Patent number: 10776844Abstract: Method, computer program product, and system to provide assistance to at least a first person during a transaction within an environment having a plurality of items. The method includes identifying the first person within the environment, and analyzing acquired image information to determine at least one item interaction of the transaction and thereby associate the identified first person with the transaction. The method further includes determining whether the first person is associated with a personal profile that includes information related to the environment, the information including at least one of personal preferences and personal historical data reflecting one or more previous transactions of the first person. When the first person is determined to be associated with a personal profile, the method further includes determining, based on the information in the personal profile, an amount of assistance to provide to the first person during the transaction.Type: GrantFiled: March 31, 2015Date of Patent: September 15, 2020Assignee: Toshiba Global Commerce SolutionsInventors: Dean Frederick Herring, Brad Matthew Johnson, Adrian Xavier Rodriguez, Jeffrey John Smith, Kathleen Wahrer
