Weight measurement adjustment and inhibition based on sensor measurements

A system comprising:

• one or more load receivers mounted to a shopping cart or shopping basket and configured to perform a weighing operation of items placed into the shopping cart or shopping basket;
• one or more sensors configured to detect values of a parameter relating to the weighing operation of an item, wherein the one or more sensors comprise a motion sensor;
• and
• a processor configured to:
• detect a value of the parameter relating to the weighing operation of the item using the one or more sensors, wherein the value comprises a vibration value representing a measure of vibration of the shopping cart, wherein detecting the value comprises:
• capturing a series of samples from the motion sensor;
• and
• computing a difference between consecutive samples of the series of samples to generate the detected value;
• compare a value of the parameter detected by the sensor to a threshold value;
• and
• responsive to the value being less than the threshold value, determine an actual weight of an item placed in the shopping cart or shopping basket based on the value of the parameter detected by the sensor.
