Abstract
An approach is provided to analyze consumer behavior data. In the approach, location data corresponding to the consumers is identified. Discarded tagged packages are received from the consumers. The discarded tagged packages include wireless tags that associate the discarded tagged packages product identifiers. At a refuse collection point, each of the wireless tags are read (e.g., using an RFID reader). The reading retrieves the product identifiers associated from the tags on the discarded packages. The product identifiers and the location data are stored in a data store. Consumer consumption maps are generated from the stored product identifiers and location data.

9. An information handling system comprising:
-
one or more processors; a memory coupled to at least one of the processors; a wireless tag reader accessible by at least one of the processors; a network adapter that connects the information handling system to a computer network; and a set of instructions stored in the memory and executed by at least one of the processors, wherein the set of instructions perform actions of; identifying location data corresponding to a plurality of consumers, each of the consumers located at one of a plurality of geographic locations; receiving a plurality of discarded tagged packages from each of the plurality of consumers, wherein each of the discarded tagged packages includes a wireless tag that associates each of the discarded tagged packages with a product identifier; reading, at the wireless tag reader, each of the wireless tags, wherein the reading retrieves the product identifiers associated with each of the discarded tagged packages; storing the retrieved product identifiers and the location data in a data store stored in the memory; and generating one or more area consumer consumption maps from the stored product identifiers and the stored location data, wherein the generating further comprises; receiving a geographic area request; and selecting, from the data store, the stored product identifiers with geographic location data corresponding to the requested geographic area, wherein one of the area consumer consumption maps corresponds to the selected stored product identifiers. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15)

17. A computer program product stored in a computer readable medium, comprising computer instructions that, when executed by an information handling system, causes the information handling system to perform actions that include:
-
identifying location data corresponding to a plurality of consumers, each of the consumers located at one of a plurality of geographic locations; receiving a plurality of discarded tagged packages from each of the plurality of consumers, wherein each of the discarded tagged packages includes a wireless tag that associates each of the discarded tagged packages with a product identifier; reading, at a refuse collection point, each of the wireless tags, wherein the reading retrieves the product identifiers associated with each of the discarded tagged packages; storing the retrieved product identifiers and the location data in a data store; and generating one or more area consumer consumption maps from the stored product identifiers and the stored location data, wherein the generating further comprises; receiving a geographic area request; and selecting, from the data store, the stored product identifiers with geographic location data corresponding to the requested geographic area, wherein one of the area consumer consumption maps corresponds to the selected stored product identifiers. - View Dependent Claims (18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23)
