A method for triggering image processing based on vibration data analysis may include receiving vibration data captured using a vibration sensor mounted to a shelving unit including; analyzing the vibration data to determine whether a vibration is a result of an engagement of a person with a retail shelf; in response to a determination that the vibration is the result of the engagement of the person with the retail shelf, triggering analysis of an image of captured after the beginning of the engagement of the person with the retail shelf; in response to a determination that the vibration is not the result of the engagement of the person with the retail shelf, forgoing triggering the analysis of the image; and providing information based on a result of the analysis of the image.

A method for using vibration data analysis and image analysis for robust action recognition in a retail environment may include receiving vibration data captured using1 one or more vibration sensors mounted to a shelving unit including at least one retail shelf; receiving at least one image captured using at least one image sensor from a retail environment including the shelving unit; analyzing the vibration data and the at least one image to detect an action performed in the retail environment; and providing information based on the detected action.

A system and method for management of automobile recalls functions through a unified recall campaign user interface (UI) web-accessible to an original equipment manufacturer (OEM). The system utilizes both first-party (OEM) data and state registration data to identify vehicle owners by vehicle identification number (VIN). Enhancement data is used to provide contact information, whereby vehicle owners may be contacted concerning a recall repair through multiple channels. The system utilizes feedback during a recall and from previous recalls, as well as segmentation of vehicle owners by behavioral and attitudinal parameters, to optimize the channel(s) and message(s) used in order to maximize recall response. The system further utilizes various feeds of information concerning the recall to optimize recall repair parts distribution among dealers and dealer workforce utilization.

A recalled product detection and notification system may include a camera device positioned to capture image data of consumable products and communicate associated image data via the cloud. The system may also include a recalled products server that may include a memory for storing product category data associated with recalled products and product identifier data associated with the recalled products, and a processor coupled to the memory. The processor may be configured to communicate via the cloud with the camera device and download image data therefrom, and determine if the image data corresponds to a product category of recalled products based upon the product category data, and when so, generate a first user notification. The processor may also be configured to determine if the image data corresponds to a recalled product based upon the product identifier data, and when so, generate a second user notification.

Methods for sharing and transferring music files using near field communication (NFC), which include receiving an NFC ID from an NFC chip using an NFC enabled device, authenticating the received NFC ID with a server system using the NFC enabled device, and upon authentication, permitting the NFC enabled device to temporarily stream or purchase music files.

Embodiments described herein are directed to computer-implemented methods, systems, and computer program products for calculating a metric using natural language processing tokens. A non-limiting example of the computer-implemented method includes parsing, by a processing device, user content using a natural language processing technique to extract tokens. The method further includes filtering, by the processing device, the tokens relating to a natural language processing criterion. The method further includes calculating, by the processing device, a metric based at least in part on the filtered tokens. The method further includes determining, by the processing device, whether to take an action by applying the metric to a set of rules. The method further includes taking the action responsive to determining to take the action.

The invention is a platform that defines a new way and method of notifying and connecting a customer to a business with a recalled product and accelerating the refund, replacement or the fix of the product to the customer. The invention comprises processed data algorithms and techniques along with new extensions that integrate with existing systems or software. The platform facilitates the communication between users and manufacturers to provide customers with their refund, fix or replacement for defective products through a resolution center.

A device receives receipt data of a receipt of a transaction for a product, and processes, using a term matching technique, the receipt data to identify transaction information including a transaction date and product information. The device determines that the transaction caused a user to be covered by or eligible for a warranty for the product, generates a tag identifying the product, and associates, using a data structure, the product information, data identifying the warranty, and the tag with a record of the transaction that is accessible via a program that allows the user to search for the receipt or terms of the warranty. The device performs actions associated with assisting the user in managing the warranty, such as by reminding the user of an expiration date of the warranty and/or by assisting the user in submitting a claim based on the warranty.

An apparatus for delivering information to a mobile computing device regarding a packaged food product includes an information delivery computing device comprising a processor and non-transitory memory. The non-transitory memory includes executable instructions that when executed by the processor cause the information delivery computing device to send information about one or more characteristics of the packaged food product to the mobile computing device in response to a request from the mobile computing device. The request from the mobile computing device can be received by the information delivery computing device when a customer scans a QR code on the packaged food product with a camera on the mobile computing device.

An autonomous and non-autonomous vehicle tire imaging and inspection system and methods thereof installed onboard a vehicle providing frequent status for inner and outer tire sidewalls, tire tread wear and tread depth, recorded in memory, transmitted to an onboard diagnostics unit, displayed on a dashboard and optionally transmitted to a network. Autonomous and non-autonomous vehicle vehicles may require passing a safety compliance inspection before driving and receive an insurance compliance approval to operate said vehicles.
