The system uses one or more processors and a memory with instructions to generate a baseline image map of the container, detect an entry door open event with the door monitor associated with the container, generate a post entry door open event image map of the container, and compare the baseline image map generated before the entry door open event with image map generated after the entry door open event.

Abstract: A voice-controlled question answering system that is capable of answering questions using both a knowledge base and a search engine. The knowledge base is used to answer questions when answers to those questions are contained in the knowledge base. If an answer using the knowledge base is unavailable, and if the question is suitable for answering using an unstructured search approach, the system may obtain an answer using a search engine. The search engine results may be processed to obtain an answer to the question suitable for output using a voice user interface.
