CHAPTER I
INTRODUCTION
Supermarkets were establishments that provide a wide variety of the merchandise
needed by the people in their daily course of life. Push carts were used by the customers
to help them carry all of their bought goods, it carried a large amount of grocery items
which was hard for a human to carry and it had wheels so that customers can easily
manipulate its movement.
One of the concerns that customers face during their time of purchasing their
grocery is how they can properly and wisely manage their budget. Customers tend to buy
items which were not essentially needed, resulting to additional expenses.
Barcode readers were commonly used in the cashier counters inside the
supermarket. It was an electronic device used to read or scan printed barcode labels of the
products being sold in the supermarket. Like a flatbed scanner, it consisted of a light
source, a lens and a light sensor translating optical impulses into electrical ones.
Additionally, nearly all barcode readers contained decoder circuitry which analyzed the
barcode’s image data provided by the sensor and sending the barcode’s content to the
scanner’s output port.
ZigBee was a specification for a suite of high level communication protocols
using small, low-power digital radios based on an IEEE 802 standard for personal area
2
networks. ZigBee devices were often used in mesh network form to transmit data over
long distances, passing data through intermediate devices to reach more distant ones. This
allowed ZigBee networks to be formed ad-hoc, with no centralized control or high-power
transmitter/receiver able to reach all of the devices. Any ZigBee device can be tasked
with running the network.
1.1. Project Context
The project was about the innovation of the concept of a simple push cart. Push
carts made it easier for customers to move around and select products without having to
lift the heavy baggage of grocery items. A push cart was made up of the container basket,
the wheels and the bar to which the customer applied force in order to push the whole
cart. The project had the concept of adding new parts in the traditional push cart. One part
was the barcode scanner. This part was used in order to read/scan the product or item to
be purchased. Another part was the ZigBee module that will transmit or relay data from
the cart onto the counter where the total price of the accumulated products purchased was
calculated and a display of a list of all items purchased. Data was then sent back from the
counter to the cart and was displayed into another new part which was the LCD screen.
The description of the item scanned by the barcode reader and the total accumulated price
was displayed on the LCD screen.
The barcode reader can only read items two inches away from the cart. Items
scanned beyond that range will not be read. The cart is powered by a battery that will last
3
for four hours. The range of the ZigBee module is only up to twenty to thirty meters,
depending on the obstructions.
The project inspired the researchers to create and combine different helpful
materials present in a grocery store such as a product barcode scanner, an LCD screen
and a push cart. With this kind of combined technology, customers will not have
difficulty in running around the store, buying stuff they need and still think of the total
price in their heads. Instead, they will have an automatic list of the items they bought and
the total price of the products bought.

1.2. Project Description
Budgeting was an important aspect in each and everyone’s expenditures. Many
people tend to buy unnecessary items which results in unnecessary expenses. Nowadays,
it is very important to budget our money in order for us to save for our future and
emergency use.
The Puregold Supermarket was currently operating in a traditional way which was
the first-come-first-serve basis and still the products were only scanned in the counter.
With the project, Puregold Supermarket can add a cashier stand which is only for Smart
Cart users which will decrease the queue time and at the same time will also help the
customers to optimize their budget.
The Smart Cart was composed of a LCD screen display where customers can
view the items that they need to buy. By providing this, customers will be aided
throughout their grocery shopping in the supermarket. A barcode reader was also
provided for customers to read the barcode of the items which they are to purchase. With
the use of ZigBee module, the items read by the barcode reader will be sent to a computer
located at the cashier. ZigBee has the ability to send data over a long distance. So
anywhere inside the supermarket, the Smart Cart is fully functional and accurate. The
customer will then have to come to a designated counter wherein the customer will have
to pay the total price of the goods bought.

