Abstract

The present disclosure discloses a product recommendation method and a product recommendation device. The product recommendation method includes: detecting whether a sensor arranged on a shopping cart is triggered; determining whether there is a baby in the shopping cart in response to the sensor being triggered; and recommending products related to babies to a user in response to determining that there is a baby in the shopping cart.

First claim

I claim:

1. A product recommendation method for recommending products related to babies, comprising:
determining, by a processor, there is a baby in the shopping cart; and
recommending, by the processor, products related to babies to a user in response to determining that there is a baby in the shopping cart,
wherein determining, by the processor, there is a baby in the shopping cart comprises:
roughly determining there is a baby in the shopping cart by detecting a sensor arranged on a baby seat which is provided on a shopping cart is triggered; and
accurately determining, in response to roughly determining there is a baby in the shopping cart, there is a baby in the shopping cart by:
enabling a camera device for capturing an image;
inputting a captured image to a baby recognition model; and
determining there is a baby in the shopping cart based on an image recognition result output from the baby recognition model.

2. The product recommendation method of claim 1 , wherein said recommending, by the processor, the products related to babies to the user further comprises:
providing, by the processor, to the user an instruction of whether to initiate a recommendation; and
providing, by the processor, the user with the products related to babies in response to receiving an input of initiating the recommendation from the user.

3. The product recommendation method of claim 2 , further comprising:
receiving, by the processor, an instruction of selecting a target product from the user; and
initiating, by the processor, a navigation service for the target product to guide the user to find the target product.

4. The product recommendation method of claim 3 , wherein said initiating, by the processor, the navigation service for the target product further comprises:
detecting, by the processor, location information of the target product and current location information of the shopping cart;
calculating, by the processor, a navigation route based on the location information of the target product and the location information of the shopping cart, and providing a navigation prompt to the user according to the navigation route; and
updating, by the processor, the location information of the shopping cart and the corresponding navigation route in real time based on movement of the shopping cart, until the shopping cart is guided to the location of the target product.

5. The product recommendation method of claim 2 , further comprising:
detecting, by the processor, the current location information of the shopping cart;
determining, by the processor, whether the location information is within an area of a preset product; and
providing, by the processor, the user with prompt information on the preset product, in response to determining that the location information is within the area of a preset product.

6. A product recommendation device, comprising:
a shopping cart having a baby seat;
a sensor arranged on the baby seat;
a camera device arranged on the shopping cart;
a positioning device arranged on the shopping cart for detecting position information of the shopping cart;
a display arranged on the shopping cart;
a memory for storing instructions and a baby recognition model; and
a processor connecting to the sensor, the camera device, the positioning device and the memory, for executing the instructions stored in the memory to:
determine there is a baby in the shopping cart; and
display products related to babies on the display in response to determining that there is a baby in the shopping cart,
wherein the processor executes the instructions to determine there is a baby in the shopping cart by:
roughly determining there is a baby in the shopping cart by detecting the sensor being triggered; and
accurately determining, in response to roughly determining there is a baby in the shopping cart, there is a baby in the shopping cart by:
sending an enablement instruction to enable the camera device to capture an image of the shopping cart in response to the sensor being triggered; and
inputting the image captured by the camera device to the baby recognition model to determine there is a baby in the shopping cart.

7. The product recommendation device of claim 6 , wherein the sensor comprises one or more of a gravity sensor, an infrared sensor, and a temperature sensor.

8. The product recommendation device of claim 6 , wherein the processor further executes the instructions to:
display an instruction of whether to initiate a recommendation on the display; and
display the products related to babies on the display in response to receiving an input of initiating the recommendation from the user.

9. The product recommendation device of claim 8 , wherein the processor further executes the instructions to:
receive an instruction of selecting a target product from the user via the display; and
initiate a navigation service for the target product to guide the user to find the target product.

10. The product recommendation device of claim 9 , wherein the processor further executes the instructions to:
detect location information of the target product;
enable the positioning device to detect current location information of the shopping cart;
calculate a navigation route based on the location information of the target product and the location information of the shopping cart, and providing a navigation prompt to the user on the display according to the navigation route; and
update the location information of the shopping cart and the corresponding navigation route in real time based on movement of the shopping cart, until the shopping cart is guided to the location of the target product.

11. The product recommendation device of claim 8 , wherein the processor further executes the instructions to:
enable the positioning device to detect the current location information of the shopping cart;
determine whether the location information is within an area of a preset product; and
display prompt information on the preset product on the display in response to determining that the location information is within the area of a preset product.

12. The product recommendation device of claim 6 , wherein the processor is located remotely from the shopping cart.
