Abstract
Provided is a handheld scanner. The handheld scanner includes one or more UVC LED elements and a processor configured to execute one or more instructions, wherein the processor is configured to, by executing the one or more instructions, control the one or more UVC LED elements to be turned on in response to detecting a first event, and control the one or more UVC LED elements to be turned off in response to detecting a second event while the one or more UVC LED elements are turned on to operate.
Claims17
A handheld scanner comprising:
- one or more UVC LED elements;
- and
- a processor configured to execute one or more instructions,
- wherein the processor is further configured to, by executing the one or more instructions:
- control the one or more UVC LED elements to be turned on in response to detecting a first event;
- and
- control the one or more UVC LED elements to be turned off in response to detecting a second event while the one or more UVC LED elements are turned on,
- wherein an interior surface of a frame of the handheld scanner and a surface of at least one component inside the frame are made of reflective materials, and
- UVC emitted by the one or more UVC LED elements is reflected by the reflective materials into the interior of the frame, sterilizing at least one of the air inside the handheld scanner, the surfaces of the at least one component included within the handheld scanner, and the interior surface of the frame of the handheld scanner.
6 more elements
A data processing device comprising:
- a communicator configured to transmit/receive information to/from a handheld scanner including one or more UVC LED elements;
- a memory storing one or more instructions;
- and
- a processor configured to execute the one or more instructions stored in the memory,
- wherein the processor is further configured to, by executing the one or more instructions, control the one or more UVC LED elements included in the handheld scanner to be turned on by transmitting a first control signal to the handheld scanner through the communicator, or
- control the one or more UVC LED elements to be turned off by transmitting a second control signal to the handheld scanner through the communicator while the one or more UVC LED elements are turned on,
- wherein an interior surface of a frame of the handheld scanner and a surface of at least one component inside the frame are made of reflective materials, and
- wherein the processor is configured to control the one or more UVC LED elements to turn on, such that UVC emitted by the one or more UVC LED elements is reflected by the reflective materials into the interior of the frame, thereby sterilizing at least one of the air inside the handheld scanner, the surfaces of the at least one component included within the handheld scanner, and the interior surface of the frame of the handheld scanner.
5 more elements
An image processing method performed by an image processing device, the method comprising:
- controlling one or more UVC LED elements included in a handheld scanner to be turned on in response to detecting a first event;
- and
- controlling the one or more UVC LED elements to be turned off in response to detecting a second event while the one or more UVC LED elements are turned on,
- wherein an interior surface of a frame of the handheld scanner and a surface of at least one component inside the frame are made of reflective materials, and
- wherein UVC emitted by the one or more UVC LED elements is reflected by the reflective materials into the interior of the frame, sterilizing at least one of the air inside the handheld scanner, the surfaces of the at least one component included within the handheld scanner, and the interior surface of the frame of the handheld scanner.
