Abstract

A method for performing maintenance of a facility for use with a server, a plurality of communication sensors arranged throughout the facility, and a portable communication device, the method for use with a cleaning module, quality control module, and inspection module.

Claims (37)

1. A method for performing maintenance of a facility for use with a server, a plurality of BLUETOOTH communication sensors arranged throughout the facility, and a portable communication device, the method comprising:

a. transmitting a cleaning signal from the server to the portable communication device where the cleaning signal comprises information regarding one of an identity and location of a target location within the facility;

b. transmitting an acceptance signal associated with the target location from the portable communication device to the server in response to receiving the cleaning signal;

c. transmitting a beacon signal from one of the plurality of BLUETOOTH communication sensors to the portable communication device, where the transmitting BLUETOOTH communication sensor is fixedly located at or proximate to the target location and where the beacon signal contains identifying information;

d. transmitting an arrival signal from the portable communication device to the server in response to receiving the beacon signal;

e. transmitting one or more assigned tasks associated with the target location from the server to the portable communication device;

f. transmitting one or more first comments associated with the target location from the portable communication device to the server;

g. transmitting one or more completed tasks associated with the target location from the portable communication device to the server;

h. transmitting one or more consumed inventory associated with the target location from the portable communication device to the server;

i. transmitting one or more second comments associated with the target location from the portable communication device to the server; and

j. transmitting a completion signal associated with the target location from the portable communication device to the server. k. transmitting an inspection signal from the server to a second portable communication device in response to the completion signal where the inspection signal comprises information regarding one of the identity and location of the target location within the facility, where the inspection signal triggers an alert at the second portable communication device;

l. transmitting an acceptance signal associated with the target location from the second portable communication device to the server in response to receiving the inspection signal;

m. transmitting a beacon signal from one of the plurality of BLUETOOTH communication sensors to the portable communication device, where the transmitting BLUETOOTH communication sensor is fixedly located at or proximate to the target location and where the beacon signal contains identifying information;

n. transmitting an arrival signal from the second portable communication device to the server in response to receiving the beacon signal;

o. transmitting the one or more assigned tasks associated with the target location from the server to the second portable communication device;

p. transmitting a review for one or more of the one or more assigned tasks associated with the target location from the second portable communication device to the server; and

q. transmitting a quality control status signal associated with the target location from the second portable communication device to the server.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the arrival signal comprises information included in or based on the beacon signal.

3. A method for performing maintenance of a facility for use with a server, a plurality of BLUETOOTH communication sensors arranged throughout the facility, and a portable communication device, the method comprising:

a. transmitting a cleaning signal from the server to the portable communication device where the cleaning signal comprises information regarding one of an identity and location of a target location within the facility;

b. transmitting an acceptance signal associated with the target location from the portable communication device to the server in response to receiving the cleaning signal;

c. transmitting a beacon signal from the portable communication device to one of the plurality of BLUETOOTH communication sensors that is fixedly located at or proximate to the target location and where the beacon signal contains identifying information;

d. transmitting an arrival signal from the one of the plurality of BLUETOOTH communication sensors that is fixedly located at or proximate to the target location to the server in response to receiving the beacon signal;

e. transmitting one or more assigned tasks associated with the target location from the server to the portable communication device;

f. transmitting one or more first comments associated with the target location from the portable communication device to the server;

g. transmitting one or more completed tasks associated with the target location from the portable communication device to the server;

h. transmitting one or more consumed inventory associated with the target location from the portable communication device to the server;

i. transmitting one or more second comments associated with the target location from the portable communication device to the server;

j. transmitting a completion signal associated with the target location from the portable communication device to the server;

k. transmitting an inspection signal from the server to a second portable communication device in response to the completion signal where the inspection signal comprises information regarding one of the identity and location of the target location within the facility, where the inspection signal triggers an alert at the second portable communication device;

l. transmitting an acceptance signal associated with the target location from the second portable communication device to the server in response to receiving the inspection signal;

m. transmitting a beacon signal the second portable communication device to one of the plurality of BLUETOOTH communication sensors that is fixedly located at or proximate to the target location and where the beacon signal contains identifying information;

n. transmitting an arrival signal from the one of the plurality of BLUETOOTH communication sensors that is fixedly located at or proximate to the target location to the server in response to receiving the beacon signal;

o. transmitting the one or more assigned tasks associated with the target location from the server to the second portable communication device;

p. transmitting a review for one or more of the one or more assigned tasks associated with the target location from the second portable communication device to the server; and

q. transmitting a quality control status signal associated with the target location from the second portable communication device to the server.

4. The method of claim 3 , wherein the arrival signal comprises information included in or based on the beacon signal.
