Abstract: Embodiments relate to systems and methods for optimizing physical layout of and product placement in a retail environment. Embodiments of systems and methods discussed herein can be used in many ways, including to analyze or determine: placement of a new product; a new location of an existing product; an improved or enhanced store layout; or an original, new store layout. Embodiments use limited information related to a customer entering a retail environment and making a purchase in the retail environment to estimate one or more possible paths taken by the customer in or through the retail environment. The estimated one or more paths then can be used to determine or adjust a physical location of at least one item in the retail environment to optimize physical layout of the retail environment.

Abstract: A system for illuminating a route to a desired product within a retail store to assist a customer in finding a desired product is disclosed. Preferably, the system uses an App which is downloaded and installed on the customer's mobile device. The App may use locating capabilities of the mobile device to determine the customer's location. The store at which the customer is interested in finding the product is automatically provided based upon the user's location. The mobile device connects with a backend system which locates an item related database for the selected store. The customer selects the desired product and the product location in the store. A route from the customer's location to the product location is determined and displayed on the mobile device. The backend system employs a number of projector to project lighted markers on surfaces indicating the route for the customer to follow to the product.

Abstract: In various example embodiments, a system and method for search and notification are provided. A request to search for an item is received by a system from a client device. The request includes search parameters that identify the searched item. Sensor data that indicates items that are located within a predefined distance from a sensor is received. A determination that the search parameters match with a corresponding item among the items indicated by the sensor data as being located within the predefined distance from the sensor is performed by the system. A location of the searched item is determined by the system based on the match. The location of the searched item is displayed by the system in a user interface of an application on the client device.

Abstract: Methods, apparatus, and systems are described for generating a content related notification based upon managed logistics information related to a container using a container interface display apparatus. Such a container interface display apparatus records an update to the managed logistics information maintained in a memory of the container interface display apparatus and then accesses at least a portion of the managed logistics information maintained in the memory after recording the update. The container interface display apparatus then detects a notification event based upon the accessed portion of the managed logistics information. Such notification event is related to status information associated with the container or an item stored within the container. The container interface display apparatus then generates the content related notification related the notification event and dynamically displays information related to the content related notification on a display screen of the container interface display apparatus.

Abstract: Bicycle theft monitoring and recovery systems include a tracking device with geolocation capabilities that is mountable to or integrated into a bicycle or other asset. Communications between the tracking device and a networked server or a user device permit configuring the tracking device as well as receiving reports of asset disturbances. The server coordinates tracking devices and assets for a plurality of users. In some examples, a user mobile device is configured to display tracker status, disturbance reports, and asset location and initiate alarms in response to disturbance reports from the tracking device.

Abstract: The system and methods of the various embodiments enable dynamic geofences to be generated based upon environmental events that have variable times and locations (e.g., extreme weather systems, natural disasters, civil unrest). Further, the system and methods of the various embodiments enable vehicles to respond to entering and exiting dynamic geofences. This may result in improved driver and passenger safety, and well as protecting the vehicle from damage. The system and methods of the various embodiments may enable fleet management systems to respond to vehicles entering and exiting dynamic geofences. This may result in reducing vehicle damage costs to rental or leasing companies.

Abstract: Sensor modules referred to herein as “buds”, are connected by wireline or wirelessly to a controller referred to herein as a “root” in what is referred to herein as a vine to provide inventory control information for a wine storage facility. Buds sense when objects are moved into or out of sensing range of a proximity sensor and, in alternative embodiments, may also track or control other quantities of interest, like the local temperature, humidity, or VOCs. A root may broadcast a message to all buds, or send a message to an individual bud, while buds return messages back to the root. Scaling of the system is accomplished through the use of roots as repeaters or targets. In a preferred embodiment, the vine originates at the root and each bud has at least two downstream facing ports, which dispatch messages along paths referred to here as “primary” and “divergent”.

Abstract: Methods and systems for managing temporary storage in warehouses are disclosed herein. An example method includes receiving a first electronic notification that items of a shipment are to be stored in temporary locations in a warehouse; in response to the first notification, automatically redirecting location information determined electronically based on asset tags affixed to the items from a warehouse management system to a temporary storage management system as the items are stored in the temporary locations; receiving a second electronic notification that the items are to be moved from the temporary locations to final locations; and in response to the second notification, automatically communicating the redirected location information to enable the warehouse worker to locate the items at the temporary locations based on the redirected location information and store them at the final locations, the final locations identified for the warehouse worker by the warehouse management system.
