Introduction

I. INTRODUCTION

In today's fast-paced and intelligent world, objects and devices must also be fast and efficient to keep up with the pace of daily life.

Nowadays everyone uses a Smart Phone. From communication options to online booking or price tag reservations, everything may be done using Smart Phones. However, its frequent usage discharges the mobile battery a lot of usually. Additionally, once these mobile ages, it’s ascertained that the battery discharges frequently and requires charging in brief intervals. To beat this drawback, several good Smart Phone users, get power banks and even have to be charged one by one each day. Therefore,solar power is a great solution to the problem of frequent battery discharging in smartphones. With the advancements in technology, many devices and applications now utilize solar power as an alternative energy source. Solar energy is a renewable and clean energy source that is readily available, and can be used to charge electronic devices even while on the go. Our paper intends to seem into introducing the access safety of bags through a tracking system by GPS that may facilitate bag transportation during a secure and safer means. Principally Bag tracking systems are supported by GPS and GSM. Short Electronic Messaging Service (SMS) may be a feature obtainable on all mobile phones that permits a little quantity of text to be sent between one user and another. There’s a necessity for a system that may indicate in real time that the stealing is taking place and produce an alarm to scare the criminal and additionally create close folks note of such incidence. This may be enforced using an Anti- Theft Detection system which uses ultrasonic sensors and can be unbroken within the bag. If the connectivity between the mobile and also the ultrasonic sensor is lost, an alarm system is going to be activated to point to the stealing of the mobile. The mobile is retrieved by obtaining its location with the assistance of another person’s phone. To simplify the tedious packing process, there is a need for an application that utilizes RFID technology. Each item is tagged with a unique identification, and the information about all the items packed in the bag is stored in the microcontroller.

II. LITERATURE SURVEY

A. Fingerprint Protection System

Fingerprint recognition technology, as described in this paper, enables access only to those individuals whose fingerprints have been previously stored in its memory. The stored fingerprints remain accessible even in the event of a power outage or battery drain. This eliminates the need for keeping track of keys or remembering a combination password or PIN. The lock can only be unlocked when a certified user is present because there are no keys or combinations to be derived or stolen, and no locks that can be picked. Thus, fingerprint-based locks offer an excellent solution to the inconvenience that is commonly encountered with traditional locks.

B. Smart Bag with stealing interface and time period Tracking

This paper presents a smart bag tracking system that utilizes the Global System for Mobile Communication (GSM) and Global Positioning System (GPS) technologies. The bag is equipped with a fingerprint-locking system for enhanced security. Additionally, ultrasonic sensors are employed to detect nearby objects, thus preventing collisions. Two infrared (IR) sensors are used to enable the bag to follow its owner.

C. Auto Trailing Bag of the Smart Bag

1. Object Detection using Ultrasonic Sensors: To activate the bag, an SMS can be sent from a mobile device. Two ultrasonic sensors are utilized to detect human presence, and they are connected in a simple way such that the transmitter section of each sensor is placed in the middle, and the receiver section is placed on either side. The transmitter section emits sound waves continuously, which bounce back when they hit an obstacle. The movement of the bag, whether forward, right, or left, is determined by the signal strength received by each receiver section. An algorithm compares the readings from the two sensors and decides whether to turn left (if the left sensor returns the strongest signal), right (if the right sensor returns the strongest signal), or move forward (if the output of the two sensors is similar). If the distance between the bag and the human falls below a predefined threshold or if the range drops, the bag stops.
2. Human Following Mechanism using 2 IR Sensors: To enable the following mechanism, two IR sensors are utilized. On one edge of the bag, there are two receivers placed at each end and one transmitter placed in the center. This setup allows for the detection of left and right turns, as the two IR receivers placed at the corners of the bag capture the corresponding actions. The data captured by the IR receivers is then sent to the Arduino, and through programmed actions, the motors are directed to turn in a specific direction in order to follow the person.

III. PROPOSED METHOD

The planned system highlights the GPS (Global Positioning System) tracker, Auto-drive, and manual drive. This device facilitates communication between the user and the carrier, while also providing manual control over the carrier's movements.

As each object is placed inside the bag, the RFID reader reads the object's tag and saves its name in the system's database. If an object is accidentally left out of the bag, a list of missing items can be displayed on the bag's LCD screen. Additionally, the GPS module is used to track the bag's location. If the bag goes out of range of connected devices, a message is generated and sent to a registered phone number, which includes a link to the bag's location. Here we’ve got an inclination to use one technique that is implemented using data taken from ultrasonic and IR sensors. Ultrasonic sensor invariably measures the gap between the bag and also the bag can detect obstacles and prevent displacement through a proximity detection technique that involves sending sound waves and collecting microwaves. Additionally, the bag can be traced and located using GPS and GSM technology, allowing it to be easily found if lost.

This system also includes fingerprint protection, which ensures that the bag can only be opened when an authorized user is present. Since there are no keys or combinations that can be stolen or locks that can be picked, the fingerprint protection system provides an additional layer of security.
