the benefit in supermarket. Therefore, on address more problems, design intelligent shopping trolley be extremely urgent.
There is a system for manual billing which had been followed in every transaction market places, where it uses barcode of every product for billing which had been carried out by barcode reader. These systems required manual operation, so human staffs are required for its functioning. Each product being sold may be of lower cost but the total expense a company make for the selling is higher and getting the product detail exactly is difficult and time consuming at the same time. Drawbacks of the prior art systems are as 1)Works only in short range 2) After complete shopping, we have to pay in general way .3) Admin can’t see product details 4)Labor is high.
So there is a need for a secure smart shopping system based on Internet of things (IOT). The use of the RFID embedded with the shopping cart is used for a smart shopping system. All the items in the mall are coupled with the tags, which automatically detects the price on the tag and is updated by reading the details of the respective product. The malls are installed with smart shelves which are coupled with RFID readers. So in this way, the inventory list of all the products in the mall is maintained and improves stock maintenance.
OBJECTS OF THE INVENTION:
The main object of the present invention is to provide a secure smart shopping system based on Internet of things (IOT).
Another object of the present invention to automatically detect the price on the tag and is updated by reading the details of the respective product.
Yet another object of the invention is to improve stock maintenance and to maintain the inventory list of all the products in the mall.
Other objects and benefits of the present invention will be more apparent from the following description, which is not intended to bind the scope of the present invention.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION:
Accordingly, a secure smart shopping system based on Internet of things (IOT) is disclosed. A secure smart shopping system based on Internet of things (IOT) comprising of; a RFID reader in the smart cart for reading the tags; a microcontroller installed on the cart for data processing; an LCD touch screen as the user interface; a weight sensor for weighing items; Billing unit for carrying out the process for completion of billing; and Sending all the information to the database of the website.
DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS:
Fig 1 is the flowchart for the secure smart shopping system based on Internet of things (IOT).
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION WITH RESPECT TO DRAWINGS:
The present invention is a secure smart shopping system based on Internet of things (IOT). The present invention helps in provide a secure smart shopping system based on Internet of things (IOT).The present invention automatically detect the price on the tag and is updated by reading the details of the respective product and to improve stock maintenance and to maintain the inventory list of all the products in the mall.
In one embodiment, each smart cart is with a RFID reader for reading the tags, a microcontroller, an LCD touch screen, a weight sensor.
A microcontroller is installed on the cart for data processing and a LCD touch screen as the user interface. Through Wifi, data exchange is carried out. a Weight scanner for weighing items and a RFID reader is set before the entrance door and exit door. The present system carries out automatic monitoring of the product quality so the customer satisfaction is achieved using the system of the present invention.
A product has an RFID tag which is placed in the cart, the billing information with respect to that cart is updated by reading the details of the respective product. The malls are installed with smart shelves are also with RFID readers, which will help in maintaining an inventory list of all the products in the mall and hence improve stock maintenance. An LCD display is also installed in the cart which displays the details of available products in the cart and the overall price of all the items. This all process of sale is carried out through mobile without standing in long queue for the checkout process. All the information regarding sale, name of the customer, is maintained in the database of the website. Billing unit carries out the process for completion of billing and all the information is sent to main billing unit which calculates the total amount of purchased items and sends the calculated bill to the database of the website. As the trolley is displaying all the bill on LCD. Trolley number and total amount of purchased items are calculated and sent to the customer.
Remote correspondences among the different servers, trucks, and things are defenseless against different assaults. Security problems likewise exist including similar framework the contender of any store may get simple access to the flow of items for budgetary procedure. Moreover, client inclinations can be gathered by effectively gathering the item data in customers' shopping baskets.
In another embodiment, If the customer wants to remove the item from the trolley, then cost of that item gets subtracted from the total bill during the process. At last the bill gets calculated in the main server. The android application is divided into two parts which includes trolley movement controller and outline map display. The android app is first paired with the trolley to control the movements. The map shows the outline of the shop which shows the customers where the particular items are present. This sets the purchase in ease. It becomes easy for the store to do inventory management as all items can be automatically read and easily logged on.
Thus, an alert with detailed log pops up instantly in the system, which reminds the managers of unexpected events. Then, the smart WIP starts communicating with other machine tools in the smart job shop to find a proper one according to the preset rules and incidence relationship matrix. After that, the process command is updated in the smart WIPs active RFID tag. Note that this kind of production control is real-time, autonomous, and transparent. Finally, through big data analysis, some hidden rules and knowledge are achieved.
