Patent number: 12141851Abstract: A system and method detects that an object within an image frame being captured via use of an imaging element associated with a computing device is an object of interest, tracks the object of interest within the image frame while determining if the object within the image frame remains the object of interest within the image frame for a predetermined amount of time, and, when the object within the image frame fails to remain the object of interest within the image frame for the predetermined amount of time causes the steps to be repeated. Otherwise, the system and method will automatically provide at least of part of the image frame to a cloud-based visual search process for the purpose of locating one or more matching products from within a product database for the object of interest with the located one or more matching products being returned to a customer as a product search result.Type: GrantFiled: January 14, 2021Date of Patent: November 12, 2024Assignee: W. W. GRAINGER, INC.Inventors: Claudiu Colteu, Fouad Bousetouane, Nirav Saraiya, William Gillespie
