Recently, Wal-Mart submitted the latest application for a patent. The patent shows that Wal-Mart wants to create a home-style shopper’s shopping form so that shopping can be completely farewell to the delivery process. This patent describes a set of tools and systems for “unmanned retail stores” placed directly in the consumer’s home, envisioned to allow consumers to obtain goods from “retail portals” on their own walls.

It may also help Wal-Mart significantly increase its sales of merchandise by encouraging “touch-sensitive” casual shopping in physical retail stores. If the technology is really commercialized in the future, it may work with other current Wal-Mart networking and appliance innovations.

The patent envisages an end-to-end system for unmanned retail stores that can be installed in a consumer’s home. It will be re-purchased through a retail store or delivery service, or purchased through a drone, where the drones are described as “unmanned motorized transport units.” The unmanned storefront itself contains “unsold product display area” and storage area. It is possible that one or both of these areas are refrigerated, which means that food and drink can be stored with other non-perishable goods.

The above functions make use of artificial intelligence techniques to analyze and predict future buying behavior, along with a wide range of smart home or IoT technologies. Rakinda Group, as a professional IoT solution supplier, can provide unmanned retail store solution.
