Abstract: A transaction is detected on a terminal. A context for an association of items, bags, shelving, carts, and individuals present during the transaction is maintained from images captured during the transaction. Rules are processed to determine actions to process during the transaction and/or after the transaction based on reported transaction details, the context, and analytics derived from the images for the context. In an embodiment, at least one rule identifies an action that overrides an attendant intervention at the terminal, which would have been issued for a detected weight discrepancy by a scale of the terminal.

Abstract: A high-velocity scanned item distribution apparatus and method are presented. The high-velocity scanned item distribution apparatus permits bagging operations for multiple purchase transactions to occur in parallel. Overlapping the bagging operation of multiple purchase transactions allows the scanning and payment operations of the purchase transactions to continue at higher speeds. In addition, point of sale terminals with high-velocity item scanners are allowed to function at higher speeds.

Abstract: Various methods are described for facilitating in-aisle scanning of one or more items to be purchased at a store. One example method may comprise scanning a barcode associated with an item. The method may further comprise adding the item to a list of items to be purchased. Additionally, the method may comprise receiving an indication that the item needs to be weighed. The method may further comprise flagging the item in the list to be weighed during checkout. Similar and related methods, apparatuses, and computer program products are also provided.

Abstract: A system for processing articles selected for purchase and bearing an identification code, comprises a code reader for generating output signals indicative of the article identification codes, a first storage unit for storage, for each of the articles, of a signal indicative of a price for the article correlated with the article identification, a second storage unit selectively operable for temporary storage of a signal indicative of a price for an article selected for purchase correlated with the article identification, and a control unit operable on receipt of the code reader output signals for fetching the price-indicative signal from the first storage unit, selectively operable on failure of the price fetching from the first storage unit for accepting operator input of a price-indicative signal for the article and storing the operator input signal in the second storage unit, and for fetching the price-indicative signal for the article from the second storage unit until such time as a price-indicative sign

Abstract: A system of the so-called "operator-unassisted" type, for processing articles selected for purchase and bearing an identification code, includes a code reader generating output signals indicative of the article identification codes, a sensor generating output signals indicative of measurable characteristics of the articles, a memory for storage, for each of the articles, of a signal indicative of the measurable characteristic thereof correlated with the article identification code, an article rejector for rejecting the selection of an article for purchase on failure of correspondence of the sensor output signal and the corresponding stored measurable characteristic signal and a control unit operable selectively on such rejection of the article purchase selection for substituting the output signal generated by the sensor for the stored measurable characteristic signal. The control unit effectively introduces an "override capacity" to heretofore known systems.
