Patent number: 11887051Abstract: Techniques for employing user interfaces to output information indicative of events occurring in an inventory facility, and receive feedback from a human regarding the events are described herein. In one implementation, an event may take place in an inventory facility, such as a customer taking an item from an inventory location, returning an item to an inventory location, and so forth. An automated system of an inventory management system may process sensor data collected by sensors in the inventory facility to determine details of the event. In some examples, the inventory management system is unable to determine with a high level of confidence what occurred during the event. The inventory management system may provide the sensor data to a human associate through an associate interface, and receive input regarding details of the event from the human associate through the associate interface.Type: GrantFiled: August 6, 2021Date of Patent: January 30, 2024Assignee: Amazon Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Danny Guan, Prathiban Mohanasundaram, Shannon Thomas, Mirko Mandic, Helene Causse, Brett Richard Taylor, Waqas Syed Ahmed, David Echevarria Ignacio

Patent number: 11824580Abstract: A communication system is described. The communication system includes a number of nodes which frequency hop without coordination from a frequency table. To establish communication, the nodes scan across a band for one or more signals of interest. The signals of interest include one or more of a synchronization signal, a control signal, and a traffic signal. When transmitting the signals of interest, the nodes determine one or more characteristic for the signal, such as a channel, based on a spectral occupancy of interferers in the band.Type: GrantFiled: April 25, 2022Date of Patent: November 21, 2023Assignee: Rockwell Collins, Inc.Inventors: John V.

Patent number: 11600094Abstract: Described are systems and methods for detecting objects using calibrated imaging devices and obfuscating, in real-time or near real time, portions of the video data to protect the privacy of operators represented in the video data. For example, a position of an operator within a fulfillment center may be determined or tracked in video data and the pixels representative of that operator may be obfuscated using pixilation and/or other techniques so that a reviewing agent that is viewing the video data cannot determine the identity of the operator. Such obfuscation may be performed in real-time or near real-time using automated processing. In addition, only portions of the video data may be obfuscated so that events (e.g., item picks, item place) and/or other objects represented in the video data are still viewable to the reviewing agent.Type: GrantFiled: March 17, 2021Date of Patent: March 7, 2023Assignee: Amazon Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Adrian Quark, Prathiban Mohanasundaram, Joseph M. Riley, Danny Guan, Waqas Syed Ahmed

Patent number: 11568361Abstract: This disclosure describes interactive data processing systems configured to facilitate selection by a human associate of tentative results generated by an automated system from sensor data. In one implementation, an event may take place in a materials handling facility. The event may comprise a pick or place of an item from an inventory location, movement of a user, and so forth. The sensor data associated with the event is processed by an automated system to determine tentative results associated with the event. In some situations, an uncertainty may exist as to which of the tentative results accurately reflects the actual event. The system may then determine whether the event is to be merged with one or more temporally and spatially proximate events and, if so, the sensor data and tentative results for the merged event is sent to a human associate. The associate may select one of the tentative results.Type: GrantFiled: June 17, 2021Date of Patent: January 31, 2023Assignee: Amazon Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Fei Xiong, Sabarishkumar Iyer, David Echevarria Ignacio, Sridhar Boyapati, Caylan Lee, Jacques Daniel Thomas, Waqas Syed Ahmed, Danny Guan
