The foregoing first embodiment of the present invention is when a user (not shown) inserts the health care card (article) 100 from the insertion port 22 and triggers the processor 31 to read the data of the health care card 100 In this way, the ultraviolet light unit 4 can be driven to irradiate the health care card 100 through the processor 31, so that the health care card 100 can be disinfected by ultraviolet light while reading the data of the health care card 100. Therefore, when the data processing is completed, the health care card 100 can be sterilized when the health care card 100 is withdrawn from the housing 2, and the housing 2 or the health care card 100 can be reduced due to virus or bacteria contamination. Attached to the chance of cross infection and spread, it can be more secure.

In addition, it should be noted that the aforementioned driving of the ultraviolet light unit 4 may also be performed by inserting the health care card 100 from the insertion port 22 and triggering the processor 31 to read the data of the health care card 100. The input device 32 inputs a driving signal to drive the ultraviolet light unit 4 to sterilize the health care card 100 by ultraviolet light. For example, when a user (not shown) inserts the article 100, such as a health insurance card or a withdrawal card, from the insertion port 22 and touches the processor 31 to read the data of the article 100 and input it through the input device 32 The verification data related to the article 100 (such as password, ID number, etc.), when the processor 31 confirms that the verification data input from the input device 32 is correct, the ultraviolet light unit 4 can be activated at the same time. During the data processing, the article 100 is simultaneously irradiated with ultraviolet light for sterilization and disinfection.

It should be further explained that the aforementioned electronic device with ultraviolet light sterilization function is that the article 100 is inserted into and withdrawn from the housing 2 by the same insertion port 22, however, in other applications, for example, the electronic device is a railway station In the case of a mobile moving-line swipe gate induction device in front of the station, the article 100 (ticket card) may also be inserted into and withdrawn from the housing 2 from different positions. In addition, the housing 2 may further have an outlet for the user to take out another article provided to the user after being processed by the processor 31 according to the information of the article 100 from the outlet. For example, when the electronic device with ultraviolet light sterilization function is a cash dispenser, the take-out port may be a banknote take-out port, and the other article is a banknote.

In addition, when the electronic device has other exit ports or take-out ports in addition to the insertion port 22, the ultraviolet light unit 4 may have an ultraviolet light source 41 corresponding to the insertion port 22 at the same time. Another ultraviolet light source 41 is provided at the exit port or the exit port to sterilize the items exiting or taken out from the exit port or the exit port.
