Abstract
A service portal enables a user to request a service from a variety of service providers from the comfort of home or elsewhere. The user is able to place the order and pay for the service using a computing device. Depending on the service request, additional steps may be included such as scanning an item or a room, packaging an item, and/or other preparatory steps. Items are able to be identified via scanning. Order entry is able to be initiated via the scanned identification. The scanned items are able to be inventoried and managed. Augmented reality is able to be used with the scanned items. A standalone services app is able to provide entertainment and other accompanying services.
Claims31
A method programmed in a non-transitory memory of a device comprising:
- applying a digital mask on a stain within one or more digital images of a scanned item such that the stain is masked out during analysis of the scanned item to prevent misidentification of the scanned item, wherein the stain is located on the scanned item, the stain is detected using machine learning based on a border of the stain within the digital images and the stain is not an effect of noise within the digital images;
- and
- storing identification information of the item, wherein the identification information of the item includes:
- a unique identifier of the item, an image of the item and a description of the item.
An apparatus comprising:
- a camera for scanning an item of a user;
- a non-transitory memory for storing an application, the application for:
- applying a digital mask on a stain within one or more digital images of a scanned item such that the stain is masked out during analysis of the scanned item to prevent misidentification of the scanned item, wherein the stain is located on the scanned item, the stain is detected using machine learning based on a border of the stain within the digital images and the stain is not an effect of noise within the digital images;
- and
- storing identification information of the item, wherein the identification information of the item includes:
- a unique identifier of the item, an image of the item and a description of the item;
- and
- a processor for processing the application.
