Abstract

Claims (23)

1. A method for analytical recognition comprising:

capturing by one or more video cameras video data including a video frame having a person;

capturing mobile communication device data by one or more antennae, the mobile communication device data including an identifier of a mobile communication device associated with the person;

correlating portions of the video data to respective portions of the captured mobile communication device data based on one or more keys included within the video data and the mobile communication device data; and

generating a profile of the person associated with the correlated portions of video data and the mobile communication device data, wherein the profile includes profile data including at least one of the video data, the mobile communication device data, and additional data, the additional data including sales data or user-inputted data such as name, date of birth, other phone data, email address, or residential address,

wherein the attributes include at least one of whether the person is a return shopper, a first-time shopper, an employee, a passerby, whether the person shops at other locations of a particular retailer, or whether the person was engaged by an employee while located at a store.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the key included within the portion of video data is a facial image of the person.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the key included within the mobile communication device data is at least one of an IP address of the mobile communication device, an identifier of the one or more antennae, signal strength of the mobile communication device data, or location of the one or more antennae.

4. The method of claim 1 , further comprising normalizing the profile data based on one or more normalization criteria.

5. The method of claim 4 , wherein the normalization criteria include at least one of number of visits the person has made to a particular location, duration of time the person has remained at a particular location, or a frequency or repetition rate of visits the person has made to a particular location.

6. The method of claim 1 , further comprising updating the profile data to include one or more attributes generated based on data aggregated for each profile over time.

7. A system for analytical recognition comprising:

one or more video cameras configured to capture video data including a video frame having a person;

one or more antennae configured to capture mobile communication device data, which includes an identifier of a mobile communication device associated with the person; and

a processor configured to:

correlate portions of the captured video data to respective portions of the captured mobile communication device data based on one or more keys included within the captured video data and the mobile communication device data; and

generate a profile of the person associated with the correlated portions of video data and the mobile communication device data, wherein the profile includes profile data having at least one of the captured video data, the mobile communication device data, or additional data, the additional data including sales data or user-inputted data such as name, date of birth, other phone data, email address, or residential address,

wherein the attributes include at least one of whether the person is a return shopper, a first-time shopper, an employee, a passerby, whether the person shops at other locations of a particular retailer, or whether the person was engaged by an employee while located at a store.

8. The system of claim 7 , wherein the key included within the portion of video data is a facial image of the person.

9. The system of claim 7 , wherein the key included within the mobile communication device data is at least one of an IP address of the mobile communication device, an identifier of the one or more antennae, signal strength of the mobile communication device data, or location of the one or more antennae.

10. The system of claim 7 , wherein the processor is further configured to normalize the profile data based on one or more normalization criteria.

11. The system of claim 10 , wherein the normalization criteria include at least one of number of visits the person has made to a particular location, duration of time the person has remained at a particular location, or a frequency or repetition rate of visits the person has made to a particular location.

12. The system of claim 7 , wherein the processor is further configured to update the profile data to include one or more attributes generated based on data aggregated for each profile over time.
