Abstract: In some embodiments, apparatuses and methods are provided herein useful to updating inventory of products. In some embodiments, there is provided a system for updating inventory of products including a database; at least one image capture device; and a control circuit. The control circuit is configured to: process an image by: detecting units of one or more products in the image; grouping each detected unit into one or more clusters based on at least one of textual similarities, visual similarities, geometrical similarities, or relative spatial distance; detecting a product identifier for each cluster; identifying a product corresponding to the detected product identifier of each cluster; and counting the detected units associated with each cluster. The control circuit is configured to cause an update to the inventory of products in the database based on the counted detected units of each cluster.

Abstract: Systems and methods of monitoring inventory of a product storage facility include an image capture device configured to move about the product storage areas of the product storage facility and capture images of the product storage areas from various angles. A computing device coupled to the image capture device obtains the images of the product storage areas captured by the image capture device and processes the obtained images of the product storage areas to detect individual products captured in the obtained images. Based on detection of the individual products captured in the images, the computing device analyzes each of the obtained images to extract meta data from the packaging the individual products to detect one more keywords and determine the locations of the detected keywords on the packaging, and then utilize this information to predict an identity of the products associated with the packaging.

Abstract: Devices, methods, and systems for voice control of components of a facility are described herein. One computing device apparatus includes a memory, and a processor configured to execute executable instructions stored in the memory to receive a voice command or voice query from a user, determine location context information associated with the computing device, and determine which component or components of the facility are associated with the voice command or voice query based, at least in part, on the location context information associated with the computing device.

Abstract: A device includes an anchor node configured for placement in a space containing an asset having an asset radio. An anchor node radio is supported by the anchor node. An attenuator is coupled to the anchor node radio to provide a distinctive fingerprint signature of transmissions from the anchor node radio within the space. The distinctive fingerprint is receivable by the asset radio to determine a location of the asset within the space.

Abstract: A method includes receiving sound from an area being monitored by a video surveillance system having a camera and microphone, analyzing the sound to determine a classification of the sound, and capturing video of the area being monitored responsive to the classification of the sound.

Abstract: A method, system and apparatus are provided for measuring the quality of voice (QOV) in a communication network. A time-stamped voice data packet is received. The time stamped on the voice data packet indicates the time at which the voice data packet arrives at intermediate devices. In an embodiment of the invention, the intermediate devices at each hop stamp the time. Thereafter, the voice data packets are analyzed to measure the quality of voice in the communication network.
