Description

Ordering device, ordering method and program

[0001] The present disclosure relates to an ordering device, an ordering method, and a program.

[0002] Tinted lenses are sometimes used as eyeglass lenses. Tinted lenses are often chosen mainly for fashion, glare reduction, blue light blocking, etc. Therefore, most people order tinted lenses to their liking by specifying the color and density of the lenses.

[0003] Tinted lenses are an important tool for improving the quality of life (QOL) of wearers with hypersensitivity or color blindness. In some cases, it is desirable to wear tinted lenses that are tailored to the wearer's visual characteristics, rather than tinted lenses with a color and density of their choice, from the perspective of improving the wearer's QOL.

[0010] The present invention will be described below through embodiments of the invention, but the following embodiments do not limit the scope of the invention according to the claims. Furthermore, not all of the combinations of features described in the embodiments are necessarily essential to the solution of the invention.

[0011] 1 is a schematic diagram of a dyed lens ordering system DIOS according to this embodiment. As shown in FIG. 1, the dyed lens ordering system DIOS includes an order management server 10 and a plurality of ordering devices 20.

[0012] The order management server 10 communicates with each of the multiple order devices 20 via a communication network NW. The order management server 10 communicates with each of the multiple order devices 20 via the communication network NW, thereby sending and receiving data with each of the order devices 20. The communication network NW may be, for example, a wireless communication transmission path, a wired communication transmission path, or a combination of a wireless communication transmission path and a wired communication transmission path. The wireless communication transmission path is, for example, a wireless LAN. The communication network NW may be any of a mobile communication network (e.g., a mobile phone line network), a wireless packet communication network, the Internet, and a dedicated line, or a combination thereof. For example, the communication network NW may use a short-range wireless communication standard (e.g., ZigBee (registered trademark)), Wi-Fi (registered trademark), or Bluetooth (registered trademark).

[0013] The order management server 10 is, for example, a server device managed by an eyeglass manufacturer. The order management server receives order data for dyed lenses from the order device 20 via the communication network NW. These dyed lenses are used as eyeglass lenses. The order management server manages, for example, the order data for dyed lenses for each wearer. The order management server may further manage the order data for dyed lenses for each order device 20. For example, when the order management server 10 receives the order data for dyed lenses, it displays the order data on the display of the order management server 10.

[0014] The order recipient, for example, checks the contents of the order data displayed on the display of the order management server 10 and requests a factory to manufacture the dyed lenses indicated by the order data. For example, if the dyed lenses indicated by the order data are in stock, the order recipient arranges for the delivery of the dyed lenses.

[0015] The order placing device 20 communicates with the order receiving management server 10 via the communication network NW to send and receive data to and from the order receiving management server 10. The order placing device 20 is an information processing device, such as a mobile phone, smartphone, tablet terminal, personal computer, or wearable device. The order placing device 20 may be a stationary device or a portable device. Furthermore, the order placing device 20 may be installed in an eyeglass store, for example, or may be a device owned by a wearer. In other words, the order placing device 20 may be a device owned by an eyeglass manufacturer or eyeglass store, or may be a device owned by an individual.

[0016] 2 shows an example of the hardware configuration of the order device 20 according to this embodiment. As shown in FIG. 2, the order device 20 includes a communication interface (hereinafter referred to as "communication I / F") 40, a display device 41, an input device 42, a storage device 43, and a processor 44.

[0017] The communication I / F 40 is capable of communicating with the order management server 10. The display device 41 displays various data. The display device 41 is, for example, a liquid crystal display or an organic EL (Electro Luminescence) display. For example, the display device 41 may be equipped with a touch panel display screen.

[0018] The input device 42 can be operated by a user and inputs data according to the user's operation to the processor 44. The input device 42 includes, for example, a touch panel, a touch display, hardware keys such as a keyboard, a pointing device such as a mouse, and a microphone (for inputting operations by voice).

[0019] The storage device 43 may include, for example, a non-volatile or volatile semiconductor memory (for example, a RAM (Random Access Memory), a ROM (Read Only Memory), a flash memory, an EPROM (Erasable Programmable Read Only Memory), or an EEPROM (Electrically Erasable Programmable Read Only Memory)).

