International Classification:

G06K 9/62
G06K 9/00

Abstract:

The present disclosure provides techniques for data curation and image evaluation. A first image is captured, and a first indication of a first item is received. A first identifier of the first item is then identified based on the first indication. Further, based on the first indication, it is determined that the first image depicts the first item. The first image is labeled with the first identifier, and a machine learning (ML) model of an ML system is trained based on the labeled first image.

International Classification:

G06Q 30/06
G06K 9/00

Abstract:

A network node associated with a retail store receives digital images from customers who have initiated a customer transaction at a first location. The digital images are unique and are associated with the transaction. The transaction is then temporarily suspended. To resume the transaction, the customer provides information describing features of the previously provided digital image. The network node uses this information to locate the corresponding digital image, and thus, the corresponding suspended transaction, and to authenticate the customer to resume the transaction. Provided the customer is authenticated, the node resumes the suspended transaction.

International Classification:

H04L 12/24

Abstract:

Techniques for configuration management are provided. A plurality of configurations is received, where each of the plurality of configurations corresponds to a respective service and is associated with a first plan. The plurality of configurations is stored, in association with the first plan, without implementing the plurality of configurations. Upon receiving approval of the first plan, the first plan is implemented by, for each respective configuration of the plurality of configurations: identifying a respective corresponding service for the respective configuration and modifying a configuration of the respective corresponding service based on the respective configuration. Upon completing implementation of the first plan, each of the plurality of configurations is labeled with a production identifier.

Abstract:

A price verification system for efficient verification of a transaction price when the price is disputed or missing is described. The price verification system uses current images of the item location within a retail environment to determine a shelf price for the item. The shelf price is compared to the price registered a point of sale terminal and displayed to the customer in order to determine if a price adjustment is needed.

International Classification:

G06F 9/48
G06Q 30/06

Abstract:

Method, computer program product, and system to prioritize the execution of processing task requests in a task request queue, where the processing task requests are related to an environment. The method includes adding processing task requests to a task request queue in response to the detection of predefined actions in an environment. The method also includes adding additional processing task requests or adjusting a priority level of not yet completed task requests in the task request queue, in response to detecting subsequent predefined actions in the environment.

Abstract:

Systems and methods for managing the processing of information acquired by sensors within an environment are disclosed herein. According to an aspect, a system includes multiple sensors configured to acquire information about an environment. The system may also include computing devices that are each operatively connected to a respective one of the sensors. Further, each computing device may be configured to determine an object and/or action within the environment based on the acquired information. The system may include a processing manager configured to determine whether a first computing device among the plurality of computing devices does not have predetermined resource availability for determining the object and/or action. The processing manager may control the first computing device to communicate the information to a second computing device for determining the one of the object and action in response to determining that the first computing device does not have the predetermined resource availability.
