Abstract
A health and safety compliance system includes processor(s), where the processor(s) are communicatively coupled to a user interface. The user interface includes a display screen, where the display screen is capable of displaying electronic image(s) and is communicatively coupled to the processor(s). The system also includes (i) a sensor unit that is communicatively coupled to the processor(s) and is capable of detecting motion of a user, (ii) a liquid dispensing unit that is communicatively coupled to the processor(s), and (iii) a temperature detection unit that is communicatively coupled to the processor(s).
Claims28
A health and safety compliance system comprising:
- one or more processors, wherein the one or more processors are communicatively coupled to a user interface;
- the user interface comprising a display screen, wherein the display screen is capable of displaying one or more electronic images and wherein the display screen is communicatively coupled to the one or more processors;
- a sensor unit capable of detecting motion of a user, wherein the sensor unit is communicatively coupled to the one or more processors;
- a liquid dispensing unit communicatively coupled to the one or more processors;
- a temperature detection unit communicatively coupled to the one or more processors;
- an ultraviolet light assembly configured to sanitize at least one surface of the user interface;
- and
- an ultraviolet-light-emission control unit coupled to the ultraviolet light assembly and the one or more processors, wherein the ultraviolet-light-emission control unit is capable of controlling the ultraviolet light assembly.
5 more elements
A computer-implemented method comprising:
- providing, by one or more processors and via a user interface of an electronic device, one or more interactive elements, the one or more interactive elements including a request for a user to perform an action;
- determining, by the one or more processors, that the action was performed by the user;
- providing, via the user interface and based on the determining that the action was performed, at least one other interactive element of the one or more interactive elements, the at least one other interactive element including an additional request for the user to perform one or more additional actions;
- determining, by the one or more processors, whether the one or more additional actions were satisfactorily performed by the user;
- transmitting, based on the determining whether the one or more additional actions were satisfactorily performed, an electronic signal to an other electronic device, the electronic signal facilitating regulating access to a restricted location via a location-access point that is communicatively coupled, via electronic circuitry, with the electronic device;
- and
- wherein the action includes sanitizing a device contacting surface to be used, by the user, to touch the electronic device, and wherein the determining that the action was performed comprises detecting presence of the device contacting surface within a defined proximity of a liquid dispensing unit of the electronic device, and
- dispensing a liquid onto the device contacting surface.
5 more elements
A computer program product comprising:
- a computer readable storage medium readable by a processing circuit and storing instructions for execution by the processing circuit for performing a method comprising:
- providing, by one or more processors of the processing circuit and via a user interface of an electronic device, one or more interactive elements, the one or more interactive elements including a request for a user to perform an action;
- determining, by the one or more processors, that the action was performed by the user;
- providing, via the user interface and based on the determining that the action was performed, at least one other interactive element of the one or more interactive elements, the at least one other interactive element including an additional request for the user to perform one or more additional actions;
- determining, by the one or more processors, whether the one or more additional actions were satisfactorily performed by the user;
- transmitting, based on the determining whether the one or more additional actions were satisfactorily performed, an electronic signal to an other electronic device, the electronic signal facilitating regulating access to a restricted location via a location-access point that is communicatively coupled, via electronic circuitry, with the electronic device;
- and
- wherein the action includes sanitizing a device contacting surface to be used, by the user, to touch the electronic device, and wherein the determining that the action was performed comprises detecting presence of the device contacting surface within a defined proximity of a liquid dispensing unit of the electronic device, and
- dispensing a liquid onto the device contacting surface.
6 more elements
A computer-implemented method comprising:
- providing, by one or more processors and via a user interface of an electronic device, one or more interactive elements, the one or more interactive elements including a request for a user to perform an action;
- determining, by the one or more processors, that the action was performed by the user;
- providing, via the user interface and based on the determining that the action was performed, at least one other interactive element of the one or more interactive elements, the at least one other interactive element including an additional request for the user to perform one or more additional actions;
- determining, by the one or more processors, that the one or more additional actions were not satisfactorily performed by the user;
- based on the determining that the one or more additional actions were not satisfactorily performed by the user, sending, by the one or more processors, a notification to an other electronic device of an other user;
- and
- wherein the action includes sanitizing a device contacting surface to be used, by the user, to touch the electronic device, and wherein the determining that the action was performed comprises detecting presence of the device contacting surface within a defined proximity of a liquid dispensing unit of the electronic device, and
- dispensing a liquid onto the device contacting surface.
