Hygiene tracking compliance
First Claim
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.

Abstract
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.

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.