[0020] An application program for ordering dyed lenses (hereinafter referred to as an "ordering application") APP is installed in the storage device 43. The storage device 43 also stores data and the like to be processed by the ordering application APP and the like.

[0021] The order application APP may be provided by a computer-readable storage medium, which is a recording medium that can be read by a computer. The order application APP is read from the computer-readable storage medium, installed in the storage device 43, which is also an example of a computer-readable storage medium, and executed by the processor 44. The order application APP may be downloaded from an external device via a wired or wireless communication network. In other words, the order application APP may be provided via a computer-readable storage medium or an electric communication line such as a network.

[0022] Examples of computer-readable media may include electronic storage media, magnetic storage media, optical storage media, electromagnetic storage media, semiconductor storage media, etc. More specific examples of computer-readable media may include floppy disks, diskettes, hard disks, random access memories (RAMs), read-only memories (ROMs), erasable programmable read-only memories (EPROMs or flash memories), electrically erasable programmable read-only memories (EEPROMs), static random access memories (SRAMs), compact disc read-only memories (CD-ROMs), digital versatile discs (DVDs), Blu-ray (RTM) discs, memory sticks, integrated circuit cards, etc.

[0023] The processor 44 is a processor including, for example, one or more of a CPU (Central Processing Unit), an MPU (Micro Processing Unit), a GPU (Graphics Processing Unit), and an FPGA (Field-Programmable Gate Array).

[0024] The processor 44 controls various processes for ordering dyed lenses by executing the ordering application APP stored in the storage device 43. The processor 44 receives various data from the input device 42 or the communication I / F 40. The processor 44 performs some kind of arithmetic processing based on the received data and displays the results of the arithmetic processing on the display device 41. The processor 44 may transmit the data received from the input device 42 to the order management server 10 from the communication I / F 40.

[0025] Fig. 3 is a functional block diagram of the processor 44 according to this embodiment. As shown in Fig. 3, the processor 44 includes a processing unit 51 and an output unit 52. The processing unit 51 and the output unit 52 are realized, for example, by the processor 44 executing an order application APP stored in the storage device 43.

[0026] The processing unit 51 controls the display on the display device 41. The processing unit 51 displays a setting screen 100 on the display device 41. The setting screen 100 is a screen for inputting data required to order dyed lenses.

[0027] 4 is a diagram showing an example of a setting screen 100 according to this embodiment. The setting screen 100 has a first display area 60, a second display area 61, a third display area 62, and a confirmation icon 63.

[0028] The first display area 60 displays a plurality of input fields 70 corresponding to each of a plurality of wavelength ranges. Data indicating the transmittance of the ordered object for the corresponding wavelength range (hereinafter referred to as "transmittance data") is input into each input field 70. The ordered object is a dyed lens that a user (e.g., a wearer) orders using the ordering device 20. Note that the transmittance data may be any data that directly or indirectly represents the transmittance, and may be a numerical value of the transmittance or non-numerical data. The transmittance data may also be a cutoff rate for light in the corresponding wavelength range.

[0029] The multiple wavelength ranges may be two or more wavelength ranges. In the example shown in FIG. 4 , three wavelength ranges, namely, a first wavelength range, a second wavelength range, and a third wavelength range, are set as an example of the multiple wavelength ranges. Specifically, the first wavelength range, the second wavelength range, and the third wavelength range are wavelength ranges obtained by dividing the wavelength range of visible light into three. To distinguish between the three input fields 70 corresponding to the three wavelength ranges, the input field 70 corresponding to the first wavelength range may be referred to as a "first input field 70a," the input field 70 corresponding to the second wavelength range may be referred to as a "second input field 70b," and the input field 70 corresponding to the third wavelength range may be referred to as a "third input field 70c."

