Abstract
The invention concerns a method for detecting the handling of products on a display stand by a person, the products being provided with electronic tags, each person being associated with a communicating object, the display stand comprising a near-field communication device and at least two receivers. The method comprises the repetition of: a product inventory step during which the display stand sends and receives messages communicated by near-field communication in order to identify and locate the products; a step of comparing inventories in order to determine, between two successive inventories, a product removed from or added to the display stand and the position thereof; a step of locating a person by triangulation using the radio-frequency receivers receiving a signal from the communicating object; an association step during which a person is associated with a product when they are close.