5
1.3. Objectives
The general objective of this project was to design a smart shopping cart that
would aid customers on how to wisely manage their grocery budget and to minimize or
decrease queue time.
Specifically, this project aims to:
a) to interface ZigBee that will serve as the data carrier
b) to interface a LCD screen for the display of the item list and
other functions of the cart
c) to design a circuit connection for the ZigBee module
d) to create a microcontroller based program for the barcode
reader
e) to interface a keypad module for the data inputs
1.4. Scope and Limitation
The project covers the following features:
 Barcode reader to identify the item and its price
 LCD screen for the display of the total amount of the items purchased and of
the other Smart Cart services
 ZigBee Module for long-distance data transfer between the Smart Cart and a
computer unit and multiple frequency accommodation
 Keypad for the user’s input
 Support for back-up to prevent data loss

6
The project is limited to the following:
 Barcode scanning range will be up to only two inches away from the product.
Scanning beyond that range will not yield any scan results.
 ZigBee Module range will be only up to twenty to thirty meters. Going
beyond the range will result to data loss (data will not be sent to counter).
 Multiple purchase of same products will require multiple barcode reading or
scanning
 Data traffic will be encountered sometimes due to the queuing of data and
frequency.
 First-come-first-serve payment basis will be implemented in each counter.
 A database containing fifteen products only will be provided by the
researchers for sample demonstrations in order to avoid tallying all products
inside the supermarket.
1.5. Definition of Terms
 Barcode Reader – an electronic device for reading printed barcodes.
 Keypad – a set of buttons arranged in a block or pad which usually bears digits,
symbols and usually a complete set of alphabetical letters.
 Liquid Crystal Display – a flat-panel display, electronic visual display, or video
display that uses the light modulating properties of liquid crystals (LCs). LCs
does not emit light directly.

 Push cart – wheeled vehicle that can be pushed by a person; may have one or two
or four wheels.
 PIC Microcontroller – PIC is a family of modified Harvard-architecture
microcontrollers made by Microchip Technology, derived from the PIC1650
originally developed by General Instrument’s Microelectronics Division. The
name PIC initially referred to “Peripheral Interface Controller”.
 ZigBee – a low-cost, low-power, wireless mesh network standard.

REVIEW OF RELATED LITERATURE
2.1. Related Literatures
 ZigBee Module
Figure 2. ZigBee Module
ZigBee is a specification for a suite of high level communication protocols
using small, low-power digital radios based on an IEEE 802 standard for personal
area networks. Applications include wireless light switches, electrical meters with
in-home-displays, and other consumer and industrial equipment that require short-
range wireless transfer of data at relatively low rates. The technology defined by
the ZigBee specification is intended to be simpler and less expensive than
other WPANs, such as Bluetooth.
ZigBee is a low-cost, low-power, wireless mesh network standard. The
low cost allows the technology to be widely deployed in wireless control and
monitoring applications. Low power-usage allows longer life with smaller
batteries. Mesh networking provides high reliability and more extensive range.
9
ZigBee chip vendors typically sell integrated radios and microcontrollers with
between 60 KB and 256 KB flash memory.
ZigBee operates in the industrial, scientific and medical (ISM) radio
bands; 868 MHz in Europe, 915 MHz in the USA and Australia, and 2.4 GHz in
most jurisdictions worldwide. Data transmission rates vary from 20 to 900
kilobits/second.
The ZigBee network layer natively supports both star and tree typical
networks, and generic mesh networks. Every network must have one coordinator
device, tasked with its creation, the control of its parameters and basic
maintenance. Within star networks, the coordinator must be the central node. Both
trees and meshes allow the use of ZigBee routers to extend communication at the
network level.
 Barcode Reader
Figure 3. Barcode Reader

10
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 circuitry analyzing the barcode's image data
provided by the sensor and sending the barcode's content to the scanner's output
port.
Modern handheld barcode readers are operated in wireless
networks according to IEEE 802.11g (WLAN) or IEEE 802.15.1 (Bluetooth).
However, such configuration limits the time of operation
from battery or rechargeable battery and required recharging at least after a shift
of operation.
 Liquid Crystal Display
Figure 4. 4 x 20 Liquid Crystal Display (LCD)

11
A liquid crystal display (LCD) is a flat panel display, electronic visual display,
or video display that uses the light modulating properties of liquid crystals (LCs).
LCs does not emit light directly.
LCDs are used in a wide range of applications, including computer
monitors, television, instrument panels, aircraft cockpit displays, signage, etc.
They are common in consumer devices such as video players, gaming
devices, clocks, watches, calculators, and telephones. LCDs have
replaced cathode ray tube (CRT) displays in most applications. They are available
in a wider range of screen sizes than CRT and plasma displays, and since they do
not use phosphors, they cannot suffer image burn-in. LCDs are, however,
susceptible to image persistence.
LCDs are more energy efficient and offer safer disposal than CRTs. Its
low electrical power consumption enables it to be used in battery-
powered electronic equipment. It is an electronically modulated optical
device made up of any number of segments filled with liquid crystals and arrayed
in front of a light source (backlight) or reflector to produce images in color
or monochrome. The most flexible ones use an array of small pixels.

