Systems and methods for generating and utilizing temporary digital wallet

A computer may generate a temporary digital wallet containing one or more anonymous payment tokens and transmit the temporary digital wallet to a user device of a user. When the user provides an anonymous payment token of the one or more anonymous payment tokens to a point of sale (POS) system, the computer may receive from the POS system or other systems connected thereto, a request to authorize payment for the anonymous payment token. The request to authorize payment may also include an amount to be paid by the user to the POS system. Using the anonymous payment token, the computer may retrieve a user account and determine that the user account has sufficient funds for the transaction. Based upon the determination that the user account has sufficient funds, the computer may transmit an authorization confirmation back to the POS system or any other system that the authorization request originated from.

Shopping basket monitoring using computer vision

A system for monitoring shopping carts uses cameras to generate images of the carts moving in a store. In some implementations, cameras may additionally or alternatively be mounted to the shopping carts and configured to image cart contents. The system may use the collected image data, and / or other types of sensor data (such as the store location at which an item was added to the basket), to classify items detected in the shopping carts. For example, a trained machine learning model may classify item in a cart as “non-merchandise,”“high theft risk merchandise,”“electronics merchandise,” etc. When a shopping cart approaches a store exit without any indication of an associated payment transaction, the system may use the associated item classification data, optionally in combination with other data such as cart path data, to determine whether to execute an anti-theft action, such as locking a cart wheel or activating a store alarm. The system may also compare the classifications of cart contents to payment transaction records (or summaries thereof) to, e.g., detect underpayment events.
