TECHNIQUES FOR USING A HEAT MAP OF A RETAIL LOCATION TO DISPERSE CROWDS

摘要

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. 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. The computer-implemented method also includes the step of promoting a reduction in the crowd size in at least one of the regions.

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; 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, a color scheme of the heat map indicating a relative crowdedness of the crowd sizes; and promoting a reduction in the crowd size in at least one of the regions.
