1. An unmanned store product checkout device, the device comprising:
a conveying unit configured to convey products to a user who wants to purchase to scan the products;
a product recognition unit disposed at a first point where a conveyance of the products is started by the conveying unit to recognize the products being placed on the conveying unit to start an operation of the conveying unit;
a scanning unit disposed to be separated from the conveying unit by a preset distance to scan barcodes and images of the products conveyed by the conveying unit;
a weight sensor disposed on a lower side of the conveying unit to measure weights to verify the scanned products;
a processor configured to identify the products using artificial intelligence learning data based on the barcodes and images of the products scanned through the scanning unit and the weights of the products measured through the weight sensor;
a product sorting unit disposed at a second point where the conveyance of the products is ended by the conveying unit to sort the products into a first zone or a second zone based on a result of identifying the products; and
a checkout unit configured to calculate a total price by adding up a first price, which is a sum of prices of the products sorted into the first zone, and a second price, which is a sum of prices of the products sorted into the second zone and checked by an administrator,
wherein the processor is configured to:
identify, when the barcodes are recognized, the products as the scanned products corresponding to identification information included in the barcodes;
acquire, when the barcodes are not recognized, products names and text strings from an image information, and identify the products as the scanned products based on the image information, product names, and text strings using the artificial intelligence learning data;
compare the weights of the products measured using the weight sensor with weight information included in a product information corresponding to the scanned products, and transmit, when the products are verified as the scanned products as a result of comparison, a first signal instructing the scanned products to be sent to the user to the product sorting unit; and
transmit, when the products are not identified as the scanned products or are verified as not the scanned products as the result of comparison, a second signal instructing the products to be sent to the administrator to the product sorting unit.
