Abstract: A network device receives a first application programming interface (API) call from an application. The first API call requests a micro-service of a blockchain-based technology. The blockchain-based technology includes use of a shared ledger among participating nodes in a distributed consensus network. The micro-service provides a function for the application. The network device sends, in response to the first API call, a second API call to one of the participating nodes. The second API call initiates a framework module of a multiple of framework modules in the participating nodes. The network device receives, from the one of the participating nodes, a response to the second API call, the response indicating consensus of the participating nodes. The network device generates, based on the response to the second API call, a reply to the first API call.

Abstract: A smart shopping container and supporting network perform object recognition for items in a retail establishment. A network device receives a signal from a user device to associate a portable container with a retail application being executing on the user device. The network device receives, from the container, images of a holding area of the container. The images are captured by different cameras at different positions relative to the holding area and are captured proximate in time to detecting an activity that places an object from the retail establishment into the holding area. The network device generates a scene of the holding area constructed of multiple images from the different cameras and identifies the object as a retail item using the scene. The network device associates the retail item with a stock-keeping unit (SKU) and creates a product list that includes an item description for the object associated with the SKU.
