Description

Technical Field

[0001] This disclosure relates to the field of eyewear technology, and more specifically, to an eyewear control device, eyewear, and eyewear control method. Background Technology

[0002] As people's living standards improve, their demands for the comfort of wearing glasses are increasing. As a common vision correction or protection device, the tightness of the temples and frames directly affects the wearer's experience. In actual use, if the temples are too tight, it will put significant pressure on the ears and sides of the head, easily causing pain after prolonged wear and affecting the user's experience. If the temples are too loose, the glasses are prone to slipping off during wear, causing inconvenience, especially in situations requiring frequent movement, such as sports or work.

[0003] Currently, most traditional eyeglass temples and frames are connected by fixed hinges or simple adjustable structures. Fixed hinges mean that the angle between the temples and the frame is fixed, making it impossible to flexibly adjust them according to the different head shapes, sizes, and personal preferences of different wearers. Summary of the Invention

[0004] One object of this disclosure is to provide a new technical solution that can automatically adjust the tightness of the temples and frames of eyeglasses.

[0005] According to a first aspect of the present disclosure, a glasses control device is provided, comprising:

[0006] A pressure detection module is used to detect the pressure exerted on the nose pads of the glasses during the wearing of the glasses;

[0007] The clamping force adjustment module is used to adjust the clamping force of the temples of the glasses toward the face according to the pressure.

[0008] Optionally, the clamping force that adjusts the tendency of the temples of the glasses to move towards the face according to the pressure includes:

[0009] Determine the comparison result between the pressure and a first threshold and a second threshold; wherein the first threshold is less than the second threshold;

[0010] The clamping force is adjusted based on the comparison results.

[0011] Optionally, adjusting the clamping force based on the comparison result includes:

[0012] If the comparison result indicates that the pressure is less than or equal to the first threshold, reduce the clamping force;

[0013] If the comparison result indicates that the pressure is greater than or equal to the second threshold, the clamping force is increased.

[0014] Optionally, the temples and the frame of the glasses are rotatably connected via a rotating connection assembly;

[0015] The clamping force adjustment module is used to adjust the torque of the rotating connection assembly according to the pressure, so as to adjust the clamping force.

[0016] Optionally, the rotating connection assembly includes a rotating shaft elastic structure, a rotating structure, a slider, and a limiting plate, wherein the limiting plate is disposed between the rotating shaft elastic structure and the slider.

[0017] The slider is used to move according to the torsion of the rotating structure, and by the movement, the position of the limiting plate between the rotating shaft elastic structure and the slider is changed to adjust the torque.

[0018] Optionally, the clamping force adjustment module includes a processing unit and a motor.

[0019] The processing unit is used to: determine the difference between the pressure and the target value; generate a drive signal for the motor based on the difference; and drive the motor to cause the rotating structure to twist based on the drive signal.

[0020] Optionally, the device further includes a display module for displaying the comparison results.

[0021] Optionally, the pressure detection module is disposed on the frame of the glasses and in contact with the nose pad.

[0022] According to a second aspect of this disclosure, eyeglasses are provided, including the device as described in the first aspect of this disclosure.

[0023] According to a third aspect of this disclosure, a method for controlling eyeglasses is provided, comprising:

[0024] The pressure exerted on the nose pads of the glasses during the wearing of the glasses is detected;

[0025] The clamping force adjusts the tendency of the temples of the glasses to move towards the face based on the pressure.

[0026] According to a fourth aspect of this disclosure, a computer-readable storage medium is provided having a computer program stored thereon that, when executed by a processor, implements the method described in the first aspect of this disclosure.

[0027] Through the embodiments of this disclosure, the clamping force of the temples of the glasses is adjusted to a suitable value according to the pressure on the nose pads during the wearing of the glasses. This not only ensures that the glasses are securely worn on the head and prevents them from shaking or falling off during daily activities, but also reduces pressure on the ears and head, preventing discomfort caused by prolonged wear.

[0040] <Device Embodiment>

[0041] This embodiment provides a glasses control device. Figure 1 This is a block diagram of an eyeglass control device according to an embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0042] like Figure 1 As shown, the glasses control device 1000 may include a pressure detection module 1100 and a clamping force adjustment module 1200.

[0043] The pressure detection module 1100 is used to detect the pressure on the nose pads of the glasses during wear. The clamping force adjustment module 1200 is used to adjust the clamping force of the temples of the glasses towards the face based on the pressure.

[0044] In one embodiment, the pressure detection module 1100 may include a pressure sensor and a controller.