 PIC Microcontroller
Figure 5. PIC Microcontroller

13
PIC is a family of modified Harvard architecture microcontrollers made
by Microchip Technology, derived from the PIC1650 originally developed
by General Instrument's Microelectronics Division. The name PIC initially
referred to "Peripheral Interface Controller".
PICs are popular with both industrial developers and hobbyists alike due
to their low cost, wide availability, large user base, extensive collection of
application notes, availability of low cost or free development tools, and serial
programming (and re-programming with flash memory) capability.
The architectural decisions are directed at the maximization of speed-to-
cost ratio. The PIC architecture was among the first scalar CPU designs, and is
still among the simplest and cheapest. The Harvard architecture—in which
instructions and data come from separate sources—simplify timing and
microcircuit design greatly, and this benefits clock speed, price, and power
consumption.
The PIC instruction set is suited to implementation of fast lookup tables in
the program space. Such lookups take one instruction and two instruction cycles.
Many functions can be modeled in this way. Optimization is facilitated by the
relatively large program space of the PIC (e.g. 4096 × 14-bit words on the
16F690) and by the design of the instruction set, which allows for embedded
14
constants. For example, a branch instruction's target may be indexed by W, and
execute a "RETLW" which does as it is named - return with literal in W.
Interrupt latency is constant at three instruction cycles. External interrupts
have to be synchronized with the four clock instruction cycle; otherwise there can
be a one instruction cycle jitter. Internal interrupts are already synchronized. The
constant interrupt latency allows PICs to achieve interrupt driven low jitter timing
sequences. An example of this is a video sync pulse generator. This is no longer
true in the newest PIC models, because they have a synchronous interrupt latency
of three or four cycles.
 Keypad
Figure 6. 3 x 4 Keypad
A keypad is a set of buttons arranged in a block or "pad" which usually
bear digits, symbols and usually a complete set of alphabetical letters. If it mostly
contains numbers then it can also be called a numeric keypad. Keypads are found
on many alphanumeric keyboards and on other devices such as calculators, push-

15
button telephones, combination locks, and digital door locks, which require
mainly numeric input.
As a general rule, the keys on calculator-style keypads are arranged such
that the digits 1, 2, and 3 are on the bottom row. Whereas in a telephone keypad,
either in a home or mobile phone, digits 1, 2, and 3 are located on top. A phone
key-pad also has the special buttons labeled * (asterisk) and # (number sign) on
either side of the zero key. Most of the keys on a telephone also bear letters which
have had several auxiliary uses, such as remembering area codes or whole
telephone numbers.
The keypad of a calculator contains the digits 0 through 9, from bottom
upwards, together with the four arithmetic operations, the decimal point and other
more advanced mathematical functions.
2.2. Foreign Studies
 A Computer Vision-Based Barcode Reading System
This study focuses on barcode recognition from images of barcode stamped
products, acquired by different cameras. First step in recognition of barcode data is
achieving barcode localization. For this purpose, a Fast Hough Transform
