摘要

An approach that automatically distinguishes between in-store customers and in-store employees is provided. In one embodiment, there is a learning tool configured to construct a model for an in-store employee; a matching tool configured to match attributes between a particular person and the constructed models for an in-store employee; and a classifying tool configured to classify persons into categories of employees and customers based on amount of matching attributes between a particular person and the model for an in-store employee.
