Aqueous ozone sanitizing system controller and methods

A control system for an aqueous ozone sanitizing device for sanitizing an object, comprising:

• a controller for controlling a process of the sanitizing device, including a plurality of process states;
• a proximity sensor coupled to the controller and configured to detect the presence of a user within a preset proximate distance to the sanitizing device;
• an object sensor coupled to the controller and configured to detect placement of the object within an application zone of the sanitizing device;
• and
• a user interface coupled to the controller and including an indicator of the plurality of process states;
• and
• wherein plurality of process states include at least:
• a state of dispensing aqueous ozone to the application zone initiated by the controller only upon both the proximity sensor detecting the presence of a user proximate to the system and the object sensor detecting placement of the object within the application zone;
• a state of completion initiated by the controller upon maintaining the state of dispensing aqueous ozone to the object in the application zone for a preset length of time;
• and
• a state of process error initiated by the controller upon not maintaining a state of dispensing aqueous ozone to the object in the application zone for the preset length of time.

A control system for an aqueous ozone sanitizing device for sanitizing a user's body parts, comprising:

• a controller for controlling a process of the sanitizing device, including a plurality of process states;
• a plurality of body part sensors coupled to the controller and configured to detect placement of the user's body parts within at least one application zone of the sanitizing device;
• and
• a user interface coupled to the controller and including an indicator of the plurality of process states;
• and
• wherein plurality of process states of the controller include at least:
• a ready state;
• a state of dispensing aqueous ozone to the at least one application zone initiated by the controller upon the plurality of body part sensors detecting placement of the user's body parts within the at least one application zone;
• a state of completion initiated by the controller upon maintaining the state of dispensing aqueous ozone to the user's body parts within the at least one application zone for at least a preset length of time;
• a state of process error initiated by the controller upon not maintaining a state of dispensing aqueous ozone to the user's body parts within the at least one application zone for the preset length of time;
• and
• a state of mitigating ozone off-gas initiated by the controller to coincide with the initiation of and continuing after termination of the state of dispensing aqueous ozone;
• and
• wherein the indicator includes a plurality of different light illuminations, each of the plurality of different light illuminations indicating at least one of the plurality of process states.
