  • Occupancy prediction using real-time information
    Patent number: 11379765
    Abstract: An occupancy tracking device configured to receive an occupancy status request from a user device that includes a location identifier for a first physical location. The device is further configured to identify a local management system that is associated with the first physical location. The device is further configured to receive one or more images of an interior space of the first physical location in response to sending an occupancy information request. The device is further configured to determine a current occupancy level for the first physical location based at least in part on the number of people present in the images of the first physical location. The device is further configured to determine an occupancy status for the first physical location based on a comparison between the current occupancy level and an occupancy threshold value and to send the occupancy status to the user device.
