Automated Germicidal Inhibitor System and Method of Operation

An automated germicidal inhibitor system, the system comprising:

• a sterilization mechanism operable to emit a germicide element in or near a sterilization area;
• an actuation device detachably coupled to the sterilization mechanism, the actuation device comprising an electrical plug operable to enable coupling to an external power outlet, whereby electricity from the power outlet powers the sterilization mechanism, the actuation device further comprising an audible alert mechanism and a digital display,
• the actuation device further comprising an actuation transreceiver and a switch mechanism, the actuation transreceiver and the switch mechanism being operatively connected to the sterilization mechanism, the switch mechanism operable to actuate operation of the sterilization mechanism;
• a command device comprising a command transceiver, an entry key pad, and a timer, the entry key pad operable to enable entry of a password, whereby the digital display of the actuation device is operable to display entry of the password into the key pad, the timer operable to count a 20 minute time period, the command transreceiver operable to transmit an actuation signal to the actuation transreceiver of the actuation device when the password is entered,
• whereby the actuation signal commands the switch mechanism to actuate operation of the sterilization mechanism;
• and
• one or more termination devices comprising a termination transceiver and a sensor, the sensor operable to detect an event, the sensor transreceiver operable to transmit a termination signal to the actuation transreceiver of the actuation device when the event is detected and when the 20 minute time period elapses,
• the event including at least one of the following:
• motion, noise, temperature, and light,
• whereby the termination signal commands the switch mechanism of the actuation device to terminate operation of the sterilization mechanism.

An automated germicidal inhibitor system, the system comprising:

• an ultraviolet light source operable to generate a short-wavelength ultraviolet light;
• an actuation device operatively connected to the ultraviolet light source, the actuation device comprising an electrical plug operable to enable coupling to an external electrical outlet, whereby electricity from the electrical outlet powers the ultraviolet light source,
• the actuation device further comprising an actuation transreceiver and a socket bypass operable to actuate and terminate generation of the short-wavelength ultraviolet light by the ultraviolet light source;
• a command device comprising a command transceiver, an entry key pad, and a timer, the entry key pad operable to enable entry of a code, the timer operable to count a predetermined time period, the command transreceiver operable to transmit an actuation signal to the socket bypass when the code is entered,
• whereby the actuation signal actuates generation of the short-wavelength ultraviolet light by the ultraviolet light source;
• and
• one or more termination devices comprising a termination transceiver and a sensor, the sensor operable to detect an event, the termination transreceiver operable to transmit a termination signal to the socket bypass when the event is detected and when the predetermined time period elapses,
• whereby the termination signal terminates generation of the short-wavelength ultraviolet light by the ultraviolet light source.
