WHO SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS?
CUSTOMER?
Most products allow guests to check for the presence of pinhole cameras themselves. However, as a consumer, who has paid for its services, has the right to enjoy a safe, comfortable service.
HOTEL STAFF!
As a service provider, the hotel should ensure its own service quality. But the vast majority of hotels apparently do not provide such security services.
CLEANERS MAY BE THE BEST CHOICE FOR PROVIDING SAFETY SERVICES
Cleaners need to clean and inspect every room, and they are the first to enter the room after guests check out. So checking for hidden cameras is a perfect addition to their workflow.

Persona
- They need equipment to provide security screening services.
- They want to adapt cleaning carts quickly in their own way.
- They need to spend minimal time to check the room safety.
- Cleaning carts need to be cleaner, more space-efficient and easier to move around.
"I want to design a multi-functional cleaning cart that can meet a series of work requirements such as safety inspection and cleaning. Meanwhile, users can customize the cart to make it attractive visually."
Brainstorming
"HOTEL CLEANERS CAN 'CLEAN' THE HIDDEN CAMERAS AT THE SAME TIME AS CLEANING THE ROOM."
The pinhole camera detection device can be integrated into the cleaning cart, so that the detection process can be better added to the cleaning process, and make this process more smooth.
"PROFESSIONAL RESPONSIBILITY OF CLEANERS WILL INCREASE, WHICH WILL MAKE THEM MORE VALUED."
Due to their own professional limitations, hotel cleaners often can not get due attention and respect. Therefore, giving cleaners more responsibilities and transforming them from cleaners to protectors of customer safety, which will also indirectly improve their status.
