System and method for populating a virtual shopping cart based on a verification of algorithmic determinations of items selected during a shopping session in a physical store

A method comprising:

• displaying, in a first region of the display, a virtual shopping cart;
• displaying, in a second region of the display, a virtual layout configured to emulate a physical layout of a physical store, the virtual layout comprising:
• a first virtual rack associated with a first virtual item, the first virtual item comprising a graphical representation of a first physical item;
• and
• a second virtual rack associated with a second virtual item, the second virtual item comprising a graphical representation of a second physical item;
• receiving information indicating that an algorithm determined that the first physical item was selected by a person during a shopping session in the physical store, wherein the algorithm determined that the first physical item was selected by the person based on a set of inputs received from sensors located within the physical store;
• in response to receiving the information indicating that the algorithm determined that the first item was selected:
• displaying, in a third region of the display, the first virtual item;
• displaying, in a fourth region of the display, a first rack video captured during the shopping session of the person in the physical store, the first rack video captured by a first rack camera of a set of rack cameras located in the physical store, the first rack camera directed at a first physical rack of a set of physical racks located in the physical store, the first physical rack comprising the first physical item;
• in response to displaying the first rack video, receiving information identifying the second virtual rack, wherein the first rack video does not depict that the person selected the first physical item;
• and
• in response to receiving the information identifying the second virtual rack:
• displaying, in the third region of the display the second virtual item;
• displaying, in the fourth region of the display, a second rack video captured during the shopping session of the person in the physical store, the second rack video captured by a second rack camera of the set of rack cameras located in the physical store, the second rack camera directed at a second physical rack of the set of physical racks, the second physical rack comprising the second physical item;
• in response to displaying the second rack video, receiving information identifying the second virtual item, wherein the second rack video depicts that the person selected the second physical item while interacting with the second physical rack;
• and
• in response to receiving the information identifying the second virtual item, storing the second virtual item in the virtual shopping cart.

An apparatus comprising:

• a display;
• and
• a hardware processor communicatively coupled to the display, the hardware processor configured to:
• display, in a first region of the display, a virtual shopping cart;
• display, in a second region of the display, a virtual layout configured to emulate a physical layout of a physical store, the virtual layout comprising:
• a first virtual rack associated with a first virtual item, the first virtual item comprising a graphical representation of a first physical item;
• and
• a second virtual rack associated with a second virtual item, the second virtual item comprising a graphical representation of a second physical item;
• receive information indicating that an algorithm determined that the first physical item was selected by a person during a shopping session in the physical store, wherein the algorithm determined that the first physical item was selected by the person based on a set of inputs received from sensors located within the physical store;
• in response to receiving the information indicating that the algorithm determined that the first item was selected:
• display, in a second region of the display, the first virtual item;
• display, in a third region of the display, a first rack video captured during the shopping session of the person in the physical store, the first rack video captured by a first rack camera of a set of rack cameras located in the physical store, the first rack camera directed at a first physical rack of a set of physical racks located in the physical store, the first physical rack comprising the first physical item;
• in response to displaying the first rack video, receive information indicating that the person did not select the first physical item during the shopping session, wherein the first rack video does not depict that the person selected the first physical item while interacting with the first physical rack;
• and
• in response to receiving the information indicating that the person did not select the first physical item:
• remove the first virtual item from the second region of the display;
• receive information identifying the second virtual rack;
• and
• in response to receiving the information identifying the second virtual rack:
• display, in the third region of the display, the second virtual item;
• receive information identifying the second virtual item;
• and
• in response to receiving the information identifying the second virtual item, store the second virtual item in the virtual shopping cart.
