Handheld system that customers pick up upon entering store. Virtual Wallet retrieves information stored on customer’s SecurOne card. Allows user to set a budget and monitor his/her shopping Notifies user if they go over budget. Accesses database and applies existing membership discounts Allows online bill payment and self-checkout Virtual Wallet has functionality to remove items and increase budget if user goes over.

Design Objectives Minimize cost by optimizing area. Utilize extremely regular layout Robust verification at all design levels Behavioral Verilog Structural Verilog Schematics Slide 4 Virtual WalletDecember 2, 2009

Connection to SecurOne SecurOne system is an identification card and reader system. Card contains access to user’s personal information, such as bank accounts. Other group designed secure reader system. Reader will be a component of the Virtual Wallet so that the device can get personal information of the user for checkout. Slide 5 Virtual WalletDecember 2, 2009

The SecurOne card will be used in every shopping center. This device can be implemented in any store, as it connects to a store’s unique database. Saves shopping time and eliminates checkout lines. Market Appeal Slide 6 Virtual WalletDecember 2, 2009

System Description Slide 7 Virtual WalletDecember 2, 2009

System Specification Slide 8 Virtual Wallet 30-bit Integer arithmetic units cumulatively calculates amount spent Budget and price calculations are done in cents, with the display placing an appropriate decimal. The RFID obtained by Virtual Wallet is fed to the online database to obtain information about a product and its price December 2, 2009

Flow Diagram Scan card and confirm identity Select bank account and input budget Begin shopping Price of items bought is added to total If total goes over budget Remove items to go back under budget Increase budget if possible Slide 9 Virtual Wallet Apply coupons if possible December 2, 2009

Functional Design SRAM: Memory to store 32 8-bit item RFID tag. Other information looked up from Online store database. Second SRAM stores budget. Adder: Adding block. 30-bit addition Subtractor: Subtracting block. Will handle discounts and item removals. As items are removed the SRAM remembers the items removed so they will not be added into total costs Registers: Budget and Total registers store values Comparator: Takes in the budget entered by the user and total after each item is scanned checks to see if one is over the budget Touchscreen: User Input (not implemented) Display: (not implemented) Interface to Online Database: Data lines Slide 10 Virtual WalletDecember 2, 2009

Verification Slide 17 Virtual WalletDecember 2, 2009

Verification Process Designed blocks in Behavioral Verilog to test design. After individual blocks simulated, top level control logic made to test all pieces together. From Verilog design, built schematics for individual blocks. Tested individual blocks to determine functionality. After each block was confirmed worked, top level schematic tied pieces together with control logic. Tested with multiple vectors to determine functionality. 1 ns clock Tested different functions, such as input budget, remove item, writing to SRAM, etc. Slide 18 Virtual WalletDecember 2, 2009

Retrospection Overall the project was completed without too much difficulty or variance from the original plan. The floorplan design changed significantly from the original version to the final layout. Had to account for 30-bit routing Some parts were deemed unnecessary Issues with modelSIM made caused full structural verilog tests impossible Logic which looped onto itself had to be replaced with behavioral verilog. Some library naming issues came up due to having to share pieces between the three of us. Slide 31 Virtual WalletDecember 2, 2009

In Conclusion Virtual Wallet provides a safe and secure way to increase shopping efficiency. User is able to check out with Virtual Wallet when done shopping Can be implemented in any store from large chains to mom and pop businesses. Slide 32 Virtual WalletDecember 2, 2009
