Problems solved by technology

This method cannot detect some bad consumer behaviors: a) Some consumers who are unconscious and greedy for small profits tend to take more commodities (such as taking five commodities), and only scan part of them by themselves (such as only scanning two commodities by themselves) ), not even scanning a single item, and as a result only paid for part of the goods, or even did not pay for any goods, but took away all the goods, causing loss of goods to the supermarket
b) Some consumers who are unconscious and greedy for small profits will use the means of "dropping" halfway, self-scanning a cheap product (such as product A), but will scan an expensive product that is similar in weight to the cheap product (such as Commodity B) is placed on the weighing plate. This method will confuse the two commodities into one commodity, thinking that commodity B is commodity A, and the inspection passes. As a result, the consumer only pays for the cheap commodity (commodity A), but takes it away. Expensive commodity (commodity B) was purchased, causing loss of commodity price difference to the supermarket

Embodiment 1

[0035] Embodiment 1 - self-service inspection method

[0036] The invention proposes a self-service inspection method of a supermarket robot. like figure 1 Shown, method of the present invention comprises:

[0037] S1. Scan the barcodes of the commodities placed in the cargo warehouse to obtain the commodity barcode information List, and simultaneously weigh the weight C of the commodities in the cargo warehouse. The scanning is a visual scanning, and devices such as a camera and a barcode recognition module may be used. The commodity barcode may be a two-dimensional code, a one-dimensional code, or the like.

[0038]In the present invention, "synchronously" means that the scanner in the cargo compartment scans the barcode of the commodity at a very high frequency (for example, millisecond level) almost at the same time,

[0039] S2, if the commodity barcode information read from the database is consistent with the commodity barcode information read in S1, read the weight ...

Embodiment 2

[0050] Embodiment 2 - self-service inspection system

[0051] The invention also proposes a self-service inspection system.

[0052] see figure 2 , the self-service inspection system RT of the present invention includes a cabinet 14, the front panel of the cabinet 14 is provided with a cargo inspection door 11, and the cabinet 14 is provided with a driving mechanism 10 for the inspection cabinet door. The inspection bin door driving mechanism 10 and the inspection bin door 11 form a motion mechanism. When the rotating shaft of the motor of the inspection bin door driving mechanism 10 rotates in one direction, the inspection bin door driving mechanism 10 drives the inspection bin door 11 to open. When the rotating shaft of the motor of the inspection bin door driving mechanism 10 rotates in another direction, the inspection bin door driving mechanism 10 drives the inspection bin door 11 to close. A safety grating 15 can also be installed at the inspection warehouse door 11 ....

Embodiment 3

[0065] Embodiment 3 - Improved self-service shopping method and system

[0066] Another aspect of the present invention proposes an improvement to the self-service shopping method and system of Embodiment 1 and Embodiment 2, such as Figure 5 shown.

[0068] A1, identify and weigh incoming customers at the entrance gate of the supermarket. When the customer presses the button at the entrance, or the mobile phone user scans the code at the entrance, the 1# gate of the gate will automatically and quickly open. Simultaneous counting begins, and the user then passes through the weighing system underfoot. At the same time, there is face recognition, and it is confirmed that it is an a...
