Patent ID: 11734664

Abstract:
Methods and systems for remote self-checkout are described. One method includes presenting a code at a self-checkout point-of-sale device that may be captured by a user (e.g., a store customer or a store employee) mobile device. The code may enable the mobile device to request a connection with the self-checkout point-of-sale device that allows for user interactions associated with a self-checkout session to be performed at the self-checkout point-of-sale device or at the mobile device. The self-checkout session includes adding items to be purchased into a cart instance and receiving payment for items in the cart instance. User interactions associated with weighed items may be performed on the mobile device in a manner integrated with a scale/scanner portion of the self-checkout point-of-sale device to avoid user contact with a touchpoint of the self-checkout point-of-sale device. Accordingly, contact with a self-checkout point-of-sale device by all users may be reduced.
