Abstract - Especially, it becomes more crowded on holidays.
People purchase different items in the malls and puts them in
the trolley. At the cash counter billing process is done using
bar code scanner. This is very time consuming process. To
avoid this we are developed a system which is called as
Automation of Shopping Cart using Smartphone. In this system
we are using RFID tags instead of barcodes. This RFID tags will
be on the product. Whenever the customer puts a product into
trolley it will get scanned by RFID reader and product price
and cost will be display on LCD display. Like this the process
goes on. The trolley follows us without any human effort. We
are using a GSM transmitter which will be at trolley which is
used to transfer the data to Mobile. In Smart Trolley app, the
amount will be sent and the payment will be done using
mobile. If a person interrupts other than the user there is
collision sensor to indicate.
Key Words: Trolley, LiFi , GSM Module, RFID tag, RFID
Reader, GSM Transmitter, ZigBee.
1. INTRODUCTION
The barcode system is no longer the best way to business
operation. Customers are tired of waiting in long, slowly
moving checkout line in departmental stores, especially, in
holidays. Now a days people are much attracted by the
online trading because of tedious time consuming process at
billing counter. People purchase different items in the malls
and puts them in the trolley. At the cash counter billing
process is done using bar code scanner. With the decrease of
prices through efficiencies of technology and large-scale
production of semiconductor wireless components, there
has been a search for new markets in which semiconductor
chips can be used. This has led to the use of RFID also known
as smart tags. RFID stands for Radio Frequency
Identification. Nowadays, if a consumer would like to buy
something at a shopping mall, consumers need to take the
particular items from the display shelf and then queue up
and wait for their turn to make payment. The time taken for
consumers to wait for the customers in front of the queue to
scan every single item and then followed by making payment
will definitely take plenty of time. Most consumers will
worry the amount of money brought is not enough to pay for
all the things that wanted to be bought until it comes to our
turn to pay at the cashier. If the technology of RFID is
implemented consumers will be able to get information of all
the items at shopping mall, total up the prices of items as
they shop, and save unnecessary time which is wasted
unnecessary at the cashier. Currently available method in
shopping malls is barcode method. In this method there are
barcode labels on each product which can be read through
specially designed barcode readers. A barcode reader (or
barcode scanner) is an electronic device for reading printed
barcodes. Like a flatbed scanner, it consists of a light source,
a lens and a light sensor translating optical impulses into
electrical ones. Additionally, nearly all barcode readers
contain decoder circuit to analyze the barcode's image data
provided by the sensor and sending the barcode's content to
the scanner's output port.
2. LITERATURE REVIEW
Zubin Thomas, Nikil Kumar and D. Jyothi Preshiya(2016)
had proposed that Automatic Billing System using Li-Fi
Module will be the effective way to reduce the human effort .
LiFi is cellular wireless networking (re)using lights.
Specifically, light emitting diodes (LEDs) are used in LiFi as
visible light transmitters. They proposed about the billing
done by the Lifi device. The Lifi is a costly device which is not
to be practically implemented in all malls, whereas the RFID
is used instead of LiFi.
Mr.P. Chandrasekar and Ms.T. Sangeetha(2014) proposed
that automated billing system using RFID and ZigBee
communication. Here, each product of shopping mall, super
markets will be provided with a RFID tag,to identify its type.
Each shopping cart is designed or implemented with a
Product Identification Device (PID) that contains
microcontroller, LCD, an RFID reader, EEPROM, and ZigBee
module. Purchasing product information will be read
through a RFID reader on shopping cart, mean while product
information will be stored into EEPROM attached to it and
EEPROM data will be send to Central Billing System through
ZigBee module. From this, the idea of using a PIC
Microcontroller instead of Zigbee has been utilized.
Udita Gangwal, Sanchita Roy, Jyotsna Bapat(2013) proposed
that Smart Shopping Cart for Automated Billing Purpose
using Wireless Sensor Networks. In that, WSN for developing
a Smart Shopping System which automates the entire billing
procedure. The system which is developed is highly reliable,
fair and cost-effective. It is reliable and fair because of the
effectiveness of WSN combined with a highly Image
Processing technique. The system also has energy constraint
