I dont think your patent will hold up to a court challenge.
The patent is on the use not the product (edit: aka process patent). These types of patents for non-obvious uses of something that exist are a very common type of patent. If I gave you the specifics you would immediatly understand what I'm talking about, but for IP reasons I'm intentionally being vague.
