Work Accomplished:
This week, I met with the whole team and we successfully tested the connection between the SmartCart system and the mobile app. Now the app correctly receives and displays product information when data is sent through MQTT. The displayed product information includes product name, brand, price, and ingredients.
Additionally, I worked on designing the UI for allergen-flagged items to be displayed in a red highlighted box for visibility, and preference-matching products to appear in a green highlighted box.
Progress Status:
I am on track with the app development, but more progress is needed on the allergy filtering system. We have defined how allergens are flagged and sent to the app, but we haven’t finished implementing the NLP-based filtering. To ensure accuracy, we will double check allergen detection by ensuring user defined allergen words match the flagged allergens, and preferences and allergens are correctly compared with the product’s ingredient list.
Next Week’s Goal:
For next week, my focus will be on:
- Optimizing UI & debugging to refine allergen and preference-based filtering
- Work with Aanya to develop NLP-based allergy filtering
- Testing products to verify that allergy flagging works accurately in real time.
