Abstract
Systems and methods for automatically recognizing a user equipment (UE) associated with a person who enters a storefront are disclosed. A modified small cell (such as a femtocell or picocell) extracts, from a request to register or initiate a handover procedure, information identifying the user equipment (e.g., IMEI) and information indicating the identity of a user profile associated with the user equipment (e.g., IMSI). The IMEI and IMSI may be used to query a mobile carrier Home Subscriber Service (HSS) database to obtain customer information associated with the IMEI and IMSI data. The customer information may be used to query a database of the storefront to generate inventory information, such as promotional information or other marketing or sales information, which may be transmitted to the user equipment for display.
