International Classification:

G06Q 10/08
G06Q 10/06

Abstract:

A computer-implemented method includes: obtaining ideal delivery conditions associated with one or more food products; accumulating sensor data associated with a first food product, wherein the sensor data is obtained by at least one sensor which is coupled to a product container containing the first food product; analyzing the sensor data obtained by the at least one sensor associated with the first food product; identifying condition data associated with conditions in the product container containing the first food product; generating a food product history for the first food product including the condition data; comparing the food product history to the ideal delivery conditions for analyzing performance of entities involved in delivery of the first food product from an origin to a destination using at least the food product history, the condition data, and the ideal delivery conditions; and generating a report of results of the analysis.

Appl. No.:

16/360905

Inventors:

- San Jose CA, US
Thomas Reese - Ellicott City MD, US

International Classification:

G06Q 10/06
G06Q 10/08

Abstract:

A computer-implemented method for managing a product delivery process, according to one embodiment, includes receiving an actual Intelligent Routing (IR) code for a good, the good being a perishable food product. A target IR code for each of at least two receivers is also received. The actual IR code for the good is compared to the target IR codes for each of the at least two receivers. Based on the comparison of the actual IR code for the good to the target IR codes for each of the at least two receivers, a determination as to which receiver of the at least two receivers will receive the good, and the result is output. The actual IR code is updated based on sensor data received from a sensor coupled to the good, and recompared to the target IR codes for each of the at least two receivers.

Inventors:

- San Jose CA, US
Thomas C. Reese - Ellicott City MD, US

International Classification:

G06K 9/46
G06Q 10/08

Abstract:

A computer-implemented method for routing a food product using an image of the food product, according to one embodiment, includes receiving an image of a food product, receiving an environmental condition on or near the food product, evaluating the food product using the image and the environmental condition, and determining a delivery destination for the food product based at least in part on the evaluation of the food product.

Inventors:

- San Jose CA, US
Thomas C. Reese - Ellicott City MD, US

International Classification:

G06K 9/46
G06Q 10/08

Abstract:

A system for routing a food product using an image of the food product, according to one embodiment, includes a processor and logic integrated with and/or executable by the processor. The logic is configured to cause the processor to receive an image of a food product, receive an environmental condition on or near the food product. evaluate the food product using the image and the environmental condition and determine a delivery destination for the food product based at least in part on the evaluation of the food product.

Inventors:

- San Jose CA, US
Thomas C. Reese - Ellicott City MD, US

International Classification:

G06K 9/46
G06Q 10/08

Abstract:

A computer-implemented method for evaluating a food product using images of the food product, according to one embodiment, includes receiving images of a food product taken at different points of a supply chain of the food product. An environmental condition near or on the food product at at least some of the different points of the supply chain is also received. Photo analytics are performed on the images to interpret the images and changes over time of the food product included in the images. The food product is evaluated using the image interpretations and the environmental conditions for determining a characteristic of the food product selected from the group of characteristics consisting of: a quality of the food product and a remaining shelf life of the food product. An action is taken based at least in part on the evaluation of the food product.

International Classification:

G06K 9/46
G06Q 10/08

Abstract:

A computer-implemented method for routing a food product using images of the food product, according to one embodiment, includes receiving images of a food product taken at different points of a supply chain of the food product. An environmental condition on and/or near the food product at at least some of the different points of the supply chain is also received. The environmental condition includes at least temperature. Photo analytics are performed on the images to interpret the images. The food product is evaluated using interpretations of the image and the environmental conditions for determining a characteristic of the food product selected from the group of characteristics consisting of: a quality of the food product and a shelf life of the food product. A delivery destination for the food product is determined based at least in part on the evaluation of the food product.

International Classification:

G06Q 10/06
G06Q 10/08

Abstract:

A computer-implemented method for managing a product delivery process, according to one embodiment, includes receiving an actual Intelligent Routing (IR) code for each good of a plurality of goods of the same type. A target IR code for each of at least two receivers is also received. The actual IR code for each of the goods is compared to the target IR codes for each of the at least two receivers. Based on the comparison of the actual IR codes for the plurality of goods to the target IR codes for each of the at least two receivers, a determination is made as to which receiver of the at least two receivers will receive which good of the plurality of goods. A result of the determination is output.
