Abstract

The embodiments of the present disclosure provide a method for selling a commodity, a vending machine and a storage medium. The method includes: acquiring an image of eyes of a user, determining based on the image of eyes a gaze point of the user within a commodity displaying plane matching a vending machine; determining, based on position coordinates of at least two commodities in the commodity displaying plane and the gaze point, an expected commodity corresponding to the user; providing commodity indication information of the expected commodity to the user; and in response to detecting purchase confirmation information fed back by the user for the commodity indication information, guiding the user to use at least one biological characteristic to finish payment for the expected commodity.

Claims

1. A method for selling a commodity, comprising:

acquiring an image of eyes of a user, determining based on the image of eyes a gaze point of the user within a commodity displaying plane matching a vending machine;

determining, based on position coordinates of at least two commodities in the commodity displaying plane and the gaze point, an expected commodity corresponding to the user;

providing commodity indication information of the expected commodity to the user; and

in response to detecting purchase confirmation information fed back by the user for the commodity indication information, guiding the user to use at least one biological characteristic to finish payment for the expected commodity.

2. The method of claim 1, wherein, providing the commodity indication information of the expected commodity to the user comprises:

acquiring commodity description information of the expected commodity, constructing based on the commodity description information the commodity indication information; and

providing the commodity indication information to the user via speech broadcasting.

3. The method of claim 1, wherein, providing the commodity indication information of the expected commodity to the user comprises:

determining position recognition information of a state indicator light matching the expected commodity; and

lightening the state indicator light matching the position recognition information to generate the commodity indication information for providing to the user.

4. The method of claim 1, wherein, detecting the purchase confirmation information fed back by the user for the commodity indication information comprises:

in response to identifying a confirmation key term based on user speech information acquired by a microphone, determining that the purchase confirmation information is detected.

5. The method of claim 1, wherein, detecting the purchase confirmation information fed back by the user for the commodity indication information comprises:

in response to identifying a standard head action based on at least two frames of images of the user captured by a camera, determining that the purchase confirmation information is detected;

wherein the standard head action comprises nodding or blinking.

6. The method of claim 1, wherein, guiding the user to use at least one biological characteristic to finish payment for the expected commodity comprises:

providing payment information corresponding to the expected commodity to the user and indicating the user to input at least two biological characteristics respectively;

acquiring a target payment account corresponding to the at least two biological characteristics, and performing based on the payment information a payment operation matching the target payment account;

wherein the biological characteristic comprises face, voice print, iris and fingerprint.

7. A vending machine, comprising:

one or more processors;

a memory for storing one or more programs;

wherein when the one or more programs are executed by the one or more processors, the one or more processors are caused to perform the method for selling a commodity, comprising;

acquiring an image of eyes of a user, determining based on the image of eyes a gaze point of the user within a commodity displaying plane matching a vending machine;

determining, based on position coordinates of at least two commodities in the commodity displaying plane and the gaze point, an expected commodity corresponding to the user;

providing commodity indication information of the expected commodity to the user; and

in response to detecting purchase confirmation information fed back by the user for the commodity indication information, guiding the user to use at least one biological characteristic to finish payment for the expected commodity.

8. The vending machine of claim 7, wherein, providing the commodity indication information of the expected commodity to the user comprises:

acquiring commodity description information of the expected commodity, constructing based on the commodity description information the commodity indication information; and

providing the commodity indication information to the user via speech broadcasting.

9. The vending machine of claim 7, wherein, providing the commodity indication information of the expected commodity to the user comprises:

determining position recognition information of a state indicator light matching the expected commodity; and

lightening the state indicator light matching the position recognition information to generate the commodity indication information for providing to the user.

10. The vending machine of claim 7, wherein, detecting the purchase confirmation information fed back by the user for the commodity indication information comprises:

in response to identifying a confirmation key term based on user speech information acquired by a microphone, determining that the purchase confirmation information is detected.

11. The vending machine of claim 7, wherein, detecting the purchase confirmation information fed back by the user for the commodity indication information comprises:

in response to identifying a standard head action based on at least two frames of images of the user captured by a camera, determining that the purchase confirmation information is detected;

wherein the standard head action comprises nodding or blinking.

12. The vending machine of claim 7, wherein, guiding the user to use at least one biological characteristic to finish payment for the expected commodity comprises:

providing payment information corresponding to the expected commodity to the user and indicating the user to input at least two biological characteristics respectively;

acquiring a target payment account corresponding to the at least two biological characteristics, and performing based on the payment information a payment operation matching the target payment account;

wherein the biological characteristic comprises face, voice print, iris and fingerprint.

13. A computer-readable storage medium having a computer program stored thereon, wherein, when the computer program is executed by a processor, the processor performs the method for selling a commodity, comprising:

acquiring an image of eyes of a user, determining based on the image of eyes a gaze point of the user within a commodity displaying plane matching a vending machine;

determining, based on position coordinates of at least two commodities in the commodity displaying plane and the gaze point, an expected commodity corresponding to the user;

providing commodity indication information of the expected commodity to the user; and

in response to detecting purchase confirmation information fed back by the user for the commodity indication information, guiding the user to use at least one biological characteristic to finish payment for the expected commodity.

14. The storage medium of claim 13, wherein, providing the commodity indication information of the expected commodity to the user comprises:

acquiring commodity description information of the expected commodity, constructing based on the commodity description information the commodity indication information; and

providing the commodity indication information to the user via speech broadcasting.

15. The storage medium of claim 13, wherein, providing the commodity indication information of the expected commodity to the user comprises:

determining position recognition information of a state indicator light matching the expected commodity; and

lightening the state indicator light matching the position recognition information to generate the commodity indication information for providing to the user.
