Let us introduce our patent ofsmart shopping cart and basket.
No cash registers and zero waiting time at checkout counters
in stores are what everyone needs as people want to
avoid unnecessary interactions with other people under COVID-19.
A smart shopping system fulfils this demand.
However, any current smart shopping systems do not have
a theft prevention function even though that function is
essentially indispensable when eliminating cash registers.
We believe our theft prevention function is the key to smart shopping
without cash registers and checkout counters prevailing.
We have focused primarily on these functions through the use of theft
prevention LED lights integrated into shopping carts and baskets,
which allow personnel to easily determine whether shoppers are
shopping in a correct manner.
We have the patent for this technology in Japan, the U.S. and Australia.

WHAT IS SMART SHOPPING CART?
What is a smart shopping
cart and basket?It is you providing the next generation shopping experience.
Our smart shopping carts and baskets are comprised of existing shopping carts and baskets,
a camera to scan products and LED lights on carts and baskets
to indicate whether the shopper is correctly buying their items.
Current smart shopping carts and baskets
have a camera and an infrared reader to scan products;
however, they don’t have a shoplift prevention system
nor do they have an easy app-based payment system like ours.
That’s why most stores don’t introduce the smart shopping systems and,
even now, customers have to wait at a cash register.
FEATURES
FeaturesOur smart shopping app is available for any size store.
- Big store → a camera and LED lights are installed on shopping carts.
- Small and medium stores → a camera and LED lights are installed on shopping baskets.
Big store
Small and medium stores- Our app will automatically identify the size of a store with GPS, so the app will be available for any size store from convenience stores to shopping malls.
- An Al will judge whether shoppers follow proper scanning procedures or not and will notify store authorities whether normal and especially abnormal procedures are being followed by shoppers.
- Our app will have a credit payment function. Customer’s credit will be verified with their credit card company in the app.
- With LED lights on carts, staff will be able to easily recognize a customer’s shopping status and judge whether customers have complete shopping payments or not. Our shopping system will have a shoplifting prevention function, so a cashier won’t be necessary.
- By removing cash registers, stores will be able to save the cost of introducing new cash registers and customers will be able to avoid interactions with cashiers.
We are looking for partners to advantage of our patent.
Please feel free to contact us if you have any questions or inquiries.
LARGE SHOP
Introduction to the big store system
Our smart smart shopping cart is comprised of existing shopping carts, a camera to scan product and LED lights for crime prevention. With a previously downloaded shopping app, customers can easily complete shopping without going through a cashier.
Overview
Customers must have downloaded the shopping app before entering.
- Customers turn on the shopping app at the entrance of a store.
- After CPS identifies the store, customers register the cart number of the smart shopping cart.
- Customer information (app information) is sent to a shopping management server, and the server connects the cart to the customer app.
- The server verifies the credit information of the customer with their credit card company. (This process is completed in seconds.) When credit has been verified, the customer can start shopping with the cart.
- 5. Customers can freely pick up products on shelves and put them into the cart after scanning the barcode of the products with the camera on the cart.
- 6. If customers scan the products properly, the LEDs on the carts light up in a color indicating normality. If the product is not scanned properly, the LEDs light up in a color indicating abnormality.
- When the color indicating abnormality is turned on, customers needs to remove the product from the cart (while scanning the barcode with camera ) and, again, put that product into the cart by scanning the barcode with the camera. If the product is scanned properly, LED lights on the cart turn on in a color indicating normality.
- 8. If the shopping monetary amount exceeds the customer’s credit card limit, again the server implements a credit verification with the credit card company.
- 9. When customers finish shopping, they go to a payment area in the stop and tap a payment completion button on the app. At that point, payments are completed.
