Abstract

See full text

Systems and methods for indicating content characteristics of spaced-apart areas in a retail environment are disclosed. According to an aspect, a system includes an item identifier for identifying an item. Detectors are placed at different spaced-apart areas and configured to detect the placement of items at the spaced-apart areas. The system may also include one or more indicators configured to indicate content characteristics of each of the spaced-apart areas. The system may also include an item processing manager configured to receive identification of the item from the item identifier. The item processing manager may determine placement of the item at one of the areas based on a detection of the placement of the item at that area. The item processing manager may also control the indicator to indicate one of the content characteristics based on the identification of the item in response to determining placement of the item at the respective area.
