System and method for providing a discrete workspace
This application describes systems and methods for locating, securing, accessing and utilizing a discrete enclosure or workspace. The discrete enclosure or workspace may be located in a public, private or semi-private setting and may comprise a combination of working platforms or surfaces, seats, desks and other apparatus, as well as computer hardware and software. Systems may comprise natural language processing, artificial intelligence, machine learning and other adaptive learning capabilities to enhance the use of the discrete workspace. The workspace may be dimensioned to be used for a wide variety of activities by one or more users.
1. A system for conducting private activities, comprising:
an enclosed structure that creates an environment that allows a user to reserve and confirm the session in advance, the enclosed structure having a door associated with an accelerometer configured to track the state of the door being open, closed, or partially opened or closed, wherein:
the system provides a secure and personalized internal environment, access to furniture, electronic power sources, display screens, and selective network connectivity;
wherein the enclosed structure is locked after the user has vacated, and further comprising a disinfecting system that exposes the interior of the enclosed structure to a mist of disinfectant, a disinfecting environment, air that includes a disinfectant, ultra-violet radiation, a vacuum, or an inert gas for a predetermined amount of time;
wherein the enclosed structure provides dynamic pricing blocks to the user and collects and validates user payment associated with use of the enclosed structure; and
wherein the enclosed structure traffics media and advertisements that is provided on the display.
2. The system of claim 1 , wherein the disinfecting system initiates automatically after the enclosed structure is locked.
3. The system of claim 1 , further comprising a sensor that monitors the air within the enclosed structure to verify an absence of pathogen or to identify a number of pathogens present.
4. The system of claim 3 , wherein the enclosed structure remains locked until the number of pathogens present in the air is below a predetermined level.
5. The system of claim 1 , further comprising a series of sensors to determine whether the user has entered the enclosed structure, and further configured to prompt the user to commence a session.
6. The system of claim 5 , wherein the series of sensors are pressure sensors.
7. The system of claim 5 , wherein the series of sensors are force sensors.
8. The system of claim 5 , wherein the series of sensors are located beneath the floor of the enclosed structure.
9. A system for conducting private activities, comprising:
an enclosed structure that creates an environment that allows a user to reserve, customize, and confirm a session in advance, the enclosed structure comprising a ceiling, a floor, a plurality of walls interconnecting the ceiling to the floor, and a door in one wall that selectively provides access to an internal volume of the enclosed structure;
wherein the enclosed structure includes: a desk, a chair, an electronic power source, a display screen, and selective network connectivity;
an accelerometer configured to track the state of the door being open, closed, or partially opened or closed;
a liquid sensor associated with at least one of the desk, the chair, the electronic power source, and the display screen;
wherein the enclosed structure is locked after the user has vacated, and further comprising a disinfecting system that exposes the interior of the enclosed structure to a mist of disinfectant, a disinfecting environment, air that includes a disinfectant, ultra-violet radiation, a vacuum, or an inert gas for a predetermined amount of time;
wherein the enclosed structure provides dynamic pricing blocks to the user and collects and validates user payment associated with use of the enclosed structure; and
wherein the enclosed structure traffics media and advertisements that is provided on the display.
10. The system of claim 9 , further comprising a series of sensors associated with the floor configured to determine whether a user has entered the enclosed structure, and further comprising a speaker configured to prompt the user to commence the session.
11. The system of claim 9 , wherein the desk includes a channel for routing liquid to the exterior of the enclosure or into a bladder.
12. The system of claim 9 , wherein at least a portion of one wall of the plurality thereof is comprised of glass capable of selective opacity changes.
13. The system of claim 9 , further comprising a decibel meter configured to compare noise levels at predetermined time intervals.
14. An enclosure for conducting private activities, comprising:
an enclosed structure that creates an environment that allows a user to reserve, customize, and confirm a session in advance, the enclosed structure comprising a ceiling, a floor, a plurality of walls interconnecting the ceiling to the floor, and a door in one wall that selectively provides access to an internal volume of the enclosed structure;
wherein the enclosed structure includes: a desk, a chair, an electronic power source, a display screen, and selective network connectivity;
an accelerometer configured to track the state of the door being open, closed, or partially opened or closed;
a liquid sensor associated with at least one of the desk, the chair, the electronic power source, and the display screen;
a series of sensors associated with the floor configured to determine whether a user has entered the enclosed structure, and further comprising a speaker configured to prompt the user to commence the session;
a decibel meter configured to compare noise levels at predetermined time intervals;
an advertising display associated with a wall of the plurality thereof, and a sensor that monitors foot traffic outside the enclosure;
wherein the desk includes a channel for routing liquid to the exterior of the enclosure or into a bladder;
wherein at least a portion of one wall of the plurality thereof is comprised of glass capable of selective opacity changes;
wherein the enclosed structure is locked after the user has vacated, and further comprising a disinfecting system that exposes the interior of the enclosed structure to a mist of disinfectant, a disinfecting environment, air that includes a disinfectant, ultra-violet radiation, a vacuum, or an inert gas for a predetermined amount of time;
wherein the enclosed structure provides dynamic pricing blocks to the user and collects and validates user payment associated with use of the enclosed structure; and
wherein the enclosed structure traffics media and advertisements that is provided on the display.
