Abstract

System and method for tracking a mobile device includes: receiving unique identifications for a mobile device; filtering out the unique identifications to obtain a true identifications for the mobile device; identifying cameras relevant to movement of the mobile device; receiving video streams; generating data structures for the video streams and tracking information of the mobile device, the data structure including time stamped videos, and viewpoints of the identified cameras; utilizing the data structures to retrieve, video and tracking information for the mobile device and the user, as the mobile moves in the site; and applying analytics to the retrieved video and tracking information to analyze behavior of the user and to predict what the user will do while on site.

A method for identifying a mobile device in a site, the method comprising:

receiving, in real time, a plurality of different identifications for a particular mobile device visiting the site, wherein the plurality of different identifications include false or repetitive identifications for the particular mobile device;
filtering out the plurality of different identifications for the particular mobile device to obtain a true identification for the particular mobile device, wherein the true identification does not include false or repetitive identifications for the particular mobile device;
receiving video streams of visual location and movement of the particular mobile device from one or more cameras;
generating data structures for the video streams and tracking information of the particular mobile device, the data structures including time stamped videos and the true identification of the particular mobile device;
storing the data structures in a computer storage medium;
and
utilizing the data structures to recognize the particular mobile device when the particular mobile device returns to the site at a future time.
