Abstract

The Realtime Realworld and Online Activity Correlation and Inventory Management Apparatuses, Methods and Systems (“RROACIM”) transforms offer determining request, traffic analyzing request, video data and Beacon data inputs via RROACIM components into applicable offer and traffic metrics outputs. A consumer device identifier may be obtained from a beacon receiver and consumer preference information may be retrieved. An approximate consumer and consumer device position may be determined. The RROACIM may obtain realtime video feed targeted at the approximate consumer and consumer device position, generate frame models of consumers in that targeted position, and determine which frame is of the target consumer. The RROACIM may correlate movements of the frame model with the consumer and consumer device and determine intentionality of the consumer. The RROACIM may generate inquiries for the consumer and generate shelf tag update messages to be displayed to the consumer.
