Abstract: A smart product display system has a base on which a product can be placed. A product camera mounted to the base is used to image a field of view over the base. Images from the product camera are analyzed to identify products that are placed on the base and to detect when a customer has interacted with a product, such as by lifting it up. When a product interaction is detected, information about the product is presented on a display. The display can be integrated in a riser extending upwardly from the base. A customer camera can be used to capture images of a person in the vicinity of the system. Images from the customer camera can be analyzed to identify an attribute of an imaged person and an output, such as a content display or an alert, generated responsive to the attribute.

Abstract: Examples provide a universal bag holder for storing multiple different types of bags on a single bag holder device. The bag holder includes a bag receptacle for holding folded paper bags or folded reusable bags, such as cloth bags. An access window in one side of the receptacle enables a user to retrieve items which may fall into the receptacle. The bag holder also includes a bag support rack having a set of bag support arms for supporting plastic bags or reusable bags on the arms. The loops on the plastic or reusable bags are placed over the bag support arms. A paper bag that has been unfolded can also be supported between the bag support arms. A label holder permits placement of price tags or other information labels for the bags. The bag holder can be attached to pre-existing bagging area fixtures for ease of use.

Abstract: A checkout conveyor system for visually separating items is an apparatus that automatically projects a light as a divider. The apparatus includes a first rail, a second rail, a plurality of first illumination devices, a motion sensor, a plurality of first proximity sensors, a plurality of second proximity sensors, at least one microcontroller, and at least one power source. The first rail upholds and positions the plurality of first illumination devices and the plurality of first proximity sensors along a checkout system of the apparatus. The plurality of first illumination devices projects a line across a space between groups of items detected by the plurality of first proximity sensors and the plurality of second proximity sensors. The motion sensor activates the line. The at least one microcontroller manages the inputs and outputs. The at least one power source supplies the necessary power.

Abstract: This disclosure is directed to item-identifying carts that may be utilized by users to automatically identify items that the users place in their carts. In addition, these carts may automatically determine the outcome of respective events that occur with respect to these identified items. For example, the carts may be configured to identify one or more items that are placed into or removed from the cart, and thereafter determine one or more actions taken with respect to the identified items and a quantity of the items involved. For example, after identifying a first item and a second item either placed into or removed from the cart, the cart may determine that the user added two instances of the first item and removed one instance of the second item. In response to making this determination, the cart may update a virtual cart of a user operating the physical cart.

Abstract: Systems and methods for using speech recognition technologies to facilitate retail store checkout are disclosed. According to certain aspects, an electronic device may detect a user's speech and analyze the speech to identify a set of matching items that may correspond to items being purchased by a customer. The electronic device may display, via a user interface, the set of matching items as well as a code or identification associated with the set of matching items. The user may interface with a point of sale system to input a code for a desired item, and the point of sale system may add the desired item to an order and may facilitate a checkout for the order.
