Abstract
Disclosed are various embodiments for an inspection system and method that automatically photographs or captures video footage of received items for trade-in as they are being inspected or graded.
Claims20
A non-transitory computer-readable medium embodying a program executable in a computing device, the program comprising:
- code that receives a graded condition that is below a specified threshold condition for acceptance as part of a trade-in order;
- code that commands an image capture device to capture an overhead image in an image file of an item whose graded condition is below the specified threshold condition, wherein the item is a subject of the trade-in order submitted by an entity;
- code that stores the image file that is captured to a storage medium available to be accessed by the entity;
- and
- code that sends a message to the entity with information on the graded condition of the item, wherein the message includes the image file and a model image file of the item whose condition at least meets the specified threshold condition.

A system, comprising:
- at least one computing device;
- and
- a trade-in inspection program executable in the at least one computing device, the trade-in inspection program comprising:
- logic that receives a graded condition that is below a specified threshold condition for a trade-in order;
- logic that commands an image capture device to capture an image in an image file of an item whose graded condition is below the specified threshold condition, wherein the item is a subject of the trade-in order submitted by an entity;
- logic that stores the image file to a storage medium available to be accessed by the entity;
- and
- logic that sends a message to the entity with information on the graded condition of the item, wherein the message includes the image file and a model image file of the item whose condition at least meets the specified threshold condition.
5 more elements
A method, comprising:
- receiving a graded condition that is below a specified threshold condition for a trade-in order;
- commanding, by a computing device, an image capture device to capture an image in an image file of an item whose graded condition is below the specified threshold condition, wherein the item is a subject of the trade-in order submitted by an entity;
- storing, by the computing device, the image file to a storage medium available to be reviewed by the entity;
- and
- sending a message to the entity with information on the graded condition of the item wherein the message includes the image that is captured and a model image of the item in a side by side comparison, wherein a condition of the item represented in the model image at least meets the specified threshold condition.
