Abstract: This disclosure is directed to techniques in which a first user in an environment scans visual indicia associated with an item, such as a barcode, before handing the item to a second user. One or more computing devices may receive an indication of the scan, retrieve image data of the interaction from a camera within the environment, identify the user that received the item, and update a virtual cart associated with the second user to indicate addition of the item.

Abstract: Described is a system and method for presenting event information to a user and, if necessary, obtaining confirmation of different aspects (user, item, action) of the event. In some implementations, an event includes a user, an action, and an item. For example, an event may include a user picking an item from an inventory location, a user placing an item into a tote associated with the user, etc. if the aspects of the event cannot be determined with a high enough degree of confidence, a user interface may be generated and sent to the user requesting confirmation of one or more of the aspects of the event.

Abstract: Sensors in a facility obtain sensor data about a user's interaction with a fixture, such as a shelf. The sensor data may include images such as obtained from overhead cameras, weight changes from weight sensors at the shelf, and so forth. Based on the sensor data, one or more hypotheses that indicate the items and quantity may be determined and assessed. The hypotheses may be based on information such as the location of a user and where their hands are, weight changes, physical layout data indicative of where items are stowed, cart data indicative of what items are in the possession of the user, and so forth. A hypothesis having a greatest confidence value may be deemed to be representative of the user's interaction, and interaction data indicative of the item and quantity may be stored.

Abstract: This disclosure describes a system for assisting users in locating items from inventory locations and/or obtaining additional information about items. In some instances, a user may experience difficulty in locating an inventory item in a materials handling facility. By detecting one or more expressions presented by the user, an inventory management system may determine that assistance is to be provided to the user, determine and provide the appropriate assistance to the user.

Abstract: This disclosure describes a system for automatically transitioning items from a materials handling facility without delaying a user as they exit the materials handling facility. For example, while a user is located in a materials handling facility, the user may pick one or more items. The items are identified and automatically associated with the user at or near the time of the item pick. When the users enters and/or passes through a transition area, the picked items are automatically transitioned to the user without affirmative input from or delay to the user.

Abstract: This disclosure describes a system for managing inventory as it transitions into a materials handling facility, as it transitions between locations within a materials handling facility and/or as it transitions out of a materials handling facility. In some instances, a user (e.g., picker or picking agent) may retrieve an item from an inventory location and place the item into a tote. The systems described herein detect the item when it is added to or removed from the tote.

Abstract: This disclosure describes a system for tracking removal or placement of items at inventory locations with a materials handling facility. In some instances, a user may remove an item from an inventory location and the inventory management system may detect that removal and update a user item list associated with the user to include an item identifier representative of the removed item. Likewise, if the user places an item at an inventory location, the inventory management system may detect that placement and update the user item list to remove an item identifier representative of the placed item.

Abstract: Described is a system and method for efficiently tracking inventory using RFID tags (e.g., RFID tags). For example, an RFID tag reader may perform an inventory mode to receive RFID tag identifiers from RFID tags located within a range of an antenna element of the RFID tag reader. Those RFID tag identifiers may be included on an inventory table associated with the antenna element. In a second mode, the RFID tag reader may perform a targeted read. During a targeted read mode, the RFID tag reader, utilizing the antenna element, may issue a request for a selected RFID tag identified in the inventory table to reply to the request.
