EMPLOYEE TASK VERIFICATION TO VIDEO SYSTEM
First Claim
1. A method for verifying task completion via a video system, comprising:
- monitoring via one or more video cameras a region of interest (ROI);
analyzing pixels in the ROI in video frames captured by the one or more video cameras whether an employee signal has been detected in the region of interest;
upon detection of an employee signal;
identifying a task corresponding to the detected employee signal;
updating a task schedule for the identified task to indicate completion of the task;
generating and transmitting a task completion alert message indicative of completion of the identified task.

Abstract
When monitoring a workspace to determine whether scheduled tasks or chores are completed according to a predetermined schedule, a video monitoring system monitors a region of interest (ROI) to identify employee-generated signals representing completion of a scheduled task. An employee makes a mark or gesture in the ROI monitored by the video monitoring system and the system analyzes pixels in each captured frame of the ROI to identify an employee signal, map the signal to a corresponding scheduled task, update the task as having been completed upon receipt of the employee signal, and alert a manager of the facility as to whether the task has been completed or not.

10. A video system that facilitates verifying task completion in a retail or service environment, comprising:
-
one or more video cameras that monitor a region of interest (ROI); a processor configured to; analyze pixels in the ROI in video frames captured by the one or more video cameras whether an employee signal has been detected in the region of interest; and upon detection of an employee signal; identify a task corresponding to the detected employee signal; update a task schedule for the identified task to indicate completion of the task; generate and transmit a task completion alert message indicative of completion of the identified task. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18)

19. A method of verifying task completion in a retail or service environment, comprising:
-
monitoring a scene with one or more video cameras; defining a region of interest (ROI) within the scene for detecting employee signal events; analyzing the ROI to detect employee signal events; classifying a detected signal event as corresponding to a completed task; updating a task completion schedule based on the classified signal event; and generating transmitting a task completion alert message indicative of the completed task. - View Dependent Claims (20)
