Title: System and method for randomized verification of services performed

Description:
FIELD 
     The present disclosure relates to verification of services to be performed, including but not limited to computing platforms, methods, and storage media for verification of cleaning services to be performed in an area to be cleaned. 
     BACKGROUND 
     When a commercial cleaning company is hired to provide cleaning services, it can be difficult for both the client and the cleaning company to evaluate whether the job has been done properly in accordance with the terms and conditions of the services agreement. 
     There are inherent difficulties in overseeing or managing a workforce spread out over geographical areas. In addition, even upon inspection it can be difficult to assess whether an area that appears unclean was not cleaned properly, or was properly cleaned but then dirtied by a customer or occupant after the proper cleaning. 
     According to some existing approaches, photos may be taken of areas after cleaning, and provided to a supervisor and/or client as proof of a job having been properly done. However, such approaches are open to misrepresentation, for example if a member of the cleaning staff saves older photos of cleaned areas. 
     Improvements in approaches for verification of cleaning services to be performed in an area to be cleaned are desirable. 
     SUMMARY 
     One aspect of the present disclosure relates to a computing platform configured for verification of cleaning services to be performed in an area to be cleaned. The computing platform may include a non-transient computer-readable storage medium having executable instructions embodied thereon. The computing platform may include one or more hardware processors configured to execute the instructions. The processor(s) may execute the instructions to identify, from among a plurality of cleaning regions relating to the area to be cleaned, a group of designated cleaning regions. The processor(s) may execute the instructions to randomly generate, with respect to the plurality of cleaning regions, a set of inspection regions. The set of inspection regions may be a subset of the plurality of cleaning regions and includes at least one of the designated cleaning regions. The processor(s) may execute the instructions to provide a user interface to prompt a user to capture an image of each inspection region in the set of inspection regions. The processor(s) may execute the instructions to directly capture the images of each inspection region via the user interface.

     DETAILED DESCRIPTION 
     Computing platforms, methods, and storage media for verification of cleaning services to be performed in an area to be cleaned are disclosed. Exemplary implementations may: identify, from among a plurality of cleaning regions relating to the area to be cleaned, a group of designated cleaning regions; randomly generate, with respect to the plurality of cleaning regions, a set of inspection regions; provide a user interface to prompt a user to capture an image of each inspection region in the set of inspection regions; directly capture the images of each inspection region via the user interface; compare the captured images of each inspection region with corresponding reference images to determine whether each of the inspection regions has been properly cleaned; and output an inspection result based on the comparison of the captured images with the corresponding reference images. 
     In an embodiment, the present disclosure provides a software solution that provides a method for virtually supervising otherwise unsupervised workers, which increases accountability and generates unprecedented visibility. In an example embodiment, a method is provided to automate and randomize verification of areas to be cleaned, while ensuring that designated, or important, areas are included. 
     While example embodiments will be described herein with respect to verification of cleaning services, and cleaning regions, in other embodiments the systems and methods described herein relate more generally to verification of services to be performed in an area to be serviced, including a group of designated service regions, and a set of inspection regions. 
     For the purpose of promoting an understanding of the principles of the disclosure, reference will now be made to the features illustrated in the drawings and specific language will be used to describe the same. It will nevertheless be understood that no limitation of the scope of the disclosure is thereby intended. Any alterations and further modifications, and any further applications of the principles of the disclosure as described herein are contemplated as would normally occur to one skilled in the art to which the disclosure relates. It will be apparent to those skilled in the relevant art that some features that are not relevant to the present disclosure may not be shown in the drawings for the sake of clarity. 
     Certain terms used in this application and their meaning as used in this context are set forth in the description below. To the extent a term used herein is not defined, it should be given the broadest definition persons in the pertinent art have given that term as reflected in at least one printed publication or issued patent. Further, the present processes are not limited by the usage of the terms shown below, as all equivalents, synonyms, new developments and terms or processes that serve the same or a similar purpose are considered to be within the scope of the present disclosure. 
