The present disclosure provides an automatic doormat device for detecting and replenishing contaminated surface to keep contaminants from entering the house. An exemplary doormat device comprises a sticky sheet configured to adhesively pick up contaminants; a first roller configured to support windings of the sticky sheet; a second roller, spaced apart from the first roller, configured to wind the sticky sheet unwound from the first roller in rotation; a case configured to enclose the first roller and the second roller and support the sticky sheet on a portion exposed between the first roller and the second roller; and a drive motor configured to generate a driving force for rotating the second roller.

A footwear sole cleaning and sanitizing system including a housing having a top surface, first side positioned adjacent to a user entry portal, a second side positioned adjacent to a user exit portal, and railing mounted on the top surface. The system includes a debris remover arranged to remove debris from the footwear sole and a sanitizer arranged to remove contaminants from the footwear sole. The system further includes sensors arranged to generate sensor data based on a detected position of the footwear sole, a user interface arranged to provide cues to the user during operations of the device, and a controller arranged to: i) receive the sensor data from the sensors; i) control operations of the debris remover and sanitizer in response to the received sensor data, and iii) send cue instructions associated with the one or more cues to the user interface.

Chairs having a cleaning system integrated thereon are provided. These chairs allow a user to comfortably clean their feet while in a sitting or reclined position.

The present invention relates to a shoe washing and sterilizing dryer for automatically washing, drying and sterilizing shoes such as sneakers, and so on, and more particularly, to a shoe washing and sterilizing dryer that is capable of allowing injection nozzles to spray a washing liquid to the form of fine particles into the surfaces of shoes and then allowing brushes to be rotatably moved up and down to perfectly wash the surfaces of the shoes, and also capable of allowing hot air generated from a heater to blow into the shoes and simultaneously allowing ultraviolet light to be irradiated onto the interiors of the shoes from UV lamps to perform both of drying and sterilizing processes for the shoes, thereby enhancing wearing comfort of the shoes and protecting a wearer from athlete's foot or various diseases.

A shoe treating apparatus including a shelf part including at least one shelf, a motor part configured to control tilting of the at least one shelf, a sensor part including at least one sensor, and a processor electrically connected to the motor part and the sensor part is provided. The processor may identify an approach of a user by using the at least one sensor, and, based on the identified user approach, generate a control signal for adjusting a tilt angle of the at least one shelf to adjust the tilting of the at least one shelf. A method of operating a shoe treating apparatus is also provided.

A shoe treating apparatus including a sensor part including at least one sensor, a motor part configured to control tilting of at least one shelf, and a processor electrically connected to the sensor part and the motor part is provided. The processor may identify an approach of a user by using the at least one sensor, and may generate, based on the identified user approach, a control signal for adjusting a tilt speed of the at least one shelf. Also, the processor may transmit the generated control signal to the motor part to adjust the tilt speed of the at least one shelf. A method of operating a shoe treating apparatus is also provided.
