  • Publication number: 20140081707
    Abstract: Methods, apparatus, and computer-readable medium can disambiguate point-of-sale data. One method receives one or more measured values. Each measured value indicating a quantity of sales allocated to a respective individual item. The method also receives an unallocated value indicating a quantity of sales allocated to an undifferentiated grouping of a plurality of the individual items. The method calculates, for each individual item of the plurality of the individual items associated with the undifferentiated grouping, a fraction of the undifferentiated grouping attributable to the respective individual item, and estimates a total sales value for at least one of the plurality of the individual items, based at least in part upon a respective measured value and a respective fraction of the undifferentiated grouping attributable to the respective individual item.

  • Patent number: 8630909
    Abstract: A point-of-sale interface receives point-of-sale quantities for a number of individual items, as well as point-of-sale quantity for a miscellaneous group item that includes undifferentiated sales of one or more of the individual items. An item indexer calculates an item index for at least one individual item, the item index comprising a fraction of the miscellaneous group item sales attributable to the individual item. A sales disambiguator then computes a revised point-of-sale quantity for the at least one individual item using the item index and the point-of-sale quantities for the miscellaneous group item and the at least one individual item.
