Abstract
An automated checkout system applies environmental effects to physical regions within a store. The automated checkout system logs the environmental effect, a time the environmental effect was applied, and the physical region to which the environmental effect was applied. The automated checkout system detects an interaction event and logs a time associated with the interaction event. The automated checkout system identifies a location of the automated shopping cart and identifies a physical region within the store that contains the automated shopping cart's location. The automated checkout system identifies the environmental effect that was applied to the physical region at the time of the interaction event and generates a data point. For each environmental effect, the automated checkout system computes a success metric based on the generated data points. The automated checkout system applies environmental effects to physical regions based on the success metrics.
