Patent number: 12347128Abstract: Techniques for volumetric assessment of a product based on images captured by a bi-optic scanner are disclosed herein. An example system includes a first imaging assembly, having a field of view of a product scanning region, configured to capture a first image of an item passing through the product scanning region; a second imaging assembly, having an orthogonal field of view, configured to capture a second image of the item passing through the product scanning region at the same time; processors; and a memory storing instructions that, when executed, cause the processors to: determine a first distance of the item from an edge of the first field of view based on the first image; determine a second distance of the item from the a corresponding edge of the second field of view based on the second image; and generate an estimated volume of the item based on the first image, the first distance, the second image, and the second distance.Type: GrantFiled: September 30, 2022Date of Patent: July 1, 2025Assignee: Zebra Technologies CorporationInventors: Sajan Wilfred, John Britts, David R.

Patent number: 11210488Abstract: Methods for optimizing improper product barcode detection are disclosed herein. An example method, includes analyzing an object-based identification data against an indicia-based identification data to determine if there is a match. Responsive to there not being a match, entering a release condition state, where, instead of automatically sending a failed match signal to a symbology reader, a remote server awaits satisfaction of the release condition, before sending to the symbology reader. In some examples, a release condition is automatically satisfied by identifying a match in a subsequent comparison. In some examples, a user of the remote server is to satisfy the release condition.Type: GrantFiled: November 27, 2019Date of Patent: December 28, 2021Assignee: Zebra Technologies CorporationInventors: Christopher J. Fjellstad, David R. Turturro

Patent number: 10249160Abstract: Successive products associated with targets to be electro-optically read are swiped, in their respective turns, past a window in a point-of-transaction workstation. A motion detector detects movement of each product. A reader electro-optically reads a target associated with each moving product. If the target associated with each moving product has not been read, then this event is deemed suspicious, and the event is flagged for a security investigation designed to deter product theft by sweethearting.Type: GrantFiled: November 28, 2016Date of Patent: April 2, 2019Assignee: Symbol Technologies, LLCInventors: Robert J. Pang, Christopher J. Fjellstad, Thomas Lackemann, John E. Britts, David R. Turturro
