Abstract:
A shopping cart with sensor system is used by customers of a retail store to collect and scan items to be purchased. The shopping cart with sensor system includes a shopping cart and a shopping cart sensor system. Items to be purchased are placed in the shopping cart, where they are automatically scanned by the sensor system. The shopping cart sensor system includes a frame and a sensor coupled to the frame. The frame rotates with respect to the shopping cart so that the sensor can collect product information from items in the shopping cart. A first and a second light bar and a microcomputer are also coupled to the frame. The product information is used to ring up the items a customer wishes to purchase, so the customer does not have to visit a checkout station to have their items rung up.

Claim (Index 10):
A shopping cart with a shopping cart sensor system comprising:\n a shopping cart comprising:\n a shopping basket comprising a bottom panel, four side panels, an open top, and a top rail that encircles the open top; and \n a set of wheels coupled to the shopping basket for transporting the shopping cart; and \n a shopping cart sensor system comprising:\n a frame, wherein the frame is a first elongate member comprising:\n a frame first end rotatably coupled to the top rail; and \n a frame second end opposing the frame first end and rotatably coupled to the top rail; \n \n wherein the frame rotates from a first position to a second position, and wherein the frame is parallel to a plane of the top rail in the first position, and wherein the frame extends perpendicular to the plane of the top rail in the second position; \n a sensor mechanically coupled to the frame; \n a microcomputer enclosed in a microcomputer case, wherein the microcomputer case encloses the microcomputer and is mechanically coupled to the frame, and wherein the microcomputer is electrically coupled to the sensor; and \n a battery pack mechanically coupled to the frame and electrically coupled to the microcomputer; \n wherein the sensor obtains product information from a product in the shopping basket and sends the product information to the microcomputer.
