Abstract: A computer vision card reader and/or point of sale device is described. The device is configured to sense when a user inserts a card into a card reader and to determine when a user departs or is about to depart from the device without retrieving the card. The device may issue an audible or visible alert to the user, reminding the user to retrieve the card. The device may additionally send a notification to a mobile device associated with the user that reminds the user that he has left a card at the point of sale. In some embodiments, message sent to the user contains a code and, upon entry of the code, the point of sale or card reader device returns the card to the user.

Abstract: In some embodiments, apparatuses and methods are provided herein useful for a retail facility to maintain information regarding product location, in part, from correlating a shopper's cart path and their purchased items with those of other shoppers. In some approaches, the methods and apparatuses may determine a cart path for a particular shopping cart by analyzing aisle markers captured by an image capturing device in the shopping cart, associate that cart path with the purchased items from that shopping cart, and compare the associated cart path and purchased items with similar information from other customers. In some examples, by comparing the associated cart paths and purchased items form a plurality of customers, an aisle location of one of the retail items is identified and the database of aisle locations and retail items may be updated accordingly.

Abstract: A valuable media sanitizing/cleansing cassette is provided for sanitizing/cleansing surfaces of valuable media dispensed to a consumer during a dispense transaction at a transaction terminal. Dispensed media is urged from one or more media cassettes within the terminal along a transport path. The transport path is altered to pass the media through the sanitizing/cleansing cassette where the top and bottom surfaces of the media are illuminated with Ultraviolet (UV) radiation to eradicate any bacteria or virus that may be adhered to the top or the bottom surfaces of the media. Once the media passes through the sanitizing/cleansing cassette, the now sanitized/cleansed media is urged along a remainder of the transport path and dispensed from a media interface of the terminal to the consumer. In an embodiment, media deposited at the terminal is also sanitized/cleansed by passing through the sanitizing/cleansing cassette before being stored in the appropriate media cassettes.

Abstract: Wireless communication and proximity-based feedback technologies are disclosed. In some examples, a system identifies, based on analysis of signal(s) (e.g., conveying transaction object information) received by a reader interface from a transaction object in response to physical proximity between the transaction object and the reader interface, an indication of a movement of the transaction object relative to the reader interface. The system generates, based on the indication, feedback indicating a recommended change to the movement to improve an ability of the reader interface to read the transaction object. The system sends the feedback to an output device that to output the feedback to indicate the recommended change. The system reads the transaction object information from the transaction object using the reader interface in response to an improvement in the ability of the reader interface to read the transaction object and in response to the output of the feedback.

Abstract: A settlement terminal in which a customer can achieve a code settlement by holding a settlement tool on which a code symbol is displayed over and toward a display panel is provided. The settlement terminal according to an embodiment includes the display panel and an imaging unit. The display panel can be set to a transmissive state in at least partial area. The imaging unit is located at a reverse side of the display panel, and images the code symbol held over and toward the display panel through the area in the transmissive state of the display panel.

Abstract: An item recognition system uses a top camera and one or more peripheral cameras to identify items. The item recognition system may use image embeddings generated based on images captured by the cameras to generate a concatenated embedding that describes an item depicted in the image. The item recognition system may compare the concatenated embedding to reference embeddings to identify the item. Furthermore, the item recognition system may detect when items are overlapping in an image. For example, the item recognition system may apply an overlap detection model to a top image and a pixel-wise mask for the top image to detect whether an item is overlapping with another in the top image. The item recognition system notifies a user of the overlap if detected.

Abstract: A commodity registration system comprises a camera and a commodity registration device including a processor configured to: acquire images of a commodity being placed in a housing unit from the camera; determine, based on at least one of the acquired images, commodity type identifications for the commodity; and when the commodity type identifications are different: store each of the commodity type identifications in second registration information, the second registration information identifying candidates for commodities to be purchased; and in response to a user selection of one of the commodity type identifications stored in the second registration information, store the selected commodity type identification in first registration information, the first registration information identifying commodities to be purchased.

Abstract: A digital scale includes a lift apparatus configured to lift a top tray of the scale off weight sensors of the scale in order to prevent any potential damage and/or malfunction of the weight sensors due to excessive weight on the tray and/or due to a sudden drop of a heavy item onto the top tray. During a transaction at a terminal, an expected weight of a scanned item and/or a current weight of existing items on the tray is used to determine whether the tray is to be lifted off the sensors by the lift apparatus before the item is placed on the tray. Once the tray is lifted off the sensors and the scanned item is placed onto the top tray, the lift apparatus may slowly lower the tray back onto the weight sensors to enable a weight measurement of the item to be recorded.
