Abstract: A system for allowing an individual to request assistance in a retail environment, the system comprising: (a) providing a physical device comprising at least one sensor, wherein the at least one sensor is capable of recognizing a set of gestures; (b) providing software to distinguish unwanted gestures from desired gestures within the set of gestures; (c) providing a means of communicating a notification to store associates within the retail environment; and (d) providing a means of resetting or canceling the request for assistance. Alternatively, the device may house a low power secondary sensor that is capable of detecting motion and/or the heat signature of a human hand.