Approximation has been developed. With this method, barcode localization and the
angular orientation of the barcode is obtained. In order to decipher barcode data, the
scan line obtained by barcode localization and angular orientation information are
16
used. However, the image resolution has to be good enough so that the barcode data
could be read properly. In this work, image quality is improved with the methods of
B-Spline Smoothing and super-resolution techniques. Later, barcode data is
deciphered via match filtering. [Safran, 2008]
 Access Control using Bluetooth
This thesis project proposes a method of access control using Bluetooth.
Currently access control methods require physical contact to a device, such as a
swipe-card. Bluetooth is a wireless technology that could be used to replace such
applications, and provide the convenience of wireless access control. The purpose of
this thesis is to demonstrate that such a concept is feasible, by implementing one such
application. The application developed in this thesis involves the shutting off of
ringing tones of mobile phones that enter a “silent” zone. Such a policy is enforced by
a Bluetooth access point situated in this “silent” zone. The access point will send out
a “beacon” signal to the mobile phone, via Bluetooth, telling it to shut down its
ringing tone. Another focus of this thesis is to ensure that this procedure is secure.
Both the mobile phone and access point will have to carry out an authentication
procedure, designed in this thesis. [Mei, Salim, 2003]
 Barcodes and Radio Frequency identification in Supply Chain Management
Since the 1980s, barcodes have become the backbone of supply chain
management (SCM). Recently, organizations, from both government and corporate
sectors have placed increasing emphasis on further streamlining SCM to deliver cost
17
savings. This has lead to a number of leading organizations introducing mandates for
their suppliers to implement radio frequency identification (RFID) technology. Many
organizations are unsure which technology, barcodes or RFID offers them the best
return. This thesis will aid stakeholders in understanding the advantages and
disadvantages of each respective technology in SCM applications. Furthermore, the
research will examine the importance of a global standard for RFID such as the
Electronic Product Code (EPC) and offer insight into the coexistence of barcodes and
RFID. The research will employ a thorough documentation review as well as several
interviews with users of each technology. [Luke, 2004]
 Development of a Matlab-Based Graphical User Interface Environment for
PIC Microcontroller Project
Peripheral Interface Controllers (PICs) are inexpensive microcontroller units
with built-in serial communication functionality. Similarly, Matlab, widely used
technical computing software, allows serial communication with external devices. In
addition, Matlab provides graphical design tools such as Simulink and Dials and
Gauges Blockset. This paper exploits the serial communication capability of PIC
microcontrollers and the Matlab software along with graphical design tools of Matlab
to create a Matlab-based graphical user interface (GUI) environment for PIC
microcontroller projects. Three examples are included to illustrate that the integration
of low-cost PIC microcontrollers with the Matlab-based GUI environment allows data
acquisition, data processing, data visualization, and control.

