Introduction
The Coin-Earning Browser aims to make web browsing
engaging and rewarding through gamification
Accumulation of coins based on browsing time.
Exchangeable rewards in the form of discount
coupons.
Seamless integration of a web browser for practical
use.
Mini Project - 22ISE58
Problem Definition
Staying engaged in routine web browsing can feel
monotonous, with no tangible rewards for the time spent
online. This leads to reduced motivation and interest.
There’s a need for a gamified solution that makes
browsing more rewarding, enjoyable, and interactive
while offering real-world incentives for user
engagement.
Mini Project - 22ISE58
Proposed system
Gamified Web Browsing:Users earn virtual coins automatically
based on their browsing time, adding a layer of engagement to
routine activity.
Coupon Redemption:Coins can be exchanged for discount
coupons, randomly selected from a database, offering tangible
rewards for users.
Integrated Browser Features:Includes essential navigation tools
like Back and Forward buttons for a seamless browsing experience.
Database Management:A SQLite database stores and retrieves
coupon details, ensuring efficient and reliable operation.
User-Friendly Interface:A visually appealing and intuitive design
using PyQt5 enhances the overall user experience.
Mini Project – 22ISE58
Objectives
1. Increase User Engagement:To make web browsing more
interactive and fun by rewarding users with coins for their activity.
2. Provide Real-World Rewards:To offer users tangible incentives
(coupons) for their time spent online, motivating continuous
interaction.
3. Simplify User Experience:To design an easy-to-use interface
with seamless navigation, ensuring users can enjoy browsing
without distractions.
4. Demonstrate Gamification in Browsing:To explore how
gamification can be applied to daily tasks, transforming routine
browsing into an enjoyable activity.
5. Ensure Efficient Reward System:To implement a reliable system
that tracks coins, rewards, and coupon redemption efficiently.

Design Modules
User Interface Design:
Built using PyQt5 for a simple, intuitive layout with a browser, progress bar, and
buttons.
Database Design:
SQLite stores coupon data, including name, code, category, and applicable
section.
Reward System:
Coins accumulate automatically and can be redeemed for random coupons.
Timer Mechanism:
Timers track browsing time and coin increments, providing real-time updates to
users.
Coupon Management:
Coupons are selected randomly and displayed in a dialog with a copy-to-
clipboard option.
