Restricted item eligibility control at ambient commerce premises

Abstract

An ambient commerce system may include a sensor at an ambient commerce premises, a processor coupled to the one or more sensors, a memory coupled to the processor. The memory may store processor-executable instructions which cause the processor to: detect, based on an output of one or more of the sensors, engagement of an entity with a restricted item; identify the entity; obtain at least a portion of a profile for the entity; determine, based on the at least a portion of the profile for the identified entity, eligibility for the entity to acquire the restricted item; and selectively generate, based on the determined eligibility for the entity, a notification on an electronic device associated with the entity. When the entity is eligible to exit the premise with the restricted item, a notification may trigger on a device to collect input via facial recognition from an image recognition sensor.