18
Peripheral Interface Controllers (PICs) developed and marketed by Microchip
Technology, Inc. are inexpensive microcontroller units that include a central
processing unit and peripherals such as memory, timers, and input/output (I/O)
functions on an integrated circuit (IC). There are more than a hundred varieties of PIC
microcontrollers available, each providing functionality for different types of
applications, making PICs one of the most popular microcontrollers for educational,
hobby, and industrial applications. Similar to other microcontrollers, PICs are usually
not designed to interface with human beings; instead they are directly embedded into
automated products/processes. Thus, graphical user interface (GUI) capabilities,
which have become a mainstay of many personal computer (PC) applications, are
nonexistent for PIC. [Lee, Li, Kapila, 2004]
 GSM Based Display Toolkit
Wireless communication has announced its arrival on big stage and the world
is going mobile. We want to control everything and without moving an inch. This
remote control of appliances is possible through Embedded Systems. The use of
“Embedded System in Communication” has given rise to many interesting
applications that ensures comfort and safety to human life. The main aim of the
project will be to design a SMS driven automatic display toolkit which can replace
the currently used programmable electronic display. It is proposed to design receive
cum display toolkit which can be programmed from an authorized mobile phone. The
message to be displayed is sent through a SMS from an authorized transmitter. The
toolkit receives the SMS, validates the sending Mobile Identification Number (MIN)
19
and displays the desired information after necessary code conversion. The system is
made efficient by using ‘clone’ SIMs of same MIN in a geographical area so that the
same SMS can be received by number of display boards in a locality using techniques
of time division multiple access. Started of as an instantaneous News display unit, we
have improved upon it and tried to take advantage of the computing capabilities of
microcontroller. We envision a toolkit that will not only display message but also can
be used to do some mechanical work. Looking into current trend of information
transfer in the campus, it is seen that important notice take time to be displayed in the
notice boards. This latency is not expected in most of the cases and must be avoided.
It is proposed to implement this project at the institute level. It is proposed to place
display boards in major access points. The electronics displays which are currently
used are programmable displays which need to be reprogrammed each time. This
makes it inefficient for immediate information transfer, and thus the display board
loses its importance. The GSM based display toolkit can be used as a add-on to these
display boards and make it truly wireless. The display board programs itself with the
help of the incoming SMS with proper validation. Such a system proves to be helpful
for immediate information transfer the system required for the purpose is nothing but
a Microcontroller based SMS box. The main components of the toolkit include
microcontroller, GSM modem. These components are integrated with the display
board and thus incorporate the wireless features. The GSM modem receives the SMS.
The AT commands are serially transferred to the modem through MAX232. In return
the modem transmits the stored message through the COM port. The microcontroller
validates the SMS and then displays the message in the LCD display board. Various
20
time division multiplexing techniques have been suggested to make the display
boards functionally efficient. The microcontroller used in this case is Philips
P89C51RD2BN. Matrix Simado GDT11 is used as the GSM modem. In the prototype
model, LCD display is used for simulation purpose. While implementation this can be
replaced by actually display boards. [Mishra, Kumar Das, 2007]
 The use of IEEE 802.15.4/ZigBee for Time-Sensitive Wireless Sensor
Network Application
Recent advancements in information and communication technologies are
paving the way for new paradigms in embedded computing systems. This, allied with
an increasing eagerness for monitoring and controlling everything, everywhere, is
pushing forward the design of new Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) infrastructures
that will tightly interact with the physical environment, in a ubiquitous and pervasive
fashion. Such cyber-physical systems require a rethinking of the usual computing and
networking concepts, and given that the computing entities closely interact with their
environment, timeliness is of increasing importance. This Thesis addresses the use of
standard protocols, particularly IEEE 802.15.4 and ZigBee, combined with
commercial technologies as a baseline to enable WSN infrastructures capable of
supporting the Quality of Service (QoS) requirements (specially timeliness and
system lifetime) that future large-scale networked embedded systems will impose.
With this purpose, in this Thesis we start by evaluating the network performance of
the IEEE 802.15.4 Slotted CSMA/CA (Carrier Sense Multiple Access with Collision
Avoidance) mechanism for different parameter settings, both through simulation and
21
through an experimental test bed. In order to improve the performance of these
networks (e.g. throughput, energy efficiency, message delay) against the hidden-
terminal problem, a mechanism to mitigate it was implemented and experimentally
validated. The effectiveness of this mechanism was also demonstrated in a real
application scenario, featuring a target tracking application. A methodology for
modeling cluster-tree WSNs and computing the worst-case end-to-end delays,
buffering and bandwidth requirements was tested and validated experimentally. This
work is of paramount importance to understand the behavior of WSNs under worst-
case conditions and also to make the appropriate network settings. Our experimental
work enabled us to identify a number of technological constrains, namely related to
hardware/software and to the Open-ZB implementation in TinyOS. In this line, a new
implementation effort was triggered to port the Open-ZB IEEE 802.15.4/ZigBee
protocol stack to the ERIKA real-time operating system. This implementation was
validated experimentally and its behavior compared with the TinyOS–based
implementation. [Silva Severino, 2008]
2.3. Local Literature/Studies
 Microcontroller Based SMS E-Load Vending Machine
Presently, there has been a world-wide spread use of cellular phones. Cellular
communication plays an important role in our daily life. It helps us locate and be in
touch with another person in a remote location. Since the Philippines being a
developing country, 33 percent of our population is under poverty. Wireless
Telecommunications Company offered prepaid loading option that is highly suitable

