Abstract
According to one embodiment of the invention, a system for creating a virtual shopping cart based on location information embedded in an image and the results of image recognition performed on the image is described. One embodiment of the system comprises an access point comprising a hardware processor wherein the system is configured to perform operations comprising: obtaining a first image, of a particular product, taken by a device operated by a user, identifying a first physical location of the device when the image was taken by the device, based on the first physical location, filtering a set of images corresponding to a plurality of products to obtain a first subset of images that are stored in association with the first physical location, and comparing the first image to the first subset of images to identify a product, from the plurality of products, that matches the particular product.
