Abstract
The present disclosure relates to systems and methods for sanitizing an enclosed space that can be shared among multiple persons. In some embodiments, a sanitation system detects a current environmental condition associated with the enclosed space to generate sensor data. The sanitation system then obtains or generates a sanitation routine based at least in part on the sensor data. Based on the sanitation routine, the sanitation system causes a component associated with the enclosed space to adjust the current environmental condition toward a target environmental condition, where the sanitation routine specifies the component and the target environmental condition.
Claims20
A system for sanitizing an enclosed space, the system comprising:
- a plurality of sensors configured to:
- detect a current environmental condition associated with the enclosed space;
- and
- generate a first sensor data based on the current environmental condition;
- and
- a processor configured to:
- obtain a sanitation routine or generate the sanitation routine based at least in part on the first sensor data;
- and
- execute the sanitation routine,
- wherein the sanitation routine specifies at least a target environmental condition and a component associated with the enclosed space, and wherein the sanitation routine, when executed by the processor, causes the component to adjust the current environmental condition toward the target environmental condition.
A computer-implemented method for sanitizing an enclosed space, wherein the enclosed space comprises a plurality of sensors and a processor, the method comprising:
- detecting, by the plurality of sensors, a current environmental condition associated with the enclosed space;
- generating, by the plurality of sensors, a first sensor data based on the current environmental condition;
- receiving or generating, by the processor, a sanitation routine, wherein the sanitation routine is generated based at least in part on the first sensor data;
- and
- causing, by the processor, a component associated with the enclosed space to adjust the current environmental condition associated with the enclosed space toward a target environmental condition,
- wherein the sanitation routine specifies at least the target environmental condition and the component associated with the enclosed space.
One or more non-transitory computer-readable media comprising instructions executable at a sanitation system of an enclosed space, wherein the instructions, when executed by the sanitation system, cause the sanitation system to:
- detect a current environmental condition associated with the enclosed space;
- generate a first sensor data based on the current environmental condition;
- generate a sanitation routine based at least in part on the first sensor data;
- and
- execute the sanitation routine,
- wherein the sanitation routine specifies at least a target environmental condition and a component associated with the enclosed space, and wherein executing the sanitation routine causes the component to adjust the current environmental condition toward the target environmental condition.
