    摘要: A non-scan detect system for a retail checkout station includes a non-scan detect module. The non-scan detect module, when operated, causes the non-scan detect system to detect the passing of an item across a scanner device of a retail checkout station, determine that the item passing across the scanner device was not registered as a scan, establish a potential non-scanned item based on the item not being registered as a scan, obtain an image of the potential non-scanned item, establish a scanned item based on an item passing across the scanner device being registered as a scan, extract features associated with the scanned item, compare the features associated with the scanned item with the image of the potential non-scanned item, and trigger an actual non-scan if the features of the scanned item do not substantially match the image of the potential non-scanned item.

    摘要: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on a computer storage medium, for processing image endorsements. In one aspect, a method includes receiving a search query from a user device of a user that belongs to a social affinity group; receiving image search results responsive to the search query, each image search result referencing a corresponding image resource and including a representative image of the image resource; identifying representative images of the image search results that each have an endorsement association with one or more of the users identified by the social affinity group; generating annotation data describing the endorsement association with at least one of the users identified by the social affinity group; and providing the annotation data to a user device for presentation with the representative image.

    摘要: A system for hosting an in-store electronic auction including a plurality of shoppers including a store server capable of synchronizing with handheld portable devices within a predetermined geographic area, a plurality of customers having portable electronic devices. The portable electronic devices are capable of synchronizing with the store server, such that the plurality of customers can individually send and receive auction information therethrough, as well as an inventory of products within the predetermined geographic area from which a customer can shop. The store server identifies the shoppers in the predetermined geographical area through the portable electronic device, and determines a shopper's eligibility to participate in the auction. If the shopper is determined to be eligible to participate, the system synchronizes the shopper's portable electronic device to the store server. Upon receiving an offer for the purchase of an item from the inventory of products from a first eligible shopper, placed through the shopper's portable electronic device, the system determines if the first shopper's offer for the item in inventory is above a predetermined price, if the offer from the first shopper is above a predetermined price, system approves and authorizes the sales transaction. If the offer from the first shopper is not above a predetermined price the server notifies other eligible shoppers from the plurality of an auction for the item in inventory through the eligible shoppers' portable electronic device. The system then receives offers for the purchase of the item from the eligible shoppers of the plurality through the eligible shoppers' portable electronic device.

    摘要: A method for managing a usage cost of an asset. A user component of a business entity may access the asset after the asset has been developed by a development component of the business entity, wherein the user component receives compensation from a compensator in response to the user component having incurred a usage burden from using the asset, and wherein the compensator may have contributed to the usage burden. Alternatively, a user component of a second business entity may access an asset after the asset is developed by a development component of a first business entity, wherein second business entity receives compensation from the first business entity in response to the user component having incurred a usage burden from using the asset. The compensation has a magnitude that is a function of the usage burden. The asset may be a software application.
