    Abstract: A system includes a remotely-located server comprising a metric server adapter, a metrics application, and a communication application. The metric server adapter includes governing logic that manages an evaluation service and predefined instructions for managing metric data. The metrics application is a production application that operates in coordination with the metric server adapter. The metrics application receives an evaluation scenario causing the metrics application to retrieve historical purchase data including one or more price data sets. The metrics application obtains metric data that includes market reference price data, evaluates attributes of responsive items in the metric data to dynamically discover a difference in the attribute data, and dynamically defines transaction-specific instructions for adapting the metric data for a respective item. One or more adjustment values applied to the metric data transform the market reference price data. The metrics application generates and communicates at least one performance metric to a computing device.

    Abstract: In some arrangements, product packaging is digitally watermarked over most of its extent to facilitate high-throughput item identification at retail checkouts. Imagery captured by conventional or plenoptic cameras can be processed (e.g., by GPUs) to derive several different perspective-transformed views—further minimizing the need to manually reposition items for identification. Crinkles and other deformations in product packaging can be optically sensed, allowing such surfaces to be virtually flattened to aid identification. Piles of items can be 3D-modelled and virtually segmented into geometric primitives to aid identification, and to discover locations of obscured items. Other data (e.g., including data from sensors in aisles, shelves and carts, and gaze tracking for clues about visual saliency) can be used in assessing identification hypotheses about an item. A great variety of other features and arrangements are also detailed.

    Abstract: A system and method for providing insights into pricing strategy for a retail store, particularly for optimizing prices of fast moving, long life cycle items in the consumer package goods industries is disclosed. The system includes a computer having a display, a processor, and memory, an input device for allowing a user to interact with the computer processor and display to change one or more parameters of sales and gross margin percent (GM %) so as to determine a price for at least one item for sale and an output device for outputting new pricing information for the at least one item. The method includes steps of receiving sales and cost data for items, displaying one or more graphs of sales and GM % for a plurality of items, iteratively updating the graphs based on user selected optimization parameters and outputting new prices for the one or more items based on the optimization.

    Abstract: A real-time price management system is provided which includes a barcode, a computer system, an input device, and a display device. The barcode includes an initial price, a terminal price, a production date, and an expiration date. The computer system forms a price-time equation of merchandise by the barcode, wherein the price-time equation is defined by the initial price, the terminal price, the production date, and the expiration date. The input device scans the barcode and transfers it with a purchase date of the merchandise to the computer system, and then the computer system inputs the purchase date into the price-time equation to obtain a real-time price corresponding to the purchase date. The computer system connects to the display device and shows the real-time price on the display device.

    Abstract: Disclosed is an electronic information label that electronically shows information of products displayed in the store, and a gateway that manages electronic labels by forming a group thereof. In the present disclosure, an electronic label accesses a gateway having a small data amount to be registered therewith. The gateway includes a first communicator, a second communicator, an electronic label registerer, and a product information gateway. The electronic label registerer may register an electronic label based on whether a sum of data amounts of registered electronic labels is greater than a reference value. The product information gateway may relay product information to an electronic label via a server.The electronic label includes a communicator, a display, and a controller. The controller includes a product information display component and an electronic label registerer. The product information display component may receive product information and output the received product information to the display.
