Abstract:
In some embodiments, systems and methods are provided to confirm customer scanning of products. Some embodiments provide retail store automated product confirmation systems, comprising: a plurality of RFID tag readers; a scan compiling circuit communicatively coupled with a plurality of portable product scanning systems and configured to associate the scanned identifying information with the customer and create a purchase list; and a scan confirmation circuit configured to: receive product identifying information detected by two RFID tag readers and associated with the customer without the customer having to travel through a choke point, generate an RFID detected product listing, determine a current level of accuracy between the RFID detected product listing and the purchase list, and direct an action be taken based on the determined level of accuracy.
