Abstract
A method for anchoring an interactive system for training and guiding cleaning professionals in the use of janitorial and cleaning product to clean surfaces within a room, includes a trainer mode and a trainee mode. The trainer selects a trainer anchor corner in the room that is selectable from the aerial view of the room displayed to the trainer and is a physical and fixed corner of the room. The trainee is prompted to provide an anchor corner to match the anchor corner left by the trainer.
Claims7
A method of anchoring an augmented reality experience for an interactive system for training and guiding cleaning professionals in the use of janitorial and cleaning product to clean surfaces within a plurality of rooms of a facility, the method comprising the steps of:
- (1) providing a database of information about the facility and the rooms of the facility to be cleaned, the information including a name for the facility and names of the rooms of the facility and locations of the rooms at the facility;
- (2) having a trainer select and set up one of the rooms to be cleaned for interaction with a trainee learning how to clean the room, by:
- a.) selecting one of the rooms and accessing via a trainer computer the database of information corresponding to the selected room, wherein the interactive system recognizes the trainer and loads pre-selective interactive display screens for interaction with the trainer, b) scanning the selected room with the trainer computer to generate and store an augmented reality map of room surfaces in the room, with the interactive system also displaying an aerial view of the room and prompting the trainer to select a trainer anchor corner in the room that is selectable from the aerial view of the room displayed to the trainer and is a physical and fixed corner of the room, c) interacting with the augmented reality map and selecting surfaces in the room on the map and selecting a surface name for selected surfaces and setting surface markers on the map for each of the selected surfaces to provide room information for each of the selected rooms, the interactive system creating a checklist of the selected surfaces, and saving the room information for the selected room;
- and
- (3) having a trainee interact with the training system to receive training, by:
- a. the trainee going to one of the rooms selected by the trainer and having a trainee computer that recognizes the trainee, the trainee accessing the room information saved by the trainer for the selected room, b. the trainee computer displaying to the trainee the stored augmented reality map of the selected room with the surface markers set by the trainer and the aerial view of the scanned room, c. the trainee being directed by the trainee computer to select from the displayed aerial view and augmented realty map a trainee anchor corner to match the trainer anchor corner left by the trainer, and d. the trainee selecting one of the surface markers and the trainee computer displaying to the trainee one or more tasks to be performed by the trainee, with the trainee thereafter taking action to complete the task, and interacting with the trainee computer to indicate that the task has been completed by the trainee.

An interactive system for training and guiding cleaning professionals in the use of janitorial and cleaning product to clean surfaces within a plurality of rooms of a facility, the system comprising:
- (1) a database of information about the facility and the rooms of the facility to be cleaned, the information including a name for the facility and names of the rooms of the facility and locations of the rooms at the facility;
- (2) a trainer mode used by a trainer to select and set up one of the rooms to be cleaned for interaction with a trainee learning how to clean the room, the trainer mode including the steps of:
- a. the trainer selecting one of the rooms and accessing via a trainer computer the database of information corresponding to the selected room, wherein the interactive system recognizes the trainer and loads pre-selective interactive display screens for interaction with the trainer,
- b. the trainer scanning the selected room with the trainer computer to generate and store an augmented reality map of room surfaces in the room, with the interactive system also displaying an aerial view of the room and prompting the trainer to select a trainer anchor corner in the room that is selectable from the aerial view of the room displayed to the trainer and is a physical and fixed corner of the room,
- c. the trainer interacting with the augmented reality map and selecting surfaces in the room on the map and selecting a surface name for selected surfaces and setting surface markers on the map for each of the selected surfaces to provide room information for each of the selected rooms, the interactive system creating a checklist of the selected surfaces, and
- d. the trainer saving the room information for the selected room;
- and
- (3) a trainee mode in which a trainee interacts with the training system to receive training, the trainee mode including the steps of:
- a. the trainee being directed by the trainer to one of the rooms selected by the trainer and having a trainee computer that recognizes the trainee, the trainee accessing the room information saved by the trainer for the selected room,
- b. the trainee computer displaying to the trainee the stored augmented reality map of the selected room with the surface markers set by the trainer and the aerial view of the scanned room,
- c. the trainee being directed by the trainee computer to select from the displayed aerial view and augmented realty map a trainee anchor corner to match the trainer anchor corner left by the trainer, and
- d. the trainee selecting one of the surface markers and the trainee computer displaying to the trainee one or more tasks to be performed by the trainee, with the trainee thereafter taking action to complete the task, and interacting with the trainee computer to indicate that the task has been completed by the trainee.
