Title: System and method for managing retail products
Inventor: Aditya Reddy Cheruku
IPC: G06Q10/08
Filed: 2017-08-18
Abstract: A system and method for monitoring retail products includes: one or more shelf image capturing devices disposed within a retail shopping facility. The one or more shelf image capturing devices capture shelf images of retail store shelves. The captured shelf images have an associated shelf timestamp. A control circuit or computer in communication with the shelf image capturing devices is configured to analyse the captured shelf images by comparing brightness, contrast levels, and luminous intensity at a particular frequency between at least two shelf images of the captured shelf images and the timestamps to determine a rate of shelf product depletion for a particular retail product. A shelf depletion warning regarding a particular retail item is sent to an associate device or a central computer. The image capturing devices may be cameras which may be operable to delete images in which a particular retail shelf is obscured by individuals, track the number of deleted images and report the number of deleted images to the control circuit. The rate of stock depletion in a stockroom can be determined via image analysis of captured stock location images. Can be used to prevent shelf stockout conditions, increasing customer satisfaction and store profits.

Title: Managing feature data for environment mapping on an electronic device
Inventor: ESHA NERURKAR
IPC: G06F17/30
Filed: 2016-08-10
Abstract: An electronic device [100] reduces localization data [230] based on feature characteristics identified from the data [225]. Based on the feature characteristics, a quality value can be assigned to each identified feature [343], indicating the likelihood that the data associated with the feature will be useful in mapping a local environment of the electronic device. The localization data is reduced by removing data associated with features have a low quality value, and the reduced localization data is used to map the local environment of the device [235] by locating features identified from the reduced localization data in a frame of reference for the electronic device.
