Abstract

A method of analyzing performance comprises capturing video data of an interaction between a customer and a worker. The method further comprises analyzing the video data to determine performance metrics for the interaction. The method further comprises generating a scorecard of the performance metrics.

Claims (30)

1 . A method of analyzing performance, the method comprising:

capturing video data of an interaction between a customer and a worker;

analyzing the video data to determine performance metrics for the interaction; and

generating a scorecard of the performance metrics.

2 . The method of claim 1 wherein capturing the video data of the interaction between the customer and the worker comprises identifying the customer and the worker.

3 . The method of claim 1 wherein capturing the video data of the interaction between the customer and the worker comprises identifying a location of the interaction within a retail environment.

4 . The method of claim 3 wherein capturing the video data of the interaction between the customer and the worker comprises monitoring the location of the interaction.

5 . The method of claim 4 wherein monitoring the location of the interaction comprises generating a virtual interaction by combining the video data and audio data for the interaction.

6 . The method of claim 3 wherein analyzing the video data to determine the performance metrics for the interaction comprises identifying a duration of time that the customer waited at the location before the interaction between the worker and the customer began.

7 . The method of claim 1 wherein analyzing the video data to determine the performance metrics for the interaction comprises identifying a duration of time of the interaction.

8 . The method of claim 1 wherein analyzing the video data to determine the performance metrics for the interaction comprises correlating a number of conversions with the worker and identifying skills of the worker based on the number of conversions.

9 . The method of claim 8 wherein analyzing the video data to determine the performance metrics for the interaction comprises correlating a conversion rate of the worker with a location of the worker and identifying a different location for the worker if the conversion rate falls below a threshold.

10 . A computer-readable medium having program instructions stored thereon that, when executed by a processing system, direct the processing system to:

capture video data of an interaction between a customer and a worker;

analyze the video data to determine performance metrics for the interaction; and

generate a scorecard of the performance metrics.

11 . The computer-readable medium of claim 10 wherein the program instructions direct the processing system to identify the customer and the worker in order to capture the video data of the interaction between the customer and the worker.

12 . The computer-readable medium of claim 10 wherein the program instructions direct the processing system to identify a location of the interaction within a retail environment in order to capture the video data of the interaction between the customer and the worker.

13 . The computer-readable medium of claim 12 wherein the program instructions direct the processing system to monitor the location of the interaction in order to capture the video data of the interaction between the customer and the worker.

14 . The computer-readable medium of claim 13 wherein the program instructions direct the processing system to generate a virtual interaction by combining the video data and audio data for the interaction in order to monitor the location of the interaction.

15 . The computer-readable medium of claim 12 wherein the program instructions direct the processing system to identify a duration of time that the customer waited at the location before the interaction between the worker and the customer began in order to analyze the video data to determine the performance metrics for the interaction.

16 . The computer-readable medium of claim 10 wherein the program instructions direct the processing system to identify a duration of time of the interaction in order to analyze the video data to determine the performance metrics for the interaction.

17 . The computer-readable medium of claim 10 wherein the program instructions direct the processing system to correlate a number of conversions with the worker and identify skills of the worker based on the number of conversions in order to analyze the video data to determine the performance metrics for the interaction.

18 . The computer-readable medium of claim 17 wherein the program instructions direct the processing system to correlate a conversion rate of the worker with a location of the worker and identify a different location for the worker if the conversion rate falls below a threshold in order to analyze the video data to determine the performance metrics for the interaction.

19 . A method of analyzing performance, the method comprising:

capturing video data of interactions between customers and workers;

analyzing the video data to determine performance metrics for the interactions, wherein the performance metrics comprise a ratio of an amount of the workers in an area to a total amount of the workers, a conversion rate for the area, and customer traffic within the area;

processing the performance metrics to determine an optimal location to situate at least one of the workers; and

generating a scorecard of the performance metrics.

20 . The method of claim 19 wherein processing the performance metrics further comprises processing the performance metrics to determine an optimal time period for scheduling the at least one of the workers to work at the optimal location.
