Deformed example 1

[0144] In the above-mentioned embodiment, the processing of controlling the movement of the shopping cart 1 alone is performed, but a server communicable with a plurality of shopping carts 1 may be provided, and the processing of controlling the movement of the shopping cart 1 may be performed on the server side. For example, the shopping cart 1 only performs the process of transmitting the image captured by the camera 2051 to the server, and other processes may be performed by the server via the communication network.

[0145] In this case, since the shopping cart 1 only transmits the image to the server, the specifications of the cart terminal 2 (the performance of the CPU 252, the capacity of the nonvolatile memory 258, etc.) can be suppressed. In addition, the status of a plurality of shopping carts 1 (movable status, load status on casters, locked status, etc.) of the plurality of shopping carts 1 can be grasped on the server side. In this way, a plurality of shopping car...

Deformed example 2

[0147] In the above-mentioned embodiment, the mode in which the lock of the caster portion 203 is released when the determination unit 2512 determines that the shopping cart 1 has moved from the second area to the first area has been described. However, the method of unlocking the caster portion 203 is not limited to this.

[0148] For example, it is also possible to provide a linear release pattern for instructing the release of the lock in the same manner as the restriction pattern, and to register the information of the release pattern in the pattern information 2581 in advance. In this case, the movement control unit 2513 When the detection part 2511 detects the release pattern, the lock control of the caster part 203 is released.

[0149] Figure 9 It is an explanatory diagram showing an example of the process of canceling the lock control of the caster wheels of the shopping cart according to Modification 2.
