Eliminating false positives of neighboring zones

A computer program product comprising:

• a computer readable storage medium readable by one or more processing circuit and storing instructions for execution by one or more processor for performing a method comprising:
• obtaining position data for a plurality of mobile devices, wherein mobile devices of the plurality of mobile devices have associated identifiers, and wherein the obtained position data is data that has been derived using wirelessly emitted signals;
• examining data of the position data to determine that one or more user is present within a neighboring zone of a venue, the neighboring zone being a zone that neighbors a certain zone of the venue;
• predicting that at least one user of the one or more user within the neighboring zone intends to be in the certain zone;
• specifying a zone association of the at least one user as the certain zone of the venue;
• and
• providing one or more output based on the specifying, wherein the examining and predicting are initiated based on a condition being satisfied, wherein the condition is that the certain zone satisfies one or more criterion indicating that the certain zone has become crowded, wherein the one or more output includes a control communication that increases sensitivity of a locating service that locates a mobile device of the at least one user.

A system comprising:

• a memory;
• at least one processor in communication with memory;
• and
• program instructions executable by one or more processor via the memory to perform a method comprising:
• obtaining position data for a plurality of mobile devices, wherein mobile devices of the plurality of mobile devices have associated identifiers, and wherein the obtained position data is data that has been derived using wirelessly emitted signals;
• examining data of the position data to determine that one or more user is present within a neighboring zone of a venue, the neighboring zone being a zone that neighbors a certain zone of the venue;
• predicting that at least one user of the one or more user within the neighboring zone intends to be in the certain zone;
• specifying a zone association of the at least one user as the certain zone of the venue;
• and
• providing one or more output based on the specifying, wherein the examining and predicting are initiated based on a condition being satisfied, wherein the condition is that the certain zone satisfies one or more criterion indicating that the certain zone has become crowded, wherein the one or more output includes a control communication that increases sensitivity of a locating service that locates a mobile device of the at least one user.
