  • Patent number: 10031974
    Abstract: A method for searching assigned planograms corresponding to a floor plan includes receiving an indication of a type of search to conduct and a search parameter. The computer-implemented method further includes searching determining if the search is for a planogram or for a product contained within a planogram. When the search is for a planogram, the property of the planogram corresponding to the search type is compared to the search parameter. When the search is for a product, the property of each product contained within each planogram corresponding to the search type is compared to the search parameter. A list of all planograms matching the search parameter or containing a product that matches the search parameter is generated. The list is interpreted by a display device running a store layout application to depict the matching planograms in a first color and non-matching planograms in a second color.

  • Patent number: 9858545
    Abstract: A method for assigning a planogram to a new fixture on a floor plan includes receiving an indication of which planogram to relocate and an indication of a target fixture that the planogram will be relocated upon. The computer-implemented method further includes determining where on the target fixture the selected planogram will be place and causing databases storing assignment data to be updated to reflect the new location. Once the databases are updated to reflect the relocation, the contents of the database are analyzed by a display device running a store layout application to depict the relocated planogram on the target fixture.
