Abstract
According to one embodiment, a mobile sales system includes a mobile sales robot and a server. The robot includes a first processor that acquires user identification information from a user, detects when an item is removed from the robot and acquires a corresponding commodity identification, and transmits the user identification information and commodity identification to the server. The server stores the user identification information and the commodity identification in correlation with each other. Each commodity identification is associated with a settlement flag indicating whether the item has been paid for. The server transmits the commodity identifications stored in correlation with the user identification information to an external device that sends the user identification information to the server when the settlement flag indicates the corresponding item has not yet been paid for and executes settlement (payment) processing using user settlement information when a request is sent from the external device.
