Abstract

According to an aspect there is provided an ambient commerce system. The ambient commerce system may include a sensor at an ambient commerce premises. The ambient commerce system may include a processor coupled to the one or more sensors. The ambient commerce system may include a memory coupled to the processor. The memory may store processor-executable instructions which, when executed, cause the processor to: detect, based on an output of one or more of the sensors, engagement of an entity with a restricted item; identify the entity; obtain at least a portion of a profile for the entity; determine, based on the at least a portion of the profile for the identified entity, eligibility for the entity to acquire the restricted item; and selectively generate, based on the determined eligibility for the entity, a notification on an electronic device associated with the entity.
