Project Goal Create a prototype of an RFID Smart Shopper device that would help users create and manage shopping lists, make intelligent item suggestions, and alert the user to items on their current list when they go shopping.

Milestones Research and write the Association Mining Algorithm Design, implement, and populate the needed databases Design and implement the Graphical User Interface (GUI) Communicate with the RFID reader

Complications Different names can be used for the same product (branding and slang for example) Price and its affect on suggested items RFID tags on a per item basis Intelligent creation of lists

Design Decisions / Revisions Item Categorization Sale info vs. price RFID tags per category RFID tags located on shelf Keyboard entry Info in database vs. on tag

Association Mining Algorithm AND Lists to get Associations Continue to refine sets Support values Database storage Suggestion retrieval

RFID Reader & Tags Hardware Communication Reading/Writing Tags Reader Testing Software Communication Reader Integration

Graphical User Interface Designed in NetBeans using swing and awt libraries Designed with handheld device in mind 240x320 pixels Point and click interface

Databases Access Databases Device DB Store DB 2nd Normal Form Artificial keys used for simplicity

User Testing & Suggestions Alphabetical ordering No case sensitivity New item dropdown menu Select multiple suggested items Double click selecting List creation calendar Copy list functionality

Unfinished / Future Revisions Non-keyboard entry Synchronization between device and store database Sale suggestions Stress testing Database management and cleanup over long term use
