A method includes obtaining primary workflow having a list of activities being performed by a worker; obtaining a surprise activity; comparing a context of the worker to contextual needs of the surprise activity; and interleaving the surprise activity in the list of activities based on a best fit context of the worker.

Interleaving surprise activities in workflow

A method of characterizing inventory items to a planogram includes receiving images of view of a scene with inventory items and corresponding indicia using an imaging device; receiving utterances (such as spoken description of inventory items) from a user using a voice recognition system; identifying inventory items in the scene and a corresponding identification code based at least in part on the images and at least in part on the utterances; identifying a plurality of attributes corresponding to the inventory items; and characterizing the inventory items to a planogram based on the respective identification code and plurality of attributes.

Method and system for inputting products into an inventory system

A mobile device can receive information from a computer; at least partially in response to the receiving of the information from the computer, the mobile device can communicate with a worker regarding a product type; the mobile device can receive information from the worker via voice, wherein the information received from the worker can identify a date or other product information associated with a product of the product type; and the mobile device can provide the product information to the computer. The mobile device can provide a second voice prompt to the worker, wherein the second voice prompt can request a quantity of products of the product type that are marked with the product information; then the mobile device can receive a quantity from the worker via voice; and the mobile device can report to the computer.

Systems and methods for managing dated products

A network for communicating an exchange of data signals between multiple entities is described. The network has two or more channels. A first channel of the network is operable for exchanging a first portion of the data signals, based on a communication profile, between a first entity and one or more entities communicatively coupled with the first entity. At least a second channel of the network is operable for exchanging a second portion of the data signals, independent of the communication profile, between the first entity and at least one of the one or more entities.

Extended features for network communication

A communication component modifies production of an audio waveform at determined modification segments to thereby mitigate the effects of a delay in processing and/or receiving a subsequent audio waveform. The audio waveform and/or data associated with the audio waveform are analyzed to identify the modification segments based on characteristics of the audio waveform and/or data associated therewith. The modification segments show where the production of the audio waveform may be modified without substantially affecting the clarity of the sound or audio. In one embodiment, the invention modifies the sound production at the identified modification segments to extend production time and thereby mitigate the effects of delay in receiving and/or processing a subsequent audio waveform for production.
