Patent number: 11521234Abstract: Adaptive system for communicating with a customer in a retail store environment includes a sensor disposed at a sensor location in a retail environment. The sensor location is selected so that the sensor captures information that facilitates identification of at least one trait associated with a customer located proximate to the sensor location. A processing system is configured to use the information to determine the at least one trait. Thereafter, in response to such determination, the processing system selectively determines a message or content selection to be displayed to the customer based at least in part on the at least one trait that has been identified.Type: GrantFiled: November 30, 2020Date of Patent: December 6, 2022Assignee: Sensormatic Electronics, LLCInventors: Gilbert Fernandez, Sergio M. Perez, Dario Passadore, Craig R. Szklany

Patent number: 11461810Abstract: An EAS pedestal system includes a video display device and a video camera supported on an EAS pedestal housing. The video camera is oriented to facilitate capture of video images. The video images include facial images associated with a plurality of human faces under conditions where the human faces are positioned to observe the video display device. The system applies an analytical process to determine when an imaged human face is looking toward the video display device. The system then determines one or more human demographic traits based on the facial images and adaptively selects advertising content to be displayed based on information derived from the analytical process.Type: GrantFiled: September 30, 2019Date of Patent: October 4, 2022Assignee: Sensormatic Electronics, LLCInventors: Gilbert Fernandez, Sergio M. Perez, Subramanian Kunchithapatham

Patent number: 8264350Abstract: A security system includes a security device and a spacer. The security device defines a first opening having a first diameter. The spacer is removably positionable in the first opening to create a center opening having a second diameter smaller than the first diameter. The security device includes a magnetically actuable locking mechanism and a housing having the magnetically actuable locking mechanism disposed therein. The locking mechanism includes a magnetically actuable latch, a belt configured to provide a latch mating element for the latch, and a flexible element to bias the magnetically actuable latch and the belt into a locked position. The housing includes a passageway which defines a belt pathway configured to slidingly receive the belt therein.Type: GrantFiled: July 29, 2008Date of Patent: September 11, 2012Assignee: Sensormatic Electronics, LLCInventors: Sergio M.
