A method for reacting to changes of items hanging on peg-hooks connected to pegboards may include: determining a location of a store shelf within a retail store; obtaining a first coverage parameter corresponding to a first product type and a second coverage parameter corresponding to a second product type; accessing a database to determine a first height of products of the first product type and a second height of products of the second product type; determining a position for placing a camera configured to capture images of at least a portion of the store shelf by analyzing the location of the store shelf, the first coverage parameter, the second coverage parameter, the first height, and the second height; and providing, to a user interface of a user device, information relating to the determined position of the camera.

Systems and methods are disclosed for recommending products or services by receiving a three-dimensional (3D) model of one or more products; performing motion tracking and understanding an environment with points or planes and estimating light or color in the environment; and projecting the product in the environment.

A solution for managing branding for an entity is provided. The solution can generate a brand style guide by analyzing electronic entity identity resources, which are representative of one or more branding strategies for the entity. The analysis can include extracting entity brand attributes from each electronic entity identity resource. Illustrative entity brand attributes can include one or more of: image data, font data, color data, or text. An ad hoc style guide, which can include at least one branding strategy for the entity can be generated and provided for presentation to a user.

In some embodiments, systems, apparatuses, and methods are provided herein useful to manage a retail space. In some embodiments, cubic product representations within the retail location are provided herein which represent the actual space and location of products within the store. Data for the retail space, such as blueprint, floorplan, and item modular data, can be merged and transformed into a central database to create the cubic product representations. Further, the cubic product representations within the retail location can be provided to users through a user interface, such as a web viewer.

A computerized method for providing a seamless transition between a first device with a first display size and a second device with a second display size during a purchasing transaction. A transaction server receives authentication information of a user from a first device. The transaction server stores the authentication information and further receives a potential authentication information from the user captured by a second device. The transaction server compares the potential authentication information to the authentication information. The transaction server determines whether the potential authentication information matches the authentication information. The server transmits a response to the second device in response to the determining. In response to the transmitted response being a successful verification of the potential authentication information, the transaction server receives a transaction request from the first device to complete the purchasing transaction at the transaction server.

A method for providing customized information through advertising in a simulation environment and associated simulation system are provided. The method includes: controlling a head mounted display (HMD) device of the simulation system to present the simulation environment and allow a user of the simulation system to see the simulation environment when wearing the HMD device on the user's head; controlling the HMD device to display a first controller in the simulation environment, to allow the user to interact with the simulation environment; controlling the HMD device to display an advertisement as a service trigger object in the simulation environment, to allow the user to trigger a specific service related to ordering commercial products in the simulation environment; and after the specific service is triggered through the service trigger object, controlling the HMD device to display a second controller in the simulation environment to match simulation contents of the specific service.

Systems, methods, and devices for producing appliances for expansion of the arch of a patient are provided. An arch expanding appliance comprises a force generating portion to apply an arch expansion force and a retention portion to hold the force generating portion on the teeth. The retention portion comprises a flexible portion and a stiff portion. The force generating portion applies a force to move teeth associated with the flexible portion, while the stiff portion resists movement of its associated teeth. The orthodontic appliances can be designed according to the specifications provided herein and manufactured using direct fabrication methods.

Selecting a first silhouette image of an item at a client machine displays a plurality of silhouette images representing aspects of the item such as style, length type and sleeve type. Selecting any of those aspects allows a server to search a database for listings of similar items that have those aspects. Concurrently selecting one or more of the images representing those aspects and one or more sizes, allows a server to search a database for listings of similar items that have those aspects and those sizes.

A website that presents a user interface that displays images of products to a user. The product images that are displayed are of products that are recently trending or popular as determined by data derived from one or more sources. Each product image is displayed without the price of the respective product and without text naming, describing or identifying the respective product. Therefore, the user interface is constructed to focus on the trending products themselves so that the user interface is clean and uncluttered, allowing customers to focus on the trending products for possible purchase.

An order management device is provided with: an input circuit that acquires information about a plurality of articles including an order candidate article and to be subjected to image recognition after the order candidate article is ordered; a determination circuit that determines, with respect to two or more different articles included in the plurality of articles, an index indicating a possibility that the articles are incorrectly recognized as the same article when the image recognition is performed, on the basis of information about the similarity among the plurality of articles in the image recognition; and an output circuit that outputs information about the determined index.
