  • Publication number: 20230245077
    Abstract: Providing a facilities supervisor notice after a conference room or other common area has been used and is in a messy condition. An image of the conference room obtained after use is evaluated to determine if the conference room is neat. A neatness score is obtained for the conference room. If the score indicates a neatness value above a settable level, the conference room is considered clean and ready for use. If the neatness score indicates a neatness value less than the settable level, the conference room is not ready for use, and a notice is provided to the facilities supervisor to allow a cleaning person to be dispatched. The need to perform the cleanliness or neatness review is triggered by referencing scheduled meetings in a calendaring system, by monitoring the conference room for the presence of individuals having an unscheduled meeting and periodically or randomly.
