Claim 16:
17. A method for displaying a value, said method comprising:
(a) providing a housing comprising:
(i) one or more sensors comprising an ultrasonic sensor for detecting an ultrasonic signal corresponding with one or more objects entering a space or exiting said space, thereby producing location data for said one or more objects;
(ii) one or more microcontrollers that (1) receives said location data from said ultrasonic sensor, and (2) calculates said value, based, at least in part, on said location data received in (1) from said ultrasonic sensor; and
(iii) a display disposed on a surface of said housing that displays said value; and

(b) transmitting, by said one or more microcontrollers, said value to a server, wherein said server transmits said value to one or more electronic devices in wireless communication with said server and said one or more microcontrollers,
wherein said value is calculated in (2) by a method comprising:
calculating an average time for a first object of said one or more objects to enter said space and a second object of said one or more objects to exit said space; and
multiplying said average time calculated in (a) by a number of said one or more electronic devices that is in wireless communication with said one or more microcontrollers, wherein said value comprises an estimated wait time to enter said space.
