Prior arrangement information is automatically fetched in response to detection that a radio presence advertising mobile device of a user is disposed in a region of interest that is operatively adjacent to a transaction-processing location. The fetched information is used to automatically modify the transaction.

Associating prior arrangements with on-premise manual transactions and concomitant presence of actor's presence-advertising emitter in fine resolution region

A radio presence-advertising signal (PAS) a PAS emitter is simultaneously received at two or more co-located directional antennas that are coupled to respective radio receivers. The antennas have reception sensitivity lobes that overlap to define a region of interest at the overlap. Substantially cotemporaneous signal strength indications are obtained from the radio receivers. A difference signal representative of a difference between two of the obtained signal strength indications of the respective antennas is generated. An average signal representative of a running average of two or more of the obtained signal strength indications is generated and used to produce a normalized confidence indicator indicating a level of confidence that the PAS emitter is disposed inside (e.g., centered in) the region of interest or alternatively indicating a level of confidence that the PAS emitter is disposed outside the region of interest. Action is taken or avoided based on the confidence signal.
