Abstract: An AI-powered mobile retail application integrates product detection, shopping-list management, and augmented-reality-style indoor navigation without requiring dedicated smart-cart hardware. Users browse products and build shopping lists from home; upon arrival at a store, a QR-code scan links a physical cart to the user's digital account, or the user proceeds in a fully digital-only mode. A camera module captures live images and, through a label-matching algorithm compared against a product database, identifies products in real time with a confidence threshold of approximately 85%, providing visual and haptic feedback and automatically updating the digital cart. A navigation module computes the shortest path to each listed product on an interactive 2D store map, displaying turn-by-turn directions, real-time location tracking, and multi-product progress tracking. The system is supported by a secure, scalable three-tier architecture (mobile application, stateless REST API, and MySQL database) and supports checkout via multiple payment methods. FIG. 1 is considered the representative figure of the invention.
