DETECTING RETAIL SHRINKAGE USING BEHAVIORAL ANALYTICS
First Claim
1. A computing device for detecting retail shrinkage, comprising:
- a memory; and
a processor coupled to the memory, wherein the processor is configured to execute executable instructions stored in the memory to;
receive data associated with behavior of an individual; and
use the data associated with the behavior of the individual to determine whether the behavior of the individual is irregular to detect retail shrinkage.

Abstract
Methods, devices, and systems for detecting retail shrinkage using behavior analytics are described herein. The retail shrinkage may be due to, for example, sweethearting, although embodiments of the present disclosure are not so limited and can be used to detect other forms of retail shrinkage as well. One or more device embodiments include a memory, and a processor coupled to the memory. The processor is configured to execute executable instructions stored in the memory to receive data associated with behavior of an individual and use the data associated with the behavior of the individual to determine whether the behavior of the individual is irregular to detect retail shrinkage.

7. A computer implemented method for detecting retail shrinkage, comprising:
-
receiving, from a number of sensors, data associated with behavior of an individual during a transaction at a point of sale site; determining a behavior model based on data received from the number of sensors for regular and irregular transactions; comparing the data associated with the behavior of the individual during the transaction with a behavior model to determine whether the behavior of the individual during the transaction is irregular; and initiating a corrective action if the behavior of the individual during the transaction is determined to be irregular. - View Dependent Claims (8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16)
