  • Patent number: 10473748
    Abstract: A laser beam is transmitted from a laser system to a shelving system by pointing the laser beam towards at least one label attached to the shelving system, by a computer system, using angular information of the laser beam relative to a reference frame. An angle between the laser system on the ceiling of the store to the position of the shelving system is determined by the computer system using the position of the laser system and the position of the shelving system. The laser beam is then transmitted from the laser system to the shelving system and pointed using the determined angle between the laser system on the ceiling of the store to the position of the shelving system. The laser is aimed at the x, y location where a label should be displayed, for example, according to the planogram for the store layout. If the label is not detected at the specified location, the discrepancy may be noted, for example, with a visual or other notification.

  • Publication number: 20180322519
    Abstract: A mobile application or website may be provided with a “Coupons” category. With this category, consumers may view all the coupons available for products or services in real time. This feature may be used to compile a shopping list before their trip to a retail store. It will also provide the consumer an option to scan any external coupons, such as paper coupons or coupons and incentives from other sources. All available coupons can be integrated into a single code. Once the single code is scanned at checkout or point of sale, any coupon on the website may be applied to the items that have a matching coupon. If the consumer has manually scanned in external coupons, those coupons are also applied to applicable items.
