Automated cleaning in a sensor network
First Claim
1. A method for attending to an environmental condition by an electronic cleaning device, the method comprising the steps of:
- a computer receiving one or more data signals from one or more sensors through a network, wherein each of the one or more sensors is positioned in a physical location;
the computer determining that due to the environmental condition a signal strength of the one or more data signals received from the one or more sensors positioned in the physical location is out of a threshold value range;
the computer determining an optimal route from a current location of the electronic cleaning device to the one or more sensors positioned in the physical location, wherein the one or more data signals of the one or more sensors are experiencing signal strength out of the threshold value range; and
the computer sending an alert to the electronic cleaning device to clean the environmental condition at the one or more sensors until the signal strength of the one or more data signals received is no longer out of the threshold value range.

Abstract
A system, method and computer program product for attending to an environmental condition by an electronic cleaning device. A computer receives one or more data signals from one or more sensors through a network, with each of the one or more sensors associated with a physical location. The computer determines that due to an environmental condition a signal strength of the one or more data signals received from the one or more sensors is out of a threshold value range. The computer determines an optimal route from a current location of the electronic cleaning device to the one or more physical locations of the one or more sensors associated with the one or more data signals experiencing signal strength out of the threshold value range.
