This paper presents a novel approach to the use of RFID technology in this field. Despite the current system architectures in RFID systems used in similar research projects, a distributed architecture and a suitable design are proposed. Users will be able to scan their purchased products by putting them in the shopping cart, view their current bill on the cart’s touch screen, and get directions in the shopping area. The motivation behind this different approach is to give customers more flexibility and control over their shopping cart. It will enable them to benefit from information about the products and aisles of the shopping space. Additionally, it will also enable the storage of customer transactions and location data to render it available for data mining purposes.}, }
