Video content analysis using point of sale data
View Patent ↗In an embodiment, a method of performing video content analysis using transactional data is provided. The method comprises identifying and receiving the transactional data and a segment of video corresponding to a transaction, integrating the transactional data with the segment of video, and analyzing the integrated video to determine an action to take in relation to the transaction.
1. A method of performing video content analysis using transactional data to evaluate an employee's performance, the method comprising:
capturing video of a transaction and the scene at a point-of sale (POS) terminal;
receiving the video of the transaction as well as POS data from POS system, wherein the transactional data includes a bar code,
using the bar code information, retrieving information about a product associated with the bar code from a product information database to determine if a documentation check is required;
providing, if a documentation check is required, a segment of video corresponding to the transaction to a video analysis system analyzing, using the video analysis system, the segment of video to determine if a documentation check has occurred; and
evaluating an employee's performance using the results of the analysis.
2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the segment of video is coupled with audio information.
3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the segment of video is stored in a video storage system configured to allow for retrieval for employee training or coaching.
4. A non-transitory computer readable medium having stored thereon program instructions that, when executed by a video processing system to perform video content analysis using transactional data, direct the video processing system to:
capture video of a transaction and the scene at a point-of sale (POS) terminal;
receive the video of the transaction as well as POS data from POS system, wherein the transactional data includes a bar code,
use the bar code information, retrieving information about a product associated with the bar code from a product information database to determine if a documentation check is required;
provide, if a documentation check is required, a segment of video corresponding to the transaction; analyze, the segment of video to determine if a documentation check has occurred; and
evaluating an employee's performance using the results of the analysis.
5. The computer readable medium of claim 4 , wherein the segment of video is coupled with audio information.
6. The computer readable medium of claim 4 , wherein the integrated video is stored in a video storage system configured to allow for retrieval for employee training or coaching.
