Abstract:
An entry portal to a facility may include radio receivers with directional antennas and cameras at known positions in the facility. The receivers acquire device identifier and device data from a mobile device carried by a user passing through the portal. Portal data is generated that is indicative of the coverage volume of a particular antenna that received a signal carrying the device identifier and signal strength of that signal. The cameras acquire images of the user. Other sensors may acquire other information included in the portal data. The portal data, device data, device identifier, and the images are processed to associate a particular account with a person passing through the entry portal. Subsequently, that person may then be tracked using images from other cameras in the facility.
