Abstract: Systems and methods for autonomously generating temporally limited targeted offers and/or directed advertisements based on detected interaction between customers and products are provided. A regional monitoring system may detect the movement of a customer in the establishment. A customer that moves within a limited area of the establishment may be identified by targeted offer distribution circuitry as interested in one or more products in the area. A customer interest monitoring device detects interaction between the customer and the product. Using information obtained from the customer interest monitoring device, the targeted offer distribution circuitry autonomously generates a temporally limited targeted offer or directed advertisement. The targeted offer distribution circuitry delivers the targeted offer or directed advertisement to an output device proximate the customer or to a processor-based device or media carried or possessed by the customer.
