  • Publication number: 20220230216
    Abstract: System that analyzes data from a smart shelf that is monitored by weight sensors and cameras to identify items that are removed from the shelf and the locations of these items on the shelf. By using multiple shelf weight sensors, the location of items removed from or added to a shelf can be calculated from static equilibrium conditions. This weight-based location can be compared to regions of visual change in camera images to cross-check the location of events and to improve accuracy. The location of an item change may also be used in conjunction with a planogram to determine the item expected to be at this location; the expected item can be compared to the item identified using image analysis to further increase item identification accuracy. Weight changes can also be used to determine the quantity of items taken from a shelf.

  • Patent number: 11394927
    Abstract: System that allows devices of an autonomous store, such as sensors in product display areas, to receive power and communicate data over conductive rails of store fixtures. By using fixtures to transmit data and power, the need for cabling to these devices, or for batteries to power the devices, is eliminated or greatly reduced, thereby dramatically simplifying installation and maintenance. Illustrative fixtures over which devices can communicate include slatwalls, pegboards, and rectangular support bars. Power and data may be multiplexed onto the same pair of conductive rails. Embodiments may use device hubs to coordinate communication with devices and to act as gateways between devices and centralized store servers. Devices may communicate their identities and locations to store servers to facilitate installation; for example, they may display their identities on electronic labels that are imaged by store cameras, so that the store server can learn the location of each device automatically.

  • Patent number: 11226799
    Abstract: An embodiment includes requesting, by a compiler responsive to execution of a first code segment, a first profile dataset associated with the first code segment. The embodiment also includes executing, responsive to receiving an indication that the first profile dataset is not available, a querying process that searches other code segments based on specified criteria relating to an attribute of the first code segment. The embodiment also includes receiving a search result from the querying process, where the search result includes a second code segment. The embodiment also includes generating an extrapolated profile dataset based at least in part on the second code segment. The embodiment stores the extrapolated profile dataset in memory associated with the first code segment, and the compiler performs an optimization process on the first code segment using the extrapolated profile dataset.
