Abstract
Disclosed are systems and methods for generating a planogram of a store. The systems and methods may include receiving a plurality of images and transaction data. At least one of the plurality of images may include user data representing a user proximate the product. The transaction data may be associated with a completed purchase of the product. Based on the transaction data and the user data, a probability of the user retrieving the product may be determined and used to generate the planogram of the store.
Claims10
A method for generating a planogram and identifying a suspect customer, the method comprising:
- receiving a plurality of images, at least one of the plurality of images including user data representing a body part of a user proximate a first product and a second product;
- performing an object tracking operation on the body part of the user;
- determining a location of the body part of the user proximate a shelf associated with the first product based on the object tracking operation;
- receiving weight data associated with the first product from both a weight sensor attached to a cart and the shelf associated with the first product;
- determining a weight decrease associated with the shelf and a weight increase associated with the cart;
- receiving transaction data associated with a completed purchase of the first product and not the second product;
- determining a probability of the user retrieving the second product based on the transaction data, the weight decrease associated with the shelf and the weight increase associated with the cart, and the user data;
- determining the probability is less than a predetermined value and the weight decrease associated with the shelf and the weight increase associated with the cart do not match a known weight data associated with the completed purchase of the first product and identifying the user as the suspect customer;
- and
- generating a planogram for the first product based on the transaction data associated with the completed purchase of the first product.
7 more elements
A system for generating a planogram of a store and identifying a suspect customer, the system comprising:
- a plurality of cameras located throughout the store;
- a plurality of weight sensors located throughout the store;
- a processor electrically coupled to the plurality of cameras;
- and
- a memory electrically coupled to the processor, the memory storing instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to perform actions comprising:
- receiving, from the plurality cameras, a plurality of images, the plurality of images including user data representing a body part of a user proximate a plurality of products,
- performing an object tracking operation on the body part of the user,
- determining a location of the body part of the user proximate a shelf associated with at least two of the plurality of products,
- receiving weight data associated with the plurality of products from the plurality of weight sensors, wherein each of a first subset of the plurality of weight sensors is attached to a cart and each of a second subset of the plurality of weight sensors is attached to a shelf associated with a respective one of the plurality of products,
- receiving transaction data associated with a completed purchase of the plurality of products,
- determining a probability of the user retrieving each of the plurality of products based on the transaction data and the user data for each of the plurality products,
- generating the planogram for the plurality of products based on the probability of the user retrieving each of the plurality of products for each of the plurality of products, and
- identifying the suspect customer when the probability of the user retrieving one of the plurality of products is less than a predetermined value and a weight decrease and increase do not match a known weight data associated with the completed purchase of the plurality of products.
