[0001] The present disclosure relates to the field of sterilization and charging devices. More particularly, the present disclosure relates to a compact and efficient smart device for enabling UV-based sterilization of one or more items/objects, as well as wired and wireless charging of electronic equipment.

BACKGROUND
[0002] Background description includes information that may be useful in understanding the present invention. It is not an admission that any of the information provided herein is prior art or relevant to the presently claimed invention, or that any publication specifically or implicitly referenced is prior art.
[0003] Bacteria and virus have caused devastating effect on entire world for many centuries, and the spread of virus is very vast. It requires immediate action to prevent the disease at the community level during the period of latent infection which involves fast-spreading, endangering the health of large numbers of people, and creating the chain of infections through.
[0004] Coronaviruses are a group of related viruses that cause diseases in mammals and birds. In humans, coronaviruses cause respiratory tract infections that can range from mild to lethal. Mild illnesses include some cases of the common cold (which has other possible causes, predominantly rhinoviruses), while more lethal varieties can cause SARS, MERS, and COVID-19.
[0005] Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is an infectious disease caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). The disease was first identified in December 2019 in Wuhan, the capital of China's Hubei province, and has since spread globally, resulting in the ongoing 2019–20 coronavirus pandemic.
[0006] The virus is mainly spread during close contact and by small droplets produced when those infected coughs, sneeze or talk. These droplets may also be produced during breathing; however, they rapidly fall to the ground or surfaces and are not generally spread through the air over large distances. People may also become infected by touching a contaminated surface and then their face. The virus can survive on surfaces for up to 72 hours. It is most contagious during the first three days after onset of symptoms, although spread may be possible before symptoms appear and in later stages of the disease. The time from exposure to onset of symptoms is typically around five days, but may range from two to 14 days.
[0007] These infections commonly spread through frequently using Gadgets, Mobile, Currency notes, money, masks cloths and plastic. According to WHO reports Corona Virus rests up to 72 hours on plastic and mobile surface, one week on masks, & on glass for 96 hours.
[0008] Another report of WHO report states that “A smartphone is one of the most used gadgets for everyone are most exposed gadget to coronavirus spread“. The items most prone to the virus is our Smartphone, along with Bank note, watch, specs, pen, ear buds, wearable and masks etc. The virus can spread from these items and devices through respiratory droplets and close contact as these are frequently used. And there is no way to disinfect these typical items especially Mobile phones and Banknotes.
[0009] There are various sanitizing devices available in the market, which allows application of sanitizer liquid or sprays over the objects/items to be disinfected. However, the use of such sanitizer can be dangerous for the user using the same items after sanitizing, as the sanitizer present over the items can go inside the body of the user, thereby causing serious damage to the user. In worst case, the sanitizer can go inside the body and lead to death or cancer, as various reports have suggested that sanitizers are cancerous as well as deadly for living organism. It is clearly mentioned by the sanitizer manufacturing companies that the sanitizer is for external usage only. Further, sanitizer-based disinfecting devices requires frequent refilling of sanitizers, which is time taking as well as costly. As a result, the use of sanitizers on daily items is not safe and is also a costly and troublesome task.
[0010] There is, therefore, a need to provide a device for enabling sterilization of one or more items/objects without use of harmful chemicals, and which do not require frequent replacement of sanitizing/sterilizing components.
[0011] In addition, for health workers and policemen along with essential service workers, who are our heroes and working in the front foot, it is not possible for them to disinfect there mobile and wallet and money with every frequent use and also to charge mobile phone and other electronic equipment when needed at the time of emergency.
[0012] Various charging devices are available in the art, however, the use of separate charging device along with other compulsory essential items such as sanitizers, sterilization devices, and mask, is a troublesome task for people, especially for health worker and policemen.
[0013] There is, therefore, a need to provide a compact and efficient device for simultaneous sterilization of general as well as UV sensitive items/objects, along with wired and wireless charging of electronic equipment.
