Abstract
Among other things, one or more techniques and/or systems are provided for dispensing material using a hand hygiene apparatus. The hand hygiene apparatus may comprise a dispensing device configured to dispense at least some material. The hand hygiene apparatus may comprise a first motion sensing device configured to activate an alert responsive to detecting a movement. The hand hygiene apparatus may comprise a second motion sensing device configured to deactivate the alert or activate a second alert responsive to detecting a second movement.
Claims
exact text as granted — not AI-modifiedWhat is claimed is:
1 . An apparatus for dispensing at least some material, comprising:
a first motion sensing device configured to activate an alert responsive to detecting a movement; and a second motion sensing device configured to, responsive to detecting a second movement, at least one of:
deactivate the alert; or
activate a second alert.
2 . The apparatus of claim 1 , the alert comprising at least one of:
an optical alert; or an auditory alert.
3 . The apparatus of claim 1 , comprising a dispensing device configured to dispense at least some material.
4 . The apparatus of claim 3 , the second movement detected by the second motion sensing device when a user activates the dispensing device.
5 . The apparatus of claim 4 , the activating of the dispensing device by the user comprising at least one of:
the second movement detected by the second motion sensing device; or an activation by the user of a physical trigger on the dispensing device.
6 . The apparatus of claim 1 , at least one of:
the first motion sensing device configured to detect the first movement based upon at least one of a first beam or a first radiation; or the second motion sensing device configured to detect the second movement based upon at least one of a second beam, a second radiation or a physical trigger.
7 . The apparatus of claim 6 , at least one of the first motion sensing device or the second motion sensing device comprising a passive infrared sensor.
8 . A method for dispensing at least some material, comprising:
activating an alert responsive to detecting a movement; and deactivating the alert or activating a second alert responsive to detecting a second movement.
9 . The method of claim 8 , the alert comprising at least one of:
an optical alert; or an auditory alert.
10 . The method of claim 8 , comprising using a dispensing device to dispense at least some material.
11 . The method of claim 10 , the second movement detected by the second motion sensing device when a user activates the dispensing device.
12 . The method of claim 11 , the activating of the dispensing device by the user comprising at least one of:
the second movement detected by the second motion sensing device; or an activation by the user of a physical trigger on the dispensing device.
13 . The method of claim 8 , at least one of:
the first motion sensing device configured to detect the first movement based upon at least one of a first beam or a first radiation; or the second motion sensing device configured to detect the second movement based upon at least one of a second beam, a second radiation or a physical trigger.
14 . The method of claim 13 , at least one of the first motion sensing device or the second motion sensing device comprising a passive infrared sensor.
15 . A hand hygiene apparatus for dispensing at least some material, comprising:
a dispensing device configured to dispense at least some material; a first motion sensing device configured to activate an alert comprising at least one of an optical alert or an auditory alert responsive to detecting a movement based upon at least one of a first beam or a first radiation; and a second motion sensing device configured to, responsive to detecting a second movement when a user activates the dispensing device based upon at least one of a second beam, a second radiation or a physical trigger, at least one of:
deactivate the alert; or
activate a second alert comprising at least one of a second optical alert or a second auditory alert,
the activating of the dispensing device by the user comprising at least one of:
the second movement detected by the second motion sensing device; or
an activation by the user of a physical trigger on the dispensing device.
16 . The hand hygiene apparatus of claim 15 , at least one of the first motion sensing device or the second motion sensing device comprising a passive infrared sensor.
17 . The hand hygiene apparatus of claim 15 , the auditory alert indicative of at least one of a voice, a beep or a chime.
18 . The hand hygiene apparatus of claim 15 , the apparatus coupled to a wall.
19 . The hand hygiene apparatus of claim 18 , the optical alert configured to shine on the wall.
20 . The hand hygiene apparatus of claim 18 , the optical alert configured to shine on the wall in a first color, the second optical alert configured to shine on the wall in a second color different than the first color.Join the waitlist — get patent alerts
