CO321 - Sense bar code from product which are put in cart Show total bill , discounts , etc in LCD display which is attached in trolley.
CO324 - When consumer put a product in cart, product’s bar code is sent to server in real time and server replay a description of that product for displaying in LCD. Offers and other details are also come from server to cart in real time.

Hardware and Software Designs
RFID Reader instead of Barcode Scanner
Intial Project Plan we decided to use bracode to identify product,Now we have planned to replace barcode , continue project using RFID reader and tag attached Products.RFID has lot of issuses such as working in presence of electric field but some cases it is good to handle some situations, like counting and detecting no things in Shopping cart. It can read product id and product exp date and name.