       FIG.  1    illustrates a system  100  configured for verification of cleaning services to be performed in an area to be cleaned, in accordance with one or more embodiments. In some embodiments, system  100  may include one or more computing platforms  102 . Computing platform(s)  102  may be configured to communicate with one or more remote platforms  104  according to a client/server architecture, a peer-to-peer architecture, and/or other architectures. Remote platform(s)  104  may be configured to communicate with other remote platforms via computing platform(s)  102  and/or according to a client/server architecture, a peer-to-peer architecture, and/or other architectures. Users may access system  100  via remote platform(s)  104 . Computing platform(s)  102  may be configured by machine-readable instructions  106 . Machine-readable instructions  106  may include one or more instruction modules. The instruction modules may include computer program modules. 
     In an embodiment, the machine-readable instructions  106  are configured to cause the processor(s)  156  to perform a method of verification of cleaning services to be performed in an area to be cleaned. Such an embodiment, which will be described later in further detail in relation to  FIG.  4   , includes identifying, from among a plurality of cleaning regions relating to the area to be cleaned, a group of designated cleaning regions. In an example embodiment, the group of designated cleaning regions comprises a group of cleaning regions that have been designated to be included among the regions to be cleaned, based on having been designated as important or high priority. The designation may be performed before-hand, for example by a manager, owner, or agent of the owner of the premises to be cleaned, or by a representative from a services company tasked with performing the cleaning services, or collaboratively. 
     In an embodiment, the method includes randomly generating, with respect to the plurality of cleaning regions, a set of inspection regions. The set of inspection regions are a subset of the plurality of cleaning regions and include at least one of the designated cleaning regions. In this way, the set of inspection regions is quasi-randomly generated, in that the set of inspection regions includes at least one of the designated cleaning regions, and then the remaining inspection regions are generated randomly from among the plurality of cleaning regions. For example, in an embodiment the method includes: randomly generating at least one designated cleaning region from among the identified group of designated cleaning regions; and randomly generating remaining regions in the set of inspection regions from among the plurality of cleaning regions that are absent from the group of designated cleaning regions. 
     In an embodiment, the method further includes providing a user interface to prompt a user to capture an image of each inspection region in the set of inspection regions. In an example embodiment, the method includes, for a selected inspection region from among the set of inspection regions, providing a selected inspection region reference image in a first portion of a split-screen user interface. In such an example embodiment, the method also includes, for a selected inspection region from among the set of inspection regions, providing an image capture preview in a second portion of the split-screen user interface to prompt the user to capture an image of the selected inspection region. 
     In an embodiment, the method further includes directly capturing the images of each inspection region via the user interface, for example obtaining a live camera capture from a user device, optionally while preventing any other means of image capture. The directly captured images of each inspection region may be stored in an image capture memory that is inaccessible to the user and independent of a user device, for example at a cloud server such that the captured images are accessible using a uniform resource locator. 
     In an embodiment, the method further includes comparing the captured images of each inspection region with corresponding reference images to determine whether each of the inspection regions has been properly cleaned. This aspect enables the method to ensure that the captured image relates to the proper inspection region, and optionally to ensure that the captured image reflects a state of cleanliness that is substantially similar or sufficiently similar to the state of cleanliness captured in the corresponding reference image. In an embodiment, the method further includes outputting an inspection result based on the comparison of the captured images with the corresponding reference images. 
     In an implementation, an area to be cleaned is divided into a number of different cleaning regions. The cleaning regions may be classified with respect to location, e.g. first floor, second floor. The cleaning regions may also be classified or tagged with respect to a type of region, e.g. entrance, bathroom. Reference photos may be obtained with respect to the defined cleaning regions. 
     In an embodiment of the present disclosure, a quasi-randomly generated set of inspection regions is provided to the cleaning staff, for example at the end of a cleaning job. The set of inspection regions is a subset of the plurality of cleaning regions into which the area to be cleaned is divided. Because the cleaning staff does not know which inspection regions will be randomly selected for that particular day or job, the cleaning staff need to ensure that all cleaning regions are properly cleaned in accordance with the established contractual terms and conditions between the client and service provider. This is particularly evident in example implementations in which the set of inspection regions is specified at the end of the cleaning job, or when the cleaning job is indicated as being completed, or at a time at which the cleaning job is supposed to have been completed. 
     In an example embodiment, a software solution is provided as an “app” used by the cleaning staff to capture photos of the inspection regions. In an example embodiment, the software provides an inspection region reference photo, to help the cleaning staff ensure that they are providing a photo of the proper inspection region. Having the app directly capture the photo avoids potential misrepresentations by cleaning staff who may have otherwise tried to upload previously taken photos. Date stamping and/or geotagging may additionally be used to authenticate that the photos are legitimately being taken at the time of completion of the job for which the inspection is being performed. 
