Problems solved by technology

However, the current automatic vending cabinets can only carry out automatic shipment and automatic settlement according to the user's choice, and cannot accurately identify the user's shopping behavior and what they have obtained in an open retail shopping environment, so as to realize settlement
[0004] In short, in the current open shopping environment, it is only possible to manually check, count, and calculate the total price of the goods purchased by consumers one by one, which consumes a lot of labor costs, takes a long time to settle, and is inefficient and accurate. Poor and poor user experience
