Device, method, and medium for packing recommendations based on container volume and contextual information

Abstract

A packing service for packing objects into containers is disclosed. An image-capture device may capture an image of a container and the image may be used to determine the volume of the container. Contextual information associated with the container may be determined, such as objects already in the container, a destination for the container, or objects to be placed into the container, for example. The contextual information may be obtained from the image or from any of various services or systems. Items to be placed into the container are determined, based on the contextual information, for example. Recommendations to purchase items to pack into the container may be made. Recommendations of how to pack or arrange the items into the container may also be made. Additional images of the container may be captured and analyzed to determine whether the packing recommendations were followed or to determine additional recommendations.
