  • Patent number: 10702707
    Abstract: A system and method for detecting, using a sensor, an initiation event; capturing, using a camera, an image of a user's face responsive to the initiation event; activating, responsive to facial recognition and a determination based on one of exposure data associated with the user and the absence thereof that the user has not exceed a safe use standard for ultraviolet light, an ultraviolet source; the ultraviolet source and an activation duration sufficient to sanitize a surface located within a compartment. In one embodiment, visually presenting, by a display, a plurality of graphic elements associated with a plurality of potential content for presentation to the user; and presenting user selected content to the user when the ultraviolet source is activated and responsive to determining a user's selection, wherein the user's selection is made touch-lessly.
