Abstract
The present disclosure provides a system and method for providing a frictionless shopping experience. The method includes detecting that an item was removed from a first area and detecting, by a camera, a light signal emitted from a cart. The method also includes identifying the cart based on the light signal and determining, based on the identified cart, a shopper linked to the cart. The method further includes determining, based at least in part on a location of the camera in the space, that the shopper removed the item from the first area and assigning the item to the shopper.
