You can't patent an idea on its own; you patent a specific, working implementation of it by filing an application with a patent office, such as the USPTO, the EPO, the UK IPO or your national office, that describes exactly how it works. The process starts with a written invention disclosure, moves through drafting claims and a specification, and ends with filing, examination and, if allowed, grant.
