Abstract:
Described is a system for directing employee movement to maintain a minimum distance between any two employees on a sales floor, and maximize employee coverage on the sales floor. The system includes a first mobile computing device carried by a first employee. The first mobile computing device includes a proximity detection module that detects the proximity of a second mobile computing device carried by a second employee. If it is determined that the distance between the first and the second employee is too small, the first mobile computing device will output a motion direction instruction to the first employee, telling the first employee to change direction, thus increasing the distance between the first and the second employee. The mobile computing devices can be in communication with a base station that receives proximity information and helps coordinate employee coverage and motion direction instructions.

Claim (Index 8):
The base station device of  claim 7 , wherein:\n the first mobile computing device is carried by a first employee; the second mobile computing device is carried by a second employee; the base station device further comprises a coverage status module; the coverage status module determines whether the first employee is a part of a web of employees covering a retail sales floor; the coverage status module determines whether the second employee is a part of the web of employees covering the retail sales floor; and the direction module sends a motion direction instruction to the first mobile computing device in response to:\n the motion status module detecting the first mobile computing device and the second mobile computing device are both in motion; and \n the coverage status module determining both the first and the second employee are a part of the web of employees covering the retail sales floor.
