Abstract

Embodiments disclosed herein generally related to a method and system for customizing a customer experience. In one embodiment, a method is provided herein. A computing system receives from a computing device positioned in a facility one or more video streams. The one or more video streams capture a customer in the facility. The computing system identifying an identity of the customer by parsing the one or more video streams to identify one or more audio or visual cues of the customer. The computing system determines, based on the identity of the customer, that the customer has one or more previous transactions at the facility. The computing system predicts, based on the one or more previous transactions, a new transaction at the facility. The computing system notifies the computing device positioned in the facility in preparation of the new transaction.

Claims (64)

1. A method of customizing a customer experience, comprising:

generating, by a computing system, a prediction model for predicting customer transactions by learning, via one or more machine learning models, a customer's spending habits at a facility;

receiving one or more first video streams captured by a first camera positioned at a first location proximate to the facility, the one or more first video streams comprising at least one customer;

identifying an identity of the at least one customer by parsing the one or more first video streams to identify one or more audio or visual cues of the at least one customer;

predicting, using the prediction model, a new transaction at the facility;

confirming that the at least one customer remains in the facility by identifying the at least one customer in one or more second video streams captured by a second camera positioned at a second location proximate to the facility; and

in response to confirming that the at least one customer remains in the facility, notifying a computing device positioned in the facility in preparation of the new transaction.

2. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

determining that the at least one customer has pre-authorized payment from a customer account; and

notifying the computing device positioned in the facility of the pre-authorized payment.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein generating, by the computing system, the prediction model for predicting customer transactions by learning, via the one or more machine learning models, the customer's spending habits at the facility comprises:

identifying one or more previous transactions at the facility to learn a transaction pattern at the facility.

4. The method of claim 3 , further comprising:

identifying a second one or more previous transactions at other facilities to learn a second transaction pattern among the other facilities.

5. The method of claim 3 , further comprising:

for each previous transaction of the one or more previous transactions at the facility, identifying a day of a week and time of day each previous transaction occurred.

6. The method of claim 1 , wherein predicting, using the prediction model, the new transaction at the facility comprises:

identifying a current day of a week;

identifying a current time of the current day; and

generating a prediction based on the current day of the week and the current time of the current day.

7. The method of claim 1 , wherein the second location is proximate a point-of-sale terminal.

8. A system, comprising:

a processor; and

a memory having programming instructions stored thereon, which, when executed by the processor, performs one or more operations comprising:

generating a prediction model for predicting customer transactions by learning, via one or more machine learning models, a customer's spending habits at a facility;

receiving one or more first video streams captured by a first camera positioned at a first location proximate to the facility, the one or more first video streams comprising at least one customer;

identifying an identity of the at least one customer by parsing the one or more first video streams to identify one or more audio or visual cues of the at least one customer;

predicting, using the prediction model, a new transaction at the facility;

confirming that the at least one customer remains in the facility by identifying the at least one customer in one or more second video streams captured by a second camera positioned at a second location proximate to the facility; and

in response to confirming that the at least one customer remains in the facility, notifying a computing device positioned in the facility in preparation of the new transaction.

9. The system of claim 8 , wherein the one or more operations further comprise:

determining that the at least one customer has pre-authorized payment from a customer account; and

notifying the computing device positioned in the facility of the pre-authorized payment.

10. The system of claim 8 , wherein generating the prediction model for predicting customer transactions by learning, via the one or more machine learning models, the customer's spending habits at the facility comprises:

identifying one or more previous transactions at the facility to learn a transaction pattern at the facility.

11. The system of claim 10 , further comprising:

identifying a second one or more previous transactions at other facilities to learn a second transaction pattern among the other facilities.

12. The system of claim 10 , further comprising:

for each previous transaction of the one or more previous transactions at the facility, identifying a day of a week and time of day each previous transaction occurred.

13. The system of claim 10 , wherein predicting, using the prediction model, the new transaction at the facility comprises:

identifying a current day of a week;

identifying a current time of the current day; and

generating a prediction based on the current day of the week and the current time of the current day.

14. The system of claim 10 , wherein the second location is proximate a point-of-sale terminal.

15. A non-transitory computer readable medium including one or more instructions which, when executed by one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to perform operations comprising:

generating, by a computing system, a prediction model for predicting customer transactions by learning, via one or more machine learning models, a customer's spending habits at a facility;

receiving one or more first video streams captured by a first camera positioned at a first location proximate to the facility, the one or more first video streams comprising at least one customer;

identifying an identity of the at least one customer by parsing the one or more first video streams to identify one or more audio or visual cues of the at least one customer;

predicting, using the prediction model, a new transaction at the facility;

confirming that the at least one customer remains in the facility by identifying the at least one customer in one or more second video streams captured by a second camera positioned at a second location proximate to the facility; and

in response to confirming that the at least one customer remains in the facility, notifying a computing device positioned in the facility in preparation of the new transaction.

16. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 15 , further comprising:

determining that the at least one customer has pre-authorized payment from a customer account; and

notifying the computing device positioned in the facility of the pre-authorized payment.

17. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 15 , wherein generating, by the computing system, the prediction model for predicting customer transactions by learning, via the one or more machine learning models, the customer's spending habits at the facility comprises:

identifying one or more previous transactions at the facility to learn a transaction pattern at the facility.

18. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 17 , further comprising:

identifying a second one or more previous transactions at other facilities to learn a second transaction pattern among the other facilities.

19. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 17 , further comprising:

for each previous transaction of the one or more previous transactions at the facility, identifying a day of a week and time of day each previous transaction occurred.

20. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 15 , wherein predicting, using the prediction model, the new transaction at the facility comprises:

identifying a current day of a week;

identifying a current time of the current day; and

generating a prediction based on the current day of the week and the current time of the current day.
