[0034] Fig. 1 illustrates a system (100) for voice assisted portable sanitizer booth according to some example embodiment of the invention. In an embodiment, the invention can broadly be divided into two parts, one is the structure of the invention (101) and other is the control unit which drive the system (100). The structure of the invention is made of 1-inch PVC pipes (101) as shown in figure 1. The pipes in the structure are joined by elbows joints and T joints and the approximate height of structure is around 8 ft. In this structure 8 nozzles (109) are used to spray the sanitizer. The diameter of each nozzle is 0.3 mm, and each is placed at around 2 ft from its consecutive nozzle. The nozzles are connected in series to each using 10mm T connectors (113) as shown in figure 1. The width of the structure is around 3.5 ft. and is more than enough for a person to freely pass through the structure. A pipe (112) connects the array of nozzles with the 12-volt DC water pump (103), which can generate a pressure of maximum 110 psi and is enough for the spray operation. The sanitizing fluid is pumped from the storage container (102) via the connecting hose or pipe (111) to the water pump (103). The power to the pump is controlled via a relay which determines when to switch on or off the pump depending upon the sensor readings by the microcontroller. The controlling part of the invention consists of sensors, microcontrollers, relay board, speakers and other electronics which drives the system (100).
[0035] Figure 1 illustrates a system (100) for voice assisted portable sanitizer booth. The voice assisted portable sanitizer booth comprises some sensors which can detect the motion of user in the system (100) as well as when they are approaching the system (100) for sanitization. The control unit consists of 3 ultrasonic sensors (106)(107)(108). The purpose of these three sensors can be briefly explained as follows.
[0036] The first ultrasonic sensor (107) as shown in “Detail A” of figure 1 is placed on one of the arms of the invention and it is directed towards the person arriving towards the system (100). If the system (100) is not busy in sanitizing another person then this sensor will sense when the person approaches within a certain range of the sensor. Note that this range can be adjusted with a potentiometer in the control board which is situated within the speaker assembly or casing (105). After sensing a person, it signals the microcontroller to send a welcome message through a speaker to welcome the person towards the system (100).
[0037] The second ultrasonic sensor (106) as shown in “Detail A” of figure 1 is also placed on the arm of invention and its purpose is to sense whether a person is standing in between the array of nozzles (109) for sanitization or not. Again, the range of sensing is adjustable via a potentiometer mounted on the control board situated within the speaker casing or assembly (105). After sensing the person availability, the sensor sends a signal to microcontroller which activates the voice assisted sanitization process. In this process the relay is activated which further activates the 12-volt DC pump (103) which floods the piping (110) of the nozzle array with sanitizer. After few seconds the person is asked to turn left for complete cross body sanitization. When the process of sanitization is complete, the person is greeted and told by the system (100) to proceed.
[0038] The third ultrasonic sensor (108) as shown in “Detail B” of figure 1 is placed at an angle to sense a person approaching the system (100). The purpose of this sensor is to maintain social distancing between people waiting for their turn to be sanitized. It may be noted that in order to standardize the process of sanitization it is important to maintain discipline. An impatient person my hinder the process of sanitization of another person and may risk the complete prevention of infection due to improper sanitization. Therefore, if a person is being sanitized by the system (100) and another person tries to intrude the process, this sensor sends the signal to microcontroller to send an alarm sound and a warning message via the speaker assembly (104). This may help create a phycological effect on the intruder to maintain discipline.
[0039] The control system is easy in operation and is fully voice assisted and automated. The control board consists of the first microcontroller boards and the second microcontroller boards, the first microcontroller is connected to first ultrasonic sensor (107) and the second ultrasonic sensor (106) while the other microcontroller is connected to the third ultrasonic sensor (108) which senses the intruder. Note that it was possible to connect all the three sensors with the single microcontroller board but since the operation of sanitization and operation of sensing intruder is to be kept separate so that the intruder detection does not affect the process of sanitization of person already in system (100) therefore, it is necessary to make use of two different processors or microcontrollers for the process.
[0040] Figure 2 illustrates a structure of a voice assisted portable sanitizer booth from different angle.
