Disney's patent acquisition system is to monitor the behavior of guests by using different cameras to scan different shoes for each guest who visited and use it for service provision. When guests come to the park, they scan the shoes with the camera and sensors installed at the entrance. In doing so, a system that realizes Disney's aim of "providing a tailor-made experience for each individual" by integrating the name of the guest, the place of residence, contents of interest, etc. in the data of the shoes Is conceived.


Cameras and sensors are also installed in park entrance as well as robots that move around automatically in each facility or park and scan shoes worn by surrounding guests with camera and depth sensor. The data obtained here is sent to the database and matches with the information obtained at the entrance and grasps the behavior pattern of the guest. Then, when guests next visit the facility, a mechanism is devised to provide services and experiences according to that person.


To understand visitor behavior patterns, it is common to use face recognition technology, but it is also an interesting idea to utilize different shoes for each person in the same way.
