Abstract

Systems and methods described herein are for transmitting a command to a remote system. A processing system determines the identity of the user based on the unique identifier and the biometric information. Thereafter, a sensor detects a gesture performed by the user. The sensor is configured to detect the gesture performed by the user when the user is located within the detectable range of the wireless antenna. The processing system determines an action associated with the detected gesture based on the identity of the user and sends a command to a remote computer system to cause it to perform the action associated with the detected gesture.

Claims (29)

1. A computer-implemented method comprising:

providing, via a first sensor, a unique identifier for a user device that is associated with a user when the user device is located within a detectable range of the first sensor;

detecting, via a second sensor, biometric information for a plurality of customers located within a detectable range of the second sensor, wherein the second sensor is configured to detect the biometric information for each of the plurality of customers when the plurality of customers are located within the detectable range of the second sensor;

determining, using a processing system, an identity of the user based on the detected biometric information and the unique identifier, wherein at least a portion of the detected biometric information matches biometric parameters of the user and the unique identifier;

after the determining of the identity of the user, detecting, via the second sensor, a gesture performed by the user, wherein the gesture is directed to an item that is located within the detectable range of the second sensor and the gesture includes one or more of accelerometer data from the user device, gyroscope data from the user device, and a video of the gesture from the second sensor;

identifying, using the processing system, an action associated with the detected gesture within a user-defined gesture table based on the identity of the user; and

sending, using the processing system, a command to a remote computer system, the command instructing the remote computer system to perform the action for the item, the action corresponding to the detected gesture from the user-defined gesture table.

2. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , further comprising modifying an account data of the user corresponding to the unique identifier in response to the remote computer system performing the action for the item.

3. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , further comprising, after the determining of the identity of the user, determining a location of the user within a store, the store including the first sensor and the second sensor.

4. A computer-implemented system comprising:

a memory; and

one or more processors disposed in communication with the memory and configured to issue processing instructions stored in the memory to:

provide, via a first sensor, a unique identifier for a user device that is associated with a user when the user device is located within a detectable range of the sensor;

detect, via a second sensor, biometric information for a plurality of customers located within a detectable range of the second sensor, wherein the second sensor is configured to detect the biometric information for each of the plurality of customers when the plurality of customers are located within the detectable range of the second sensor;

determine, using a processing system, an identity of the user based on the detected biometric information and the unique identifier, wherein at least a portion of the detected biometric information matches biometric parameters of the user and the unique identifier;

after issuing processing instructions to determine of the identity of the user, detect, via the second sensor, a gesture performed by the user, wherein the gesture is directed to an item that is located within the detectable range of the second sensor and the gesture includes one or more of accelerometer data from the user device, gyroscope data from the user device, and a video of the gesture from the second sensor;

identify, using the processing system, an action associated with the detected gesture within a user-defined gesture table based on the identity of the user; and

send, using the processing system, a command to a remote computer system, the command instructing the remote computer system to perform the action for the item, the action corresponding to the detected gesture from the user-defined gesture table.

5. The computer-implemented system of claim 4 , further comprising processing instructions to modify an account data of the user in response to the remote computer system performing the action for the item.

6. The computer-implemented system of claim 4 , further comprising processing instructions to determine a location of the user within a store, the store including the first sensor and the second sensor, after issuing processing instructions to determine the identity of the user.

7. A processor-readable non-transitory medium storing processor-issuable instructions, said instructions being configured to:

provide, via a first sensor, a unique identifier for a user device that is associated with a user when the user device is located within a detectable range of the first sensor;

detect, via a second sensor, biometric information for a plurality of customers located within a detectable range of the second sensor, wherein the second sensor is configured to detect the biometric information for each of the plurality of customers when the plurality of customers are located within the detectable range of the second sensor;

determine, using a processing system, an identity of the user based on the detected biometric information and the unique identifier, wherein at least a portion of the detected biometric information matches biometric parameters of the user and the unique identifier;

detect, via the second sensor, a gesture performed by the user after determining the identity of the user, wherein the gesture is directed to an item that is located within the detectable range of the second sensor and the gesture includes one or more of accelerometer data from the user device, gyroscope data from the user device, and a video of the gesture from the second sensor;

identify, using the processing system, an action associated with the detected gesture within a user-defined gesture table based on the identity of the user; and

send, using the processing system, a command to a remote computer system, the command instructing the remote computer system to perform the action for the item, the action corresponding to the detected gesture from the user-defined gesture table.

8. The processor-readable non-transitory medium of claim 7 , further comprising instructions to modify an account data of the user corresponding to the unique identifier in response to the remote computer system performing the action for the item.

9. The processor-readable non-transitory medium of claim 7 , further comprising instructions to determine a location of the user within a store in response to the instructions to determine the identity of the user, the store including the first sensor and the second sensor.
