Definitions

• the aim is the optimal resp. to achieve proper protection of the skin against the effects of radiation, especially light and sun rays.
• the first signs appear after harmful radiation exposure, namely through more or less severe reddening of the skin with violent itching and burning of the skin, in severe cases even burns with blistering.
• harmful radiation exposure namely through more or less severe reddening of the skin with violent itching and burning of the skin, in severe cases even burns with blistering.
• Many people experience after-effects such as rashes or sun allergies.
• the chemical exposure to ultraviolet rays is too intense and is caused by exposure to the sun for too long. With particularly intense radiation, e.g. on glaciers, a few minutes are often enough to cause skin damage.
• the light intensity is different in different climates, such as in snowy areas, enhanced light Effects also arise from reflections from the lake water.
• the harmful consequences arise from the UV rays, which are not recognizable to the human eye.
• the reaction of the human skin is not uniform.
• the radiation effects for example in northern and southern countries, diverge and deviations also cause the skin colors from dark to light.
• the hair color also influences the light or. Exposure to radiation.
• the age of humans also plays an important role in terms of lighting and radiation technology.
• the length of time during which the person or their skin is exposed to the radiation is of maximum importance.
• the object of the method and device according to the invention is to record all the factors mentioned above, to convert them into a value by calculation and to display them as a digital value "protection factor”.
• the digital value "protection factor” moves on a scale from 0-24 and is identical to the norms of sun creams on the market, oil emulsions up to zinc paste, which are classified with the values 0-24.
• the exact value for the LCD display can thus be found in a relatively simple manner and the suitable protective means can be selected.
• the associated program or the software When using, you first measure the radiation value of the prevailing light with a measuring cell. The radiation value determined by the measuring cell 2 is converted in the processor of the processor into digital values which correspond to one of the sun protection factors 0-24. The determined sun protection factor appears on the LCD display 7.
• Each of the above-mentioned positions 2-5 is calculated using a multiplier stored in the processor against the multiplicant “radiation value” and the result is shown as a sun protection factor on the LCD display 7.
• the personal data entered at the push of a button is saved in the processor.
• this can change temporarily - is appropriately signaled by a connected acoustic utensil that a new sun protection factor has been determined.
• the storage of personal data in the processor is retained for later use.
• the device used to carry out the method expediently has the design of a pocket calculator and in its housing 1 there is a conventional, not specially drawn microprocessor with conventional hardware.
• a measuring cell 2 such as a silicon cell for natural and artificial light radiation
• sensor buttons 3 for age information
• sensor buttons 4 for skin colors
• Sensor buttons 5 for hair colors
• sensor buttons 6 for service life
• an LCD display 7 liquid crystal display
• Solar cells 3 or mini batteries located on the housing 1 of the device serve as a power source for operation.
• the personal data can also be entered into the processor simply by touching the actuators.
• the optimal protection factor is determined as follows:
• Measuring cell 2 measures the radiation value of the incidence of light, which is digitized in the microprocessor and converted into the radiation protection factor.
• the sensor buttons 3, 4, 5, 6 are actuated, the personal data is entered, which then makes the sun protection factor to be used appear on the LCD display 7.
