This technical disclosure describes improvements that would be readily apparent to a Person Having Ordinary Skill In The Art (PHOSITA) when considered in combination with the foundational architecture disclosed in U.S. Patent No. 11,857,136.

Summary of the Inventive Concept

A synergistic combination of a floor mat with advanced technologies such as AI, IoT, blockchain, and machine learning to create a more powerful system for sanitizing floors and carpets, providing users with a cleaner, healthier, and more convenient living space.

Background and Problem Solved

The original floor mat patent, while providing a unique disposable doormat structured to clean and disinfect shoe soles, has limitations in terms of its ability to adapt to changing environmental conditions, track usage, and provide personalized maintenance recommendations. The new inventive concept addresses these limitations by integrating the patented floor mat with advanced technologies to create a more comprehensive and intelligent sanitizing system.

Detailed Description of the Inventive Concept

The Smart Sanitizing Floor Mat System comprises a floor mat with a non-toxic, germ-resistant top layer, an AI-powered monitoring module that detects and alerts users to potential germ buildup, and an IoT-enabled sensor that detects foot traffic and triggers automated cleaning protocols. The system can be integrated with a blockchain-based tracking system to monitor and record cleaning and maintenance activities, and a companion mobile app provides users with personalized cleaning and maintenance recommendations based on usage data. The system can also incorporate machine learning algorithms to predict and prevent germ buildup based on environmental and usage data.

Novelty and Inventive Step

The new inventive concept is novel and non-obvious in its synergistic combination of a floor mat with AI, IoT, blockchain, and machine learning technologies, which provides a more comprehensive and intelligent sanitizing system that adapts to changing environmental conditions, tracks usage, and provides personalized maintenance recommendations.

Alternative Embodiments and Variations

Alternative embodiments of the Smart Sanitizing Floor Mat System could include integration with voice assistants, smart home systems, or other IoT devices. Variations could include different types of sensors, AI algorithms, or blockchain platforms, as well as different materials or designs for the floor mat itself.

Potential Commercial Applications and Market

The Smart Sanitizing Floor Mat System has significant commercial potential in the healthcare, hospitality, and residential industries, where maintaining clean and hygienic environments is critical. The system's ability to provide real-time monitoring, automated cleaning protocols, and personalized maintenance recommendations makes it an attractive solution for businesses and individuals seeking to improve indoor air quality and reduce the spread of germs.
