Air Purification and Disinfection Systems for Public Spaces

The inventive concept leverages the core technology of the original patent to develop innovative air purification and disinfection systems for public spaces, enhancing indoor air quality and reducing airborne pathogens.

The original patent's display apparatus with integrated air treatment technology, initially designed for domestic appliances, has limitations in addressing the specific needs of public spaces. The new inventive concept addresses this gap by adapting the technology to tackle the unique challenges of air purification and disinfection in hospitals, schools, offices, and hotels.

The inventive concept comprises a display apparatus integrated with an air treatment apparatus, which incorporates a first radiation source device to treat air passing through a passage channel. The system can be configured to emit electromagnetic radiation to produce a photocatalytic reaction, reducing airborne pathogens and allergens. The display apparatus can be designed to provide real-time air quality monitoring and feedback.

The new claims introduce a novel application of the original patent's technology to public spaces, providing a non-obvious solution to the specific challenges of air purification and disinfection in these environments.

Alternative embodiments may include integrating the air treatment apparatus with other public space infrastructure, such as ventilation systems or lighting fixtures. Variations could include adapting the system for use in public transportation or outdoor spaces.

The inventive concept has significant commercial potential in the healthcare, education, and hospitality industries, where maintaining high indoor air quality and reducing airborne pathogens is critical. The market for air purification and disinfection systems is growing rapidly, driven by increasing concerns about public health and wellbeing.
