摘要: This disclosure describes a system for disambiguating between multiple potential users that may have performed an item action (e.g., item removal or item placement) at an inventory location. For example, if there are three picking agents (users) standing near an inventory location and one of the agents removes an item (item action) from the inventory location, the example systems and processes described herein may utilize various inputs to disambiguate between the users and determine which of the potential users performed the item action.

摘要: Described is a multiple-camera system for use in capturing images of users within a materials handling facility and processing those images to monitor the movement of users. For large materials handling facilities, a large number of cameras may be required to monitor the facility. Processing of the data generated from a large number of cameras becomes difficult. The implementations described herein include a hierarchy that allows image data from any number of cameras within a materials handling facility to be processed without substantially increasing the processing time needed or sacrificing processing capabilities.

摘要: Described is a system and method for collecting item and user information and utilizing that information to determine materials handling facility patterns, item trends and inventory location trends. User monitoring data for users located in a materials handling facility may include information identifying inventory locations approached by users, gaze directions of users, user dwell times, an identification of items picked by users, an identification of items placed by users, and/or in-transit times for items. This information may be aggregated and processed to determine materials handling facility patterns, item trends and/or inventory location trends.

摘要: Described are systems and techniques configured to authenticate a user upon entry to a facility. Prior to entry, the user may log in to a secure website with valid credentials, whereupon a login image of the user at the time of login is acquired. In one implementation, optically encoded data is generated which includes data representative of the login image, an acquisition timestamp, and an identifier value. At entry of the user to the facility, an entry image of the user's face, an image of the optically encoded data as presented on a display of a computing device in possession of the user, and an entry timestamp are acquired. By determining the timestamp is within a valid range of time and the data representative of the login image corresponds to the entry image, the user is authenticated to the identifier value.

摘要: This disclosure describes a system for assisting users in locating items from inventory locations and/or obtaining additional information about items. In some instances, a user may experience difficulty in locating an inventory item in a materials handling facility. By detecting one or more expressions presented by the user, an inventory management system may determine that assistance is to be provided to the user, determine and provide the appropriate assistance to the user.

摘要: Described is a multiple-camera system and process for re-identifying a user located in a materials handling facility based on user patterns and/or descriptors representative of the user. In one implementation, a user pattern and/or a plurality of descriptors representative of a user are maintained as a position of a user is tracked through a materials handling facility. If the tracking of the user is lost, the last known position is stored with the user pattern and/or descriptors. If a new object is detected and confirmed to be a user, a user pattern and/or descriptors of the new object are compared with the stored user pattern and/or descriptors to determine if the new object is the user.

摘要: This disclosure describes a system for identifying users and/or their companions, utilizing the behavior and gestures of a user's companion to assist the user, and developing user paths based on user and/or companion preferences. A companion profile may be established to identify the companion and associated the companion with the user. Likewise, a user pattern that includes both the user and the companion may be established and used to track the location of the user and/or companion while in the materials handling facility.

摘要: Described is a multiple-camera system and process for determining an item involved in an event. For example, when a user picks an item or places an item at an inventory location, image information for the item may be obtained and processed to identify the item involved in the event and associate that item with the user.