     Embodiments of the present disclosure may be configured to generate the set of inspection regions with some randomization and some intention. For example, the software may be configured to ensure that the set of inspection regions always includes certain designated areas, for example, that the inspection regions always include the front entrance and at least two bathroom areas. The designated areas may vary based on the area and the type of area to be cleaned, for example a bank, retail, fast food, etc. 
     Embodiments of the present disclosure are configured to randomize the selection of inspection regions, for example providing different inspection regions each day, or each time a particular cleaning job is performed. This approach encourages or ensures increased vigilance on the part of cleaning staff, partly by removing means to circumvent the inspection, by randomizing the areas to be inspected while ensuring that designated areas of importance are included. 
       FIG.  2 A  and  FIG.  2 B  illustrate a system  200  configured for verification of cleaning services to be performed in an area to be cleaned, in accordance with one or more embodiments. While  FIG.  2 A  and  FIG.  2 B  are presented as separate figures, it is to be understood that in some embodiments, the system  200  may include the elements of both  FIG.  2 A  and  FIG.  2 B . In some embodiments, system  200  may include one or more computing platforms  202 . Computing platform(s)  202  may be configured to communicate with one or more remote platforms  204  according to a client/server architecture, a peer-to-peer architecture, and/or other architectures. Remote platform(s)  204  may be configured to communicate with other remote platforms via computing platform(s)  202  and/or according to a client/server architecture, a peer-to-peer architecture, and/or other architectures. Users may access system  200  via remote platform(s)  204 . 
     Computing platform(s)  202  may be configured by machine-readable instructions  206 . Machine-readable instructions  206  may include one or more instruction modules. The instruction modules may include computer program modules. 
     Referring to  FIG.  2 A , the instruction modules may include one or more of group identifying module  208 , set generating module  210 , user interface providing module  212 , image capture module  214 , image comparing module  216 , inspection result outputting module  218 , first region generating module  220 , second region generating module  222 , group determination module  224 , cleaning region determination module  226 , and image storing module  228 . 
     Group identifying module  208  may be configured to identify, from among a plurality of cleaning regions relating to the area to be cleaned, a group of designated cleaning regions. 
     Set generating module  210  may be configured to randomly generate, with respect to the plurality of cleaning regions, a set of inspection regions. Randomly generating the set of inspection regions may be performed based on a random number generator. In an example implementation, the generated random number may be used to select one or more of the plurality of cleaning regions based on a number or other reference or designator assigned to, or associated with, each of the plurality of cleaning regions. For example, if the plurality of cleaning regions are numbered 00 through 29, the generated random number may be used to select one or more numbers associated with one or more of the plurality of cleaning regions. Randomly generating the set of inspection regions may be performed based on a quasi-random number generator. The set of inspection regions may be a subset of the plurality of cleaning regions and include at least one of the designated cleaning regions. 
     Set generating module  210  may be configured to, for a new cleaning period, randomly generate an updated set of inspection regions, the updated set of inspection regions being different from the originally generated set of inspection regions. The new cleaning period may include a new cleaning shift. The new cleaning period may include a new calendar date. 
     User interface providing module  212  may be configured to provide a user interface to prompt a user to capture an image of each inspection region in the set of inspection regions. In an example embodiment, the user interface is provided to, at, or on, a mobile device or computing device operated by a member of the cleaning staff. In such an implementation, the method enables self-verification of the cleaning services to be performed. 
     User interface providing module  212  may be configured to provide the user interface to prompt the user to capture a second image of the second inspection region only in response to a satisfactory first inspection result based on the comparison of a first captured image of the first inspection region with the corresponding reference image. In an example implementation, the user interface will not prompt the user for an image of a current region until after an image of a previous region has been successfully provided, and optionally has resulted in a satisfactory outcome or determination based on the comparison to the reference image. 
     Image capture module  214  may be configured to directly capture the images of each inspection region via the user interface. 
     Image comparing module  216  may be configured to compare the captured images of each inspection region with corresponding reference images to determine whether each of the inspection regions has been properly cleaned. Image comparing module  216  may be configured to compare, using a machine learning-based comparator, the captured images of each inspection region with the corresponding reference images. 
