SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR DETERMINING IF OBJECTS ARE IN A QUEUE
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method comprising:
- detecting a first object within a defined area using a sensor;
producing a position value of the first object based on an indicator from the sensor, the position value including at least two position coordinates and a corresponding time value; and
associating the position value of the first object with a queue set when at least a portion of the position value of the first object and at least a portion of a position value of a second object satisfies a queue parameter condition, the position value of the second object including at least two position coordinates and a corresponding time value, the position value of the second object being associated with the queue set, the queue set defining a queue associated with a seed location.

Abstract
Systems and methods that determine a position value of a first object and a position value of a second object, and compare the position value of the first object with the position value of the second object to determine if the second object is in a queue with the first object are provided.

11. An apparatus comprising:
-
a tracking system configured to detect, using a sensor, a first object within a defined area, the tracking system being configured to produce a position value of the first object based on an indicator from the sensor, the position value being included in a track of the first object, the position value including at least two position coordinates and a corresponding time value; and a processor system configured to associate the track of the object with a queue set when at least a portion of the position value of the first object and at least a portion of a position value of a second object satisfies a queue parameter condition, the position value of the second object being included in the queue set, the queue set defining a queue associated with a seed location. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15)

16. A method comprising:
-
detecting, using a sensor, a first object within a defined area; producing a position value of the first object based on an indicator from the sensor, the position value including at least two position coordinates and a corresponding time value; receiving a position value of a second object associated with a beginning of a queue, the position value of the second object being included in a queue set, the queue set defining a queue associated with a seed location; associating the position value of the first object with the queue set when at least a portion of the position value of the first object and at least a portion of a position value of a second object satisfies a queue parameter condition. - View Dependent Claims (17, 18, 19, 20)
