  • Patent number: 11445836
    Abstract: A shelving assembly is provided for a container. The shelving assembly includes a first shelf movably positioned in the container and configured to support a first stock. The shelving assembly further includes a plurality of first support members configured to support the first shelf and displace the first shelf between a first position and a second position in the container based on a weight sensed by at least one first weight sensor to maintain the first stock at an opening of the container. Additionally, the shelving assembly includes a second shelf positioned adjacent within the container and configured to support a second stock. The first shelf is configured to be removed at the second position to facilitate the first stock descending onto the second stock on the second shelf. Accordingly, the shelving assembly facilitates first in first out stock rotation.

  • Patent number: 10964176
    Abstract: A security apparatus and a method for detecting illegal carrying of items at a check-out are provided. The security apparatus includes a first set of sensors for measuring a number of parameters associated with a number of items purchased by a customer, and a second set of sensors to measure a number of physiological parameters of the customer. A communication unit in the security apparatus obtains information regarding a purchase of the number of items. A computing unit of the security apparatus compares reference parameters with the measured number of parameters. Based on a difference in the comparison, the computing unit receives the number of micro-expressions of the customer and determines one or more emotions of the customer. The one or more emotions and the number of parameters associated with the number of items are used to detect illegal carrying of at least one item.

  • Publication number: 20210073889
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a method and an assisting system for assisting a user in real-time for selecting products. The method and system involve receiving information of a set of nutrients associated with a product selected by the user. Thereafter, health data and a health goal associated with the user are received from a user profile database. Information of the set of nutrients is then analyzed based on a health effect of pre-stored nutrients similar to the set of nutrients. Based on the analysis, one of a first expected impact or a second expected impact of the set of nutrients is identified based on the health data. The selected product is then detected as suitable for the user upon identifying the first expected impact of the set of nutrients on the health data of user.

  • Publication number: 20210019791
    Abstract: A method and a system are provided for enhancing retail interaction of a user in real-time. The system includes a processor and a memory configured to receive image frames of a user and environment around the user, track an interaction of the user with an item using the image frames, extract at least one of user characteristics or purchase preferences of the user from at least one of the image frames or a database, extract information about at least one of user action and at least one user facial micro-expression associated with the item from the image frames, determine a user reaction associated with the item based on the at least one user facial micro-expression, determine user-specific information based on at least one of the user characteristics, the purchase preferences, the user action or reaction, and provide the user-specific information to the user for enhancing retail interactions.
