Patent number: 10755259Abstract: Methods and systems are provided for monitoring a point of sale (POS) transaction. Operations performed by the methods and systems include generating POS primitives by processing non-video data of a transaction recorded at POS terminal. The operations also include generating video primitives by processing video data of the transaction recorded at the POS terminal. The operations further include determining that the transaction comprises an exceptional transaction by comparing the non-video data and/or the video data to exceptional transaction rules. Additionally, the operations include determining that the exceptional transaction comprises a verified exceptional transaction by generating a video event based on the video primitives and a corresponding video rule.Type: GrantFiled: December 28, 2018Date of Patent: August 25, 2020Assignee: AVIGILON FORTRESS CORPORATIONInventors: Alan J. Lipton, Peter L. Venetianer, Li Yu, Yongtong Hu, W. Andrew Scanlon, Zhong Zhang, Weihong Yin

Publication number: 20180246887Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer applications and media for gathering, categorizing, sorting, managing, reviewing and organizing large quantities of multimedia items across space and time and using crowd-sourcing resources are described. Various implementations may enable either public or private (e.g., internal to an organization) crowdsourcing of multimedia item gathering and analysis, including the gathering, analysis, lead-searching, and classification of digital still images and digital videos. Various implementations may allow a user, such as a law enforcement investigator, to consolidate all of the available multimedia items into one system, and quickly gather, sort, organize, and display the multimedia items based on location, time, content, or other parameters. Moreover, an investigator may be able to create crowd source tasks as he works with the multimedia items and utilize crowd source resources when he needs help.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 28, 2018Publication date: August 30, 2018Inventors: Minwoo Park, Tae Eun Choe, W.
