  • Patent number: 11587029
    Abstract: A method for product compliance includes receiving, at data processing hardware, a planogram defining a representative placement of a product on a display shelf and receiving at least one image from an imaging device having a field of view arranged to capture a top surface of the display shelf. The method also includes determining whether the product is disposed on the display shelf based on the at least one image. When the product is disposed on the display shelf, the method includes determining an actual placement of the product on the display shelf and comparing the actual placement of the product to the representative placement of the product defined by the planogram. The method further includes determining a planogram compliance based on the comparison of the actual placement of the product to the representative placement of the product and communicating the planogram compliance to a network.

  • Publication number: 20180150872
    Abstract: This system is a set of newsstands connected to cloud-based servers. Each newsstand has at least one monitor. The servers deliver advertisements to the newsstands, which in turn schedule and display these advertisements. The newsstands are equipped with wireless signal sniffers, which record the number and duration of wireless signals generated by a smartphone or tablet within range of the stands. The newsstands send their advertising schedules and signal records to the cloud-based servers, and these servers process the data to determine the number of unique and repeat viewers of each advertisement.
