Publication number: 20230252760Abstract: A single item image is captured of an item situated within a given zone of a transaction area is captured, each different zone for each given item is associated a plurality of single item images captured by different cameras at different angles and perspectives of the transaction area. The single item images are passed to an existing segmentation Machine-Learning Model (MLM) and accurate masks for the items produced by the existing MLM are retained. A background image of an empty transaction area is obtained, each retained single item image is cropped and superimposed into the background image with one or more different cropped and superimposed singe item images creating a composite multi-item image. The composite multi-item images are labeled to identify the boundaries of each single item image and the existing segmentation MLM is trained on the composite multi-item and labeled images producing an enhanced segmentation MLM.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 26, 2022Publication date: August 10, 2023Inventors: Stefan Bjelcevic, Hunter Blake Wilson Germundsen, Christian Lee McDaniel, Brent Vance Zucker

Publication number: 20230252444Abstract: An apparatus is provided that executes instructions to move an item within a scan zone to specific X-Y coordinates of the scan zone. The item is placed on a platform and is rotated 360 degrees at each X-Y coordinate within the scan zone. Item images are captured by cameras at each X-Y coordinate and for each rotation at the corresponding X-Y coordinate. The item images are labeled and retained. The item images are used as input to a Machine-Learning Model (MLM) to train the MLM to recognize item codes for the items when subsequent images are captured for the item during a checkout. In an embodiment, during a checkout unknown item images are flagged and labeled with the corresponding item code when the corresponding item's barcode is scanned during the checkout; the labeled item images are also retailed for training the MLM for item recognition.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 29, 2022Publication date: August 10, 2023Inventors: Stefan BJELCEVIC, Hunter Blake Wilson GERMUNDSEN, Catherine LEE, Christian Lee MCDANIEL, Brent Vance ZUCKER

Patent number: 8792860Abstract: A method of providing certificate issuance and revocation checks involving mobile devices in a mobile ad-hoc network (MANET). The wireless devices communicate with each other via Bluetooth wireless technology in the MANET, with an access point (AP) to provide connectivity to the Internet. A Certificate authority (CA) distributes certificates and certification revocation lists (CRLs) to the devices via the access point (AP). Each group of devices has the name of the group associated with the certificate and signed by the CA. A device that is out of the radio range of the access point may still connect to the CA to validate a certificate or download the appropriate CRL by having all the devices participate in the MANET.Type: GrantFiled: September 14, 2012Date of Patent: July 29, 2014Assignee: Certicom Corp.Inventors: William Daniel Willey, Simon Blake-Wilson

Patent number: 8554836Abstract: In general, this disclosure describes techniques for providing a mechanism to manage referrals for applications shared over a social network service when granted permission by users of the social network service. For example, a server system receives a message including user association information and an indication of a software application, and publishes a post to a subset of users as indicated by the user association information. The server system also receives a request for a version of the software application from a second user and determines whether the post was re-shared by a third user. If the post was re-shared, the server system stores in a database of the computing system, a referral association between the third user, the second user, and the software application. If the post was not re-shared, the server system stores a referral association between the first user, the second user, and the software application.Type: GrantFiled: June 4, 2012Date of Patent: October 8, 2013Assignee: Google Inc.Inventors: Thomas Blake Wilson, Haruyoshi Sakai
