Hygiene monitoring and management system and method
First Claim
1. A hygiene monitoring and management system for a cleaning device, the system comprising:
- a locating module operable to determine a location of the cleaning device in an area and to track movement of the cleaning device within the area;
a display module including a graphical layout of the area; and
a cleanliness monitoring system configured to generate data representative of a path that the cleaning device has traversed in the area and at least one aspect of cleaning behavior of the device in the area,wherein the display module is configured to display the data representative of the path and the data representative of the at least one aspect of cleaning behavior,wherein one or both of the path and the at least one aspect of cleaning behavior is color-coded on the display module.

Abstract
A Real Time Locating System (RTLS) hygiene management and monitoring system for individuals and companies to manage and monitor the hygiene of their surroundings. For example, the system can be used in conjunction with a cleaning device and can include a locating module, a display module, and a cleanliness monitoring system. The locating module determines a location of the cleaning device in an area and to track movement of the cleaning device within the area. The display module includes a graphical layout of the area. The cleanliness monitoring system generates data representative of a path that the cleaning device has traversed in the area and at least one aspect of cleaning behavior of the device in the area. The display module displays the data representative of the path and the data representative of the at least one aspect of cleaning behavior, and one or both of the path and the at least one aspect of cleaning behavior is color-coded on the display module.
