Abstract: The subject matter described herein includes methods, systems, and computer readable media for tracking consumer interactions with products using electromagnetic beam sensors. One system includes at least one transmitter configured to generate a beam of electromagnetic energy. The system further includes at least one receiver positioned with respect to the at least one transmitter to detect a portion of the beam of electromagnetic energy reflected from a consumer or a product when the consumer physically interacts with the product. The system further includes the at least one circuit board on which the at least one transmitter and the at least one receiver are mounted. The at least one circuit board is configured to mount at or near a product location.

Abstract: The subject matter described herein includes methods, systems, and computer readable media for tracking consumer interactions with products using modular sensor units. In one system, a plurality of weight and motion sensors is configured to track consumer interactions with products. The system further includes a plurality of sensor mounts for holding the sensors in place. Each sensor mount includes signal lines for transmitting power to the sensors and for conducting signals between the sensors and a signal processor. The system further includes a plurality of conductors for interconnecting sensor mounts to a signal processor. The system further includes a plurality of connectors to allow rapid addition and removal of the sensors and their mounts as needed for a particular product planogram.