[0045] In this embodiment, the pressure sensor can be placed inside the nose pad of the nose bridge or on the frame of the glasses.

[0046] In this embodiment, as Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the nose pad may include a nose pad bracket 22 and a nose pad pad 23. One end of the nose pad bracket 22 is connected to the nose pad pad 23, and the other end of the nose pad bracket is connected to the frame 24.

[0047] In this embodiment, the pressure sensor 21 can be set at the position where the nose pad is connected to the frame 24, so that the pressure sensor 21 is in contact with the frame 24 to detect the pressure on the nose pad during the wearing of the glasses.

[0048] In such Figure 2 In the example shown, the nose pad may include two nose pad supports 22, with a first end of each nose pad support 22 connected to a nose pad pad 23 and a second end of each nose pad support 22 connected to a frame 24. In this embodiment, there are two connection points between the nose pad 22 and the frame 24, so a pressure sensor 21 can be provided at at least one connection point.

[0049] In such Figure 3 In the example shown, the nose pad may include a nose pad support 22, with its first and second ends connected to two nose pads 23 respectively, and its third end connected to the eyeglass frame 24. In this embodiment, there is one connection point between the nose pad 22 and the eyeglass frame 24, and a pressure sensor 21 may be installed at this connection point.

[0050] In this embodiment, the pressure sensor 21 can output a voltage signal to the controller, representing the pressure exerted on the nose pads during the wearing of the glasses. The controller can then determine the pressure exerted on the nose pads during the wearing of the glasses based on this voltage signal.

[0051] In some embodiments, the pressure detection module 1100 may further include a power amplifier, which can amplify the voltage signal output by the pressure sensor 21 representing the pressure on the nose pad during the wearing of glasses, and the amplified voltage signal is within the effective monitoring range of the controller, so that the controller obtains more accurate information about the pressure on the nose pad during the wearing of glasses based on the amplified voltage signal.

[0052] In this embodiment, the temples of the glasses have a clamping force that tends to move toward the face, and the magnitude of this clamping force is related to the magnitude of the pressure on the nose pads during the wearing of the glasses.

[0053] Specifically, the smaller the clamping force, the greater the pressure on the nose pads during the wearing of glasses; conversely, the greater the clamping force, the less pressure the nose pads experience during the wearing of glasses.

[0054] In some embodiments, adjusting the clamping force of the temples of the glasses toward the face based on the pressure exerted on the nose pads during the wearing of the glasses may include: determining a comparison result of the pressure with a first threshold and a second threshold, wherein the first threshold is less than the second threshold; and adjusting the clamping force based on the comparison result.

[0055] In this embodiment, the first threshold and the second threshold can be set based on the pressure on the nose pads when multiple users comfortably wear glasses.

[0056] The comparison results in this embodiment may include the following types of results:

[0057] The first scenario is that the pressure is less than or equal to the first threshold.

[0058] The second type is where the pressure is greater than the first threshold and less than the second threshold;

[0059] The third type is when the pressure is greater than or equal to the second threshold.

[0060] In this embodiment, the clamping force can be adjusted if the comparison result is the first or third case; if the comparison result is the second case, there is no need to adjust the clamping force.

[0061] In some embodiments, the glasses control device 1000 may further include a display module for displaying the comparison result.

[0062] In one example, the display module could be a screen, in which case the display module could display the comparison result via text.

[0063] In another example, the display module could be an indicator light, which could then display the comparison results by emitting different colors of light. Specifically, each comparison result corresponds to a different color; for example, the first comparison result could correspond to blue, the second to green, and the third to red.

[0064] In this embodiment, the pressure detection module can detect the pressure on the nose pad during the wearing of glasses at a set frequency, and the clamping force adjustment module also determines the comparison result between the pressure and the first threshold and the second threshold at a set frequency. The display module displays the latest comparison result.

[0065] The comparison results are displayed by the display module in this embodiment, which can remind the user to adjust the clamping force accordingly.

[0066] In some embodiments, adjusting the clamping force based on the comparison result may include: decreasing the clamping force if the comparison result is a first result; and increasing the clamping force if the comparison result is a third result.

[0067] In this embodiment, if the comparison result is the first result, the nose pad experiences less pressure during the wearing of glasses, indicating a larger clamping force. Therefore, the clamping force can be reduced. If the comparison result is the third result, the nose pad experiences more pressure during the wearing of glasses, indicating a smaller clamping force. Therefore, the clamping force can be increased to quickly adjust the clamping force to a level that makes the user comfortable.

