Abstract
Currently, systems for assessing traffic, such as retail traffic, only output counting results in numeric measures. Current systems do not assess problems and/or provide solutions to problems using traffic analysis methods or applications. The present disclosure is directed to methods, systems and media for applying retail traffic analysis statistics to provide actionable intelligence, such as solutions to particular inquiries or problems.
Claims20
A method comprising:
- receiving monitoring input at a central processing unit from a plurality of sources regarding traffic or actions in a retail environment, wherein the plurality of sources comprise cameras, cashier input, transaction records, and store layout information;
- generating and storing, by the central processing unit, traffic data by analyzing the received monitoring input to produce data/results and one or more heat/path maps, wherein the data/results include statistical information about traffic through an area of a retail store;
- assessing, by the central processing unit, the generated traffic data with respect to defined goals and defined key performance indicators;
- generating, by the central processing unit, -a goal accomplishment status for each of the defined goals and a key performance indicator measurement for each of the key performance indicators;
- generating and outputting, by the central processing unit, action items based on the goal accomplishment statuses and the key performance indicator measurements, wherein the action items include the key performance indicator measurements and information regarding whether the defined goals have been met.
The method of claim 7, wherein the method is calculated continually in real time as traffic data is generated and stored.
A non-transitory computer-readable medium comprising instructions which, when executed by central processing unit, cause the central processing unit to perform a method comprising:
- receiving monitoring from a plurality of sources regarding traffic or actions in a retail environment, wherein the plurality of sources comprise cameras, cashier input, transaction records, and store layout information;
- generating and storing traffic data by analyzing the received monitoring input to produce data/results and one or more heat/path maps, wherein the data/results include statistical information about traffic through an area of a retail store;
- assessing the generated traffic data with respect to defined goals and defined key performance indicators;
- generating a goal accomplishment status for each of the defined goals and a key performance indicator measurement for each of the key performance indicators;
- generating and outputting action items based on the goal accomplishment statuses and the key performance indicator measurements, wherein the action items include the key performance indicator measurements and information regarding whether the defined goals have been met.
A traffic intelligence system, comprising:
- a central processing unit;
- and
- a memory coupled to the central processing unit, the memory storing instructions which when executed, cause the central processing unit to perform a method comprising:
- receiving monitoring input from a plurality of sources regarding traffic or actions in a retail environment, wherein the plurality of sources comprise cameras, cashier input, transaction records, and store layout information;
- generating and storing traffic data by analyzing the received monitoring input to produce data/results and one or more heat/path maps, wherein the data/results include statistical information about traffic through an area of a retail store;
- assessing the generated traffic data with respect to defined goals and defined key performance indicators;
- generating a goal accomplishment status for each of the defined goals and a key performance indicator measurement for each of the key performance indicators;
- generating and outputting action items based on the goal accomplishment statuses and the key performance indicator measurements, wherein the action items include the key performance indicator measurements and information regarding whether the defined goals have been met.
