Owing to this billing process is the major headache in shopping malls. The primary objective of this research is to optimize the payment process which is placed on the trolley with the help of RFID. This article outlines the design of an intelligent shopping trolley based on a Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) reader and it includes the child care unit model. The trolley is equipped with an RFID reader, QR scanner, Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) and a child care unit. Whenever a product is portrayed to the RFID reader, the product cost is displayed over the LCD screen. The primary benefit of this research would be that the compunction cares for children by integrating with the trolley. It consists of an RF module that serves as transceiver. The child care section will contribute to ensuring the safety of children visiting shopping malls with their parents. It generates an alert when the baby attempts to leave from the cart.

Such a system can be utilized in many ways. The concept of emotions is itself complex and fuzzy in nature. Therefore, to handle the fuzziness of individual’s emotional experiences and presenting them as a discrete emotion is all that is required by many EEG-based brain computer interface (BCI) systems. In this work, we present an RFID-based BCI system for Emotion classification from EEG patterns. The presented system uses a fuzzy inference system (FIS) that utilizes the valence and arousal modalities to model the individual’s emotion. The major steps of the system are: preprocessing recorded EEG patterns and saving them with individual’s identification using RFID tags, then preprocessed EEG patterns are decomposed into different frequency bands using wavelet decomposition, followed by feature extraction step, feature matrix so obtained is used for training a k-nearest neighbor model to generate valence and arousal values for given EEG patterns. The output of KNN is fed to the FIS which models the pattern as a discrete emotion. system gives a new dimension to the BCI-based content servers and can also be used in healthcare services which is the need of the hour.","PeriodicalId":212607,"journal":{"name":"2021 IEEE International Conference on RFID Technology and Applications (RFID-TA)","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-10-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127787728","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Not surprisingly, given the low cost of PIN diodes, together with the pressure on build costs, you will frequently find them incorporated in RFID reader circuitry. A designer needs to be cognoscente of some of the performance issues that are associated with their inclusion.
