Identifiable People Tracking System Using Wi-Fi Probe packet

Measuring the flow of people and utilizing them is a technology that is required in various fields such as economics, marketing, search for lost or lame people and psychological behavior analysis. Recently, research using image processing or Doppler radar has been conducted for measurement the flow of people. However, it is unable to use for follow-up survey on how to move from a point because it is difficult to identify a person in any of the studies. On the other hand, in Japan, according to the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications, the ownership rate of smartphones exceeds 75% in all households. With the spread of smartphones in recent years, many people have smartphones. Therefore, we propose a method for measuring the flow of people using information from smartphones because if it is possible to collect information from smartphones, it is possible to realize a more detailed measurement the flow of people as to what kind of action each person takes. When the experiment by the prototype was done, it could measure to some extent such as time which there are many people or few.
