Sketch the final project idea

EASY BUYER - MAGIC BOX






A RFID SYSTEM

I'll use TAGS to describe the elements in a supermarket, descripting the product, and asigning the right value of the product.

          

AN INFRARED OR ULTRASONIC SYSTEM


This system will recognize the elements inside the basket, and will diferenciate from the others outside. In this part the system consolidate the cost of the elements selected and will prepare to send the payment.

          

A SCREEN METHOD PAYMENT


Finally, I will check if the stuff is the ideal, using a screen as a Human Machine Interface (HMI), I can rmove some pics that I dont like to buy or I can accept the transaction, and make the payment. I'll use sounds and colors to verify the transaction.

          

The electronics elements that I will use for the final project are:

Materials:

Describe what it will do and who will use it

EASY BUYER - MAGIC BOX

In many countries around the world, sometimes when we visit to the supermarket and need to pay our stuff, we find a small inconvenience, if the day that we go shopping corresponds to a discounts season, payment day, weekends, holidays, etc., it is complicated!!. The time we spend there is since 40 minutes to two hours approximately. So, I imagined supporting the digital revolution, transforming bits to atoms with this project that could be useful and have a technological and innovative base. This project could help people avoid the stress of waiting the payment queue with a simple system that let the people do this activity faster and without losing time


The project will be used by all the people whose want to avoid the stress of waiting the payment queue in supermarkets and consist. It consists of an RF system that allows assigning a specific tag to each of the elements of the store, recording its price, weight, value, and other parameters, when the user chooses their purchases and puts them into the smart basket , the system will recognize the type of products and create a payment list automatically so that at the end of the purchase, the amount is paid by means of an automatic transfer from a cellular App, an infrared system will recognize the elements that are inside the basket.
