Embodiments may include at least one processor configured to access a retail establishment layout having at least one location designated as a fitting room; receive via at least one wireless receiver, wireless signals from a plurality of wireless tags attached to associated products; access a data structure linking each product with a wireless tag and a product family; determine, based on the wireless signals, each product that is newly in the fitting room; for each product newly in the fitting room, increase an engagement count for the associated product family; for each product family, receive an indication of each sale and increase a sale count for the product family; and calculate, from the engagement count and the sale count, a conversion score for each product family.

Example implementations include a method, apparatus and computer-readable medium of controlling a security system by a computer device, comprising receiving device metadata associated with a device in communication with a wireless communication access point. The implementations further include determining that the device metadata comprises matched device metadata based on a match with one of a plurality of previously-identified device metadata in a historical database that stores the plurality of previously-identified device metadata in association with one or more of a plurality of security breach events and a corresponding one of a plurality of security breach probability values. Additionally, the implementations further include determining that the matched device metadata corresponds with a security breach probability value that exceeds a security breach probability threshold. Additionally, the implementations further include generating an alert and sending the alert to a security system device, wherein the alert is configured to initiate a security function.

A method, system and devices of controlling an electronic article surveillance tag in an electronic article surveillance system, the tag including a detector for detecting tampering, the system including a positioning sub-system for determining a position of said tag and a control sub-system for controlling operation of said system. A first status message may be received from the electronic article surveillance tag to the control sub-system over a communications connection at a first time instance, and a first state of the tag may be determined by the control sub-system based on the first status message. The first state may be stored in a memory. A first control message may be sent from the control sub-system to the tag, the control message being formed based on the first state, and the operation of the tag may be altered based on the first control message.

Embodiments disclosed generally relate to a wireless identification tag with a response time that varies as a function of incoming signal frequency and system and methods for use thereof. In one implementation, the tag may include at least one antenna tuned to receive energy transmitted at a first frequency and at a second frequency. The tag may also include at least one transmitter. The tag may also include at least one circuit configured to detect whether energy is received in the first frequency or the second frequency, and to cause the at least one transmitter to transmit an immediate response when the second frequency is detected and to transmit a delayed response when the first frequency is detected.

A transponder for securing a product displayed in a shop. The transponder includes two blocks each including a contact surface, the contact surfaces being positioned face to face, the blocks being connected to each other by an adjustable connection, that allows to manually adjust the moving closer together or farther apart of the blocks with respect to one another, thus allowing the transponder to be attached to a suitable element of the product, by gripping the element between the contact surfaces of the blocks, one of the blocks including wireless detection and transmission equipment, which allows the remote management of the presence of the transponder on the suitable element.
