Abstract
Various implementations disclosed herein include a method for aiding disinfection of a room. The method may include collecting, by one or more sensors in a disinfection system, activity data in the room. A computing device or output device may identify one or more hot spots from the activity data, in which the one or more hot spots indicate areas in the room for cleaning, and generate a contamination map containing the one or more hot spots. The output device may output the contamination map to an output device for viewing by a user.
Claims15
A disinfection system, comprising:
- one or more sensors configured to:
- collect activity data and cleaning activity data in a room;
- and
- output the activity data and the cleaning activity data;
- and
- an output device configured to:
- receive the activity data and the cleaning activity data from the one or more sensors;
- identify one or more hot spots based on the activity data, wherein the one or more hot spots indicate areas in the room for cleaning;
- generate a contamination map containing the one or more hot spots;
- display the contamination map to a user;
- update the contamination map based on the cleaning activity data, wherein the update comprises at least one of indicating how long a disinfectant has been set on the one or more hot spots, indicating a measured dose of the disinfectant applied to the one or more hot spots, and indicating whether the measured dose is sufficient to disinfect the one or more hot spots;
- and
- display the updated contamination map to the user.

A method for aiding disinfection of a room, the method comprising:
- collecting, by one or more sensors, activity data in the room;
- identifying one or more hot spots from the activity data, wherein the one or more hot spots indicate areas in the room for cleaning;
- generating a contamination map containing the one or more hot spots;
- outputting the contamination map to an output device for viewing by a user;
- collecting, by the one or more sensors, cleaning activity data in the room as it is cleaned;
- and
- updating the contamination map based on the cleaning activity data, wherein the updating comprises at least one of indicating how long a disinfectant has been set on the one or more hot spots, indicating a measured dose of the disinfectant applied to the one or more hot spots, and indicating whether the measured dose is sufficient to disinfect the one or more hot spots.
