Problems solved by technology

However, in the open-based vending machine, during the shopping process, the user can only observe and select one by one among the many commodities displayed in the vending machine, and check the commodities in the vending machine one by one to select the product that the user needs. The more varieties of products on display, the longer the shopping time for users, resulting in low shopping efficiency for users, and it is impossible to select frequently purchased or needed products in a short time
