1. An intelligent shelf management system, comprising:
an operating and display device including at least an input module, an output module, and a display module, the display module being connected to the input module and the output module, wherein a user inputs a demand for goods upon entering a retail establishment via the input module, and the input module having at least one of a touch interface and a voice-operated interface and being configured to adaptively format the display module to display the demand for goods input by a corresponding user;
an information module subsystem electrically connected to the operating and display device and including a database of goods and an analysis module that is configured to receive the demand for goods input by a corresponding user, wherein the database of goods includes product information of a plurality of goods sold at the retail establishment and located on respective shelves thereat, and wherein the analysis module is an artificial intelligence processor that is built using deep learning and that is configured to analyze the demand for goods input by a corresponding user applying association rules by comparing the demand for goods with the product information of the plurality of goods in the database of goods for adaptively selecting at least one good of the plurality of goods whose product information is most closely matched with the demand for goods;
a content management subsystem electrically connected to the information module subsystem and being configured to receive the product information of the at least one good adaptively selected by the analysis module;
a point-of-sale subsystem electrically connected to the information module subsystem and the content management subsystem, the point-of-sale subsystem including sales-related information of each of the plurality of goods sold at the retail establishment, wherein the sales-related information of each of the plurality of goods includes at least real-time position information, updated pricing information, and stock inventory information, of a corresponding good;
wherein the content management subsystem is configured to compare the product information of the at least one good adaptively selected by the analysis module with the sales-related information of the plurality of goods for adaptively selecting a good from the plurality of goods whose sales-related information is most closely matched with the product information of the plurality of goods for being transmitted to the output module of the operating and display device, and wherein the output module is configured to adaptively format the display module to display the sales-related information of the good adaptively selected by the content management subsystem; and
a camera recognition subsystem electrically connected at least to the information module subsystem and including a plurality of image capture devices and an image recognition module, wherein each of the plurality of image capture devices is provided with a unique identification number and is configured to capture a plurality of images in real-time of a corresponding section of the retail establishment and transmit the plurality of images to the image recognition module, wherein the image recognition module is an artificial intelligence processor that is built using deep learning and that is configured to apply recognition rules for identifying a plurality of goods and recognizing a respective shelf location of a corresponding good from an image of the plurality of images containing representations of multiple goods to thereby generate a recognition result for each of the plurality of goods, each recognition result including identifying information of a respective good and recognition information of a corresponding shelf location of the respective good and each recognition result and the unique identification number of a corresponding image capture device being transmitted to the information module subsystem, the information module subsystem integrating each recognition result and the unique identification number of a corresponding image capture device to identify a location of a respective shelf in the retail establishment to thereby generate the real-time position information of a corresponding good in the retail establishment, and the information module subsystem transmitting the real-time position information for each of the plurality of goods sold at the retail establishment to the point-of-sale subsystem for inclusion of the real-time position information of a respective good from the plurality of goods with the sales-related information of the corresponding good.
