Not a Entrepreneur: Here goes nothing

I was told to come up with three business plan and to be quite honest, I was having the hardest time coming up with something, anything. I felt all the ideas I came up with was either lame (for the lack of better words) or already taken. Now-a-days it's hard to come up with an "original" idea. Internet and social media make it easier to become entrepreneurs. Just the other day I was watching Shark Tank, and a lady invented a potty training for cats and a man made a cologne called money and it smells like money. Both got the deal! Not to mention the a blanket with holes they call the snuggly blanket making millions. What else can you ask for....

Here goes my attempt for business ideas. 

Check In & Out Kiosk
I don't travel a whole lot but when I do, there's a few things I would like to fix. Like checking in and checking out of the hotel is a struggle. Waiting in line on top of dealing with the front desk clark that's slow or new so they're in training. What if I was a business person and I had to wait 15 minutes to check-out but I don't have time to wait because I need to be at work in that 15 minutes. Won't it be easier to just "cut of the middle man" to do the job. A kiosk that can check you in and check up out and even sends you via text messages notifying you with just a few touch of a button/ screen. 
So with this Kiosk is the step by step
I'm a customer at Blah Blah Hotel, I come in and there's three kiosk and the traditional front desk clark. I'm going to go to one of these kiosks to checkin. I'll slide my credit card and request how many days I want to stay, lets say three days. There will be an option of sending me my receipt and friendly reminders of hotel events and one hour notice of checkout time. Lets say I click on both options. There's also an option if I want two card keys or one. Once the kiosk receive my information and I completed the transaction, the kiosk will spit out the card keys for me and I'm ready to go in my room. Lets day on the second day, my workplace wants me to stay an extra two days. I can then text Blah Blah Hotel through an app that I already click that option on the kiosk to extend my checkout day and if my room is still available or move to a different room. Since the kiosk already has my information all I have to do is text and YES to the kiosk and my new receipt will show up either through my phone via text messages or email. Quick and Easy. Maybe this kiosk is not just for hotels, motels, inns and so one, but it can also work for daycare. checking in and checking out their children off to daycare can be a hassle. That will be another idea though. However, knowing my luck it's probably already invented. I Googled online about this kind of system and they already have a couple of them running in Amsterdam and in New York.

Flash Tab  
This is not so much a business plan or even a business, just an idea. The idea to have a digital expiration tab on the car so you just pay online and it automatically changes the month or year of the tabs for your car.

Robot Windows
I never liked cleaning the outside or even inside my house windows, especially when the windows are so high up. Or even those skyscraper windows. Wouldn't it be cool to have a robot window cleaner, just the like Romba

Virtual In Store Shopping 
Like in Korea and Japan, they already have something like a virtual convenience store. How about retail shopping? I'm sure average teenage girls love to shop. I like to shop. I just hated trying on the clothes. It takes so long and tiring to try so much jeans and shirts. What if you can do it virtual. I use to play this app on my phone and I just take a picture of my face and it lets me put on different hairstyle, cut, color, etc. Like the xbox connect live. It's motion sensor so all you have to do is wave your arms.
Just a Thought.
