Appl. No.:

16/229396

Inventors:

- Oakland MI, US
Thomas HENNEL - South Bend IN, US
Thomas Higginbotham - Fort Wayne IN, US

International Classification:

G16H 40/20
G06K 9/00
G06Q 30/06
G06Q 10/08
G06K 7/14
G06K 7/10

Abstract:

In a computer-implemented method, a computer program product, and a system, at least one processor obtains and decides a signal of decodable indicia to obtain information identifying an object made up of items. The processor obtains data comprising descriptive text characterizing the portion of the object, including quantitative inventory data related to the portion of the object. The processor displays the visual representation as a three dimensional image and the descriptive text, via an AR/VR device, generating a virtual projection in three dimensional space in a range of view of a user utilizing the device. The processor obtains a designation of a region in the visual representation and executes an action that changes a quantitative or a qualitative element of the descriptive text for an item represented by the region. The processor updates the descriptive text in the visual representation, to reflect the change.

International Classification:

G06Q 10/08
G06K 7/10
G06K 19/06
G06K 7/14

Abstract:

A method, system, and computer program product are provided to manage inventory. The method includes: obtaining, by a processor, a signal of decodable indicia; decoding, by the processor, the signal of decodable indicia to access decoded data, where the decoded data includes information identifying an object, where the object includes a plurality of items. Based on the information identifying the object, the processor obtains, from a memory, a visual representation of a portion of the object. The visual representation is divided into a plurality of regions and each region represents an item of the plurality of items. The processor displays the visual representation on a client and obtains a designation of at least one of the plurality of regions. Based on obtaining the designation the processor generates an order request for an item represented by the at least one of the plurality of regions.
