  "textContent": "A charging case for wireless earbuds comprises one or more charging docks configured to receive and charge the earbuds, and ultraviolet (UV) light sources disposed within an interior of the charging case. The UV light sources irradiate the earbuds and an inner volume of the charging case to reduce microbial contamination. A control unit is operably coupled to the charging circuitry, the UV light sources, and one or more sensors, and is configured to control charging and sterilization operations based on one or more conditions, including presence of the earbuds, closure of the charging case, battery status, or user input. The charging case may support prioritization between charging and sterilization, timed sterilization cycles, and safety-based deactivation of the UV light sources. In certain embodiments, the charging case further supports additional functionalities including external device charging, media playback, communication, synchronization with other charging cases, and user status indication.",
