1. A system, comprising:
- a first camera set to a first field of view;
a second camera set to a second field of view; and
a computer communicatively coupled to the first and second cameras and comprising;
a processor; and
a non-transitory computer readable medium having instructions embedded therein that, when executed by the processor, cause the computer to;
display on a display the first field of view and the second field of view wherein at least a portion of an item is positioned such that the item is displayed in each of the first field of view and the second field of view;
display on a display an itemization graphical user interface;
receive information identifying the item generated by a user by physical manipulation of one or more keys of a keyboard, wherein the physical manipulation of each key of the one or more keys causes entry of information identifying the item and selection of a menu at the itemization graphical user interface, the information identifying the item comprising at least one of the item'"'"'s type, color, pattern, material, brand, manufacturer, value, label, tag, or damage; and
in response to receiving the information identifying the item generated by the user by physical manipulation of the one or more keys, performing a photography process, comprising;
taking a first field of view photo of the item using the first camera the first field of view photo corresponding to the displayed first field of view;
determining if a precondition for taking a second field of view photo of the item has been satisfied, wherein the precondition has been satisfied if the received information identifying the item comprises at least one of;
identification of an item label or tag, identification of the item as valuable, or identification of the item as damaged; and
in response to determining that the precondition for taking the second field of view photo of the item has been satisfied, taking a second field of view photo of the item using the second camera, the second field of view photo corresponding to the displayed second field of view, wherein each of the first camera and the second camera do not change field of view during the photography process.

Abstract
Systems and methods for implementing itemization systems with automated photography are disclosed. An itemization task may include an itemization process and a photography process that uses a first camera set to a first field of view and a second camera set to a second field of view to take a first and second photo of an item undergoing itemization. The first and second cameras automatically take photos of the item based on user input during an itemization process. The first and second cameras remain stationary and do not require repositioning or refocusing when a new item is itemized. The itemization process may be performed using 10-key input.

9. A computer-implemented method, comprising:
-
displaying on a display a first field of view corresponding to a first camera and a second field of view corresponding to a second camera, wherein at least a portion of an item is positioned such that the item is displayed in each of the first field of view and the second field of view; displaying on a display an itemization graphical user interface; receiving information identifying the item generated by a user by physical manipulation of one or more keys of a keyboard, wherein the physical manipulation of each of the one or more keys causes entry of information identifying the item and selection of a menu at the itemization graphical user interface, the information identifying the item comprising at least one of the item'"'"'s type, color, pattern, material, brand, manufacturer, value, label, tag, or damage; and in response to receiving the information identifying the item generated by a user by physical manipulation of the one or more keys, performing a photography process, comprising; taking a first field of view photo of the item using the first camera set to a first field of view, the first field of view photo corresponding to the displayed first field of view; determining if a precondition for taking a second field of view photo of the item has been satisfied, wherein the precondition has been satisfied if the received information identifying the item comprises at least one of;
identification of an item label or tag, identification of the item as valuable, or identification of the item as damaged; andin response to determining that the precondition for taking the second field of view photo of the item has been satisfied, taking a second field of view photo of the item using the second camera, the second field of view photo corresponding to the displayed second field of view, wherein each of the first camera and the second camera do not change field of view during the photography process. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17)