[0030] For example, the wavelength range of visible light may be divided into three, with the lowest wavelength range being the first wavelength band, the highest wavelength range being the third wavelength band, and the middle wavelength range being the second wavelength band. The first, second, and third wavelength bands may be wavelength ranges obtained by equally dividing the wavelength range of visible light into three. Furthermore, the first, second, and third wavelength bands may be wavelength ranges obtained by dividing the wavelength range of visible light according to some rule. For example, the first, second, and third wavelength bands are wavelength ranges obtained by dividing the wavelength range of visible light according to the respective spectral sensitivities (spectral absorption characteristics) of the three cone cells (S cone cells, M cone cells, and L cone cells) of the human retina. These three cone cells have different spectral sensitivities.

[0031] For example, the first wavelength band is set according to the spectral sensitivity of S cone cells. S cone cells are cones that have higher spectral sensitivity to the short wavelength region of the visible light wavelength band than the other two cone cells. In other words, S cone cells are cones that respond to the short wavelength region. S cone cells have a peak sensitivity wavelength around 430 nm in the short wavelength region. That is, the short wavelength region is a wavelength band that includes 430 nm. The first wavelength band is set according to this short wavelength region. The first wavelength band may be set in the short wavelength region or in a range that includes the short wavelength region. As an example, the first wavelength band is equal to or greater than 380 nm and less than 500 nm.

[0032] For example, the third wavelength band is set according to the spectral sensitivity of L cone cells. L cone cells are cones that have higher spectral sensitivity than the other two cone cells to the long-wavelength region of the visible light wavelength band. In other words, L cone cells are cones that respond to the long-wavelength region. L cone cells have a peak sensitivity wavelength around 560 nm in the long-wavelength region, which also overlaps with the sensitivity region of M cones, which will be described later. Furthermore, around 630 nm, the sensitivity of M cones is significantly reduced, and most of the influence is on L cones. Therefore, in one example of this embodiment, the long-wavelength region is a wavelength band including 630 nm. The third wavelength band is set according to this long-wavelength region. The third wavelength band may be set in the long-wavelength region or in a range including the long-wavelength region. As an example, the third wavelength band is equal to or greater than 600 nm and less than 780 nm.

[0033] For example, the second wavelength band is set according to the spectral sensitivity of M cone cells. M cone cells are cones that have higher spectral sensitivity to the mid-wavelength region in the visible light wavelength band than the other two cone cells. In other words, M cone cells are cones that respond to the mid-wavelength region. M cone cells have a peak sensitivity wavelength around 530 nm in the mid-wavelength region. That is, the mid-wavelength region is a wavelength band that includes 530 nm. The second wavelength band is set according to this mid-wavelength region. The second wavelength band may be set in the mid-wavelength region or in a range that includes the mid-wavelength region. As an example, the second wavelength band is equal to or greater than 500 nm and less than 600 nm.

[0034] 4, the setting screen 100 has a first display area 60 provided with a first input field 70a corresponding to the first wavelength range, a second input field 70b corresponding to the second wavelength range, and a third input field 70c corresponding to the third wavelength range. On the setting screen 100, information indicating the first wavelength range (e.g., "transmittance in the short wavelength range") is displayed near the first input field 70a. On the setting screen 100, information indicating the second wavelength range (e.g., "transmittance in the medium wavelength range") is displayed near the second input field 70b. On the setting screen 100, information indicating the third wavelength range (e.g., "transmittance in the long wavelength range") is displayed near the third input field 70c.

[0035] The first input field 70a is used to input a value that the wearer wants to set as the transmittance data to be ordered in the first wavelength range (hereinafter referred to as "first transmittance data"). The second input field 70b is used to input a value that the wearer wants to set as the transmittance data to be ordered in the second wavelength range (hereinafter referred to as "second transmittance data"). The third input field 70c is used to input a value that the wearer wants to set as the transmittance data to be ordered in the third wavelength range (hereinafter referred to as "third transmittance data"). By inputting transmittance data into the first input field 70a, the second input field 70b, and the third input field 70c, respectively, the transmittances to be ordered in the first wavelength range, the second wavelength range, and the third wavelength range are specified. Note that the transmittance data may be input into the input field 70 by directly inputting the transmittance data into the input field 70, or by selecting any transmittance data from multiple candidate values ​​in a pull-down menu.

