Abstract

The invention relates to a vending machine and an operation method thereof. The vending machine comprises cameras which are connected to a processor, and the processor is connected to a background server through the network. The cameras shoot real-time image information of commodities for sale on goods racks, and send the real-time image information to the background server through the processor; the cameras shoot real-time image information of the commodities for sale on the goods racks, and identify first types and first quantity of the commodities for sale on the goods racks according to the real-time image information; the background server determines the types and quantity of the extracted commodities for sale according to the first types and the first quantity of the commodities for sale, and closes an account according to the types and quantity of the commodities for sale. By means of the technology, the cost of goods passages is reduced, the capacity of the goods racks is increased, the operation complexity of a user in the purchasing process can be further reduced, and the maintenance requirement is reduced.
