AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

However, due to factors such as space and cost constraints, most supermarkets are still subject to the limited number of cashier counters and the salary cost of cashiers, resulting in long checkout queues for customers, and often times when the checkout waiting time is longer than the selection time

Customers queuing up to checkout not only wastes customers' time, but also increases the congestion and management costs of the supermarket

[0004] In the prior art, there are also shopping carts with certain self-service accounting functions, but this shopping cart does not have the function of self-checkout, so it is still necessary to go to the cashier at the counter to perform the same checkout, and it is still difficult to avoid queuing at the counter checkout problem

In addition, this kind of shopping cart does not have a loss prevention function, and it is difficult to prevent customers from taking or misplacing goods by mistake.

Therefore, the use of this shopping cart has great limitations, and does not fully solve the problem of customers queuing up to check out
