Patent CA-2705687-A1 (CA)
Inventor: BOTTOM JOSEPH S
IPC: G06Q10/00
Filed: 2010-05-27
Abstract: A system uses elasticity modeling to enable cross category optimization of store display space for merchandise for any group of stores and items using point-of-sale data. A  space elasticity curve is periodically created for each combination of performance metric, store cluster, planogram, and item segment, and is then scaled by individual store. A user can select any combination of stores and planograms, and the system then reconstructs the elasticity curves as individual "synthetic items," which are averaged across the selected stores by creating average synthetic SKU records that reflect the estimated average store performance in each performance metric. The synthetic items are then used to either evaluate macro space performance across or within store areas, or to determine the best use of overall store display space available to permit management to optimally allocate display space for merchandise.

Abstract: Backing up and/or restoring a software application so as to facilitate compatibility checking with a target device prior to application restore is disclosed. At a computer, one or more application modules collectively comprising the software application may be uploaded from a source device. The existence, at the source device, of metadata describing, for each of the application modules: a compatibility of the application module with at least one target device model; and a compatibility of the application module with at least one API version of the target device operating system, may be determined. Depending upon the outcome of the determining, either the metadata is uploaded from the source device or metadata is generated based on an ascertained API version of an operating system and model of the source device. The metadata may then be associated with the uploaded application modules. Upon any restore to the target device, which may differ from the source device, an API version of the target device operating system and target device model may be ascertained. Using the metadata, for each application module, compatibility with the model and API may be verified. If successful, the application modules and metadata may be downloaded to the target device.

Abstract: A method of classifying a dent on a surface of a shipping con-tainer as being in an acceptable or unacceptable classification includes calcu-lating at least one of an acceptable dent depth range corresponding to the ac-ceptable classification and an unacceptable dent depth range corresponding to the unacceptable classification. The method further includes measuring a depth of the dent with a measurement apparatus and comparing the depth with the acceptable and/or unacceptable dent depth ranges to classify the dent in the acceptable or unacceptable classification. The method of classifying the dent on the surface of the shipping container is accurate and repeatable be-cause it includes measuring the depth of the dent and comparing the depth with the acceptable and unacceptable dent depth ranges. The ability to classi-fy dents allows recipients of the shipping containers to consistently accept or reject shipping containers having dents in the acceptable and unacceptable classifications, respectively.
