Abstract
A method for using an electronic shopping list to resolve ambiguity associated with a selected product may include accessing an electronic shopping list associated with a customer of a retail store; receiving image data captured using one or more image sensors in the retail store; analyzing the image data to detect a product selection event involving a shopper; identifying a product associated with the detected product selection event based on analysis of the image data and further based on the electronic shopping list; and based on the identification of the product, updating a virtual shopping cart associated with the shopper.
