Patent number: 8856146Abstract: The invention concerns a method of determining, by an electronic processing device coupled to the internet, a score (Si) indicating the amount of internet activity associated with a subject, the method comprising: receiving one or more search terms relating to said subject, and initiating a search via the internet for items of digital content relating to said one or more search terms; identifying from results of said search a plurality of items of digital content; for each of said plurality of items of digital content, requesting, from at least one digital content sharing site (412, 414), activity data indicating at least the number of times said item of media content has been accessed; and calculating said score based on the activity data for each of said plurality of items of digital content.Type: GrantFiled: July 11, 2011Date of Patent: October 7, 2014Assignee: Accenture Global Services LimitedInventors: Kelly L. Dempski, Alexandre Naressi, Fredrik Linaker, Robert Groenevelt

Publication number: 20140129395Abstract: Image analysis techniques, including object recognition analysis, are applied to images obtained by one or more image capture devices deployed within inventory environments. The object recognition analysis provides object recognition data (that may include one or more recognized product instances) based on stored product (training) images. In turn, a variety of functionalities may be enabled based on the object recognition data. For example, a planogram may be extracted and compared to a target planogram, or at least one product display parameter for a product can be determined and used to assess presence of the product within the inventory environment, or to determine compliance of display of the product with a promotional objective. In yet another embodiment, comparisons may be made within a single image or between multiple images over time to detect potential conditions requiring response. In this manner, efficiency and effectiveness of many previously manually-implemented tasks may be improved.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 13, 2014Publication date: May 8, 2014Applicant: ACCENTURE GLOBAL SERVICES LIMITEDInventors: Robert Bernard GROENOVELT, Agata Opalach, Andrew Fano, Fredrik Linaker
