Embodiment 1

[0045] to combine figure 1 , an automatic payment method of the present invention, according to the change of the total weight of the predetermined item on the shelf and the collected image, confirm the quantity of the item consumed by the user and pay or confirm the method of payment.

[0046] The steps of the payment method include:

[0047] S1: The server receives the change in the total weight of the items sent by the shelf, and confirms the products and quantities consumed by the user;

[0048] S2: The server receives the image information from the camera and confirms the consumer;

[0049] S3: The server records the consumption under the name of the consumer.

[0050] The steps for confirming consumers include:

[0051] S2-1: The server receives the image information from the camera corresponding to the shelf whose weight has changed;

[0052] S2-2: The server recognizes the face in the image;

[0053] S2-3: The server compares the recognized face with the informati...

Embodiment 2

[0057] On the basis of Embodiment 1, the step of confirming the product and quantity consumed by the user on the shelf includes:

[0058] S1-1: The server monitors the total weight of items on the weighing platform in real time;

[0059] S1-2: The server confirms whether the increase or decrease of the total weight of the items on the weighing platform is within the set threshold range;

[0060] If the increase in the total weight is within the set threshold range or an integer multiple of the threshold range, the user’s consumption of the item will be reduced by 1 or the corresponding integer multiple of 1;

[0061] If the reduction in the total weight is within the set threshold range or an integer multiple of the threshold range, the user’s consumption of the item will be added to the quantity of the item by 1 or the quantity minus the corresponding integer multiple of 1;

[0062] If the increase or decrease of the total weight is not within the set threshold, an alarm sig...

Embodiment 3

[0070] On the basis of embodiment 2,

[0071] Due to weather, humidity and other reasons, the weight of each cargo changes with the weather will produce a certain error. If the error is not eliminated, as the number of goods taken away increases, the error will accumulate, which may lead to deviations in the number of remaining goods. Therefore, an elimination threshold is set. Error method, the initial threshold range calculation formula is:

[0072] (total weight of goods put in / total quantity of goods put in)±(total weight of goods put in / total quantity of goods put in)*1%;

[0073] After putting it away, turn on the receiving mode. Every time the goods are detected to decrease, recalculate the threshold range of the remaining goods. The calculation formula is:

[0074] [Total weight of the goods after being taken / (total quantity of goods before being taken - quantity of goods taken away)] ± [total weight of goods after being taken / (total quantity of goods before being...

Abstract

The invention discloses an automatic payment method. According to the method, through image acquisition and target recognition and the increase or decrease of weight of scheduled objects on a shelf, user consumption is confirmed, and payment is carried out or confirmed. A server receives video information emitted by a camera. The server carried out target identification according to the received video information and marks identified targets. The server carries out target identification according to the received video information, marks the identified targets, and generates a corresponding shopping list. When the marked targets are taken and/or the objects are placed back, the shelf automatically identifies a number and category of the taken or returned objects through weight detection, the number and category are added into the shopping list and an object price is calculated, the money payment or payment confirmation is carried out with various money collection modes through identifying a payment instruction, the goods identification or payment by any staff in the middle is not needed, no customer is lost, the number of staff is reduced, the cost is reduced, and the profit rate is improved.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to an automatic payment method. Background technique [0002] At this stage, shopping is mostly in stores, supermarkets, restrooms, and coffee shops, etc., all of which require manual or human-operated machines to judge the number, type, and price of the purchased items. Most merchants choose to close when the flow of people is low. Or hire multiple shop assistants to work in shifts, which is very limited by the use of personnel. In both cases, the cost is increased and the profit margin is reduced. [0003] Or vending machines, but the vending machines at this stage are all closed, you can’t take out the goods to check whether they are the desired items, or check the production date and shelf life of the items, etc., and the vending machines at the current stage Only one item can be purchased, and payment in advance is required. It cannot give people the experience of shopping in a supermarket, and has more restrictions on the i...
