Provisional Patent Application Filed — May 2026 | Inventor: Ohyoung Kwon | Patent-pending architecture covering predictive retail risk intelligence, localized response control, and privacy-conscious evidence handling.
Built as a privacy-first, non-biometric control layer for predictive loss prevention across store sizes, formats, and categories.

Retail theft is harder to manage

Store teams need practical tools that help identify risk movement earlier, before loss or confrontation escalates.

Response needs better timing

Instead of relying only on broad alarms or direct confrontation, retailers need earlier, more targeted ways to respond before incidents escalate.

Employees need safer support

Better tools can help staff focus attention more safely while supporting a more consistent, non-confrontational process.

Market Opportunity

Large market. Urgent problem. Expanding technology window.

Retailers are under pressure to reduce shrink, improve staff safety, and move beyond passive video review. Atorq is positioned at the intersection of retail loss prevention, AI video analytics, and privacy-conscious store operations.

$112.1B U.S. retail shrink reported for FY 2022, according to NRF’s National Retail Security Survey.
$37.84B Projected global video analytics market size by 2030, according to Grand View Research.
86% Reported organized retail criminals verbally threatened store employees.

01 Market Problem

Retailers face increasing theft, organized retail crime, and employee safety pressure.

02 Loss Impact

Annual shrink creates a significant financial burden across U.S. retail operations.

03 Prevent Earlier

Stores need tools that support earlier, safer, non-confrontational prevention before escalation.

04 Respect Privacy

Retail safety technology should support loss prevention while avoiding unnecessary personal exposure.

A control layer between detection, prediction, and safer retail response.

Atorq is focused on helping retailers move beyond passive video review by connecting predictive risk intelligence, localized response control, and privacy-conscious evidence handling. The approach is designed to support a wide range of retail environments across store sizes, formats, and merchandise categories.

Cross-zone event continuity

Supports continuity of retail risk events across store areas without presenting activity as isolated, disconnected moments.

Predictive zone pre-activation

Supports earlier action by helping retailers prepare for where risk may move before escalation.

Localized response control

Supports targeted, non-confrontational response concepts designed for real-world retail operations.

Privacy-conscious evidence handling

Supports safer review, documentation, and evidence workflows while avoiding unnecessary personal exposure.

Atorq is currently in an early development and intellectual property protection stage. Detailed technical information is shared only under appropriate confidentiality arrangements.
