Systems and methods for surface decontamination

摘要

Implementations disclosed herein provide systems and methods of automatically sterilizing a portable electronic device with ultraviolet (UV) radiation. In one implementation, the method includes distributing UV light substantially uniformly across an intended surface of a device in an enclosure, and sterilizing the intended surface using a calculated dosage of the UV light. In another implementation, an electronic device sterilization system includes an enclosure configured to selectively receive a device for sterilization using a calculated dosage of light, wherein the enclosure includes one or more LEDs, a first reflector configured to receive and reflect the light from the LEDs, and a second reflector configured to receive the light reflected from the first reflector and distribute the light uniformly onto an intended planar surface of the device.

1. A method, comprising:
transmitting ultraviolet (UV) light from a point source to a first reflector, the first reflector located proximate to a first side of the point source; reflecting UV light from the first reflector to a second reflector, the second reflector located proximate to a second side of the point source opposite the first side of the point source; reflecting UV light from the second reflector to an intended surface of a device in an enclosure, wherein the UV light is distributed, substantially uniformly across the intended surface of the device in the enclosure; and sterilizing the intended surface using a calculated dosage of the UV light.
