Abstract
A method and system for associating a mobile device carried by a shopper with Point-of-Sale (PoS) data from that shopper's transaction at a retail location. Specifically, the association can utilize face data that was associated with the mobile device to match face data that was generated by association with PoS data. The association with a mobile device can also include the calculation of a mobile trajectory to enable the generation of a shopper profile including shopper behavior. The mobile to PoS association can include tracking of the mobile device throughout a retail location to form a trajectory. The association of a face to a mobile device can utilize the device's MAC address and repeat visit analysis to determine a match. The association of a face to PoS data can utilize the aligning of event time series based on a dynamic time disparity to match checkout events with PoS events.
