TECHNIQUES FOR USING A HEAT MAP OF A RETAIL LOCATION TO PROMOTE THE SALE OF PRODUCTS
First Claim
1. A computer-implemented method comprising:
- monitoring, at a processing device, regions of a retail location;
determining, at the processing device, a crowd size for each region based on said monitoring step and indicative of an amount of people in the region when said monitoring step is executed, including identifying at least one over-crowded region;
generating, at the processing device, a heat map based on the crowd sizes in each region, the heat map being indicative of the amount of people in each of the regions and displaying the over-crowded region; and
offering for sale a product promotion positioned at the over-crowded region identified in the heat map.

Abstract
A computer-implemented method is disclosed herein. The computer-implemented method includes the step of monitoring, at a processing device, regions of a retail location. The computer-implemented method also includes the step of determining, at the processing device, a crowd size for each region based on the monitoring step and indicative of an amount of people in the region when the monitoring step is executed, including identifying at least one over-crowded region. The computer-implemented method also includes the step of generating, at the processing device, a heat map based on the crowd sizes in each region, the heat map being indicative of the amount of people in each of the regions and displaying the over-crowded region. The computer-implemented method also includes the step of offering for sale a product promotion positioned at the over-crowded region identified in the heat map.
