  • Patent number: 10242384
    Abstract: A location-based product recommendation system uses consumer profile data, a network of beacons that emit unique identifiers, and a recommender to determine current product-correlated location information for a space in which a consumer's mobile device is physically present. The system may use the current product-correlated location information and the consumer's profile data to generate a recommendation for a candidate product for the consumer to consider. The system also may incorporate data from other interactions with products such as purchases, clicks on a website, etc. The system also may incorporate data generated on multiple channels (e.g., a product click on a personal computer at work, a mobile device location in a physical store, a product purchase on a personal computer in the home) into a single profile for the consumer.

  • Patent number: 9942724
    Abstract: A system creates a content-based mapping of a physical space based on data received from beacons positioned at various locations in a physical space. Each beacon transmits a unique beacon identifier. When a mobile device detects a beacon identifier, the mobile device may also detect the signal strength of the transmitted identifier. If, with or shortly after detecting the beacon identifier, the mobile device is used to view content that is present in the physical space, the system may use the content information, the beacon identifier and the signal strength to build content-based floor map of the physical space.
