Presently, there has been a world-wide spread use of cellular phones. Cellular
communication plays an important role in our daily life. It helps us locate and be in touch with another
person in a remote location. Since the Philippines being a developing country 33% of our population
is under poverty (Senate Economic Planning Office, 2005). Wireless Telecommunications Company
offered prepaid loading option that is highly suitable in the Philippine setting. Subscribers purchase
consumable credits for their account in preset denominations. These gave subscribers limited option
wide auto reloading stations through a retailer SIM card that vendors can use to pass an amount of
load as specified by the subscriber starting at an appreciable amount of money with an increment of
one peso. This new prepaid loading service was introduced to capture the interest of budget minded
Filipinos or blue collared employees that prefers to load up in smaller denomination. It is difficult for
these people to purchase prepaid loads amounting to hundreds of pesos in one transaction because
of their daily budget. That is why people are in a day-to-day basis of buying prepaid loads and a wide-
spread of auto loading services nationwide. Subscribers can reload from a minimum of P25 up to a
2
thousand with a P1 denomination. Business people are attracted to this service because
it
is a low investment business which a person can manage on his/her own.
1.2. Statement of the Problem
The current process of e-load reloading is typing the password, recipient’s phone number
and the amount of prepaid credit. A mere “0” added to the amount could lead to an enormous loss of
income. There will be no means to cancel the transaction once it has been sent. Considering that the
earnings are small, any mistakes made are devastating. That’s why it is very important to encode the
proper amount and number to the GSM device. A prepaid load can also not be delivered properly
when the vendor themselves commits mistake in encoding the recipient’s number.
Telecommunication companies are not liable to the mistakes done by the retailer. That’s why there is
There is a need to automate the current auto loading system implemented here in the
Philippines. As seen in most stores, the prepaid auto reloading services are being done manually with
the vendor using his/her cellular phone to make the transaction. Considering that the transaction is
being processed manually, there is the chance for the seller to commit unwanted mistakes, mistakes
which could lead to money loss or the loss of income. To avoid these unnecessary mistakes, there is
1.3. Objectives
There is a need eliminate the cause of error in the conventional auto reloading
services.
1.3.1. General Objective(s)
To automate the prepaid auto loading services implemented here in the
Philippines by constructing a vending machine.
1.3.2. Specific Objectives
1.3.2.1. To use a microcontroller.
1.3.2.2. To use GSM device interfaced with microcontroller in sending
masked SMS.
memory.
study.
1.4.7. Our study will be limited to the use of a readily made bill feeder and
verification device.
1.4.8. The keypad interface device that will be used for the study will be a
complete module.
1.4.9. The model of the vending machine chassis will be designed by the thesis
proponents.
1.4.10. The actual fabrication of the vending machine chassis will not be done by
thesis proponents.
1.4.11. Testing parameters of the device would be limited to delivery time, and
response time
1.4.12. Delivery time performance would not consider an occurrence of a busy
network which is beyond the team’s control.
1.4.13. The system can detect and inform about an occurrence of a busy network.

ensure service.
1.4.16. The system will only provide change if there are stored change available.
1.4.17. The system will be able to withdraw from the on-going transaction upon
power loss.
1.4.20. To store the number of bills as specified in the data sheet of the said bill
acceptor.
1.4.21. The logging system should be able to store memories up to 1 week worth
of transactions.
1.4.22. An extended memory may be used in case more memory is demanded.
1.5. Significance of the Study
This study will aid people who are engaged in the prepaid reloading industry by automating
the conventional method being practiced even as we speak. This thesis project will help distributors
avoid, or even eliminate the tedious task of inputting the mobile phone number and the amount to be
reloaded which is, in most cases, where the error cause by negligence occurs.
There will be room for franchise expansion since the thesis will then have a corresponding
hardware, the device made can be placed anywhere. Similar to a vending machine, this device will be
a stand alone prepaid reloading machine. It will further expand the horizon of business entrepreneurs
by placing this.

The study involves integration of the whole system into a smaller device that could take up a
small area. The study hopes to open a business opportunity in a form of vending machine investment.
1.6. Description of the Project
display, a money feeder, a money changer, a GSM module and a power supply. The
microcontroller serves as the brain of the whole project; this is where all the decisions
Initially, the user inputs the amount using the keypad. Then the user will then be asked for
the money to be deposited in the coin acceptor or bill acceptor. Then the device will have to ask for
the phone number of the said account. Then the device should prompt a question to proceed or not
while displaying the amount and the phone number for visual verification.

1.7. Methodology
The Methodology that will be applied will be classified into three (3)
implementation
1.7.1. Research
The research would compose of statistical study on the usage of e-load in the Philippines.
The group will be take advantage of the facilities inside campus. The library for accurate research;
Books and journals will be very much used because of its legitimacy and advancements. The internet
will also be used due to its accessibility and up-to-date content like online articles, statistics, and
product catalogs. Finally, consultation with the adviser will surely be considered.
1.7.2. Hardware Implementation
This would involve the familiarization of microcontrollers that are available in the market. For
the selection of the microcontroller the group will be considering the price and specifications that
would fit our application. The hardware in the money collection module will be a coin feeder. The
display will be an LCD display matrix with backlight. A keypad will accept the input parameters to
operate the vending machine. The housing will be a stainless steel specially fabricated to the
memory would likely have 60K x 4 pages, jumper selectable memory. If more
memory is needed then an extended memory module would be used.
1.7.3. Software Implementation
The software would entail the programming language that depends on the microcontroller
chosen. Preferably C language would be explored by the group. Other forms of programming
language will be based on Nokia GSM device and the bill & coin validation section.
