Description

1 TARIFF SMART CANTEEN AND STUDENT SPENDING AND NUTRITION CONTROL SYSTEM AND THE METHOD Technical Area 5 The invention is a student-made product used for canteen purchases in educational institutions. It is related to the expenditure and nutrition control system. Specifically, the invention allows students to make cafeteria purchases based on identity verification. enabling control, monitoring, restriction and analysis It relates to student spending and nutrition control systems and methods. State of the Art The shopping infrastructure used in current school cafeterias is largely traditional. They rely on these methods and shopping transactions are mostly cash payment, simple magnetic This is done through card systems or manual sales records. In the current system, there are 20 items that students buy in canteen shopping. Detailed data on this matter cannot be collected, spending behaviors cannot be monitored, and Parents have no control mechanism over this process. Card-based Payment solutions only offer a balance deduction function; student ID... verification, product-based restrictions, or rules set by a parent It does not include advanced control features such as implementation. Also, in canteens 25 classifying the products sold as healthy or unhealthy and the student's nutrition Tracking their habits is not technically possible with current systems. This Therefore, students should avoid high-sugar, high-calorie foods or foods deemed unsuitable by parents. It is impossible to prevent students from buying unseen products, and the school administration is also unable to prevent this. It is not possible to obtain meaningful data regarding consumption trends. 30 On the other hand, from the perspective of canteen businesses, most sales are done manually. Business data such as inventory tracking, density analysis, and product performance are collected as a result of this process. Collection is not being done properly, and canteen management is not being digitized. 35 2 Current solutions in technology include identity verification, expense control, nutrition tracking, and parental supervision. Because it does not include critical components such as participation and data analysis, it affects both security and health. It is also inadequate in terms of management. In conclusion, the existence of the above problems and the inadequacy of current solutions are relevant to the 5 This has made it necessary to make improvements in the technical field.
