A SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR MEASURING THE CROWDEDNESS OF PEOPLE AT A PLACE

摘要

A method, system and apparatus for determining crowdedness at a location, using a first portable communication device having a proximity sensor, wherein the location of a first user is determined using the first portable communication device having an application installed on a memory module thereof, wherein the application is configured to connect to a location sensor embedded in the first portable communication device. The method and system further comprises sensing and identifying a second portable communication device in vicinity of the first user, followed by transmitting a media access control address (MAC address) of the identified second portable communication device to a remote fusion server. Further removing redundancies pertaining to the identified second portable communication device based on the MAC address received by the remote fusion server using a fusion algorithm to determine the crowdedness at the determined location.
