Summary
This study introduces a novel system for offline customer context analysis (CCA) in shopping malls. It integrates customer behavior and location data to enhance marketing decisions for retailers.
Area of Science:
- Marketing Analytics
- Behavioral Science
- Computer Science
Background:
- Offline customer context analysis (CCA) is crucial for retail marketing decisions.
- Understanding customer interest and purchase behavior in physical stores is challenging.
Purpose of the Study:
- To propose an integrated system for offline customer context analysis.
- To enhance marketing decision-making for brick-and-mortar retailers.
Main Methods:
- Customer behavior modeling using time-frequency domain analysis, distinguishing movement-related behaviors (MB) and semantic-related behaviors (SB).
- Deep-learning-based pedestrian dead reckoning (DPDR) for store-level autonomous positioning, aided by behavior recognition and a node map.
Main Results:
- The system effectively integrates customer behavior and location data for comprehensive CCA.
- Movement-related behaviors assist localization, while positioning refines semantic behavior recognition, enabling accurate CCA generation.
Conclusions:
- The proposed system offers a robust solution for offline customer context analysis.
- This approach provides valuable insights for retailers to optimize marketing strategies and customer engagement.

Stereotype Content Model
13.9K
The Stereotype Content Model (SCM) was first proposed by Susan Fiske and her colleagues (Fiske, Cuddy, Glick & Xu, 2002; see also Fiske, 2012 and Fiske, 2017). The SCM specifies that when someone encounters a new group, they will stereotype them based on two metrics: warmth—or that group’s perceived intent, and how likely they are to provide help or inflict harm—and competence—or their ability to carry out that objective. Depending on the warmth-competence...

Design Example: Identifying the Locations of Monuments in the Field Using Global Positioning System Device
19
Surveyors use Global Positioning System (GPS) technology to measure the precise location and elevation of points on Earth. In a recent survey, GPS receivers were used to determine the coordinates and elevations of two park monuments. The process involved careful mission planning, data collection, and correction to ensure accuracy. The survey began with mission planning to identify optimal satellite visibility and minimize Position Dilution of Precision (PDOP). A geodetic control point...
