Abstract
A protective case for a mobile electronic device is provided. The case includes at least one light emitting diode that emits electromagnetic radiation in the range of UV-C light for sanitizing contaminated surfaces. The case also includes additional LEDs that emit light at wavelengths known to have a therapeutic effect such as a blue light for treating seasonal affective disorder. The LEDs are provided in a separate encasement that is detachable from the protective cover configured to receive and protect the mobile electronic device. A short-range wireless receiver is included to communicate with an application installed on the mobile electronic device for controlling the activation, intensity, duration and mode of the LEDs including predetermined treatment or sanitization protocols.
Claims20
An accessory for use with a mobile electronic device, comprising:
- a casing defining a cavity and configured to be removably connectable to a mobile electronic device;
- at least one light source connected to the casing and configured to emit electromagnetic radiation in the range of ultraviolet light directed away from said casing;
- a power source connected to the casing and configured to power the at least one light source;
- at least one controller configured to control the activation of the at least one light source;
- and
- a protective case configured to receive the mobile electronic device;
- the casing being removably connectable and external to the protective case.
An accessory for use with a mobile electronic device, comprising:
- a first case portion configured to protect the mobile electronic device;
- the first case portion including a back wall configured to extend across at least a portion of the mobile electronic device;
- the back wall having an opening adapted to expose a camera of the mobile electronic device;
- a right side wall configured to extend along at least a portion of a right side of the mobile electronic device;
- a left side wall configured to extend along at least a portion of the left side of the mobile electronic device;
- a bottom wall configured to extend along at least a portion of a bottom of the mobile electronic device;
- a top wall configured to extend along at least a portion of a top of the mobile electronic device;
- a front opening configured such that a display of the mobile electronic device is visible through the front opening;
- and
- a second case portion connected to the first case portion such that the second case portion is movable between a first position in which the opening is adapted to expose a camera of the mobile electronic device is not covered by the second case portion and a second position in which an outer perimeter of the second case portion is in alignment with an outer perimeter of the first case portion and covers the opening adapted to expose a camera of the mobile electronic device;
- the second case portion including at least one ultraviolet radiation source configured for emitting ultraviolet radiation away from the second case portion for sanitizing or sterilizing a surface external to the case.
