ABSTRACT
As the human civilization entered the modern age from the medieval age, business and markets was made a strong support in the economy of any region. The success rate of any business or market relies not only with its management but also with the customers. The responses from the customers can determine the future of any business. Then there arrives the need for making new step for the better interactions with the customers. The management must provide the customer with better and sophisticated specifications.
As world grown as a global village, the commodities from any corner of the world are made available anywhere. It also converted the concept of singular markets to super markets or hyper markets where customers are given full freedom to determine what to buy. Hence a better system must be provided for the customers that can make their shopping practices much simpler.
This project is aimed at building an embedded application which can be connected on a shopping cart which hyper-markets have which also is in constant connection with a computer within the premises of the building. The User can have a delight as they see the information about the product and the current net bill amount, as they selects the items and put into the cart.
In a brief, the working can be described as follows. When user puts an item into the shopping cart, he shoes it on a reader (preferably an RFID reader) which reads the unique identifier of the item which was already placed on it. The equipment on the cart then transfers this unique identifier to the application on the computer at the POS [Point of Sale] of the super market, which communicates with the database, retrieves the details of the item and sent back it to the cart. Now user can have a glance of the important details of the item from the display on the equipment on the cart along with current bill amount.
