ITEM INFORMATION ACQUISITION SYSTEM, SHOPPING ASSISTANCE SYSTEM, SHOPPING ASSISTANCE METHOD, AND CARRIER

摘要

An item information acquisition system includes a carrier and an acquirer. The carrier includes a placement section, a projection, and an image capturing section. The placement section includes a placement surface on which an item as a carriage target is to be placed. The projection protrudes from the placement section in a direction transverse to the placement surface. The image capturing section is held by the projection and has an image capturing range corresponding to at least the placement surface. The image capturing section is disposed spaced away from an entire perimeter of a peripheral edge of the placement section when viewed in a direction orthogonal to the placement surface. The acquirer is configured to identify, based on the image captured by the image capturing section, the item placed on the placement surface and acquiring item information on the item.
