Abstract
A method includes receiving, by a computing device, acceleration information from an acceleration sensor attached to a product; receiving, by the computing device, from an image capture device an image of a prospective purchaser of the product; determining, by the computing device, a movement of the prospective purchaser based on the acceleration information and the image, the movement being in relation to a movement of the product; and sending, by the computing device, display information to a digital display, the display information including information related to the product. The movement of the product is based on the acceleration information.
Claims20
A method, comprising:
- receiving, by a computing device, acceleration information from an acceleration sensor attached to a product;
- receiving, by the computing device and from an image capture device, an image of a prospective purchaser of the product;
- determining, by the computing device, a movement of the prospective purchaser based on the acceleration information and pose estimation, the movement being in relation to a movement of the product, wherein the determining a movement of the prospective purchaser comprises utilizing a machine learning model that focuses on skeletal structures of the prospective purchaser based on the image;
- and
- sending, by the computing device, display information to a digital display, the display information including information related to the product,
- wherein, the movement of the product is based on the acceleration information.
A computer program product comprising one or more computer readable storage media having program instructions collectively stored on the one or more computer readable storage media, the program instructions executable to:
- receive acceleration information from an acceleration sensor attached to a product, the acceleration information indicating a movement of the acceleration sensor;
- receive from an image capture device an image captured by the image capture device of a prospective purchaser of the product;
- determine a movement of the prospective purchaser based on the acceleration information and the image, the movement being in relation to a movement of the product;
- and
- send information to a storage device, the information including the movement of the prospective purchaser and information related to the product,
- wherein the determining a movement of the prospective purchaser comprises utilizing a machine learning model that focuses on skeletal structures of the prospective purchaser based on the image, and
- the movement of the product is based on the acceleration information.
A system comprising:
- a processor, a computer readable memory, one or more computer readable storage media, and program instructions collectively stored on the one or more computer readable storage media, the program instructions executable to:
- receive acceleration information from an acceleration sensor attached to a product;
- receive from an image capturing device an image of a prospective purchaser of the product;
- determine a movement of the prospective purchaser based on the acceleration information and pose estimation of the image, the movement being in relation to a movement of the product, wherein the determining a movement of the prospective purchaser comprises utilizing a machine learning model that focuses on skeletal structures of the prospective purchaser based on the image;
- and
- send user display information to a digital display, the user display information suggesting to a user of the computing device that the user perform an action relative to the prospective purchaser,
- wherein, the movement of the product is based on the acceleration information, and
- the action suggested is based on the determined movement of the prospective purchaser.
