Abstract
An electronic apparatus is provided. The electronic apparatus is coupled with an ultraviolet light source. The electronic apparatus acquires information associated with a first object. The acquired information relates to one of a location of the first object, a distance between the first object and the ultraviolet light source, or an angular orientation of the first object from the ultraviolet light source. The electronic apparatus determines, based on the acquired information, one or more control parameters for the ultraviolet light source to disinfect the first object. The one or more control parameters relate to at least one of an amount of time for emission of the ultraviolet light, a wavelength of an ultraviolet light emitted by the ultraviolet light source, or an inclination of the emitted ultraviolet light. The electronic apparatus controls, based on the determined one or more control parameters, the ultraviolet light source to disinfect the first object.
