user can see and select the required products as
per their needs.
2. Cart: This feature of the app is a virtual
shopping cart. The customer adds the products in
the cart which he wishes to buy.
3. Scan Product: The user scans the products and
adds the product in the cart.
4. Product location: This feature of the app gives
the location of the product which the user
searches for. The aisle in which the product is
kept is shown.

V. IMPLEMENTATION

Front End : Android Studio, HTML

Back End : PHP, MySQL

The three important modules of the project include:

3) Recommendation:

In order to overcome the limitations of data scarcity

and inaccurate similarity in personalized
recommendation systems, a new collaborative
filtering recommendation algorithm by using items
categories similarity and interestingness measure is
proposed. Here, first the items categories similarity
matrix is constructed by calculating the item-item
category distance, and then analyzes the correlation
degree of different items by using interestingness
measure, last an improved collaborative filtering
algorithm is proposed by combining the information
of items categories with item-item interestingness
and utilizing improved conditional probability
method as the standard item-item similarity
measure.
