Classification: CPC A  G | IPC A  G

Claim 0:
1. A device for improved sanitization, the device comprising:
a sanitizing device configured to output a sanitizing agent;
a scanning device configured to generate scanning data of a physical form of an object;
a housing supporting the sanitizing device and the scanning device, wherein the housing is configured to position the sanitizing device proximate to the scanning device such that a scanning direction of the scanning device substantially aligns with the output of the sanitizing agent; and
a controller operatively coupled to the sanitizing device and the scanning device, the controller configured to:
determine the output of the sanitizing agent during operation of the scanning device;
receive the scanning data generated by the scanning device;
determine one or more areas of the object failing to receive sufficient contact with the sanitizing agent based upon the scanning data and sanitizing agent output in an instance in which an intensity distribution of the sanitizing agent fails to satisfy an exposure threshold; and
determine a valid condition in an instance in which the intensity distribution of the sanitizing agent at each position of the object satisfies the exposure threshold.
