Problems solved by technology

[0002] Irregular scans, such as missed scans or incorrect scans, have caused significant losses to retailers and other issues (such as incorrect inventory information), which have implications for supply chain and business
Retail systems do not work properly with non-canonical scans, whether intentional or unintentional
While some attentive store associates or self-checkout customers may notice non-canonical scans, more often than not, non-canonical scans can easily slip through retail systems without being noticed
Currently, especially with the growth of popular self-service retail systems, retailers lack effective technical solutions to identify, correct or display non-standard scans

Abstract

Aspects of the present application include techniques for detecting non-canonical scans, particularly when a retail system fails to collect real information of a product. The disclosed retail system retrieves an image covering a particular area, such as an image of a specified scan area. Also, the disclosed retail system detects the product from these images using a neural network and tracks the movement trajectory of the product in the particular region. A non-canonical scan may be detected when a tracked product in the image does not match a product collected by a scanner of the retail system.

Description

Background technique [0001] Barcodes and RFID are two popular technologies commonly used in the retail industry to read and collect data and are widely used at POS (point of sale) or in commerce for asset tracking and inventory tracking. Barcodes were originally developed in a linear or one-dimensional format. Later, two-dimensional variants appeared, such as Quick Response Codes for quick read and faster storage functions. QR codes are usually scanned by special optical scanners known as barcode readers, and such scanning usually requires line-of-sight visibility. RFID, however, uses radio waves to send information from an RFID tag to an RFID reader. RFID tags typically contain a unique identification; therefore, an RFID tag reader is able to scan multiple RFID tags simultaneously without line-of-sight visibility. [0002] Non-standard scans, such as missed scans or incorrect scans, have caused significant losses to retailers and other problems (such as incorrect inventory...
