  • Publication number: 20230169567
    Abstract: An assortment planning method, an assortment planning system and a processing apparatus thereof for a smart store are provided. The assortment planning system includes at least one tracking apparatus, a plurality of detecting apparatuses, and a processing apparatus. The tracking apparatus is used to identify a plurality of consumer tracks. The detecting apparatuses are used to detect a plurality of consumer interactive behaviors of a plurality of products. The processing apparatus includes a binding device, an intention analyzing device and an estimating device. The binding device is used to bind the consumer interactive behaviors with the consumer tracks to obtain a number of interactive behavior time sequence records. The intention analyzing device is used to obtain a plurality of consumption intentions for the products according to the interactive behavior time sequence records. The estimating device is used to estimate a best product combination according to the consumption intentions.

  • Patent number: 11561323
    Abstract: An intelligent storage device and an intelligent storage method are provided. The intelligent storage device includes a storage space, an infrared sensor, a weight sensor, a transceiver, and a processor. The storage space is suitable for storing an object. The infrared sensor senses the storage space to generate infrared sensing data. The weight sensor senses the object in the storage space to generate weight sensing data. The processor is coupled to the infrared sensor, the weight sensor, and the transceiver, determines whether the object is placed in or removed from the storage space according to the infrared sensing data and the weight sensing data to generate an event record, and transmits the event record via the transceiver.

  • Patent number: 11551289
    Abstract: An intelligent store system and an intelligent store method are provided. The method includes: sensing, by a proximity sensor, whether there is a first customer approaching the proximity sensor; sensing, by an image sensor, a movement trajectory of the first customer; and determining whether the first customer is entering or leaving a store in response to the first customer approaching the proximity sensor sensed by the proximity sensor. If the first customer is entering the store, a first virtual identity and a first virtual shopping cart corresponding to the first virtual identity are generated for the first customer, and a first product list of the first virtual shopping cart is updated according to the movement trajectory. If the first customer is leaving the store, a first operation of the first customer is received by a human machine interface, and the first product list according to the first operation is updated.

  • Publication number: 20140101162
    Abstract: A method for recommending semantic annotations on a main document and sub documents is provided. The method includes: extracting a keyword of the main document; extracting a or a set of keyword of each sub document; and generating a or a set of keyword similarity of each of the sub documents based on a degree of similarity between the keyword of the main document and the keyword of each of the sub documents. The method also includes: obtaining a plurality of words appeared on each of the sub documents and calculating a frequency of each of the words; generating a semantic capacity of each of the sub documents according to the frequencies; grouping the main document and at least one of the sub documents into a semantic document set based on the semantic capacities and the keyword similarities; and annotating the main document according to the semantic document set.
