2. The system of claim 1 , wherein the computing server system is configured to determine the transaction information based at least upon the weight of the at least one item and the identifying information of the customer and the at least one item.

3. The system of claim 1 , further comprising a second computing device configured to facilitate a transaction of the at least one item, wherein the computing server system is configured to:

receive a transaction request of the at least one item from the second computing device via the communication network; and

transmit the transaction information to the second computing device in response to the transaction request of the at least one item.

4. The system of claim 1 , wherein the sensor system comprises at least one camera or sensor.

5. The system of claim 4 , wherein the sensor system is configured to generate and transmit at least one signal to activate the computing device when the at least one camera or sensor detects the presence of the customer within the selected area for at least a defined period of time.

6. The system of claim 1 , wherein the computing server system is configured to at least store the weight of the at least one item and the identifying information of the customer and the at least one item.

7. The system of claim 1 , wherein the communication network comprises a cloud computing and communication network.

8. A method, comprising:

tracking, by a sensor system, objects and motions within a selected area of a store;

activating, by the sensor system, a first computing device positioned in the selected area in response to detecting a presence of a customer within the selected area;

identifying, by the sensor system, the customer and at least one item carried by the customer;

transmitting, by the sensor system, identifying information of the customer and the at least one item to a computing server system via a communication network;

measuring, by the first computing device, a weight of the at least one item;

transmitting, by the first computing device, the weight to the computing server system via the communication network; and

generating, by the computing server system, via the communication network, transaction information of the at least one item.

9. The method of claim 8 , further comprising determining, by the computing server system, the transaction information based at least upon the weight of the at least one item and the identifying information of the customer and the at least one item.

10. The method of claim 8 , further comprising:

providing a second computing device within the store to facilitate a transaction of the at least one item;

receiving, by the computing server system, a transaction request of the at least one item from the second computing device via the communication network; and

transmitting, by the computing server system, the transaction information to the second computing device in response to the transaction request of the at least one item.

11. The method of claim 8 , wherein the sensor system comprises at least one camera or sensor.

12. The method of claim 11 , further comprising generating and transmitting, by the sensor system, at least one signal to activate the first computing device in response to detecting, by the at least one camera or sensor, the presence of the customer within the selected area for at least a defined period of time.

13. The method of claim 8 , further comprising storing, by the computing server system, at least the weight of the at least one item and the identifying information of the customer and the at least one item.

14. The method of claim 8 , wherein the communication network comprises a cloud computing and communication network.

15. A non-transitory computer readable medium storing computer executable instructions for a system deployed in a communication network, the instructions being configured for:

tracking, by a sensor system, objects and motions within a selected area of a store;

activating, by the sensor system, a first computing device positioned in the selected area in response to detecting a presence of a customer within the selected area;

identifying, by the sensor system, the customer and at least one item carried by the customer;

transmitting, by the sensor system, identifying information of the customer and the at least one item to a computing server system via a communication network;

measuring, by the first computing device, a weight of the at least one item;

transmitting, by the first computing device, the weight to the computing server system via the communication network; and

generating, by the computing server system, via the communication network, transaction information of the at least one item.

16. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 15 , further comprising instructions configured for:

deploying a second computing device within the store to facilitate a transaction of the at least one item;

determining, by the computing server system, the transaction information based at least upon the weight of the at least one item and the identifying information of the customer and the at least one item;

receiving, by the computing server system, a transaction request of the at least one item from the second computing device via the communication network; and

transmitting, by the computing server system, the transaction information to the second computing device in response to the transaction request of the at least one item.

17. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 15 , wherein the sensor system comprises at least one wireless camera or sensor.

18. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 15 , further comprising instructions for generating and transmitting, by the sensor system, at least one signal to activate the first computing device in response to detecting, by the at least one camera or sensor, the presence of the customer within the selected area for at least a defined period of time.

19. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 15 , further comprising instructions for storing, by the computing server system, at least the weight of the at least one item and the identifying information of the customer and the at least one item.