[0041] Figure 3 illustrates Comparison of structure dimensions with an average user size.
[0042] Figure 4 illustrates the flow chart and displays the process how the system (100) takes the decision based on the presence of a person and activates warning messages or welcome messages based on the condition. The system (100) requires 12-volt DC at around 5 amps which is around 60 watts of power for its operation. When the system (100) is powered on (401) it delivers an introductory welcome audio message. After this introductory message, the code inside the microcontroller scans for any change (404) in the range of the first sensor (107) which can be changed via a potentiometer by the operator of system (100). If any previous change is detected, then this new range value is stored (405) in the memory of the microcontroller. Now the program or code scans if any person is approaching (406) the system (100) in the direction of entrance. If a person crosses the range of distance as stored (405) in the memory of microcontroller then a voice message is generated by the system (407) which welcomes the person towards the entry of system (100). Now the system (100) scans using sensor 2 (106) whether the person is appropriately situated or aligned with the array of nozzles for sanitization and for this purpose, the direction of sensor (106) is directed towards the array of nozzles as shown in figure 1. It may be noted that the range of the second sensor (106) can also be changed (408) by the operator (409) of system (100) anytime while the system (100) is running if necessary. If the range of the second sensor (106) is changed then this new value is stored in the memory of microcontroller (410). So, if the person is aligned with the array of nozzles, the sensor activates (411) and sends a signal to microcontroller to start the sanitizer pump (412) by activating a relay which switches the power of pump on or off based on the microcontroller signal. The person is also asked to turn left or right (413) for cross body sanitization. After cross body sanitization (414), the person is notified through a voice message to proceed (415) and exit the system (100). It may be noted that when a person is being sanitized, the system (100) takes care of the intruder and sense any impatient person trying to intrude the already going process of sanitization. The third sensor (108) keeps a check on any intruder during the process of sanitization. Again, the range of the third sensor (416) can be set by the operator (419) and if it is changed (416), this new value is stored in the memory of the microcontroller (417) dedicated for this purpose only. Note that this microcontroller is separate from the microcontroller used to run the second sensor (106) and the first sensor (107). Now, during sanitization if a person tries to intrude (418), then due to the third sensor (108) the dedicated microcontroller attached to the third sensor (108) will activate an alarm (420) which is a voice message with some alarming sound effects.
[0043] Figure 5 represents the block diagram of the control systems which controls the system (100). The invention requires a 12-volt DC supply for its operation which can be supplied via a 12 volt battery or an AC power source (220V) (501) can be stepped down to 12 volt DC using a step down converter (502). This 12 volt DC supply is distributed to both the first control units (503) and the second control unit (509). The first control unit (503) which is encased within the speaker assembly (105) contains the pump relay (505), the first speaker (506), the first speaker amplifier (507) and the first microcontroller (508). It may be noted that in both the control units (503)(509) the solid connection lines as shown in figure 5 displays the power lines which distributes the power to various components of system (100), while the dashed lines are the signals wires and mainly used in exchange of information between the first microcontroller (508) and the second microcontroller (512) with its sensors (107)(106)(108), speaker amplifier’s (507)(511) and the pump relay (505). In first control unit (105) the first microcontroller (508) controls the voice messages by controlling the first speaker amplifier (507) based on the sensor readings from the first sensor (107) and the second sensor (106). The amplifier (507) sends power to the first speaker (506) as directed by the first microcontroller (508). The first microcontroller (508) also controls the pump relay (505) based on readings received by the second senor (106), that is when a person is appropriately situated within the array of nozzles this relay (505) is activated which in turns distribute 12 volt DC to the pump (504). The second control unit (509) situated within the speaker assembly (104) consists of the second speaker (510), the second speaker amplifier (511), the second microcontroller (512) and the third sensor (108). Again the second microcontroller (512) controls the second speaker amplifier (511) based on the distance readings from the third sensor (108) whose function is to detect an intruder approaching the system (100) while a person is already being sanitized. The second speaker amplifier (511) in turn controls the second speaker (510).
