Abstract
A payment terminal computer program may track entry to, presence in, and exit from an area using ultrawideband (UWB) radio technology by: receiving, from an UWB radio, first information to determine a first distance between a UWB radio-enabled mobile electronic device and the UWB radio or a first position of the UWB radio-enabled mobile electronic device; determining that the UWB radio-enabled mobile electronic device is at an entrance to the area based on the first distance or position; receiving, from the UWB radio, second information to determine a second distance between the UWB radio-enabled mobile electronic device and the UWB radio or a second position of the UWB radio-enabled mobile electronic device; determining that the UWB radio-enabled mobile electronic device is at an exit from the area based on the second distance or position; and determining a fee based on the first communication and the second communication.