     Inspection result outputting module  218  may be configured to output an inspection result based on the comparison of the captured images with the corresponding reference images. Inspection result outputting module  218  may be configured to output the inspection result based at least in part on a received external verification result, for example if the inspection result is based on an image comparison performed by, or using, an external verification system or device. 
     First region generating module  220  may be configured to randomly generate at least one designated cleaning region from among the identified group of designated cleaning regions, for inclusion in the set of inspection regions. Second region generating module  222  may be configured to randomly generate remaining regions in the set of inspection regions from among the plurality of cleaning regions that are absent from the group of designated cleaning regions, for inclusion in the set of inspection regions. 
     Group determination module  224  may be configured to determine the group of designated cleaning regions based on a stored cleaning profile, and optionally in conjunction with the first and/or second region generating modules  220  and  222 . The stored cleaning profile may include a property type-specific cleaning profile. The stored cleaning profile may include an industry-specific cleaning profile. The stored cleaning profile may include a franchisor-specific cleaning profile, an owner-specific cleaning profile, a contract-specific cleaning profile, or a site-specific cleaning profile. 
     Cleaning region determination module  226  may be configured to determine whether each of the plurality of cleaning regions belongs in the group of designated cleaning regions based on the stored cleaning profile. In an example embodiment, the determination may be additionally based on additional stored data or data obtained at the time of identifying or obtaining a list or group of designated cleaning regions. 
     Image storing module  228  may be configured to store the directly captured images of each inspection region in an image capture memory that is inaccessible to the user and independent of a user device. Image storing module  228  may be configured to store the captured images at a cloud server such that the captured images are accessible using a uniform resource locator.

     Inspection region reference image providing module  230  may be configured to, for a selected inspection region from among the set of inspection regions, provide a selected inspection region reference image in a first portion of a split-screen user interface. For example, the first portion of the split-screen user interface may be a top portion, a bottom portion, and left side portion or a right side portion. 
     Image capture preview providing module  232  may be configured to, for a selected inspection region from among the set of inspection regions, provide an image capture preview in a second portion of the split-screen user interface to prompt the user to capture an image of the selected inspection region. In an embodiment, the second portion is complementary to the first portion, for example when the first portion is a top portion, the second portion is a bottom portion. Providing the image capture preview in the second portion of the split-screen user interface may include obtaining a live camera capture from a user device. 
     User authentication providing module  234  may be configured to provide, via the user interface, a user authentication to determine that the user being prompted to capture the image corresponds to a person assigned to perform the cleaning services being verified. The method may be a part of a self-verification process such that the user prompted to capture the images is also the person assigned to perform the cleaning services being verified. 
     Inspection result generating module  236  may be configured to compare, using a machine learning-based comparator, the captured images of each inspection region with the corresponding reference images, and to generate the inspection result based at least in part on a result of the comparison using the machine learning-based comparator. 
     External verification module  238  may be configured to send, for external verification, at least one of the captured images and the corresponding reference images, and to output the inspection result based at least in part on a received external verification result. 
     User interface preventing module  240  may be configured to prevent the user interface from capturing a subsequent image in response to an unsatisfactory inspection result based on the comparison of a previous captured image with the corresponding reference image. Consider an example embodiment including a first inspection region and a subsequent second inspection region in the set of inspection regions. User interface preventing module  240 , or another module, may be configured to provide the user interface to prompt the user to capture a second image of the second inspection region only in response to a satisfactory first inspection result based on the comparison of a first captured image of the first inspection region with the corresponding reference image. 
     Inspection result determination module  242  may be configured to determine a region-specific inspection result based on determining within a degree of certainty that the captured image for a specific region matches the corresponding reference image for the specific region and represents a properly cleaned area. 
     Parameter obtaining module  244  may be configured to obtain parameters characterizing the plurality of cleaning regions. Region definition module  246  may be configured to define the plurality of cleaning regions based on the obtained characterizing parameters. Region definition module  246  may be configured to define the plurality of cleaning regions based on the obtained boundaries. 
     Boundary obtaining module  248  may be configured to obtain boundaries characterizing the plurality of cleaning regions. Boundary definition module  250  may be configured to define the boundaries characterizing the plurality of cleaning regions. 
     In some implementations, directly capturing the images may include obtaining a live camera capture from a user device. In some implementations, directly capturing the images may include obtaining a live camera capture from a user device while preventing any other means of image capture.
