One variation of a method includes: accessing an image of an inventory structure captured by a robotic system while navigating through a store; detecting a slot in the inventory structure in the image; based on features extracted from the image, identifying a set of product units of a first product type occupying the slot; accessing a target product type assigned to the slot by a store representation; based on features extracted from the image, identifying an electronic shelf label depicted in the image, corresponding to the slot, and advertising the target product type; and, in response to the first product type differing from the target product type assigned to the slot, accessing a set of product data corresponding to the first product type from a product database, and, transmitting the set of product data to the electronic shelf label for rendering within an electronic display of the electronic shelf label.

Embodiments described herein provide a system, method, and non-transitory computer-readable medium of outputting digital content. In one embodiment, a terminal receives a playlist of digital content to be output at a display at an energy-dispensing station. The playlist of digital content includes items of digital content. The terminal receives data associated with the plurality of items of digital content and identifying one or more items of digital content from the items of digital content in the playlist of digital content based on data associated with the items of digital content. The terminal removes unidentified items of digital content from the plurality of items of digital content in the playlist of digital content. The terminal causes output of the playlist of digital content including the one or more items of digital content at the display at the energy-dispensing station.

Embodiments described herein provide a system, method, and non-transitory computer-readable medium of outputting digital content. In one embodiment, a server can identify and modify digital content based on the characteristics of a given terminal.

A method and system for receiving digital artifacts from a management server. The method includes sending a request for a digital artifact from a mobile application to the management server for display within a specific mobile application generated screen, receiving the digital artifact from the management server, and displaying the digital artifact with the specific mobile application generated screen.

In an embodiment, methods for managing a point of sale (POS) device are provided. A web server may receive a request to associate the POS device with a merchant account associated with one or more physical locations. The request may include an identification code of the merchant account. The web server may receive an initialization message from the POS device and the initialization message may indicate a successful login at the POS device. A selected physical location may be received and linked to the POS device based on the identification code of the merchant account and responsive to receiving the selected physical location. An inventory of the selected physical location may then be synced to the POS device.

A contextual services delivery system that may deliver different contextual services to a smartphone and/or a POS terminal in response to a context environment, which can provide a user with a customized contextual services experience. In one embodiments, the system may be configured to identify a mobile device of a user entering a store location based on a POS terminal detecting the mobile device. The system can cause a display of an inventory of products for the store location and receive a selection of a product. A payment amount for the product can be displayed on the mobile device. An additional product can be selected based on a context characteristic of the product. An update for the additional product can be displayed on the mobile device. An acceptance of the additional product from the mobile device can be received. The payment amount is modified at the POS terminal.

In an embodiment, methods for managing a point of sale (POS) device are provided. A web server may be configured to grant access of a display of the POS device to the user device. The POS device may display a graphical user interface that includes a menu for controlling the display of the POS device. These steps may be in response to a first request. In response to a second request, the POS device may transmit a push notification to the user device. The push notification includes a second menu including a command for controlling an operation of the POS device.

A system may include a memory and a processor in communication with the memory. The processor may be configured to perform operations. The operations may include engaging a user in a primary activity; the primary activity may include a plurality of stages. The operations may include compiling at least one risk-reward score for an advertisement placement of an advertisement for at least one of the plurality of stages. The operations may include identifying a recommended stage for the advertisement; the recommended stage may be based on the risk-reward score. The operations may include displaying the advertisement to the user at the recommended stage.

According to one embodiment, a customer guidance system includes a camera, a checkout apparatus, and a store server. The store server has a storage unit, a communication unit, and a control unit configured to identify and store a degree of congestion for different regions of the store, determine a current status of a customer in the store, select a region of the store as a suggested destination for the customer based on congestion degrees and the customer's current status. The control unit generates a prompt including the suggested destination and inputs the prompt to a generative AI trained to generate a customer guidance response for guiding the customer to the suggested destination. The customer guidance response is then supplied to the customer.

A face image of a customer A viewing an advertisement displayed on an advertisement display is captured by a camera, and a facial feature amount is acquired from the captured face image in a terminal device. A face image of a customer B purchased a commodity at a POS terminal is captured by a camera, and a facial feature amount is acquired from the captured face image in a terminal device. When it is determined that these customers are the same person based on comparison result of the facial feature amounts, the commodity viewed on the advertisement display and the commodity purchased at the POS terminal are specified. Then, it is determined whether these commodities are the same commodity. If the commodities are the same commodity, it is determined that the advertisement display is effective.
