20140278655 | MODELING SHOPPERS' TIME IN STORES IN RELATION TO THEIR PURCHASES - A method for analyzing shopping behavior is provided. The method may comprise, for each of a plurality of a first group of shopper trips, detecting a wireless signal for a shopper proxy device adjacent an entrance and an exit of the store. A shopper trip length may be detected. A first relationship between a number of shopper trips and trip length may be calculated. For each of a plurality of a second group of shopper trips, the method further comprises receiving transaction data for a plurality of purchase transactions. A second relationship between shopper trips and items purchased may be calculated. A third relationship, between items purchased and trip length, based on the first and second relationships may be determined. Additionally, a current number of shoppers may be detected and an in-store service deployed in response to detecting that a current number of shoppers exceeds a first predetermined threshold. | 09-18-2014 |
20140176723 | Point of View Shopper Camera System with Orientation Sensor - A point of view shopper camera system is provided to generate and analyze shoppers' view data. The point of view shopper camera system may comprise a head device including an eye camera and a head orientation sensor, a position tracking sensor to identify a shopper's position, and an analysis computing device. The eye camera may be configured to be mounted to the head of the shopper, and to capture a still or moving image of the field of view of the shopper. The analysis computing device may be configured to receive the captured image data from the eye camera, head orientation data from the head orientation sensor, and the shopper's position data from the position tracking sensor, and determine an estimated field of view of the shopper during a trip in a shopping environment. | 06-26-2014 |
20130325546 | PURCHASE BEHAVIOR ANALYSIS BASED ON VISUAL HISTORY - Methods for providing and comparing visual purchase deconstructions are provided. One example method for providing a visual purchase deconstruction includes recognizing a pre-purchase event, tracking movement of a focus position of one or both eyes of the shopper, recognizing a purchase event of the product, and, upon recognizing the purchase event, determining the purchase deconstruction representing the purchase based on the movement of the focus location during a pre-purchase window, the pre-purchase window having a duration from the pre-purchase event to the purchase event. The visual purchase deconstruction may be compared to one or more other purchases for any combination of products and shoppers.
