Embodiments relate to systems and methods for identifying potential shoplifting incidents. In one embodiment, a system can receive and analyze information related to a number of items removed from a display and a number of items added to a shopping receptacle. These numbers of items can be detected by weight or load changes sensed by a sensor system, and if the counted numbers of items do not match, the system can flag nearby shopping receptacles via their unique identification numbers as potentially involved in shoplifting incidents.

A system and method for just in-time reverse logistics management directed to receiving one or more product orders associated with one or more individual SKU's; tracking one or more products SKU's through a cyclical product lifecycle, matching a product order with a product in the cyclical product lifecycle; assembly the product order based on the priority hierarchy; and shipping the product order based on the priority hierarchy.

Embodiments of the disclosure are directed to an online ordering and delivery cubicle system. In one embodiment, a device is provided. The device includes a cubicle comprising a first opening and a second opening, and a cavity disposed therein. The first opening is opposite the second opening and the second opening is adapted to receive an item to be disposed into the cavity. A sensor coupled to the cubicle detects a state of the item with respect to the cavity. The device further includes an access assembly coupled to the first opening and the sensor. The access assembly is adapted to wirelessly activate to provide authenticated access via the first opening to the item in the cavity based on the state of the item.

This specifications describes techniques for processing transactions. A card reading terminal device associated with an integrated circuit (IC) card issuer identifies an IC card associated with the IC card issuer and associated with a current transaction. The card reading terminal device determines that the IC card satisfies a predetermined credit payment condition. In response to determining that the IC card satisfies the predetermined credit payment condition, the card reading terminal device completes the current transaction. The card reading terminal device generates transaction information associated with the current transaction. The IC card issuer generates a deduction request that includes the transaction information associated with the current transaction. The IC card issuer sends the deduction request to a credit authorizer, wherein the credit authorizer registers a payment account of an IC card holder in advance. The IC card issuer performs a settlement with the credit authorizer for the current transaction.

A truck cap assembly that selectively covers a truck bed of a truck is provided. The truck cap assembly may include a cap that sets on opposing side walls of the truck; a cap door located on the cap; a latch bar located on the cap; a controller located on the cap door; and a latch release assembly which includes an actuator and a latch arm. The controller is in electrical communication with an actuator that is coupled to a latch arm. A signal from the controller activates the actuator to move the latch arm. The latch arm is releasable from the latch bar to release the cap door.

Embodiments of the disclosure enable a tailored user experience to be provided. A kiosk system includes a scanner component configured to identify biometric data; a metric component configured to communicate with the scanner component to identify user identifier data based on the biometric data; a transaction component configured to communicate with the metric component to identify a financial account corresponding to the identified user identifier data, and generate a request for authorization for a financial transaction using the identified financial account; and a dispenser component configured to communicate with the transaction component to determine whether to dispense the beverage. Aspects of the disclosure provide for tailoring a user experience based on various factors including a user metric and/or an account metric.

In a medication dispensing system, pills of different medications are stored in different chambers of a pill bottle. An assembly of a non-moving disc having holes corresponding to each chamber, a rotatable disc having a hole for dispensing pills therethrough, and a motor, dispenses the pills according to a prescribed schedule. The motor controls the rotations of the rotatable disc according to a user-specified schedule.