[0068] In this embodiment, adjusting the clamping force of the temples can be done by adjusting the tightness between the frame and the temples.

[0069] Through the embodiments of this disclosure, the clamping force of the temples of the glasses is adjusted to a suitable value according to the pressure on the nose pads during the wearing of the glasses. This not only ensures that the glasses are securely worn on the head and prevents them from shaking or falling off during daily activities, but also reduces pressure on the ears and head, preventing discomfort caused by prolonged wear.

[0070] In some embodiments, the temples and the frame of the glasses are rotatably connected by a rotating connection assembly; the clamping force adjustment module is used to adjust the torque of the rotating connection assembly according to the pressure, so as to adjust the clamping force.

[0071] In some embodiments, the rotating connection assembly may include a hinge, and the user can adjust the torque of the rotating connection assembly by turning the screw in the hinge.

[0072] In some embodiments, an angle scale may be provided around the screw of the eyeglass hinge so that the user can turn the screw according to the angle scale to adjust the clamping force to a level that is comfortable for the user.

[0073] Furthermore, the clamping force adjustment module 1200 can determine the target adjustment angle of the screw based on the difference between the pressure detected by the pressure detection module 1100 and the set target value. The display module displays the target adjustment angle to remind the user to turn the screw according to the target adjustment angle and the angle scale.

[0074] In some embodiments, such as Figure 4 As shown, the rotating connection assembly 40 includes a rotating shaft elastic structure 41, a rotating structure 42, a slider 43, and a limiting plate 44. The limiting plate is disposed between the rotating shaft elastic structure and the slider. The slider is used to move according to the torsion of the rotating structure, and by moving, the thickness of the limiting plate between the rotating shaft elastic structure and the slider changes to adjust the torque.

[0075] In such Figure 4 In the example shown, the rotating structure 42 is twisted, and the rotation of the rotating structure 42 causes the slider 43 to move up and down along the axis of the rotating structure. The up and down movement of the slider 43 adjusts the front and back position of the limiting plate 44. The front and back position movement of the limiting plate 44 changes the compression of the rotating shaft elastic structure 41, thereby adjusting the torque of the temple.

[0076] In some embodiments, an angle scale may be provided around the twisting and rotating structure so that the user can twist the twisting and rotating structure according to the angle scale to adjust the clamping force to a level that is comfortable for the user.

[0077] Furthermore, the clamping force adjustment module 1200 can determine the target adjustment angle of the twisting rotation structure based on the difference between the pressure detected by the pressure detection module 1100 and the set target value. The display module displays the target adjustment angle to remind the user to twist the twisting rotation structure according to the target adjustment angle and the angle scale.

[0078] In this embodiment, first mapping data reflecting the mapping relationship between the difference and the angle can be preset; based on the difference and the first mapping data, the angle corresponding to the difference is obtained and used as the target adjustment angle.

[0079] The first mapping data can be the first mapping function, or the first lookup table, etc., and is not limited here.

[0080] For the first mapping function, the dependent variable is the angle and the independent variable is the difference. By substituting the difference into the first mapping function, the angle corresponding to the difference can be obtained, which can be used as the target adjustment angle.

[0081] For the first lookup table, the angle corresponding to the difference can be found in the first lookup table and used as the target adjustment angle. If the difference cannot be found directly in the first lookup table, two values ​​adjacent to the difference can be found, and based on these two values ​​and the angles corresponding to these two values, an interpolation method can be used to obtain the angle corresponding to the difference and used as the target adjustment angle.

[0082] In some embodiments, the clamping force adjustment module 1200 includes a processing unit and a motor. The processing unit is used to: determine the difference between the pressure and the target value; generate a drive signal for the motor based on the difference; and drive the motor to drive the rotating structure to generate a torsion based on the drive signal.

[0083] In this embodiment, the target adjustment angle of the torsional rotating structure can be determined based on the difference, and a drive signal for the motor can be generated based on the target adjustment angle. The generated drive signal can drive the motor to rotate the rotating structure by the target adjustment angle.

[0084] This embodiment enables automatic adjustment of the clamping force.

[0091] Step S5200: Adjust the clamping force of the temples of the glasses according to the pressure to control their tendency to move towards the face.

[0093] In some embodiments, adjusting the clamping force based on the comparison result includes: reducing the clamping force when the comparison result indicates that the pressure is less than or equal to a first threshold; and increasing the clamping force when the comparison result indicates that the pressure is greater than or equal to a second threshold.