22
in the Philippine setting. Subscribers purchase consumable credits for their account in
preset denominations. These gave subscribers limited option to choose the amount
they will load up. [Cu, Sy, 2006]
 Wi-Fi Access Vending Machine
The University of Santo Tomas is a Wi-Fi ready campus, but not everyone is
capable of using its service due to some limitations. This limitations is due to the
exclusively of the Wi-Fi service to students, faculty, and other employees of the
University, who have unique given usernames and passwords. That’s why our team
have come up with the idea of the Wi-Fi Access Vending Machine, in which other
possible users, like guests and visitors, who doesn’t have official accounts to access
the Wi-Fi service can also use the said service.
The group has made a vending machine where the user can purchase their
own username and password. It is connected to a database and a system which will
generate their user accounts that will be sent to their mobile numbers which they will
be asked to input in the vending machine. This study resulted to a much wider range
of accessibility, efficiency, and trouble-free use of the Wi-Fi service in UST. [De
Leon, Gonida, Kaiklian, 2011]

RESEARCH AND METHODOLOGY
3.1. Technical Background
3.1.1. Hardware Specifications
The following were parts of the Smart Cart. The researchers assumed that the
following parts will greatly increase the performance of the machine in order to make the
Smart Cart user friendly.
 ZigBee
ZigBee is a specification for a suite of high level communication protocols
using small, low-power digital radios based on an IEEE 802 standard for personal
area networks. Applications include wireless light switches, electrical meters with in-
home-displays, and other consumer and industrial equipment that require short-range
wireless transfer of data at relatively low rates. The technology defined by the ZigBee
specification is intended to be simpler and less expensive than other WPANs, such as
Bluetooth. This served as the transmitter and receiver of signal in the counter-to-cart
data transmission.
 Barcode Reader
A barcode reader (or barcode scanner) is an electronic device for reading
printed barcodes. The Barcode Reader served a great purpose for the Smart Cart
system because it was the one tasked to read the products’ barcode label. It will then
24
send a relay message to the machine to tally and total the price of the user’s grocery
items.
 Liquid Crystal Display (LCD)
LCDs are used in a wide range of applications, including computer monitors,
television, instrument panels, aircraft cockpit displays, signage, etc. They are
common in consumer devices such as video players, gaming devices, clocks, watches,
calculators, and telephones. LCDs have replaced cathode ray tube (CRT) displays in
most applications. They are available in a wider range of screen sizes than CRT and
plasma displays, and since they do not use phosphors, they cannot suffer image burn-
in. LCDs are, however, susceptible to image persistence. This part was the one to
interact with the customer. This was where the customer can see all of the products
he/she bought from the grocery store as well as the budget and the total price of the
products.
 PIC Microcontroller
PICs are popular with both industrial developers and hobbyists alike due to
their low cost, wide availability, large user base, extensive collection of application
notes, availability of low cost or free development tools, and serial programming (and
re-programming with flash memory) capability.

25
 Keypad
This part was where the customer can input the budget that he/she has for
grocery items. This was intended to be the input device for the customer.
 PIC Kit
This was the programmer for the PIC microcontroller.
 Computer Unit
This hardware specification was used as the cashier side of the product. It
receives data sent by the cart then stores that data in the database. Later, the data
would be queried by the system in order for the cashier to check whether the items
bought match the items in the query. This part was also the one that would end the
POS transaction.
3.1.2. Software Specification
The researchers used the following programs in order to develop the system
software of the virtual cashier:
 PIC Programming Software
This software enabled the researchers to create, edit and debug the program
that will be embedded in the PIC microcontroller.

26
 Microsoft Access
This was the database software that was used for the development of the
database for the project.
 Visual Basic 6.0
This software enabled the researchers to create the interface for the cashier
which was connected to the Smart Cart through the use of the ZigBee Module.

27
In developing the Smart Cart, the researchers used the Waterfall model. This type
of system development life cycle approach assumes that the various phases of the project
development can be carried out and completed entirely in a sequential manner. One
completed phase leads into the next phase. Its progress is seen as flowing steadily
downwards through the phases of analysis, gathering, design, construction, testing,
deployment, and maintenance.
 Analysis of the Study
This phase focused on determining and analyzing the problem that the
researchers want to solve. This phase determined the scope and processes that took
place all throughout the entire research. Information gathering was also included in
this phase.
 Gathering of Materials
In this phase, the researchers gathered the materials for the Smart Cart and
took into consideration different designs in order to fully comprehend and create a
design that will be convenient for the customer. Gathered materials were either
bought online or from a local electronic store.
 Designing the Cart
This phase focused on designing the actual Smart Cart and the system
software that the researchers used. Different designs were considered to fully
28
integrate a functioning prototype of the cart. User interaction was the top priority
basis for considerations of the designing of the system of the Smart Cart.
 Constructing the Cart
After the Design Phase, the researchers immediately started the construction
of the system of the Smart Cart including the MCU and Visual Basic programs and its
database. This also included the construction of the circuitry of the system that
enabled the functionality of all the components of the Smart Cart. This phase
probably took two full months due to the fact that the researchers took into
consideration that during this phase, some materials will break.
 Testing the Product
After construction, the researchers tested the kiosk in order to determine any
problem in the machine and the system. The researchers immediately solved any
problem. Problems that occurred were tallied upon recognition for future references.
 Deployment
After ensuring that problems encountered during the testing phase was
eliminated or diverted, the researchers prepared for the deployment phase. The
researchers coordinated with the owner to know the date of the deployment of the cart
in the convenience store. This phase only took a maximum of three days because
coordination between owner and the researchers were clear.

