Abstract

A method of point of interest (POI) load balancing includes storing load profile data of a plurality of POIs, monitoring a position of a mobile device, determining an arrival of the mobile device at a first POI of the plurality of POIs, measuring a duration of stay of the mobile device at the first POI, determining whether the duration of stay of the mobile device at the first POI exceeds a preset time threshold for the first POI, and sending an incentive for a second POI of the plurality of POIs to the mobile device upon the mobile device exceeding the preset time threshold for the first POI.
