TRANSITIONING INVENTORY SEARCH FROM LARGE GEOGRAPHIC AREA TO IMMEDIATE PERSONAL AREA - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18348134 titled 'TRANSITIONING INVENTORY SEARCH FROM LARGE GEOGRAPHIC AREA TO IMMEDIATE PERSONAL AREA
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes a method for improving the efficiency of an inventory management system.
- The method involves performing multiple inventory searches using different criteria and data sources.
- The first inventory search is performed on inventory data stored in a database using specific search criteria.
- Inventory data is received from a beacon sensor, which broadcasts data from multiple beacons.
- A second inventory search is performed by correlating the beacon data with the results of the first inventory search.
- Image data is received from a camera, and image classification is performed to determine class labels for inventory items within the camera's field-of-view.
- A third inventory search is performed by correlating the class labels with the results of the second inventory search.
- The results of the third inventory search are presented to a user.
Original Abstract Submitted
In one aspect, the present disclosure relates to a method for improved efficiency of an inventory management system. The method can include: performing a first inventory search of inventory data stored in a database using search criteria; receiving, from a beacon sensor, inventory data broadcast from a plurality of beacons; performing a second inventory search by correlating the inventory data broadcast from the plurality of beacons with results of the first inventory search; receiving image data from a camera; performing image classification on the image data to determine one or more class labels for an inventory item within the field-of-view of the camera; performing a third inventory search by correlating the class labels with results of the second inventory search; and presenting results of the third inventory search to a user.
