20130325832 | PRESENTING SEARCH RESULTS WITH CONCURRENTLY VIEWABLE TARGETS - A user of a device may formulate a search query that results in a presentation of search results set, and a selection of a search result may cause the device to present the target of the selected search result. However, in many scenarios, the target replaces or overlaps the search results set, and a user wishing to review the search results set or select a different search result must re-execute the search query or toggle between the search results set and respective targets. Instead, the search results set may be presented concurrently with a target of a selected search result. Upon selection of a search result, the device may be configured to resize the search results set to a condensed search results region, and present the target of the selected search result in a target region that is concurrently viewable with and not overlapping the condensed search results region. | 12-05-2013 |

20080309389 | SYSTEM FOR PREVENTING SHOPPING CART PUSH-OUT THEFT - A system and method for preventing push-out theft includes a network of electronic devices that are collectively operable in either a “safe restart” mode” or in an “operational” mode. The network is installed in a shopping area and prevents shopping cart removal from the area when in the “operational” mode. It does this by initially issuing egress permits to every shopping cart. The network then selectively removes egress permits when a shopping cart enters a selected section of the shopping area. Another egress permit is issued when the shopping cart successfully passes a cashier location. Otherwise, a sentry beacon will disable a shopping cart with no egress permit, before it can leave the shopping area. The network defaults to a permit issuing mode whenever a component of the system becomes inoperable. | 12-18-2008 |

When theft is suspected, a camera captures an image of the cart while an indicator at the checkout location alerts the cashier to inspect the cart for unremoved goods. Specifically, the controller creates a signal when the end-weight exceeds the tare weight to instruct the camera to capture the image and to activate the indicator to alert the cashier. The controller may include or be integrated into a network accessible by store management or outside security advisors to examine the performance of cashiers and to determine possible patterns or profiles for theft. | 03-05-2009 |
20090076895 | SHOPPING CART ACCOUNTABILITY USING COUPON INCENTIVES - A system and method encourage a shopper to return a shopping cart to a corral at a store.

Further, the system includes a scanner at the point-of-sale that recognizes the shopper and records the goods purchased by the shopper. During operation of the system, a controller monitors the goods purchased by the shopper and determines suggested goods for subsequent purchase by the shopper. If the shopper returns the cart to the cart corral, the controller provides the shopper with coupons for the suggested goods. In order to provide the shopper with the coupons for purchase of the suggested goods, the system may include a coupon dispenser mounted on the cart or on the cart corral. | 03-19-2009 |
20090268941 | VIDEO MONITOR FOR SHOPPING CART CHECKOUT - A system ensures payment for the purchase of merchandise carried through a checkout aisle on the lower tray of a shopping cart.

Further, the system includes a sensor that determines when a cart is positioned at the checkout aisle. The system also includes a camera for creating an image of the physical structure of the tray and transmitting the image to the controller. The controller includes a means for activating the embedded program to compare the image with the virtual structure. As a result of the comparison, the controller determines whether merchandise is on the physical structure of the tray. During the comparison, the controller removes the virtual structure from the image. | 10-29-2009 |

When signing up for a customer loyalty card, a shopper is invited to participate in an incentive program. The incentive program provides more valuable benefits to the shopper compared to customers who do not opt-in to the incentive program. More valuable benefits are awarded in exchange for the shopper agreeing to an enhanced level of monitoring as part of the monitoring schedule used while the shopper is in the store. Detectors communicate shopper and cart information to a controller and a computer when the shopper retrieves a cart from a cart corral. Upon completion of the monitoring schedule, the system provides the shopper with various benefits under the incentive program as long as the shopper has opted-in to the incentive program. | 05-17-2012 |
20140070004 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR INVENTORY COUNTING CONTROL - A system and method are provided for monitoring and recording the movements of a plurality of mobile units in an environment in which more than one type of mobile unit is present.

Initially, the mobile units are physically sorted by type and each emitter is read to input each mobile unit's unique tag identifier and the corresponding mobile unit type (setup data) into computer readable memory at a base station. For the system, a plurality of remote stations, each having a limited signal receiving range, are strategically positioned in the environment. Each remote station receives in-range emitter signals and communicates the occurrence of mobile unit movements (operational data) to the base station. The operational data can be used together with the setup data described above to generate mobile unit movement reports for each mobile unit type. | 03-13-2014 |
