Project ideas regarding OOP

I am a student of 2nd semester(Electrical Engineering)and a little help is required regarding a project.It's basically a project covering OOP concepts like polymorphism,inheritance,file handling etc.
The project I had in mind mainly had the idea that I read the Barcode of our student ID cards through a USB Barcode scanner and then through File Handling check the directory if the existing data corresponding to that barcode already existed.
The only problem is that I don't know if it's do-able or not...If so then what will be the steps to proceed...?

Also if it's not do-able can you please suggest an alternative program because I am really short on time to think about a project right now :(
You will need to look on the manufacturer website for your barcode scanner to find documentation on the API. If you're lucky, they might even provide a single line of example code.

The rest of your project, by comparison, will be an order of magnitude less frustrating.
