Abstract
Provided is a method, computer program product, and drying system for determining a dryness level of a garment. A processor of a controller may receive location data from a position sensor. The location data indicates a position of one or more garments on a drying rack. The processor may register the location of the one or more garments on a virtual map of the drying rack displayed on a user interface of the controller. The processor may receive dryness data for the one or more garments from a moisture sensor. The processor may compare the dryness data to a dryness threshold. In response to the dryness data meeting the dryness threshold, the processor may push a notification to a user.
Claims20
A drying system, comprising:
- a drying rack having a plurality of drying members, wherein each drying member is configured to receive one or more garments;
- a controller, wherein the controller includes a processor;
- and
- a computer-readable storage medium communicatively coupled to the processor and storing program instructions which, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to perform a method comprising:
- receiving location data from a position sensor, wherein the location data indicates a position of the one or more garments on the drying rack;
- registering the location of the one or more garments on a virtual map of the drying rack displayed on a user interface of the controller;
- receiving dryness data for the one or more garments from a moisture sensor;
- comparing the dryness data to a dryness threshold;
- and
- pushing, in response to the dryness data meeting the dryness threshold, a notification to a user, wherein the method further comprises analyzing the location data and the dryness data;
- determining a drying rate for the one or more garments at respective locations on the drying rack;
- and generating a tracking profile for each of the one or more garments, wherein the tracking profile indicates a position on the drying rack that produces a fastest drying rate for each respective garment.
A computer implemented method comprising:
- receiving location data from a position sensor, wherein the location data indicates a position of one or more garments on a drying rack;
- registering the location of the one or more garments on a virtual map of the drying rack displayed on a user interface of a controller;
- receiving dryness data for the one or more garments from a moisture sensor;
- comparing the dryness data to a dryness threshold;
- and
- pushing, in response to the dryness data meeting the dryness threshold, a notification to a user, wherein the method further comprises analyzing the location data and the dryness data;
- determining a drying rate for the one or more garments at respective locations on the drying rack;
- and generating a tracking profile for each of the one or more garments, wherein the tracking profile indicates a position on the drying rack that produces a fastest drying rate for each respective garment.
A computer program product comprising a computer-readable storage medium having program instructions embodied therewith, wherein the computer-readable storage medium is not a transitory signal per se, the program instructions executable by a processor to cause the processor to perform a method comprising:
- receiving location data from a position sensor, wherein the location data indicates a position of one or more garments on a drying rack;
- registering the location of the one or more garments on a virtual map of the drying rack displayed on a user interface of a controller;
- receiving dryness data for the one or more garments from a moisture sensor;
- comparing the dryness data to a dryness threshold;
- and
- pushing, in response to the dryness data meeting the dryness threshold, a notification to a user, wherein the method further comprises analyzing the location data and the dryness data;
- determining a drying rate for the one or more garments at respective locations on the drying rack;
- and generating a tracking profile for each of the one or more garments, wherein the tracking profile indicates a position on the drying rack that produces a fastest drying rate for each respective garment.
