Abstract:
An inventory verification device (“IVD”) provides automatic inventory verification and detection of inventory discrepancies. The IVD automatically verifies the quantity of items in a container based on weight and/or height measurements obtained for the items in the container using two or more sensors of the IVD. The IVD may also automatically updated tracked inventory of an item based on detected changes to the weight and/or height of the items in the container as a result of a worker adding items to the container or removing items from the container without the working providing confirmation for each addition and/or removal. The IVD automatically verifies whether correct items are stored in a container by performing feature matching of various characteristics for items imaged in the container against expected characteristics for items that should be stored in the container.

Claim (Index 21):
A system comprising:\n a memory mapping different container identifiers to different containers, wherein each container of the different containers is associated with a last tracked quantity and characteristics for at least one item in the container; a platform; a first sensor reading a particular container identifier from a particular container placed on the platform; a second sensor measuring a weight of the particular container placed on the platform; a third sensor capturing at least one image of items in the particular container placed on the platform; a scanner associated with a worker, the scanner providing a signal, that adjusts the last tracked quantity associated with the particular container, in response to each item that is scanned upon removal or addition to the particular container; and one or more processors:\n detecting an inventory discrepancy in response to (i) the last tracked quantity mapped to the particular identifier deviating by a first threshold from a measured quantity derived from the weight, or (ii) the characteristics mapped to the particular identifier deviating by a second threshold from characteristics of the items captured in the at least one image.
