Solution Overview

Problem

Existing treatments for infectious diseases, such as COVID-19, often involve pharmaceutical solutions with potential negative side effects, and there is a need for non-pharmaceutical technologies that can safely and effectively eliminate microbial infections in living species.

Innovation Solution

The use of antimicrobial lighting devices that emit electromagnetic radiation in specific wavelength ranges, including 380-420 nm and 625-1200 nm, to target and kill infectious organisms, either externally or internally, by combining visible light and infrared radiation to mimic a fever-like effect, supporting the immune system in eliminating infections.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

Core Design Contradiction:

ReliabilityVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The patent divides the electromagnetic spectrum into multiple wavelength segments (380-420 nm for antimicrobial action, 625-1200 nm for therapeutic effects) and applies each segment selectively to achieve antimicrobial effectiveness while minimizing harmful effects on living tissue through targeted wavelength selection

Inventive Principle:

Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent changes the wavelength parameter from conventional UV (200-400 nm) to a combination of near-UV (380-420 nm) and visible/infrared wavelengths (625-1200 nm), altering the physical parameters of the radiation to achieve therapeutic effects while reducing phototoxicity and harmful side effects

Inventive Principle:

Principle #35Parameter changes

2Reliability

If ionizing radiation is used to treat cancer and tumors, then treatment effectiveness is improved, but long-term consequences and tissue damage increase

Engineering Contradiction:

Core Design Contradiction:

ReliabilityVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The patent replaces ionizing radiation mechanisms with non-ionizing electromagnetic radiation (light in the 380-1200 nm range), substituting a physical mechanism that causes cellular damage with one that provides photobiomodulation and antimicrobial effects without the long-term consequences of ionizing radiation

Inventive Principle:

Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent converts the potentially harmful effect of electromagnetic radiation into a beneficial therapeutic effect by selecting specific wavelength ranges that provide antimicrobial activity and photobiomodulation while avoiding the ionizing effects that cause tissue damage and long-term consequences

Inventive Principle:

Principle #22Blessing in disguise (Convert harm into benefit)

3Reliability

If pharmaceutical solutions are used to treat infectious diseases, then treatment effectiveness is improved, but negative side effects increase

Engineering Contradiction:

Core Design Contradiction:

ReliabilityVSObject-generated harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The patent substitutes pharmaceutical chemical treatments with physical electromagnetic radiation treatment, replacing the biochemical mechanism of drugs with the physical mechanism of photobiomodulation and antimicrobial light therapy to eliminate infections without the negative side effects associated with pharmaceuticals
