Abstract: Internet of Things (IoT) is relying on exchange of information and work progress through radio frequency identification
(RFID), which is an emerging technology and one of the most important technology in the computing world. This kind of
technologies has found its applications in various fields ranging from healthcare, construction, smart shopping, hospitality to
transportation sector and many more. In this system, Billing can be generated from the shopping cart. The idea is to save customers
time by providing digital billing system which you get through the registered mail of our website. A compartment is kept in which
all the products are attached with RFID tags/cards. The benefit of this project exceeds the development of a smart world in a
particular field as inventory management becomes much easier, as well as all the items can be read by the RFID reader rather than
scanned manually by the laborer. Purchasing product information will get stored in the database. The billing will get generated at
the mobile display as well as on the server. This system shows how RFID technology makes life easier and secure and thus helpful
in the future. This system describes about IoT, concentrating its use in improving and securing the future
shopping.

The antenna emits the radio signals to activate the tag, the
reader encodes the data present in the    RFID tags. The tag
contains the microchip attached to the antenna, where the chip
can store up to 2 kilobytes of data. There are two types of RFID
tags available
1. Active Tags
2. Passive Tags
An Active RFID tag contains its own transmitter along with its
own power supply (which is    usually a battery)    for the
transmission of data    whereas a Passive RFID tag does not
contain its own power supply, it waits for the reader to send the
energy to the antenna which is converted to the radio waves to
transfer the data whenever the tag is present within the read
zone. RFID systems can operate at three different frequencies
1. Low Frequency (LF): operates at the frequency of 30
KHz to 300 KHz, and can be read within a range of
10cm.
2. High Frequency (HF): operates at the    frequency of
3MHz to 30MHz, and can be read within a range of
10cm to 1m.
3. Ultra-High    Frequency (UHF): operates at the
frequency of 300MHz to 3GHz, and can be read within
a range of 12m.
Our proposed system makes use of High-Frequency Passive tag.  durable when compared to barcodes. iv)    Barcode does not
The data transmitted by the    RFID tag is    stored in    the
database    and    it    is    further    processed    by    Raspberry    pi3
to generate the automatic bill. The system makes use of
Raspberry pi3 Model B. Raspberry pi3 is neither a
microprocessor nor microcontroller, it is a small computer with
the system on the chip( SoC),    which contains a    multi-core
processor,    I/O peripherals, USB port, ROM, RAM. Raspberry
pi3 uses either free or open    source software    which    helps in
expanding the learning environment. It also provides processor

to    understand    the hardware implementation from the basic
level.
In our smart shopping system,    we are replacing    RFID instead windows
of barcode because RFID has more advantages over barcode raspbian
which are listed above.
i. Barcodes needs sightline but RFID does not need
sightline. In    case    of    a system which has barcode and if an
item has to be read/scanned, the item and the scanner has to be
placed directly in front of each other or else the barcode won’t
scan the item properly. But in case of RFID it’s not the same.
Here the RFID reader and the item need not be in sightline
because they use radio waves to communicate with each other.
ii) Barcodes can only be read but RFID can be both read/write.
Barcode system    of shopping leads to lots of confusion because
barcodes can only be read and they cannot be rewritten. For
example, if in a store, and if there is a discount sale going on
and if the store employee has forgotten to apply the discount for
a particular item then he cannot apply the discount for the item
once again because barcodes cannot be rewritten/modified as
needed. But in case of RFID, the tags can we rewritten/modified
as needed.
iii) Barcodes are not durable but RFID are durable. If any
information has to be written on a barcode, it has to be printed
on paper labels which are not very strong and can be easily
damaged due to harsh climatic conditions and won’t give proper
results or else they are unreadable. But in case of RFID they are
usually protected by a hard case so that they can withstand heat
and harsh climatic conditions. Because of this RFID’s are more
encrypt data but RFID has the ability to encrypt the data.
Barcodes can easily be hacked and any third party user can
easily read the data because the data is always readable in
barcode. But in case of RFID, the information is very secure
because the information is in a encrypted form and it cannot be
easily read.
v. Barcode can contain/store limited amount of
information whereas RFID tags can contain and store data in
huge amounts. vi) Barcode can scan/read only one tag at one
vii) If we use RFID instead of barcode, customer time will be
saved and manual work will also be reduced.

IV. DESIGN/METHODOLOGY:
1. REGISTRATION:
When the user wishes to shop in our system, first he
has to login in to our system. If he is a new user then he
has to first register with the system and then he is
allowed for shopping. The user has to register by
giving details like name, mobile number, email-ID and
a password    where all the    fields are validated and
password is encrypted and all these data is stored in
the database.

2. LOGIN:
After the user registers for the system, he can log
into the system by entering his/her email-ID and
password. The system now will validate the email-ID
and password and logs the user into the system.

3. POST LOGIN:
After the user has registered and logged in to the
system, the system requests the user to scan his user
card which would be given to him at the time of check
in.As soon as the user scans his card, the system
age contains options like this- F

ii) Remove item from the cart.
iii) Display the bill.
iv)                    Pay and
Checkout.
iv)
Exit.
i).Add item to the cart:
When user wants to shop and add items to the cart he can select
this option. As soon as the user selects this option, the system
tells the user to scan the item which he/she wants to shop and
add it into the cart. After the user scans his item which is
equipped with RFID tags/cards, the system tells the user that the
item is added/updated to his cart.    The system gives the user an
option to wish to add more items to his cart or not. The user can
choose any of the options and proceed further for billing.
ii).Remove item from the cart:
The user after shopping his items can also wish to remove the
items from the cart by selecting this option. The system    tells
the    user to scan the item    which    he    wants to remove. If
proper item which he wants to remove is scanned and if that
item is found in the cart then the system pops up with a message
saying that the item is removed from your cart. If that item is
not found in the cart, the system pops up with a message saying
that the item is not found in your cart. Later the user can choose
any of the options and proceed for billing. iii).Display the bill:
The user wishes to see his/her bill at any time of shopping by
selecting this option.    As    soon as    the user selects option 3,
his/her bill will be displayed. The bill contains item id, item
name, quantity, price, total    number of items and the total
amount that the user has to pay at the time of checkout.

iv) Pay and Checkout:
The user after seeing the bill can select this option number 4 for
paying the bill amount. The system asks user to enter the
amount that he has to pay, if he pays the entire amount then he
can check out. If he pays partial amount from the total amount,
the remaining    Amount will be displayed and the system wor
requests the user to pay the remaining amount and checkout. ldwi
