RFID Shopping system uses RFID tags to identify products while providing automated shopping experience. The shopping system also provides integrated data mining techniques to facilitate management with real time data with product sales and inventory tracking. The system consists of smart cart system which is attached to the customer cart. The smart cart system also includes intercom module, which facilitates the customer to talk directly to customer service without having to search for one. All the data processing is provided by the central server system which handles all the carts in the system.

- Analyzing the Current Market, we thought to bring changes in the way how people shop, we need to modify our existing shopping system. With our current shopping system, we found these factors to be crucial problem statement in our present shopping system in the market.
- Shopping has been a global phenomenon. With increasing human needs moredepartmental stores and competition between them is increasing in the global market. Minordetails are also taken into consideration while providing best shopping experience to thecustomers. Huge investments in terms of assets and manpower have been made in order tomanage the entire shopping system. But the technology that drives the shopping system is stillprimitive; where a customer has to take products to cashier in order to check out. There is alwaysan intermediate factor between the customer and the company. People still have to stand in longqueue for their turn for checkout and customers have to call sales associate to get moreinformation about the product. Addressing the need of more reliable system, we come up withidea of “RFID Shopping System” which uses Radio Frequency Identification which would beable to perform a self checkout shopping experience without any need of any human assistance,hence increasing customer shopping experience satisfaction.Besides this Inventory management also plays a very crucial role in success of businessorganization. The way they manage the flow of products from manufacturers to customers isvery important and the system helps to track down the mobility of the popular goods. If theproduct shortage occurs, customer will immediately turn to other supplier and hence miss apotential sales opportunity. With the help of data mining technology we can analyze the salespattern of customers, which will help as main basis for sales analysis and warehouse control.Hence our main objective form this shopping system would be to read tags from theproducts, provide detailed information about the product to the user, assist customer on completeself checkout system, and provide complete web interface. Nevertheless the shopping systemalso supports the management by providing logistical data about product inventory, sales flowand other information, which gives scope on data mining on customer shopping experience.
- Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) systems use radio frequency to identify, locate and track people, assets, and animals. Passive RFID systems are composed of three components – an interrogator (reader), a passive tag, and a host computer. The tag is composed of an antenna coil and a silicon chip that includes basic modulation circuitry and non-volatile memory. The tag is energized by a time-varying electromagnetic radio frequency (RF) wave that is transmitted by the reader. This RF signal is called a carrier signal. When the RF field passes through an antenna coil, there is an AC voltage generated across the coil. This voltage is rectified to supply power to the tag. The information stored in the tag is transmitted back to the reader. This is often called backscattering. By detecting the backscattering signal, the information stored in the tag can be fully identified.
- While reading for the RFID tags, the reader continuously generates a RF carrier sine wave, watching always for modulation to occur. Detected modulation of the field would indicate the presence of a tag. Once the tag has received sufficient energy to operate correctly, it divides down the carrier and begins clocking its data to an output transistor, which is normally connected across the coil inputs. The tag's output transistor shunts the coil, sequentially corresponding to the data which is being clocked out of the memory array. The shunting of coil causes momentary fluctuation of the carrier wave, which is seen as a slight change in amplitude of the carrier. Hence the reader detects the amplitude modulated data and processes the resulting bit stream according to the encoding and data modulation methods uses.

- A server machine is a host that is running one or more server programs which share their resources with clients. A client does not share any of its resources, but requests a server's content or service function. Clients therefore initiate communication sessions with servers which await incoming requests.Client Server Model of Computing is a distributed application that partitions tasks or workloads between the providers of a resource or service called server, and service requesters called clients.
