A device in the dispenser which puts up a flag when it is out of paper. Perhaps an audio alarm as well.

       or perhaps an alarm system for when there is anything at all undesirable in the toilet - things floating, wet seat, etc etc.

       Perhaps a home version with alarm to discourage those significant others who leave the roll empty (or worse with exactly 2 sheets left).?

       hmmn, if it could send a message to someone to come and top it up..

       actually I think is baked with link - both ideas lack a proper alert mechanism.
