Abstract
Techniques and arrangements for dynamically adjusting activity metrics and merchant states based, in part, on how many mobile electronic devices are currently located at the merchant. For example, if a number of mobile electronic devices is greater than a history of a number of devices, then it may be determined that the merchant is busy. If the number is less than the history of the number of devices, then it may be determined that the merchant is not busy.
