Systems and methods to optimize media presentations using a camera
First Claim
1. A computer-implemented method, comprising:
- storing, by a data warehouse, transaction data;
receiving, by a communication portal, first images of customers from at least one first digital camera;
identifying, by a computing apparatus, a characteristic of a plurality of customers based on the first images of the customers;
receiving, by the communication portal, from at least one second digital camera, second images of customers, including a first customer using a first computing device, who make payment transactions, the at least one second digital camera attached to a transaction terminal;
identifying, by the computing apparatus, a subset of customers from the plurality of customers who make payment transactions and who have the identified characteristic, the identifying comprising correlating the first images and the second images to identify the subset of customers based on facial recognition, wherein customers who do not make a payment transaction within a predetermined period of time are excluded from the subset of customers;
generating, by the computing apparatus, an aggregated spending profile for the subset of customers based on transactions of the subset of customers, the generating based on the transaction data stored in the data warehouse;
modifying, by a media controller, content for sending to a point of interaction as controlled by the aggregated spending profile of the subset of customers;
sending, by the communication portal, the modified content to the point of interaction to cause display of the modified content;
generating, by the media controller, an electronic file;
transmitting, by the communication portal, a communication to the first computing device of the first customer, the communication to cause display of the electronic file in a user interface of the first computing device; and
receiving an authorization request from a first transaction terminal of the at least one transaction terminal for a transaction made by the first computing device using the electronic file.

Abstract
In one aspect, a computing apparatus is configured to: capture first images of customers who have watched a digital sign, using a digital camera attached to the digital sign positioned in vicinity of a retail location; identify characteristics of the customers based on the first images; identify, using the characteristics, a subset of customers who have made payment transactions at the retail location through a transaction handler; determine an aggregated spending profile based on transactions of the subset of customers recorded by the transaction handler; and arrange content on the digital sign based on the aggregated spending profile. The computing apparatus may be further configured to capture second images of the customers who have made payment transactions at the retail location through the transaction handler, using a digital camera attached to a point of sale (POS) station at the retail location, and to correlate the first and second images to identify the subset.

17. A non-transitory computer storage medium storing instructions that, when executed by a computing apparatus, cause the computing apparatus to:
-
receive, by a communication portal, from a user tracker, first images of customers from at least one first digital camera, wherein the at least one first digital camera is attached to a point of interaction, the communication portal to receive user data from the user tracker, the user tracker configured to process images from the at least one first digital camera and generate the user data; identify a characteristic of a plurality of customers based on the first images of the customers; receive, by the communication portal, from at least one second digital camera, second images of customers, including a first customer using a first computing device; identify a subset of customers from the plurality of customers who make payment transactions and who have the identified characteristic, the identifying comprising correlating the first images and the second images to identify the subset of customers based on facial recognition; generate an aggregated spending profile for the subset of customers based on transactions of the subset of customers, the generating based on transaction data stored in a data warehouse, and further based on the user data received from the user tracker; modify content for sending to the point of interaction as controlled by the aggregated spending profile of the subset of customers; and send, by the communication portal, the modified content to the point of interaction to cause display of the modified content. - View Dependent Claims (18)
