According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "The main objective of this "Design of smart follow-me shopping tray with QR code scanner and automatic billing" is to design and develop a smart shopping tray that simplifies and automates the shopping experience. The system aims to reduce human effort and time by automatically performing product identification and billing through QR code scanning. The use of the PIC16F877A microcontroller ensures accurate processing of scanned data and smooth coordination between all components. The tray is designed to follow the customer automatically using ultrasonic sensors, while an LCD display shows the item details and total bill in real time. Another important objective is to eliminate manual errors that occur during traditional billing and to enhance accuracy and efficiency. The project focuses on building a cost-effective, powerefficient, and user-friendly prototype suitable for malls and supermarkets. By integrating a Bluetooth module, the system can wirelessly transmit the final bill to a smartphone or billing counter, reducing the need for human intervention. Overall, this invention demonstrates the effective application of embedded systems and sensor technologies in the retail industry. It aims to provide a contactless, smart, and innovative solution for modern shopping environments, making the process faster, more efficient, and technologically advanced."
