Abstract:
In some embodiments, systems and methods are provided to confirm customer scanning of products. Some embodiments provide retail store automated product confirmation systems, comprising: a plurality of RFID tag readers; a scan compiling circuit communicatively coupled with a plurality of portable product scanning systems and configured to associate the scanned identifying information with the customer and create a purchase list; and a scan confirmation circuit configured to: receive product identifying information detected by two RFID tag readers and associated with the customer without the customer having to travel through a choke point, generate an RFID detected product listing, determine a current level of accuracy between the RFID detected product listing and the purchase list, and direct an action be taken based on the determined level of accuracy.

Claim (Index 1):
A retail store automated product confirmation system, comprising:\n a plurality of RFID tag readers arranged in a grid over a sales floor of a retail store; a scan compiling circuit operating independent of the plurality of RFID tag readers and communicatively coupled with a plurality of portable product scanning systems each configured to enable a customer to scan identifying information of products at a retail store that the customer intends to purchase as the customer travels along the sales floor of the retail store, wherein the scan compiling circuit is configured to associate the scanned identifying information with the customer and create a purchase list of the products scanned by the customer; and a scan confirmation circuit communicatively coupled with the plurality of RFID tag readers and the scan compiling circuit, wherein the scan confirmation circuit is configured to:\n receive product identifying information of products detected by at least two different RFID tag readers of the plurality of RFID tag readers, and wherein the received product identifying information and the corresponding products are to be associated with the customer as the customer travels along the sales floor without the customer having to travel through a choke point in the retail store, \n generate an RFID detected product listing of the products detected by the at least two different RFID tag readers and that are associated with the customer, \n determine a current level of accuracy based on the consistency between the RFID detected product listing and the purchase list, and \n direct that at least a first action be taken based on the determined level of accuracy determination of whether the RFID detected product listing is consistent with the purchase list.
