摘要： Under the present invention a transaction is processed and analyzed for potential fraud or error. Specifically, a description of a (proposed) transaction is accessed. Among other things, the description contains an expected set of events (e.g., derived from historical data). As the transaction is being performed a set of multimedia devices will record the same. The multimedia signal(s) from the set of devices will be analyzed to determine what event(s) actually took place. The actual event(s) will be compared to the expected event(s) to determine if any deviation/difference exists. If there is a difference, and it is beyond a predetermined tolerance, a notification can be generated. Regardless, a log of the activities will be kept.

摘要： Aspects of the present invention provide an approach for deterring checkout fraud comprising a camera (e.g., still, video, etc.) that is located near (overhead) a scanner used to scan a barcode of an item being purchased. Specifically, the barcode of the item is scanned and an image of the item is recorded. It is then determined whether the identity of the item as determined based on the barcode is consistent with its appearance as determined from the image. If not, a discrepancy is registered. It is then determined whether the discrepancy is due to fraud (e.g., theft) or device error. In the case of the latter, the system can be updated to prevent a repeat of the error. In either event, the scan, the image and a shopping event corresponding to the scan and image can be logged for future analysis and/or learning.
摘要翻译：本发明的方面提供了一种用于阻止结帐欺诈的方法，其包括位于扫描器附近（开销）用于扫描待购买物品的条形码的相机（例如静止图像，视频等）。具体地，扫描项目的条形码并记录该项目的图像。然后，确定基于条形码确定的物品的身份是否与从图像确定的外观一致。如果不是，则注册差异。然后确定差异是否是由于欺诈（例如盗窃）或设备错误引起的。在后者的情况下，可以更新系统以防止重复错误。在任一情况下，可以记录与扫描和图像相对应的扫描，图像和购物事件，以便将来进行分析和/或学习。

摘要： The present invention provides an approach for determining a state of a shopping receptacle. Specifically, under the present approach, an image capture device (e.g., camera) is positioned at the checkout station and/or on the shopping receptacle. The device will capture at least one image of the shopping receptacle during the checkout process and/or when the customer or checkout clerk indicates that the transaction is ready for payment (e.g., all items have been scanned or rung through). Using such image(s), a model for an empty receptacle and a knowledgebase of non-shopping items that may remain in the shopping receptacle, it is determined whether the receptacle is empty. If not, an alarm or other notification will be activated and the events can be logged.
摘要翻译：本发明提供了一种用于确定购物容器的状态的方法。具体地说，在目前的方法下，图像拍摄装置（例如，照相机）位于结帐台和/或购物容器上。该设备将在结帐过程期间和/或当客户或结帐店员指示交易准备好付款时（例如，所有项目已被扫描或横过）捕获购物容器的至少一个图像。使用这样的图像，空容器的模型和可能留在购物容器中的非购物物品的知识库，确定容器是否为空。如果没有，则会激活警报或其他通知，并记录事件。

摘要： The present invention provides a solution for controlling checkout throughput. Specifically, under the present invention a set of attributes of an item will be obtained. An analysis of the set of attributes will then be performed to determine whether an inconsistency exists based on a tolerance threshold. Such analysis can include, for example, comparing the weight of the item to its expected weight. This can help determine if a mistake has been made or fraud has been committed. Whether an inconsistency is observed is based on a tolerance threshold. For example, a certain deviation (i.e., the tolerance threshold) from an expected value could be allowed to could be allowed to reduce errors during the checkout process and thereby increase checkout throughput. As such, the present invention allows the tolerance threshold to be tuned based on a desired checkout throughput.
摘要翻译：本发明提供了一种用于控制检验吞吐量的解决方案。具体地说，在本发明中，将获得一组物品的属性。然后将执行对该组属性的分析，以基于公差阈值确定是否存在不一致。这种分析可以包括例如将物品的重量与其预期重量进行比较。这可以帮助确定是否发生了错误或已经犯了欺诈。观察到不一致是基于公差阈值。例如，可以允许从期望值的一定偏差（即，容限阈值）被允许在结算过程期间减少错误，从而增加结帐吞吐量。因此，本发明允许基于期望的结算吞吐量来调整公差阈值。

摘要： Under the present invention, a single, overall alarm for an entire set of shopping items will be used for any and all discrepancies. The metric used for creating an alarm for the overall set of shopping items can be based on any one of the following candidate policies: if at least one item generated an alarm; if some fixed number of items generated an alarm; if some threshold discrepancy metric got exceed; if basket size is larger than certain threshold cash value and the alarm exceeded certain threshold alarm rate; a randomly generated alarm (e.g., random audit); the customer's identity and track record (e.g., loyalty card); and/or any combination of the above. Regardless, if an overall alarm is generated one or more of the following actions can be taken: no action send the customer to customer service; appropriately record customer track record (e.g., loyalty card) when customer identity is available; audit the customer at the “shop exit; and/or any combination of thereof.

摘要： The present invention provides an approach for rewarding customers for use of self-checkout stations and, optionally, for being self-sufficient in such use by not requiring retailer (employee) assistance. Specifically, the under the present invention, a set of service choices made by a customer during purchasing transactions are tracked. Such service choices include whether the customer elected to use self-checkout stations. In addition, a frequency of assistance needed by the customer during the purchasing transactions will be tracked. Such tracking can be accomplished using any known technology including the use of the customer loyalty cards that are assigned to specific customers. In any event, a reward can be offered to the customer if the customer elected to use self-checkout stations to complete at least a subset of the purchasing transactions, and/or if the frequency of assistance needed by the customer during the purchasing transactions fell below a predetermined threshold.

摘要： The present invention provides portable-device based store checkout. Specifically, a portable device is configured for store checkout. When the shopper obtains an item, he/she scans its barcode and captures its image using the portable device. The identity of the item as determined based on the barcode is compared with its appearance as determined based on the image. If the two are consistent with one another, the item is added to an inventory of items. The shopper can checkout by linking (e.g., porting) the portable device to a checkout station. The linking will cause the inventory of items to be made known to the checkout station, which will arrange payment using the portable device. Optionally, as an additional validation, the shopping receptacle can be weighed at the checkout station to make sure it reasonably meets an expected weight determined based on the inventory.
摘要翻译：本发明提供了基于便携式设备的商店结帐。具体地，便携式设备被配置用于存储检验。当购物者获得物品时，他/她扫描其条形码并使用便携式设备拍摄其图像。将基于条形码确定的物品的身份与根据图像确定的外观进行比较。如果两者相互保持一致，则将项目添加到项目清单中。购物者可以通过将便携式设备链接（例如，移植）到结帐站来检出。链接将导致结帐库的物品库存已知，这将使用便携式设备来安排付款。可选地，作为额外的验证，可以在结帐台对购物容器进行称重，以确保其合理地满足基于库存确定的预期重量。
