Abstract

L'invention concerne un distributeur automatique et un procédé de fonctionnement associé. Le distributeur automatique comprend une caméra (120) connectée à un processeur (140). Le processeur (140) est connecté à un serveur gestionnaire (20) au moyen d'un réseau. La caméra (120) acquiert des informations d'image en temps réel de marchandises à vendre exposées sur un rayonnage et les transmet au serveur gestionnaire (20) au moyen du processeur (140). La caméra (120) acquiert les informations d'image en temps réel des marchandises à vendre exposées sur le rayonnage, et identifie une catégorie et une première quantité d'une première marchandise à vendre sur le rayonnage. Le serveur gestionnaire (20) détermine, selon la catégorie et la première quantité de la première marchandise, une catégorie et une quantité d'une marchandise retirée pour calculer une quantité de paiement. Le distributeur automatique susmentionné et son procédé de fonctionnement réduisent la complexité de fonctionnement pour un utilisateur dans un processus d'achat, et réduisent l'exigence de maintenance.
