AI Technical Summary

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. Such as 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 equipment 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 wei...

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.

[0067] Supermarkets need to measure when using the supermarket robot self-service shopping system, in order to prevent people from carrying goods out. There is a need for a means of monitoring and preventing people from entering supermarkets to shop effectively without compromising their rights.

[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...

Abstract

A method for shopping in a supermarket, comprising: identifying an incoming customer at a supermarket entrance gate and weighing the customer (A1); providing a self-service shopping system for the customer to perform self-service shopping and check-out (A2); and providing an exit weighing system at a supermarket exit gate to compare the current weight of the customer with the weight of the customer when entering the supermarket, and allow the customer to leave within a permissible range (A3). Also provided is a system for shopping in a supermarket, comprising: a supermarket entrance gate provided at a supermarket entrance to identify an incoming customer; an entrance weighing system used for weighing the incoming customer; a self-service shopping system used for self-service shopping and check-out of the customer; a supermarket exit gate provided near the self-service shopping system; and an exit weighing system for weighing an outgoing customer and comparing the current weight of the customer with the weight of the customer when entering the supermarket, to allow the customer to leave within a permissible range. Operating costs and the risk of commodity loss can be reduced.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a method and a system for shopping by machine in a supermarket, and belongs to the technical field of supermarket intelligent shopping and its application. Background technique [0002] Supermarket transactions must be fair. No matter what kind of cash register method and system the supermarket adopts, it must implement the principle of fair trading. In the fair trade of supermarkets, inspection of goods is an essential procedure.
