Engine Mode

There are two modes for the engine: "Kiosk" and "Big Space". The differences between the two are related to the trigger activation.

Kiosk
In Kiosk mode, the trigger is activated as soon as a person stands in front of the camera. The system analyzes the person's gender and starts its trigger, for the respective kind of consumer (by gender, age group, ...).
Big Space
"Engine Settings" has an option named "Big space tick frequency". This option is defined in minutes and refers to the time interval of analysis. If set to 30 (minutes) this means that, for 30 minutes the engine will analyze the consumer's data (gender, age group) without any trigger during that time. After 30 minutes and after find the predominant gender, the specific trigger will start.
