The processor command distribution module sends the advertising information to the light box 104 through the information transmission module, and the light box 104 displays the retrieved advertising information.
[0052] When purchasing goods, consumers can choose the cabinet from which to purchase goods according to temperature requirements, and operate the operating touch screen of the corresponding cabinet to select the goods and quantity to be purchased. After the selection is completed, the display screen will show the payment amount and payment method selection: it can be WeChat payment, Alipay payment, payment with own payment account, and cash payment. There is no restriction here. After the consumer completes the payment, the automatic door opens. The gravity sensing device sends the gravity data of the last moment when the automatic door is opened to the server, and the server storage unit stores the gravity data of the last moment when the automatic door is opened; the second shooting device shoots the facial information of the consumer who takes the goods, and sends the facial information of the consumer who takes the goods to the server, and the server storage unit stores the facial information of the consumer who takes the goods. When the goods are taken abnormally, the administrator operates the operation display screen 103 to retrieve the facial information of the consumer who takes the goods to track the goods that are taken abnormally; the first shooting device shoots the process of consumers taking goods, and sends the process of consumers taking goods to the server, and the analysis unit analyzes the type and quantity of products taken by consumers based on the process of consumers taking goods; when the consumer completes taking goods, the automatic door is closed, and the processor controls the automatic door lock 214 to lock, and at the same time, the gravity sensing device locks the automatic door when the automatic door is closed. The gravity data at that moment is sent to the server, and the computing unit of the server calculates the gravity difference of the gravity sensing device before and after the consumer takes the goods, and calculates the number of goods taken by the consumer according to the types of goods selected by the consumer; the analyzing unit checks and analyzes whether the types and quantities of goods selected by the consumer to pay are consistent with the types and quantities of goods taken by the consumer captured by the first camera to see if they are consistent; if the types and quantities of goods selected by the consumer to pay are consistent with the types and quantities of goods taken by the consumer captured by the first camera, no operation is performed; if the types and quantities of goods selected by the consumer to pay are inconsistent with the types and quantities of goods taken by the consumer captured by the first camera, the server communication unit sends an error message to the administrator's mobile terminal, which specifically includes: the types and quantities of goods selected by the consumer to pay, the types and quantities of goods taken by the consumer captured by the first camera, location information, consumer payment account information, etc.
