TARGETED ADVERTISING SYSTEM USING A VENDING MACHINE

摘要

A vending kiosk is provided with facial recognition system for determining the gender and approximate age of a consumer in a recognition zone around the kiosk, and a detector for isolating unique identifying data from a wireless device of the consumer in a detection zone around the kiosk. The kiosk may optionally display advertising and have an eye tracking system that determines intervals during which the consumer is looking at the advertisement while it is being displayed. The data may be used to determine consumer shopping behaviours and/or the effectiveness of advertising.
