  • Publication number: 20240312160
    Abstract: An augmented reality application executing on a client device receives video data captured by a camera of the device, in which the video data includes a display area of the device. The application detects a set of items within the display area based on the video data, wherein the set of items is included among an inventory of a warehouse associated with a retailer, and accesses a set of attributes of each item. The application retrieves profile information including a set of preferences associated with a customer of the retailer, matches one or more of the set of preferences with one or more attributes of each item, and generates an augmented reality element based on the matches. The augmented reality element is then displayed, such that it is overlaid onto a portion of the display area based on a location within the display area at which the items are detected.

  • Publication number: 20240177226
    Abstract: A computing platform may receive, from a user device, historical shopping information indicating previously purchased items and/or previous routes within shopping environments for a first user of the user device. The computing platform may input, into a shopping gamification model, the historical shopping information, which may output shopping recommendation information indicating one or more of: recommended items or recommended routes within a first shopping environment. The computing platform may send, to the user device, a shopping gamification interface that includes the shopping recommendation information and one or more commands directing the user device to display the shopping gamification interface. The computing platform may receive, from the user device, user feedback information indicating acceptance or rejection of the shopping recommendation information by the first user. The computing platform may update, based on the user feedback information, the shopping gamification model.

  • Publication number: 20240095342
    Abstract: An automated checkout system aims to detect and disable certain functionalities of an auto-checkout client application if a user exhibits anomalous behavior. The system collects user interaction data to describe the user's interactions with the client device through the application. It then uses a behavior scoring model on the data to generate an anomalous behavior score, indicating the likelihood of anomalous behavior. For instance, if a user scans an item far from its usual location, the score may suggest atypical behavior. The system employs the behavior score to identify functionalities to disable by comparing it to a set of threshold values. Each threshold corresponds to specific auto-checkout application functionalities to be disabled if the behavior score reaches the thresholds. For example, if a threshold is related to identifying items by image capture, the system may disable this feature if the score exceeds the threshold value.

  • Publication number: 20240086927
    Abstract: A device may capture an image of a first machine-readable code, send a request to a server to obtain access to a user application at the device. The device may capture an image of an item offered by a retailer, detect information about the item included in the image of the item, and add the item to a virtual shopping cart. The device may receive payment information for purchasing the item in the virtual shopping cart, and generate a second machine-readable code comprising purchase information of the item. The device may present the second machine-readable code to a verification device for verifying the purchase of the item.

  • Publication number: 20240037630
    Abstract: A wayfinding application executing on a client device receives a current location of the device within a warehouse and accesses a layout of the warehouse describing locations of items included among an inventory of the warehouse. The application identifies a route from the current location to one or more locations within the warehouse associated with one or more target items, generates augmented reality elements including instructions for navigating the route, and sends the elements to a display area of the device. The application detects a location within the warehouse associated with a target item and determines whether the item is at the location based on an image captured by the device. Upon determining it is not at the location, the application alerts a user of the device to a replacement item by generating an augmented reality element that calls attention to it and sending the element to the display area.