29
 Maintenance
In this phase, the researchers monitored the Smart Cart’s performance and
benefits. Problems that occurred were given immediate action from the researchers.
During this phase, survey and analysis of the cart’s performance were evaluated
through questionnaires that were handed out to the owner and the customers.

Figure 8. Block Diagram of the Smart Cart
The Smart Cart was composed of two major parts: the Smart Cart itself and the
Cashier. The Smart Cart was constructed with a Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) screen for
display, a Barcode Reader for reading barcode labels of products, a Keypad for user input
and for using other functions such as mode selector and enter/cancel, a battery for power
source, and a ZigBee Module for wireless transmission of data. The Cashier was
30
primarily a computer unit running the Visual Basic program, a database, and a ZigBee
Module also for wireless transmission. These components worked together to make the
entire system function properly and simulate a real-world transaction running in an
innovative machine.

The Smart Cart, when turned on connects to the server and prompts the user to
either start a new transaction or retrieve the last one. Retrieving the last transaction mode
was provided to support power loss or unexpected error occurring throughout the system.
The user is prompted to input his/her desired budget for his/her whole grocery shopping.
Exceeding the budget does not stop the customer transaction but only provides a message
that the user is exceeding his/her budget. After doing so, the user is given the choice of
32
scanning desired products or using the product locator. The product locater provides the
user to easily locate product aisle numbers. When the user scans the barcode label of
products, the user is to add or delete the item in his/her grocery list. The system also
displays product information like the product name and price and the total accumulated
price of the entire transaction. When the user is done with his/her shopping, the user is to
proceed to a counter and pay the amount of his/her transaction.
3.2.4. Requirements Analysis
The researchers presented this part in a manner of question and answer type in
order for readers to easily understand this capstone. The answers were provided
theoretically based on the customer’s and owner’s opinions.

3.2.5. Requirements Documentation
The Smart Cart featured a barcode reader that scanned the product’s code. The
machine only read products with a barcode. The machine also had a Liquid Crystal
Display (LCD) screen to aid customers with their proper budgeting and to view other
functions of the cart. First-time users/customers were needed to be fully briefed or to be
provided with an instruction manual in order to avoid unnecessary damage or technical
difficulty to the machine. The machine used a ZigBee Module for long distance data
transfer within the supermarket and for multiple frequency accommodation. The products
and its prices scanned through the barcode reader were sent to the computer/server
36
located at the counter. After the customer was done with his/her shopping, he/she only
had to go to the cashier for the payment of all the merchandise bought.

CHAPTER IV
RESULTS AND DISCUSSION
This chapter was about the results and discussion that of which the researchers
performed throughout the creation of the prototype. Material and module testing and
evaluation were very crucial to the performance and results of the prototype.
4.1. Results
1. Connection of Liquid Crystal Display to Microcontroller
The connection of LCD to Microcontroller and its function was tested in order
to see whether the LCD works and if it outputs the right characters that the user needs
to see. The LCD was tested with one scenario input where it should display budget
input and the product information. There were fourteen tests conducted until the LCD
displayed the correct display.

3. Connection of ZigBee Module to Microcontroller
The ZigBee Module acted as the transmitter/receiver for the data of the
system. The connection between the ZigBee and the Microcontroller was tested in
order to know if the ZigBee really transmits/receives data as the user scans the
products. Fourteen trials were conducted in separate occasions in order to determine
if the ZigBee Module really works.

5. Connection of the entire Smart Cart System
The connection of the entire Smart Cart was tested in order to determine if the
cart system really functions. These testing procedures would let the researchers know
if the entire Smart Cart system works and perform all its functions. Testing procedure
of the entire system should be like the other testing procedures of the individual parts.
There were twelve tries until the entire system turned on and did its basic functions.

4.2. Discussion
1. Connection of Liquid Crystal Display to Microcontroller
In order to display characters in the LCD, connect the corresponding LCD pin
assignment to the microcontroller. Hence, the communication between the LCD and
MCU was working properly.

2. Connection of Keypad to Microcontroller
All available keys in the keypad were fully used in the system. The numbers
are used to input the desired budget of the customer for his/her shopping. The digit 1
and 2 buttons were used for two purposes: selection of mode between stating a new
transaction and retrieving a previous one; selection of another mode between
scanning an item barcode and using the item locator. The ‘*’ and ‘#’ were also used
in the system for two purposes: Enter/Cancel and Mode Switching. For the
enter/cancel function, the button ‘*’ is used to enter the customer’s desired budget
while the ‘#’ is used to delete/cancel errors in the budget input. For the mode
switching function, the button ‘#’ is used to enable the add mode (+) which is for
adding items in the customer’s transaction while the ‘*’ is used for minus mode (-)
which is for removing items in the customer’s transaction.
The keypad in the connection with the microcontroller is working properly.

