Ultraviolet Surface Illuminator

摘要

A solution for disinfecting a screen of an item using ultraviolet radiation is provided. The solution can provide an electronic device including a screen utilized by a user of the electronic device. The screen can be an ultraviolet transparent screen that covers at least some of the internal portion of the electronic device and a set of ultraviolet radiation sources can be located adjacent to the transparent screen. The set of ultraviolet radiation sources can be configured to generate ultraviolet radiation directed towards an external surface of the ultraviolet transparent screen. The electronic device can further include a monitoring and control system, which can manage the ultraviolet radiation generation by monitoring a set of attributes relating to the external surface of the screen and controlling, based on the monitoring, ultraviolet radiation directed at the external surface of the screen.

主权项

1. An apparatus comprising:
an ultraviolet transparent screen, wherein an external surface of the ultraviolet transparent screen is accessible to a user of the apparatus; a set of ultraviolet radiation sources located adjacent to at least one of: an internal surface or a side of the transparent screen, the set of ultraviolet radiation sources configured to generate ultraviolet radiation directed towards the external surface of the ultraviolet transparent screen; and a monitoring and control system located in an internal portion of the apparatus for managing the ultraviolet radiation by performing a method comprising:
monitoring a set of attributes relating to the external surface of the ultraviolet transparent screen; andcontrolling, based on the monitoring, the ultraviolet radiation directed at the external surface of the ultraviolet transparent screen.
