Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention provide a method, system and computer program product for dynamically determining dwell times in a zone of a retail setting. In an embodiment of the invention, a method for dynamically determining dwell times in a zone of a retail setting includes defining different zones of a retail setting in memory of a host computing system and establishing a different dwell time for each of the different zones. The method additionally includes observing footfall in each of the different zones for different individuals in order to compute an actual dwell time for each individual in a particular one of the different zones. Finally, the method includes re-establishing the different dwell time for each of the different zones based upon the observed footfall.

Abstract: Approaches presented herein enable providing a group-based purchasing incentive related to a product or service at a retail store to a customer among a group of customers contingent on an action being performed by a predefined number of members from the group. Specifically, a customer in a retail store is identified as part of a group of customers. A notification of a group-based purchasing incentive offer is transmitted to a mobile device of the identified customer. The offer is contingent on a specified number of other customers in the group performing an action. When the specified number of other customers in the group have performed the action, the group-based purchasing incentive is provided to the identified customer.

Abstract: Determining a beacon interval in which a device, located within a venue having a plurality of predefined zones, sends a beacon to a system for tracking the location of the device within the venue. Each of the predefined zones has a zone-specific beacon interval which is updated.

Abstract: Systems and methods for detecting doorway tailgating are disclosed. A method includes: determining, by a computer device, a mobile device moves through a doorway to a secure area; determining, by the computer device, a security protocol was not passed for the mobile device to move through the doorway; and generating, by the computer device, an alert based on both the determining the mobile device moves through the doorway to the secure area and the determining the security protocol was not passed.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method includes: monitoring, by a computing device, respective locations of a plurality of user devices; determining, by the computing device, that a particular group of user devices of the plurality of user devices are located within a threshold distance of each other based on monitoring the respective locations of the plurality of user devices; and storing or outputting, by the computing device, grouping information indicating that the particular group of user devices are associated with a single user based on the determining that the particular group of user devices are located within a threshold distance of each other.

Abstract: A first indications from a first beacon of one or more beacons at a first time is received. A transmission number is requested from a server device. The transmission number is received from the server device. Responsive to receiving the first indication from the first beacon, whether the first time is within the transmission number is determined. Responsive to determining the first time is within the transmission number, the first indication is transmitted to the server device.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method includes comprises identifying a pointer device associated with a pointer position identifier and a pointer direction identifier. The computer-implemented method further includes identifying a target device associated with a target position indicator and determining whether, within a tolerance margin, the pointer devices points at the target device. A corresponding computer program product and computer system are also disclosed.

Abstract: A set of rules for assigning a transmission number to one or more computing devices is received. An indication from a first computing device is received. The indication includes a request for a transmission number. The transmission number for the first computing device is determined using the set of rules and a transmission window. The transmission number is transmitted to the first computing device.
