According an article from the Times, customers in shopping centers are having their every move tracked. Using cellphone signals, the system can tell when people enter the center, how long they stay in a particular shop, and what route each customer takes. The system works by monitoring the signals produced by mobile handsets and then locating the phone by triangulation. The particular tracking device described by the article is made by an English company called Path Intelligence. (link) [Slashdot]Mon, 19 May 2008 06:20 /Politics | 0 writebacks | permanent link |
