Method and system for presence detection
Techniques for detecting and presenting rewards for presence are disclosed. Presence of a mobile device within a building is detected based on a plurality of triggers including a degradation of a first signal and a concurrent improvement of a second signal. The triggers are identified by a client-side application of the mobile device or a corresponding server-side processor with which the client-side application is in communication and from which the client-side application is configured to automatically receive available rewards. In response to detecting presence within the building, the server-side processor determines that a user of the mobile device is eligible for a reward, and the reward is provided to the user via the client-side application at the mobile device.
1. A device, comprising:
a display; and
at least one processor configured to:
detect a trigger based on a degradation of a signal;
determine that the device entered a store based on the detected trigger;
receive a reward notification in response to the determination that the device entered the store; and
cause the display to display the received reward notification.
2. The device of claim 1 , wherein the reward notification comprises a reward redeemable in the store.
3. The device of claim 1 , wherein the reward notification comprises a reward specific to a user associated with the device.
4. The device of claim 1 , wherein the reward notification comprises a reward relating to a specific type of products offered in the store.
5. The device of claim 1 , wherein the reward notification comprises an offer to get a reward if a user associated with the device stays in the store for a period of time equal to or exceeding a threshold.
6. The device of claim 1 , wherein the reward notification comprises a reward relating to a membership status of a user associated with the device.
7. The device of claim 1 , wherein the reward notification comprises a reward relating to a frequency of visiting the store by a user associated with the device.
8. The device of claim 1 , wherein the at least one processor is further configured to cause the display to display a map of the store.
9. The device of claim 1 , wherein the signal indicates a position of the device.
10. The device of claim 9 , wherein the signal comprises a global positioning system (GPS) signal.
11. A method, comprising:
detecting a trigger based on a degradation of a signal received by a user device;
determining that the user device entered a store based on the detected trigger;
receiving a reward notification in response to the determination that the user device entered the store; and
displaying in a user interface of the user device the received reward notification.
12. The method of claim 11 , wherein the reward notification comprises a reward redeemable in the store.
13. The method of claim 11 , wherein the reward notification comprises a reward specific to a user associated with the user device.
14. The method of claim 11 , further comprising causing the user device to display a map of the store.
15. The method of claim 11 , wherein the signal indicates a position of the user device.
16. A non-transitory computer-usable storage medium comprising computer instructions that when executed by at least one processor cause the at least one processor to perform a method, the method comprising:
detecting a trigger based on a degradation of a signal received by a user device;
determining that the user device entered a store based on the detected trigger;
receiving a reward notification in response to the determination that the user device entered the store; and
displaying in a user interface of the user device the received reward notification.
17. The non-transitory computer-usable storage medium of claim 16 , wherein the reward notification comprises a reward redeemable in the store.
18. The non-transitory computer-usable storage medium of claim 16 , wherein the reward notification comprises a reward specific to a user associated with the user device.
19. The non-transitory computer-usable storage medium of claim 16 , the method further comprising causing the user device to display a map of the store.
20. The non-transitory computer-usable storage medium of claim 16 , wherein the signal indicates a position of the user device.
