Abstract:
In one aspect, the present disclosure relates to a method for improved efficiency of an inventory management system. The method can include: performing a first inventory search of inventory data stored in a database using search criteria; receiving, from a beacon sensor, inventory data broadcast from a plurality of beacons; performing a second inventory search by correlating the inventory data broadcast from the plurality of beacons with results of the first inventory search; receiving image data from a camera; performing image classification on the image data to determine one or more class labels for an inventory item within the field-of-view of the camera; performing a third inventory search by correlating the class labels with results of the second inventory search; and presenting results of the third inventory search to a user.

Claim (Index 1):
A method for improved efficiency of an inventory management system, the method comprising:\n receiving, at a user device, one or more inventory search criteria, the inventory search criteria comprising at least a location criterion; prompting, by the user device, a remote server to perform a first inventory search of inventory data stored in a database using the search criteria, the inventory data comprising a location for each of a plurality of inventory items, the first inventory search comprising at least a geospatial search of the stored inventory data using the location criterion; receiving, at the user device from the remote server, a list of search results; automatically detecting, by the user device, that the user device is collocated with a facility associated with the inventory management system; receiving, from a beacon sensor of the user device, inventory data broadcast from a plurality of beacons associated with the facility, each of the beacons being collocated with a corresponding one of the plurality of inventory items; performing a second inventory search by correlating the inventory data broadcast from the plurality of beacons with results of the first inventory search; receiving image data from a camera of the user device, the image data comprising image data for an inventory item within a field-of-view of the camera; performing image classification on the image data to determine one or more class labels for the inventory item within the field-of-view of the camera; performing a third inventory search by correlating the class labels with results of the second inventory search; and presenting, by the user device, results of the third inventory search, the presented information comprising inventory data corresponding to at least one search result from the list of search results retrieved from the database during the first inventory search.
