Solution Approach 1:

The device segments light stimulation into specific wavelength bands (violet light around 405nm, blue light around 450nm, green light around 530nm) that can independently target different brain wave frequencies. Each wavelength segment corresponds to a specific brain wave type (theta, alpha, beta), allowing precise control without requiring complex multi-parameter adjustment systems.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The device changes the parameter of light wavelength to control brain wave induction. By adjusting the wavelength parameter of LED lights (405nm for theta, 450nm for alpha, 530nm for beta waves), the system achieves different cognitive effects without complex mechanical or electronic controls, simplifying the overall device architecture.

Solution Approach 1:

The device applies local quality by using specific wavelength regions (violet 405nm, blue 450nm, green 530nm) rather than full-spectrum white light. Each wavelength region provides targeted brain wave stimulation while minimizing overall visual discomfort. The localized wavelength approach allows effective treatment without the harshness of high-intensity full-spectrum illumination.

AI summary

To provide a device and a method for preventing, improving, or preventing a worsening of depression by irradiating light having specific wavelengths, such as violet light, as well as a method for operating the device.The above-described problem is solved by a device and a method used for the purpose of preventing, improving, or preventing a worsening of depression by irradiating a subject with violet light having a wavelength within a range of 360 to 400 nm. An operating method of a device is a method for operating a device including irradiation means for irradiating a subject with violet light having a wavelength within a range of 360 to 400 nm and used for the purpose of preventing, improving, or preventing a worsening of depression. The operating method comprises operating the irradiation means of the device by changing, by transmission and reception with an isolation controller such as a mobile terminal, one or two or more irradiation conditions selected from an irradiation state (including continuous light or blinking frequency), an irradiance, an irradiation time, an irradiation start time, an irradiation end time, and continuous light or a blinking frequency.
