System for monitoring use of sanitary fixtures e.g. disinfecting liquid dispenser, has transmission unit which is coupled to coupling unit to establish electrical capacitive coupling between body of user and device control unit

摘要

The system has a portable identification unit storing unique information is worn by user (10). A sanitary fixture such as dispenser (20) outputs disinfectant to user, and is coupled to device control unit. A first capacitive coupling unit is coupled to first receiving means to receive electromagnetic signals. A device control unit is coupled to first transmission unit which is coupled to second capacitive coupling unit to establish electrical capacitive coupling between the body of user and device control unit. An independent claim is included for method for monitoring use of sanitary fixture.
