Abstract: This disclosure describes a system for associating multiple totes with a single profile so that items placed into any of the multiple totes are identified on a profile item identifier list. For example, if two users located in a materials handling facility are picking items that are to be consolidated or otherwise treated together, each user may select a different tote and move separately through the materials handling facility. As either user picks items and places those items into a corresponding tote, a profile item identifier list is updated to include an item identifier for each picked item.

Abstract: Described is a system and method for presenting event information to a user and, if necessary, obtaining confirmation of different aspects (user, item, action) of the event. In some implementations, an event includes a user, an action, and an item. For example, an event may include a user picking an item from an inventory location, a user placing an item into a tote associated with the user, etc. if the aspects of the event cannot be determined with a high enough degree of confidence, a user interface may be generated and sent to the user requesting confirmation of one or more of the aspects of the event.

Abstract: A system may generate image data of users within a facility. Such users may be part of a group that is unknown to the system. The system can predict group data for two or more users based on a resemblance or the users being within a threshold distance of each other. However, if a confidence level associated with the predicted group data is below a threshold value, the group data is deemed unreliable and assistance from an associate is deemed necessary. A user interface that includes a portion of the image data, information about the predicted group data, and other interface elements is presented to the associate via a display. Based on the input data received from the associate, the group data can be confirmed or rejected. If the group data is confirmed, an association is made between the users and a group identifier.

Abstract: In one or more implementations, groups of users enter a facility within a short time. Automated systems attempt to predict a grouping for various users, but the predicted grouping may not exhibit a confidence level above a certain threshold level. In such cases, a user interface is generated and presented to an associate to confirm the grouping of users. The user interface includes an image gallery and interface elements that allow for the selection of users into a group. The image gallery includes previously stored images of users, such as images obtained during a registration process or during a previous visit to the facility. In addition, the user interface also includes image data obtained from a camera at the facility depicting visitors at various times or locations. Once a grouping has been selected or confirmed by an associate, group data may be generated and stored for the group of users.

Abstract: This disclosure describes, in part, systems for enabling physical retail stores and other facilities to implement automated-checkout techniques for the purchase of customizable and/or made-to-items items by customers of the stores and/or facilities. For example, the described systems may enable a retail store to implement technology where users are able to order customizable items from an ordering location, an inventory location, or an associate of the facility, and exit the store without performing manual checkout of the items. The systems described herein thus enable customized retail facilities, as opposed to a retail facility that allows automated-checkout only for prepackaged-type or otherwise non-customizable merchandise.

Abstract: Users may enter a facility singly or in groups. Users may present entry credentials to a scanner. The entry credentials assist in identification of the user. After entry, users are tracked within the facility. If determinations about one or more of identification or tracking by an automated system fall below a threshold value, an employee associated with the facility is presented with a user interface. The user interface may include a gallery of images including those of the user and others in the facility. User input to the user interface is then used to reestablish one or more of identification or tracking.