69
3. Connection of ZigBee Module to Microcontroller
The ZigBee Module connected to the microcontroller serves as a data receiver
as well as a data transmitter. The computer unit also has a ZigBee module connected
to it. Once a product barcode has been scanned using the barcode scanner, the ZigBee
Module transmits the data to the computer unit. The computer unit looks for the
corresponding barcode inside its database. When the barcode has been located, the
ZigBee Module connected to the computer transmits the data back to the
microcontroller.
The ZigBee Module connected to the microcontroller and the computer unit is
working properly but it is limited for particular range. When the ZigBee Module is
not in its range, it does not transmit or receive any data causing transmission delays.
4. Connection of Barcode Reader to Microcontroller
The barcode reader connected to the microcontroller is used for
reading/scanning barcode label of products which the customers purchase. The
barcode reader used in the system is connected using the PS/2 connector because the
microcontroller does not support new barcode readers that are connected using the
USB port.
The barcode reader connected to the microcontroller is working properly. The
barcode reader only reads/scans a barcode label if fired from a very short distance. If
70
it is fired from a distance greater than its range, the barcode does not capture the
barcode label of a product.
5. Connection of the entire Smart Cart System
In order to interface the whole system, several trials were needed to confirm
the full functionality of the system. The first thing we did was to start up the system
as a whole, 12V was needed for the device, and the Visual Basic interface must be
also started for the device to function. Minimal errors for hardware were encountered.
Most of it was unattached connections. Most errors occur inside the software
programs. Some were initializations of variables and proper ending statement for
loops. The functionality of the Point-of-Sale was completely functioning. The device
was complete running and compatible for the Visual Basic interface along with the
proper database. Overall, the prototype was successfully performing its features and
functions.

CHAPTER V
SUMMARY, CONCLUSION, AND RECOMMENDATION
This chapter presented the summary description of the conduct of the project and
its findings. The conclusion was based on the analysis of the data gathered and some
recommendation based on the significant point of the entire research.
5.1. Summary of Results
Several tests were conducted by the researchers. Based from the results, a total
of 12V is needed to power up the system including the ZigBee Module, LCD screen,
and the barcode scanner.
With the use of Smart Cart, shoppers can easily input their budget with simple
readable instructions. When the user is exceeding the budget, the buzzer will sound
that is strong enough to be heard by the user. Several functions were also added to
make the user comfortable such as the default mode which is add (+) item. Users can
also remove item and most of all when the user is finished, there is a dedicated lane
indicated on his/her cart.
With these features, the utility of the system is convenient and very useful.
The user will not forget about the targeted budget.

83
5.2. Conclusion
After several trial and errors, the researchers concluded that the prototype will
provide a better quality of market in most of the grocery stores, most especially to the
users who will be experiencing the ease of shopping. The prototype will provide the
users a budget input that will remind them if they exceed or not but it will not limit
them and of course the ease of payment, when they arrive at the counter their items
and is already listed and is ready for payment.
The researchers therefore conclude that “Smart Cart” system is anytime ready
for implementation not only in small grocery stores but also in big markets, with the
innovation of a ZigBee Module, the data can be networked which will produce
optimization for the market owners to lessen the workload of employee and time
queue of customers.
5.3. Recommendations
The researchers suggest the following recommendations in order to enhance
the utility and function of the system:
1. There is a technical barrier between the barcode scanner speed of transmitting
the data and the receiver. In due time when it is available, the system’s
barcode scanner can be mounted so that the user can easily scan the item.
84
2. The system can include an RFID, with RFID provided at the cashier area,
when the user enters the lane items in the cart are automatically scanned and
data is sent to the cashier.
3. An improvisation of ZigBee Module and a smaller battery that would meet
that system requirement can improve the system.
4. Construction of a more scalable system for bigger implementations.
5. Usage of up-to-date software for development of the system.
6. For the transmission of data, more efficient codes for the microcontroller and
also you can implement it on an updated software development tool.
