<p>Embodiments of the present disclosure is directed to the use of spatially diverse multiple antenna structures and associated radio transmitters and receivers in a sensor for accurate proximity detection. In a retail environment, a system based on a network of such (smart) sensors can accurately detect presence and location of a shopper's wireless mobile device as the shopper moves along the shopping aisles carrying the wireless mobile device (e.g. smartphone). Based on the location of the shopper and the duration of the shopper stopping in front of a product shelf in an aisle, embodiments can engage the shopper (through the wireless mobile device) in transaction-oriented interactions using the 'sense, analyze, and connect' capability of the various embodiments described herein. Such interactions result in increased revenue for the retailers as well as better understanding of the shopping behavior of the retail shoppers. Such understanding can be embodied in improved analytics.</p> |
