Abstract
Methods, systems, and computer-readable media are provided for tracking frictionless shopping eligibility relative to individual shopping receptacles. In one implementation a method comprises: obtaining image data captured using a plurality of image sensors; analyzing the image data to identify a shopper at one or more locations; detecting, based on the analysis of the image data, a first product interaction event involving a first shopping receptacle associated with the shopper and a second product interaction event involving a second shopping receptacle associated with the shopper; based on the detected first product interaction event, determining whether the first shopping receptacle is eligible for frictionless checkout; based on the detected second product interaction event, determining whether the second shopping receptacle is eligible for frictionless checkout; and causing delivery of an indicator identifying which of the first shopping receptacle or the second shopping receptacle is ineligible for frictionless checkout.
