Real Time Product Monitoring and Tracking System using Fingerprint Recognition

ABSTARCT :

Shopping is an activity of buying goods from the shop. Shop is a place where a customer can fulfil all their needs. Android based systems should be technically implemented in such a way that ensures adequate user requirements. The proposed methodology is implemented to allow the person to do shopping using fingerprint authentication of customer and the bill will be automatically generated. This is done by the android application and also through web application. The development in operating system of the mobile phones gives rise to the application development on the large scale. The aim is to provide convenient and secured fingerprint authentication and billing. We propose a billing system using android application, in our project the customers have to give their fingerprint and tray number as input details. After the purchase was finished, admin will match the customer fingerprint and the bill will be generated automatically after the fingerprint matching process. Finally, the proposed system will be presented with the obtained results.

EXISTING SYSTEM :

? The main disadvantage of using zigbee is, it can access single peripheral device at a time. The initial cost of rfid tags and reader is more. ? After the billing process removing rfid tags from the purchased product consumes more time and there is possibility of missing the rfid tags. ? In barcode scanners due to the presence of line of sight the product should have to be kept in focus to LOS and it have to be kept at very minimum distance while scanning the product. ? These technologies use lcd display. Sometimes the lcd will not work properly and it could be damaged easily.

DISADVANTAGE :

? The implementation of the above system is very expensive. ? Its hardware requirements are very high and its implementation in real time is very difficult and cause more problems. ? The central server which has a database also requires software implementation and the total estimation of the project will be high. ? Sometimes confusion will occur while delivering the packed products to the customers and there is a possibility of wrongly exchanging the items between the customers. ? It is not very easy to identify the respective purchased products of the customer and it is one of the major problems.

PROPOSED SYSTEM :

• The main purpose of the fingerprint is for user authentication and verification which gives the big security to the product. Administrator can easily identify the person who is purchased the items. • During shopping, after finishing our purchase we need to make our products to be scanned by the barcode scanner and reader to get the bill. • In our methodology we are going to replace the system of using barcode scanner and excel sheets in making bill. • Our application is fully automatic and it is a latest trend preferred by all the users where our application can be easily used by all android users.

ADVANTAGE :

? This particular software for Mobile Application is made to be open source, thereby giving the opportunity to the developers to introduce and incorporate any technological advancement. ? Build on custom virtual machine android gives its users the addition usage and application power, to initiate an interactive and efficient application and operational Software for your phone. ? It is a mobile operating system (OS) , based on the Linux kernel and designed primarily for touch screen mobile devices such as smart phones and tablets. ? The finger print is one of the popular biometric methods used to authenticate the products.
