example 2

[0115] The specific examples are as follows. Example 1: If there is only one kind of preset commodity Q on the tray m, and the weight change △Km is a times of the commodity Q (a is a natural number), it means that a commodity Q has been removed from the tray m. Example 2: If there is more than one preset product Q in pallet m (this step is recorded by image recognition after the door was closed last time), there are other preset products in the tray, for example, in addition to product Q on pallet m, There is also the commodity V preset on the tray j, then judge whether the weight change △Km is the sum of integer multiples of the weight Qz of the commodity Q and the weight Vz of the commodity V, that is, △Km=p*Vz+l*Qz(p, average is a natural number), if it is, it means that p items V and l items Q have been taken away from the tray m; and so on.

[0116] In the above step S106, the way of taking pictures by the camera can be one camera for each tray, or take pictures separate...

example 1

[0118] Example 1: The user scans the code to shop, and after closing the door again, the weight sensor detects that the weight of the product in tray 1 has changed, and the changed weight is 500g. Assuming that the weight of a uniform iced tea is preset to 250g, then 500 / 250=2, 2 is Integer, and greater than zero, so it is determined that the user took out 2 bottles of uniform iced tea.

[0119] Example 2: The user closes the door after scanning the QR code for shopping, and the weight sensor detects that the weight of the product in tray 4 has changed to 100g, and the tray 4 is filled with uniform instant noodles with a preset weight of 100g. It is detected that the weight of the product in tray 1 has changed to 400g, and the uniform iced tea is placed in tray 1, the preset weight is 250g, and 400 / 250=1.6, 1.6 is not an integer, so it is further judged by image recognition that it has been misplaced Commodity, after the vending device closes the door, use the same method as a...

Abstract

The invention discloses a self-service retail system, a control method thereof, a vending device and a cloud server. The self-service retail system comprises the vending device and the cloud server. The vending device comprises a plurality of shelves, a plurality of weight sensors for respectively performing weight detection on the plurality of shelves to generate a weight detection signal, a plurality of cameras for respectively acquiring images of commodities on the plurality of shelves, a communicator for communicating with the cloud server, a first controller used for sending the weight detection signal and the commodity images to the cloud server, and the cloud server for obtaining a target shelf whose weight changes according to the weight detection signal and performing settlement according to the weight detection signal of the target shelf and the corresponding product images. According to the self-service retail system of the embodiment of the invention, the accuracy of identifying commodities to be paid is improved, the problem of the loss of a merchant or a user due to the wrong payment can be effectively solved, and a better user experience can be brought to the user.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of automation equipment, in particular to an unmanned retail system, a control method of the unmanned retail system, a vending device and a cloud server. Background technique [0002] In the related technology, there is a new type of unmanned retail container, which can use the mobile phone to scan the code to open the door and automatically pay when the door is closed. The way to install the gravity sensor at the bottom; ③The way of image recognition. [0003] However, although the above-mentioned first method of identifying products has a good experience, the cost of labeling is high; although the above-mentioned second method of identifying products is low-cost and has a good experience, once the user misplaces the product, the background settlement is easy. Error; the above-mentioned third way of identifying goods is not yet fully qualified for independent use because the current recognition rat...
