The present solution provides a new tool for digitally verifying the use or consumption of a product. The methods and systems disclosed herein allow a consumer to easily verify their purchase of a product without removing a product identifier, such as a universal product code (UPC), from the product packaging and mailing it back to the manufacturer. Using the methods and systems disclosed a user can capture an image or a video of a product being, among other actions, opened. The system then analyzes the image or video to automatically verify the product that was consumed and also verifies that the video or image has not been previously submitted to the system. The system can then provide the manufacturer, or other loyalty system, with a product identification and verification the product was consumed. |
