An electronic device, computer program product, and method autonomously verifies accuracy of delivery of purchased items. The electronic device: receives information of a first order requested from a source, including a delivery address for the first order; captures a first image of one or more items included in the first order at the source for delivery; subsequently captures, a second image comprising all items that were delivered contemporaneously with presenting the first order at the delivery address; and initiates a comparison of the delivered items within the second image with the one or more items within the first image. In response to identification of a material discrepancy between the delivered items in the second image and the items in the first image, the processor presents a notification indicating the material discrepancy and presents at least one corrective action required to be taken to address the material discrepancy.

An information processing system includes a notification unit that notifies a recipient who receives a package, of reference information regarding a package of another recipient corresponding to registration information that is registered in advance by the recipient.

A method is disclosed, inter alia, performed by a first apparatus or by a component thereof. The first apparatus comprises a plurality of register compartments. The method includes receiving a shipment, in particular a letter shipment. The method includes checking whether the shipment is to be placed in a register compartment of the plurality of register compartments. The method includes accepting the shipment into a register compartment if the checking has concluded that the shipment is to be accepted into a register compartment of the plurality of register compartments and rejecting the shipment if the checking has concluded that the shipment should not be accepted into a register compartment of the plurality of register compartments. In addition, corresponding apparatuses, systems and computer programs for the respective performance and/or control of the disclosed method are disclosed.

Approaches for automated batch recall assessment are described. The approach includes identifying product batches having a plurality of faulty products manufactured by the organization. For each of the identified product batches, a plurality of quality concerns raised for faulty products manufactured as part of the product batch are quantified. Accordingly, for each product batch, the quantified values of each of the plurality of quality concerns is compared with a corresponding pre-determined threshold count value to enable determination of a quality risk level associated with the product batch. Based on the quality risk level, a batch recall assessment is performed to determine whether to recall product batches having the plurality of faulty products. Thus, the described approaches provide an automated technique for early detection of problematic batches, facilitating quick decision-making on potential batch recalls and improving overall quality management in manufacturing processes.

An electronic device and method provide automated creation of shipments using image-capture-based information gathering and electronic scanning for ingesting data analyzed by a processor and an AI engine to generate relevant shipment detail that provides enhanced security with the shipment lifecycle, including during shipment creation, pickup from an origination point, route selection, and subsequent transportation of the shipment to its intended destination. One aspect includes presenting an image capture user interface that prompts image-based entry of one or more shipment details and security details. In response to detecting capture of an image or video of a shipping entity, the device/AI: assigns the captured image content to the shipment; processes the captured image content to determine relevant data for inclusion in/with the shipment; and generates a shipment record to include a combination of user entered data, the captured image content, and relevant data determined from the captured image content.
