  • Patent number: 10846997
    Abstract: A shopping payment system for promptly settling a product price without bothering humans. The system comprising, a management server that assists customers to settle their merchandise purchases, a camera capable of communicating with the management server and capable of imaging a product that moves in and out of the shopping basket, and a customer terminal for accessing the management server. The management server links the customer terminal with the camera, which receives an instruction to start imaging and transmits imaging information of the product to the management server, which identifies the product type based on the imaging information. If identified normally, the management server notifies shopping product details to the customer terminal. If not identified normally, the management server notifies an abnormal state to the customer terminal. When the customer approves the shopping product details, the customer terminal notifies the approval to the management server to complete payment.
