Abstract:
Methods and systems are provided for evaluating shopping cart wheels using a sensor module or one or more microphones engaged with the shopping cart. The microphones can be used to detect sounds generated by the wheels of the shopping cart. A sound signature can be determined from the detected sound and compared to sound signatures in a database. If the detected sound indicates that a wheel of the shopping cart is failing, an alert can be generated using an associate alert system.

Claim (Index 14):
The shopping cart of  claim 11 , wherein the processor is operatively coupled to a memory including a database of sound signatures and the processor is further configured to execute instructions to:\n derive a sound signature from the received signals; and compare the sound signature of the received signals to a signature in the database of sound signatures to generate information related to the received signals including the sound signature.
