Dynamic alert system in a facility
First Claim
1. A dynamic alert system in a facility, the system comprising:
- a plurality of mobile devices associated with a plurality of users;
a computing system including a database, the computing system in communication with the plurality of mobile devices, the computing system configured to;
obtain device locations of the plurality of mobile devices;
determine that the device locations coincide with one or more areas within a facility including a plurality of physical objects;
retrieve, from the database, user data associated with the plurality of users of the plurality of mobile devices;
group the users into one or more groups based on the user data;
generate a message for each of the one or more groups, wherein the content of the message is different for each group and includes information associated with at least one of the plurality of physical objects in the facility based on the one or more areas within the facilitate that coincide with the device locations; and
transmit each message to the plurality of mobile devices associated with the plurality of users in each of the one or more groups.

Abstract
Described in detail herein are methods and systems for dynamically transmitting alerts. Sensors disposed in a facility can detect mobile devices roaming around the facility when they are within range of the sensor. The sensor can transmit the location an identification information of the mobile devices to a computing system. The computing system can determine physical objects disposed within a predetermined distance to the mobile devices. The computing system can determine if at least one physical object is of interest to the users of the mobile devices. The computing system can transmit an alert including information associated with the physical object and generate a messaging interface on the mobile devices. The computing system can prompt the users of the mobile devices to input information associated with the physical object. The computing system can dynamically update the database based on the information input associated with the physical object.

10. A dynamic alerting method in a facility, the method comprising:
-
ascertaining device locations of a plurality of mobile devices associated with a plurality of users via a computing system in communication with the plurality of mobile devices; determining, via the computing system, that the device locations coincide with one or more areas within a facility including a plurality of physical objects; retrieving, by the computing system, user data associated with the plurality of users of the plurality of mobile devices from a database; grouping, via the computing system, the users into one or more groups based on the user data; generating, via the computing system, a message for each of the one or more groups, wherein the content of the message is different for each group and includes information associated with at least one of the plurality of physical objects in the facility based on the one or more areas within the facilitate that coincide with the device locations; and transmitting, via the computing system, each message to the plurality of mobile devices associated with the plurality of users in each of the one or more groups. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18)
