Abstract: Dynamically generating a uniquely customized wall art hanging template to help a user hang one or more items of customized wall art as they appear in an electronic display based on the user's selections and product customizations. A user customizes an electronically generated layout of items of art resulting in curated layout of customized items that can be purchased and hung on a wall in accordance with a corresponding customized wall art template. To aid in the accurate hanging of items a uniquely generated wall art template includes customized outlines of each item of art together with customized marks that locate the proper positions for hanging each item to match the appearance of the curated layout in the electronic display. The customized outlines can include outlines of reference points in the room that help the user locate the proper positions for hanging each item to match the appearance of the curated layout in the electronic display.

Abstract: Embodiments relate to customer assistance request systems and methods. A customer assistance request system generally includes at least one customer assistance kiosk including a radio frequency identification (RFID) tag, an RFID reader and a communication system. The RFID reader is configured to read the RFID tag number when a customer assistance kiosk is in an open configuration and the RFID tag is exposed. The communication system is configured to receive the read RFID tag number and issue a notification including the location of the at least one customer assistance kiosk.

Abstract: Embodiments relate to systems and methods for managing an autonomous robot in a retail environment. A system for managing an autonomous robot in a retail environment generally includes an external vendor robot task request system, a retailer robot task scheduling system, and an autonomous robot located in the retail environment. The retailer robot task scheduling system receives an external vendor robot task request from the external vendor robot task request system, combines the external vendor robot task request and an internal retailer-defined task into a robot task list, and communicates the robot task list to the autonomous robot.

Abstract: These teachings generally comprise interrogating RFID tags and receiving corresponding responses from various ones of these RFID tags while also receiving, from a remote source, surrogate response corresponding to at least some of the plurality of RFID tags that are not responding to the current interrogation. A corresponding plurality of end user-perceivable indications as correspond to both the responses from various ones of the plurality of RFID tags and the aforementioned surrogate responses are then provided to thereby ultimately inform an end user of the RFID tag reader with respect to a corresponding reading state as regards the plurality of RFID tags.

Abstract: Methodologies, systems, and computer-readable media are provided for generating routes for relocating objects. A computational device retrieves from a database object relocation data and relocation capacity data for each of a plurality of objects identified by an electronic scanning device at a first geographical location. The objects at the first geographical location are intended for relocation, and the object relocation data indicates possible geographical locations for receiving each of the objects. The relocation capacity data indicates an available capacity for each of the possible geographical locations. The computational device computes a relocation destination for each of those objects based on the relocation capacity data of each of the possible geographical locations.

Abstract: Methodologies, systems, and computer-readable media are provided for generating fuel authorization commands. An electronic scanning device can receive identification data corresponding to a user, and a server can associate the identification information with a user's account. The server can retrieve customized data indicating a specified monetary value of fuel to be purchased by the user. The user can access the account and set a desired monetary value and other customized automotive data. The server can request authorization of the specified monetary value and, if authorization is received, generate and transmit a fuel authorization command to a service station fuel pump to allow the user to dispense fuel.

Abstract: Methodologies, systems, and computer-readable media are provided for generating automotive work orders. An electronic scanning device can receive vehicle identification data corresponding to a user, and a server can associate the identification information with a user's account. The server can retrieve customized data relating to the user's vehicle service history and service preferences. The server can automatically generate a work order to initiate automotive services based on the vehicle service data saved in the user's account.

Abstract: A system and method of determining the location of a RFID reader is disclosed. The system comprises a first RFID reader, and at least one other RFID reader, and a processor. The RFID readers associate unique RFID tag information with at least one antenna that reads the information. The processor receives RFID data from the first RFID reader and the at least one other RFID reader and determines the location of the first RFID reader relative to the at least one other RFID reader based on the association of unique RFID tag information with at least one antenna of at least two readers.
