Problems solved by technology

However, in the open-based vending machine, during the shopping process, when the user needs to return the purchase for reasons such as dislike, the product needs to be returned to the original area, so that other consumers can more conveniently store according to the Clear placement to select products, but the existing vending machines cannot judge whether the products are put back to their original positions.

Abstract

The invention provides a commodity purchasing method and device based on a vending machine and a user terminal, wherein the method comprises the following steps: receiving a shopping instruction and starting the vending machine according to the shopping instruction; detecting commodities in the vending machine in real time to identify the target commodity captured by the user; if the target commodity captured by the user is put back into the vending machine, judging whether the target commodity is put back into the placement area corresponding to the target commodity; if the target commodity is not returned to the target area, reporting an error through an LED lamp by the vending machine, and prompting the user to return the target commodity to the placement area by voice. The invention achieve the effect that in the open shopping environment, the user is prompted to return commodities which are not placed in the correct position to the placement areas, thereby intelligently keeping the commodities in the vending machine to be placed according to a certain position, providing convenience for consumers when shopping and improving the user experience.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of image recognition, and more specifically, relates to a commodity purchasing method, device and user terminal based on an automatic vending machine. Background technique [0002] Material circulation is the most basic element of human society. As an important means of current material circulation, the retail industry or open related industries that sell directly to consumers (hereinafter referred to as the retail industry or retail enterprises) need to employ a large number of cashiers to realize the purchase and sale of goods. The purchased items are counted one by one, and after the statistics are completed, the payment is completed together with the consumer. [0003] The vending machine solves the defects of manual statistics and manual settlement in the retail industry, and is a consumer-oriented sales method with unmanned sales and automatic settlement. Through the user's selection, the typ...
