Abstract:
Methods and apparatuses are provided for use in monitoring product placement within a shopping facility. Some embodiments provide an apparatus configured to determine product placement conditions within a shopping facility, comprising: a transceiver configured to wirelessly receive communications; a product monitoring control circuit coupled with the transceiver; a memory coupled with the control circuit and storing computer instructions that when executed by the control circuit cause the control circuit to: obtain a composite three-dimensional (3D) scan mapping corresponding to at least a select area of the shopping facility and based on a series of 3D scan data; evaluate the 3D scan mapping to identify multiple product depth distances; and identify, from the evaluation of the 3D scan mapping, when one or more of the multiple product depth distances is greater than a predefined depth distance threshold from the reference offset distance of the product support structure.

Claim (Index 4):
The retail system of  claim 1 , wherein the control circuit is further configured to:\n identify when one or more of the items detected through the 3D scan mapping and within the select area are different than the first product intended to be positioned within the select area; and cause a notification to be communicated notifying a shopping facility associate that at least one item of at least a second product is incorrectly placed within the select area.
