It is related to a system that shows whether it has exceeded its limitations. State of the Art Current systems basically measure the weight of the suitcase and the user manually... It works to help with assessment. Internal weight measurement. Sensor-operated suitcases with load cells inside or in the handle. 15 It measures the weight by placing it down. These types of systems, which are based solely on general weight thresholds, It does not take into account the baggage rules of different countries and airlines. Some only allow one bag. A mechanical system that provides information with red / green lights based on a threshold value (such as 20kg, 25kg). systems are used. Patent number US8853565B2 concerns weighing systems integrated into the suitcase body and weights. It concerns the measurement. Since the measured weight is not subjected to comparison... The user needs to control the weight limits themselves by setting them. Some smart luggage models measure weight using airline data via mobile apps. It provides information to users by comparing it with their bases. US11944174B2 number The patent allows you to control airline baggage limits via a smartphone app. It gives the user a warning. Instead of interacting with the suitcase, this user uses a mobile application. The system requires internet access. Also, each one that will be used... This requires separate checks for each airline company. 30 The main shortcomings of current technological systems can be listed as follows: 1. No dynamic calculations are performed on an airline or country basis.  Current systems are based only on general airline limits, but country-specific limits apply. Country-specific baggage regulations are not taken into account. 35 2  The user can determine at what stage the baggage limit is violated, according to the flight route. He wouldn't know it was done.  Different baggage limits apply to those making transfers to multiple countries. It cannot be done. 2. Manual operation required 5  The user must lift the suitcase or check the weight using the mobile application. It must provide a connection.  LED warning systems are based only on predefined fixed thresholds and It does not include dynamic variables. 3. Connection dependency and lack of offline usability 10  Existing solutions require an internet connection, therefore, at airports or Problems may arise abroad.  There is no integrated system that can operate offline. In conclusion, due to the negative aspects described above and the current solutions, topic 15 Due to its shortcomings, an improvement is needed in the relevant technical field. It has been observed. Purpose of the Invention Independent, capable of offline operation, dynamic computing, and suitable for connecting flights. It offers a convenient baggage weight control system. This innovative system is compatible with airlines. will enable passengers to manage their travel process more consciously and be aware of potential extra baggage fee issues that may arise at the airport in advance. This will enable them to do so. 25 The suitcase into which the system described in the invention will be integrated will be specific to each country and airline. It has an integrated display system according to the baggage limits it has set. It also... By dynamically changing baggage limits for passengers traveling to multiple countries. It has a smart algorithm that can be updated. 30 Thanks to the invention:  It can operate completely independently and access airline regulations via an offline database. A comparison system is presented. 3  Information is presented to the user instantly via a touchscreen interface (mobile) (There is no obligation to apply).  Weight information is displayed on an LED screen and 7 segments according to the designated flight path. This is displayed visually and numerically on the indicator.  The weight of the suitcase itself is included in the calculation, giving an estimated net contents of the luggage. Accurate information will be provided.  It can operate using solar power or USB-C charging, ensuring energy efficiency.  Numbered bags according to different baggage rules at transfer points. Dynamic information is provided by defining travel stages (0001, 0002, etc.). The structural and characteristic features and all the advantages of the invention are given in the figures below. This becomes clearer thanks to the detailed explanation written with references to these figures. It will be understood.
