Hygiene tracking compliance
View Patent ↗One or more techniques and/or systems are provided for personal tracking of hygiene compliance of a user. For example, a mobile device may host a tracking component (e.g., a personal hygiene compliance app deployed on a cell phone or tablet). The tracking component may be configured to establish a communication connection, such as a Bluetooth communication connect, with a hygiene device (e.g., a soap dispenser). The tracking component may generate either a hygiene compliance metric or a non-hygiene compliance metric based upon whether a dispense event notification, indicating compliance by the user with a hygiene opportunity, is received from the hygiene device. In this way, the user may personally track hygiene compliance information based upon automated communication signals shared between the mobile device and the hygiene device.
1. A method for tracking hygiene compliance of a user, comprising:
receiving a connection request from a hygiene device;
establishing a communication connection between a mobile device and the hygiene device based upon the connection request;
receiving a user zone entry notification from the hygiene device, the user zone entry notification indicating that the mobile device is within a hygiene zone associated with the hygiene device;
responsive to receiving a dispense event notification from the hygiene device, after receiving the user zone entry notification, generating a hygiene compliance metric for the user;
responsive to not receiving the dispense event notification before at least one of expiration of a threshold time or receiving a user zone exit notification, after receiving the user zone entry notification, generating a hygiene non-compliance metric for the user; and
displaying at least one of the hygiene compliance metric, the hygiene non-compliance metric, or a hygiene compliance opportunity alert generated based upon the user zone entry notification through a personalized hygiene compliance tracking interface hosted by the mobile device.
2. The method of claim 1 , comprising:
providing an audio notification of the hygiene compliance opportunity alert through the mobile device.
3. The method of claim 1 , comprising:
providing a vibration notification of the hygiene compliance opportunity alert through the mobile device.
4. The method of claim 1 , the receiving a user zone entry notification comprising:
generating a zone entry metric for the user.
5. The method of claim 1 , comprising:
displaying a map through the mobile device, the map populated with one or more hygiene device indicators.
6. The method of claim 1 , the receiving a connection request comprising:
receiving, by the mobile device, a wireless signal from the hygiene device, the wireless signal comprising the connection request.
7. The method of claim 1 , the communication connection comprising a 2-way wireless communication connection.
8. The method of claim 7 , comprising:
sending a programming instruction to the hygiene device over the communication connection.
9. The method of claim 8 , the programming instruction specifying at least one of a location of the hygiene device or a hygiene zone definition of the hygiene zone.
10. The method of claim 1 , comprising:
sending at least one of the hygiene compliance metric or the hygiene non-compliance metric to a centralized processing device for community hygiene compliance aggregation.
11. The method of claim 10 , comprising:
receiving an aggregated community hygiene compliance metric from the centralized processing device; and
displaying the aggregated community hygiene compliance metric through the mobile device.
12. The method of claim 1 , comprising:
providing the hygiene non-compliance metric to a second user.
13. The method of claim 1 , comprising:
providing the hygiene compliance metric to a second user.
14. A system for tracking hygiene compliance of a user, comprising:
a tracking component configured to:
receive a connection request from a hygiene device;
establish a communication connection between a mobile device and the hygiene device based upon the connection request;
populate a map with a hygiene device indicator, representing the hygiene device, at a location within the map that represents a physical location of the hygiene device:
display the map through a user interface of the mobile device;
receive a user zone entry notification from the hygiene device, the user zone entry notification indicating that the mobile device is within a hygiene zone associated with the hygiene device;
responsive to receiving a dispense event notification from the hygiene device, after receiving the user zone entry notification, generate a hygiene compliance metric for the user; and
responsive to not receiving the dispense event notification before at least one of expiration of a threshold time or receiving a user zone exit notification, after receiving the user zone entry notification, generate a hygiene non-compliance metric for the user.
15. The system of claim 14 , comprising:
a personalized hygiene compliance tracking component configured to:
display at least one of the hygiene compliance metric or the hygiene non-compliance metric through a personalized hygiene compliance tracking interface.
16. The system of claim 14 , the tracking component configured to:
provide a hygiene compliance opportunity alert based upon the user zone entry notification.
17. The system of claim 15 , the personalized hygiene compliance tracking component configured to:
display an aggregated community hygiene compliance metric through the mobile device, the aggregated community hygiene compliance metric corresponding to an aggregate of at least one of the hygiene compliance metric or the hygiene non-compliance metric with hygiene metrics of one or more community users.
18. The system of claim 14 , the communication connection comprising a 2-way wireless communication connection.
19. The system of claim 18 , comprising:
a programming component configured to:
send a programming instruction to the hygiene device over the communication connection.
20. A non-transitory computer readable medium comprising instructions which when executed perform a method for tracking hygiene compliance of a user, comprising:
receiving a connection request from a hygiene device;
establishing a communication connection between a mobile device and the hygiene device based upon the connection request;
sending a programming instruction from the mobile device to the hygiene device over the communication connection, the programming instruction specifying a hygiene zone definition of a hygiene zone;
receiving a user zone entry notification from the hygiene device, the user zone entry notification indicating that the mobile device is within the hygiene zone;
responsive to receiving a dispense event notification from the hygiene device, after receiving the user zone entry notification, generating a hygiene compliance metric for the user; and
responsive to not receiving the dispense event notification before at least one of expiration of a threshold time or receiving a user zone exit notification, after receiving the user zone entry notification, generating a hygiene non-compliance metric for the user.
