Abstract: This disclosure describes interactive data processing systems configured to facilitate selection by a human associate of tentative results generated by an automated system from sensor data. In one implementation, an event may take place in a materials handling facility. The event may comprise a pick or place of an item from an inventory location, movement of a user, and so forth. The sensor data associated with the event is processed by an automated system to determine tentative results associated with the event. In some situations, an uncertainty may exist as to which of the tentative results accurately reflects the actual event. The system may then determine whether the event is to be merged with one or more temporally and spatially proximate events and, if so, the sensor data and tentative results for the merged event is sent to a human associate. The associate may select one of the tentative results.

Abstract: Techniques for employing user interfaces to output information indicative of events occurring in an inventory facility, and receive feedback from a human regarding the events are described herein. In one implementation, an event may take place in an inventory facility, such as a customer taking an item from an inventory location, returning an item to an inventory location, and so forth. An automated system of an inventory management system may process sensor data collected by sensors in the inventory facility to determine details of the event. In some examples, the inventory management system is unable to determine with a high level of confidence what occurred during the event. The inventory management system may provide the sensor data to a human associate through an associate interface, and receive input regarding details of the event from the human associate through the associate interface.

Abstract: This disclosure is directed to techniques in which a first user in an environment scans visual indicia associated with an item, such as a barcode, before handing the item to a second user. One or more computing devices may receive an indication of the scan, retrieve image data of the interaction from a camera within the environment, identify the user that received the item, and update a virtual cart associated with the second user to indicate addition of the item.

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: Systems and methods for receiving objects into inventory are described. The objects are individually scanned to generate scan data. The scan data is processed to determine what the object is (and to add the object into inventory) and also to determine values for one or more additional attributes. The attribute values are stored in a data structure which may be analyzed to detect a change over time.

Abstract: Systems and methods for improving the efficiency of receiving and registering parcels arriving at a storage facility may identify the parcels and/or any items therein by scanning or reading one or more external markings on the parcels, and route the parcels to designated areas within a multi-dimensional buffer region on a first conveyor or other like apparatus. Within the buffer region, parcels may be positioned and/or rearranged on account of their respective priority levels. When a facility is prepared to receive the items within a parcel, the desired parcel may be retrieved from the buffer region, and the items singulated therefrom. The items may then be transported to an ultimate destination for storage, delivery or further preparation, and one or more attributes of the respective items (including a weight, a dimension or an image) may be gathered from the items while they are en route to the destination.

Abstract: Visual cues may be provided for the purpose of triggering the performance of one or more actions associated with a given task. A visual cue may include one or more characters or other markings on any relevant surfaces, as well as naturally appearing edges, contours or outlines within an environment in which the visual cue is provided. When one or more visual cues appear within a field of view of an imaging device, and the visual cues are recognized as such, a task relating to the visual cues may be identified, and instructions for performing the task may be provided. The task may be dependent upon a context in which the visual cues are provided, such that a single visual cue may be associated with multiple tasks in different contexts, and the performance of the task may be confirmed based on imaging data or other relevant information.

Abstract: Methods, systems and apparatus for determining stowability based on item-size categories are described. Embodiments may select a storage module for a stow operation based on accessing stowability information. Stowability information, in various embodiments may include stowability information for each storage module in a materials handling system. Stowability information may indicate a capacity to hold additional items in a storage module. The capacity may be determined according an item-size category descriptor, describing the quantity of items in each category of a storage module, and a storage module capacity module characterizing item descriptors of fully-stowed storage modules. In some embodiments the storage module capacity model is a function fitted to data points representing the values of item-size descriptors of fully-stowed storage modules. Embodiments may update the stowability information for a storage module in response to the removal of an item from the storage module.
