Automated zone location characterization

A computer program product, comprising a computer readable hardware storage device storing a computer readable program code, said computer readable program code comprising an algorithm that when executed by a processor of a special purpose hardware based computing device implements an automated zone detection and characterization technology improvement method, said method comprising:

• first determining, by said processor via a mobile device of a user, that a user has entered a first zone of a plurality of zones internal to a first entity structure, wherein said special purpose hardware based computing device comprises electronic circuitry comprising a programmable logic array utilizing state information of specialized firmware program code configured to execute specialized software for personalizing said electronic circuitry for performing said automated zone detection and characterization improvement method;
• tracking, by said processor via location sensors executing a mobile device triangulation detection process, said mobile device of said user;
• receiving, by said processor from said mobile device of said user executing an RFID detection process via hardware sensors of said mobile device in response to detecting via said tracking that said user is locating a first product, product information from said first product, wherein said product information describes said first product;
• analyzing, by said processor, historical product and zone related data with respect to said first zone and said product information;
• second determining, by said processor based on results of said analyzing, if said first product is currently associated with being located within said first zone, wherein results of said second determining indicate that said first product is not currently associated with being located within said first zone;
• associating, by said processor, said first product with being located within said first zone;
• determining, by said processor via said mobile device, a precise location of said user and said first product occurring during said receiving said product information, wherein said precise location is within said first zone;
• receiving, by said processor via an additional mobile device of an additional user, a request for said first product at said first entity structure;
• retrieving, by said processor from said database, said data indicating said precise location;
• and
• directing, by said processor via said additional mobile device, said additional user to said precise location such that said additional user proceeds to said precise location and retrieves said first product thereby improving a product location detection and retrieval process.
