In-store field-of-view merchandising and analytics
First Claim
1. A system comprising:
- a processor; and
a memory storing computer-executable instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to perform operations comprisingreceiving, from a visual orientation system, an estimated field-of-view of a customer, wherein the estimated field-of-view is determined by the visual orientation system,sending, to a user device associated with the customer, a request for orientation and location information for use in determining what, if any, items are located within the estimated field-of-view so that a customer service person is made aware of what the customer is currently viewing,determining, based upon the orientation and location information received from the user device in response to the request, what, if any, items are located within the estimated field-of-view, andestablishing, with the user device associated with the customer, a communications session over which the customer service person can provide assistance to the customer based, at least in part, upon the estimated field-of-view of the customer and what, if any, items are located within the estimated field-of-view.

Abstract
Concepts and technologies disclosed herein are directed to aspects of in-store field-of-view merchandising and analytics. According to one aspect disclosed herein, a system receives a message from a user device. The message can include an orientation of the user device and a location of the user device within an environment, such as a store. The system can obtain a potential field-of-view of a user associated with the user device. The system can determine, based upon the orientation, the location of the user device and the potential field-of-view of the user, an estimated field-of-view of the user. The system can query a database to look-up items located within the estimated field-of-view. The system can receive, in response to the query, a query response identifying an item located within the estimated field-of-view of the user within the environment.
