Claim 9:
10. A method, comprising:
receiving and transmitting, by at least one processor, to a server computing device, a first weight of each of at least one item in a bin comprising weight information at a first time from at least one sensor device;
receiving, by a bin detector, a first request to access the bin, the first request comprising an item removal having a first event comprising an item identifier of each of the at least one item, a user identifier, a bin identifier, and the weight information at the first time;
associating, by the at least one processor, the first weight and the item identifier for each of the at least one item into a first information payload and transmitting, by the bin detector, the first information payload to the server computing device, the server computing device further associating concurrent user information from a storage area detector and updating a status for each of the at least one item as checked out by a detected user having the user identifier;
receiving, by the bin detector, a second request to access the bin, the second request comprising an item return having a second event comprising the item identifier for each of the at least one item, the user identifier, and the bin identifier;
receiving, by the at least one processor, a second weight of each of the at least one item comprising the weight information a second time from the at least one sensor device;
associating, by the at least one processor, the second weight and the item identifier for each of the at least one item into a second information payload and transmitting, by the bin detector, the second information payload to the server computing device, the server computing device further associating concurrent user information from the storage area detector;
determining, by the server computing device, a difference in the weight information at the first time and the weight information at the second time for each of the at least one item; and determining, by the server computing device, updated weight information for each of the at least one item based on the difference in the weight information at the first time and the weight information at the second time and storing the updated weight information in a database and updating a status, amount, and bin location of each of the at least one item in an automated inventory application.
