Abstract
A dispensing system for use in an area of interest, the system comprising at least one device for sanitize conditioning a medium, a sentry for detecting an object and for communicating with the at least one device, the sentry itself comprising a detector for detecting the object and a controller, operatively coupled to the detector, for maintaining a count of the number of objects detected by the detector, wherein the controller transmits one or more variables, based on the count, to the at least one device to cause the at least one device to sanitize condition the medium in accordance with the one or more variables.
Claims22
A dispensing system for use in an area of interest, the system comprising:
- at least one device for sanitize conditioning a medium;
- a sentry for detecting an object and for communicating with the at least one device, the sentry comprising:
- a detector for detecting the object;
- a controller, operatively coupled to the detector, for maintaining a count of the number of objects detected by the detector;
- wherein the controller transmits one or more variables, based on the count, to the at least one device to cause the at least one device to sanitize condition the medium in accordance with the one or more variables.
A dispensing system for use in an area of interest, the system comprising:
- at least one device for sanitize conditioning a medium;
- a sentry for detecting at least one of a vapor, odor, smell or fragrance and for communicating with the at least one device, the sentry comprising:
- a detector for detecting the vapor, odor, smell or fragrance;
- a controller, operatively coupled to the detector, for processing the detected vapor, odor, smell or fragrance;
- wherein the controller transmits one or more variables, based on the processing, to the at least one device to cause the at least one device to sanitize condition the medium in accordance with the one or more variables.
A dispensing system for use in an area of interest, the system comprising:
- at least one device for sanitize conditioning a medium;
- a sentry for detecting an object and for communicating with the at least one device, the sentry comprising:
- a detector for detecting the object;
- a controller, operatively coupled to the detector, for maintaining a count of the number of objects detected by the detector;
- wherein the controller transmits information, based on the count, to the at least one device to cause the at least one device to sanitize condition the medium in accordance with one or more variables.
A method of sanitize conditioning at least one medium in an area of interest with a dispensing system comprising at least one device for sanitize conditioning the medium and a sentry for detecting an object and for communicating with the at least one device, the method comprising the steps of:
- detecting an object and maintaining a count of the number of objects detected;
- transmitting one or more variables, based on the count, to the at least one device to cause the at least one device to sanitize condition the medium in accordance with the one or more variables.
