Specification

[0001] The present disclosure relates to the field of sterilization and charging devices. More particularly, the present disclosure relates to a system and device for enabling UV-based sterilization of one or more items/objects, and facilitating 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] In current pandemic period, it is known fact that bacteria and virus has devastating effect on entire world 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] 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.
[0010] There is, therefore, a need to provide a system and device for enabling UV-based sterilization of one or more items/objects, and facilitating wired and wireless charging of electronic equipment.

In an embodiment, the housing 302 can include the UV emitters 102 being configured inside the housing of the device 300 such that the UV emitters 102 can emit the UV-C light efficiently around the items 306, to enable sterilization.
[0068] In an embodiment, the housing 302 of the device 300 can include a diffuser 116 adapted to store sanitizer and disinfectants and further diffuse the sanitizer or the disinfectants on the items positioned inside the device 300.
[0069] In an embodiment, the device 300 can include a battery (not shown) positioned inside the housing 302. The USB port 106 being positioned on the housing 302 can enable operative coupling of the battery to one or more wired charging enabled devices.
[0070] In an embodiment, the housing 302 can be configured with magnets 308 to facilitate efficient closing of the device 300 during the UV sterilization process. The magnets 308 can efficiently keep the cover 304 and the bottom housing 302 together in the closed state when required.
[0071] In an implementation, the device 300 can be closed once the items 306 to be sterilized are positioned inside the device 300, and a corresponding button can be actuated to initiate UV sterilization of the item 306 for a predefined period of time.
