Abstract: Systems and methods for operating a security system. The methods comprise: monitoring an area for a presence of an individual or vehicle using wireless signals of a first type that are received by a first radio of the security system; operating the first radio as a wireless sensor for generating sensor data; determining whether the individual or vehicle is exhibiting an unusual behavior using the sensor data and pre-programmed or machine learned patterns of unusual behavior; changing an operating frequency of the first radio when a determination is made that the individual or vehicle is exhibiting unusual behavior; and communicating a wireless signal of a second type from the first radio when the individual or vehicle is exhibiting unusual behavior, where the second type is different than the first type.

Abstract: Systems and methods for operating a marker. The methods comprise: storing energy collected by an energy harvesting element of the marker; using the stored energy to enable operations of the marker's communications element; receiving, by the marker's communications element, a marker deactivation signal transmitted from an external device; and causing either a resonator to be prevented from receiving transmit bursts emitted from an EAS system, a bias element's magnetic field to be normalized, or a resonator to be physically prevented from vibrating, in response to the marker deactivation signal's reception.

Abstract: Systems and methods for managing inventory pricing. The methods comprise: programming, at a first location, an Electronic Smart Tag (“EST”) with at least first item level information comprising a first item description in a first language and a first item price in a first monetary currency; outputting the first item level information from the EST; and automatically replacing the first item level information being output from the EST with second item level information in response to the ESTs arrival at a second location different than and remote from the first location. The second item level information comprises the first item description in a second language different than the first language and the first item price in a second monetary currency different than the first monetary currency.

Abstract: Systems and methods for dynamically changing displayed content of a tag. The methods comprise: performing operations by sensors of the tag to detect when an individual is interacting with a first item to which the tag is coupled; determining a type of interaction between the individual and the first item; selecting at least one first accessory from a plurality of accessories for the first item based on the type of interaction; obtaining information for the selected at least one first accessory that is to be presented to the individual; and dynamically changing the displayed content of the tag to include the obtained information while the individual is still in proximity to the tag or interacting with the first item.

Abstract: Systems and methods for dynamically changing displayed content of a first tag. The methods comprising: detecting when an individual is in proximity to the first tag or when an item, to which the first tag is coupled, is being handled by the individual; identifying at least one first accessory for the item or at least one first related product that can be used in conjunction with or as an alternative to the item; obtaining information for the identified at least one first accessory or related product that is to be presented to the individual; and dynamically changing the displayed content of the first tag to include the obtained information while the individual is still in proximity to the first tag or handling the item.

Abstract: Systems and methods for performing inventory management. The methods comprise: measuring, by an Out Of Stock (“OOS”) sensor at a first time, a first collective weight of a plurality of items disposed thereon; measuring, by the OOS sensor at a second later time, a second collective weight of a plurality of items disposed thereon; using the first and second collective weights to determine if an item has been added to or removed from the OOS sensor; and wirelessly communicating, from the OOS sensor to a remote computing device, a notification that an item has been added to or removed from the OOS sensor such that stored inventory information is updated accordingly. The OOS sensor comprises a base layer having a planar cross-sectional profile and an array of weight measuring sensors (e.g., piezoresistive sensors).

Abstract: The invention is directed to a security element for the electronic surveillance of articles. This security element is detected by surveillance systems operating in different frequency ranges and it includes at least two materials of high permeability which, when excited by an external alternating magnetic field emit each a characteristic signal. The maximum signal components of the two materials lie in different frequency ranges and the signal components of the one material are negligibly ow in that particular frequency range in which the signal component of the other material is at a maximum level. The invention also relates to surveillance systems that incorporate these security elements.
