REPORTING SYSTEM, METHOD, AND RECORDING MEDIUM - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240127303 titled 'REPORTING SYSTEM, METHOD, AND RECORDING MEDIUM
Simplified Explanation
The patent application abstract describes a reporting system that can estimate a customer's age from an image captured in a shop, detect actions related to age-restricted products, and report on the retrieval of such products based on the estimated age.
- Acquire customer image in a shop
- Estimate customer's age from the image
- Detect actions related to age-restricted products
- Report retrieval of age-restricted products based on estimated age and detection results
Potential Applications
This technology could be applied in retail settings to monitor and control access to age-restricted products, such as alcohol or tobacco.
Problems Solved
This technology helps in enforcing age restrictions on certain products, ensuring compliance with regulations and preventing underage individuals from accessing them.
Benefits
The system provides a more efficient and accurate way to verify a customer's age and monitor their interactions with age-restricted products in a retail environment.
Potential Commercial Applications
"Enhancing Age-Restricted Product Monitoring in Retail Environments"
Possible Prior Art
There may be existing systems that use facial recognition technology to estimate age or monitor customer behavior in retail settings, but the specific combination of features described in this patent application may be novel.
Unanswered Questions
How does the system handle variations in lighting or customer appearance that may affect age estimation accuracy?
The patent abstract does not provide details on how the system accounts for potential factors that could impact the accuracy of age estimation from customer images.
What measures are in place to protect customer privacy and data security in the system?
The abstract does not mention any specific safeguards or protocols for ensuring the privacy and security of customer data collected and processed by the reporting system.
Original Abstract Submitted
a reporting system according to an aspect of the present disclosure includes: at least one memory configured to store instructions; and at least one processor configured to execute the instructions to: acquire a customer image obtained by capturing an image of a customer in a shop; estimate an age of the customer from the customer image; detect an action related to retrieval of an age-restricted product displayed in the shop; and report retrieval of the age-restricted product by the customer based on an estimated age of the customer and a result of the detection.
