Patent granted for facilitating camera system inspection in retail
A recently granted patent (Publication Number: US11756095B2) describes a method and system for facilitating camera system inspection in an extended reality (XR) environment. The invention involves using a non-transitory computer-readable medium with instructions that, when executed by a processor, perform the method.
The method begins by receiving camera location information for multiple cameras deployed in a retail store. This information indicates the actual position of each camera. Additionally, for each camera, at least one camera status indicator is received. These indicators can convey information such as camera frame rate, resolution, or angular direction.
Using the received camera location information and status indicators, a digital signal is generated. This signal is then provided to an XR device, which displays a visual representation of the camera status indicators for each camera relative to their actual positions in the retail store. The visual representation includes a two-dimensional map view of the camera field of view, providing a visual representation of the camera's perspective within the store.
Furthermore, the patent describes additional features of the method. Object location information associated with a physical object in the retail store can be received and used to determine the camera field of view. Based on this information, the system can provide recommendations to relocate the object in order to extend the camera's field of view. The recommendation may be determined based on the object type associated with the physical object.
The system can also display virtual position indicators of the actual camera positions in the XR environment. Additionally, it can provide a visual indication of physical portions of the retail store that are not covered by the cameras. The selection of these uncovered portions can be based on factors such as product type, category, planogram, sales data, or price associated with the products in those areas.
In summary, the granted patent outlines a method and system for facilitating camera system inspection in an XR environment. By providing visual representations of camera status indicators and field of view, along with additional features like object location-based recommendations and virtual position indicators, the invention aims to enhance camera system management and surveillance in retail stores.
