Abstract
Systems and methods of controlling self-checkout security validation are presented. In one exemplary embodiment, a method is performed by a first network node operably coupled over a network to a second network node having a sensing device operable to sense self-checkout information associated with self-checkout of an item by the second network node. Further, the second network node is operable to determine that the self-checkout information corresponds to a security violation during the self-checkout of that item and to selectively send an indication to request a validation of the security violation. The method comprises receiving, by the first network node, a validation resolution information indication associated with a resolution of the requested validation of the security violation so as to adaptively control, based on the validation resolution information, a condition by which the second network node determines to send the validation request indication associated with the security violation.
