Integrated electronic article surveillance and people counting system

The system has an electronic article surveillance (EAS) system detecting presence of an active EAS marker in an interrogation zone of a passageway (409) to provide an EAS data signal representing the EAS data. A people counting system (400) counts people passing through the passageway to provide a p...

Zusammenfassung:	The system has an electronic article surveillance (EAS) system detecting presence of an active EAS marker in an interrogation zone of a passageway (409) to provide an EAS data signal representing the EAS data. A people counting system (400) counts people passing through the passageway to provide a people count signal indicating people count data. An alarm management unit accepts the EAS signal and the people count signal. Independent claims are also included for the following: (a) a method for monitoring a passageway (b) a method of determining a direction of travel of people (c) a machine readable medium whose contents cause a computer system to perform a method of integrating EAS data and people count data (d) a machine readable medium whose contents cause a computer system to perform a method of determining a direction of travel of people.
