Hygienic sensor device, system, and method for monitoring hygienic dispenser usage and compliance
First Claim
1. A system for monitoring hygienic dispenser usage and compliance, the system comprising:
- a hygienic dispenser configured to dispense a hygienic substance;
a hygienic sensor adapter device proximately disposed to the hygienic dispenser, wherein the hygienic sensor adapter device is configured to detect a presence of a human hand within an activation area of the hygienic dispenser, and wherein the hygienic sensor adapter device includes a radio unit configured to detect one or more badges worn by corresponding one or more human subjects; and
a remote cloud-based computer server including a subject prediction logic section configured to determine a particular human subject from among the one or more human subjects to which the human hand belongs;
wherein;
the hygienic sensor adapter device includes a capacitive fluctuation validation logic section that is configured to receive and interpret capacitive fluctuations due to the presence of the human hand within the activation area of the hygienic dispenser; and
the hygienic sensor adapter device is configured to at least one of (i) store the capacitive fluctuations in a storage device of the hygienic sensor adapter device or (ii) transmit the capacitive fluctuations to the remote cloud-based computer server.

Abstract
The disclosed device, system, and method can be used for monitoring hygienic dispenser usage and compliance. A hygienic dispenser dispenses a hygienic substance such as sanitizer, soap, a glove, or the like. A hygienic sensor adapter device is proximately disposed to the hygienic dispenser. The hygienic sensor adapter device detects a presence of a human hand within an activation area of the dispenser. The hygienic sensor adapter device includes a sensor to detect badges worn by corresponding human subjects. A remote cloud-based computer server can determine a particular human subject from among the human subjects to which the human hand belongs. Accordingly, the hygienic sensor adapter device is able to monitor the activations of all models of hand hygiene dispensers with little to no configuration or modification. The hygienic sensor adapter device rejects false triggers, captures every dispenser activation, and identifies the subject responsible for the dispenser activation.

16. A system for monitoring hygienic dispenser usage and compliance, the system comprising:
-
a hygienic dispenser configured to dispense a hygienic substance; a hygienic sensor adapter device proximately disposed to the hygienic dispenser, wherein the hygienic sensor adapter device is configured to detect a presence of a human hand within an activation area of the hygienic dispenser, and wherein the hygienic sensor adapter device includes a radio unit configured to detect one or more badges worn by corresponding one or more human subjects; and a remote cloud-based computer server including a subject prediction logic section configured to determine a particular human subject from among the one or more human subjects to which the human hand belongs; wherein the remote cloud-based computer server further comprises a false positive logic section that is configured to perform checking of operational behavior data associated with the hygienic dispenser to rule out false positive activations thereof.
