Patent number: 12086872Abstract: An apparatus includes a display, interface, and processor. The interface receives video from a camera located in a physical store and directed at a first physical rack. The camera captures video of the rack during a shopping session. The processor displays a first virtual rack that emulates the first physical rack and includes first and second virtual shelves. The virtual shelves include virtual items, which include graphical representations of physical items located on the physical rack. The processor displays the rack video, which depicts an event including the person interacting with the first physical rack. The processor also displays a virtual shopping cart. The processor receives information associated with the event, identifying the first virtual item. The rack video depicts that the person selected the first physical item while interacting with the first physical rack. The processor then stores the first virtual item in the virtual shopping cart.Type: GrantFiled: February 22, 2022Date of Patent: September 10, 2024Assignee: 7-ELEVEN, INC.Inventors: Matthew Raymond Magee, Shahmeer Ali Mirza, Joshua E. Berry, Trong Nghia Nguyen, Ravi Kumar Kurva, Sarath Vakacharla, Ranganathan Mohan, Maninder Singh Suri, Jonathan Christopher Hodge

Publication number: 20240005389Abstract: An apparatus to create a virtual layout of a virtual store to emulate a physical layout of a physical store includes a memory and a processor. The processor receives a physical position and orientation associated with a physical rack located in the physical store. In response, the processor places a virtual rack at a virtual position and orientation on the virtual layout, to represent the physical position and orientation of the physical rack on the physical layout. The processor receives virtual items associated with physical items located on physical shelves of the physical rack. In response, the processor places the virtual items on virtual shelves of the virtual rack, the virtual shelves representing the physical shelves of the physical rack. The processor assigns a rack camera, which captures video that includes the physical rack, to the virtual rack and stores the virtual layout in the memory.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 13, 2023Publication date: January 4, 2024Inventors: Matthew Raymond MAGEE, Joshua E.

Patent number: 11475674Abstract: An apparatus includes an interface, display, memory, and processor. The interface receives a video feed including first and second camera feeds, each feed corresponding to a camera located in a store. The processor stores a video segment in memory, assigned to a person and capturing a portion of a shopping session. The video segment includes first and second camera feed segments, each segment corresponding to a recording of the corresponding camera feed from a starting to an ending timestamp. Playback of the first and second camera feed segments is synchronized, and a slider bar controls a playback progress of the camera feed segments. The processor displays the camera feed segments and copies of the slider bar on the display. The processor receives an instruction from at least one of the copies of the slider bar to adjust the playback progress of the camera feed segments and adjusts the playback progress.Type: GrantFiled: August 12, 2021Date of Patent: October 18, 2022Assignee: 7-ELEVEN, INC.Inventors: Matthew Raymond Magee, Ravi Kumar Kurva, Shahmeer Ali Mirza