[0036] The transmittance data entered in each input field 70 may be set to be entered in increments of 2% to 20% from the lower limit to the upper limit of the input range. For example, the multiple candidate values ​​in the pull-down menu are numerical values ​​in increments of X% (2%≦X≦20%) in the range from the lower limit to the upper limit of the input range.

[0037] The second display area 61 displays the predicted luminous transmittance of the item to be ordered. The predicted luminous transmittance is a visible light transmittance, which is an index showing how much visible light transmits. When transmittance data is entered into each of the first input field 70a, the second input field 70b, and the third input field 70c, the predicted luminous transmittance of the item to be ordered is displayed in the second display area 61. When transmittance data is entered into each of the first input field 70a, the second input field 70b, and the third input field 70c, the predicted color tone of the item to be ordered is displayed in the third display area 62.

[0038] The processing unit 51 accepts the transmittance data entered in each input field 70. Accepting the transmittance data includes acquiring the transmittance data. For example, when any transmittance data is entered in the first input field 70a, the processing unit 51 accepts the transmittance data as first transmittance data. In other words, the transmittance data entered in the first input field 70a is set as the first transmittance data.

[0039] For example, when any transmittance data is input to the second input field 70b, the processing unit 51 accepts the transmittance data as the second transmittance data. That is, the transmittance data input to the second input field 70b is set as the second transmittance data.

[0040] For example, when any transmittance data is input to the third input field 70c, the processing unit 51 accepts the transmittance data as the third transmittance data. That is, the transmittance data input to the third input field 70c is set as the third transmittance data.

[0041] Note that inputting arbitrary transmittance data into the input field 70 includes inputting arbitrary transmittance data into a blank input field 70 and changing transmittance data already input into the input field 70. When transmittance data already input into the input field 70 is changed, the processing unit 51 accepts the changed transmittance data, i.e., the newly input transmittance data. For example, when a first numerical value has been input into the first input field 70a, if the user changes the numerical value in the first input field 70a from the first numerical value to a second numerical value using the input device 42, the processing unit 51 accepts the second numerical value as the new first transmittance data. In other words, the processing unit 51 sets the second numerical value, not the first numerical value, as the first transmittance data.

[0042] When the processing unit 51 receives the first transmittance data, the second transmittance data, and the third transmittance data, it calculates a predicted luminous transmittance according to the received first transmittance data, the second transmittance data, and the third transmittance data. Then, as shown in Fig. 5, the processing unit 51 displays the predicted luminous transmittance in the second display area 61. Furthermore, when the processing unit 51 receives the first transmittance data, the second transmittance data, and the third transmittance data, it displays the color tone of the order target according to the received first transmittance data, the second transmittance data, and the third transmittance data in the third display area 62, as shown in Fig. 5.

[0043] When the confirmation icon 63 is operated by the input device 42, the processing unit 51 confirms the value entered in the first input field 70a as the first transmittance data, the value entered in the second input field 70b as the second transmittance data, and the value entered in the third input field 70c as the third transmittance data. Here, the operation of the confirmation icon 63 refers to, for example, clicking or touching the confirmation icon 63. The touch operation refers to, for example, a tap operation, a swipe operation, a flick operation, or the like.

[0044] For example, the processing unit 51 disables the confirmation icon 63 when no information is entered in at least one of the first input field 70a, the second input field 70b, and the third input field 70c. The processing unit 51 may enable the confirmation icon 63 when information is entered in all of the first input field 70a, the second input field 70b, and the third input field 70c. Alternatively, the processing unit 51 may enable the confirmation icon 63 when information is entered in all of the first input field 70a, the second input field 70b, and the third input field 70c and a predetermined condition is met.

[0045] For example, the processing unit 51 may enable the confirmation icon 63 after displaying the predicted luminous transmittance and color tone of the order target on the setting screen 100. Note that, when the transmittance data input in the input field 70 is changed, the processing unit 51 displays the predicted luminous transmittance and color tone corresponding to the changed transmittance data on the setting screen 100. At this time, the processing unit 51 may disable the confirmation icon 63 during the period from when the transmittance data is changed to when the predicted luminous transmittance and color tone corresponding to the changed transmittance data are displayed on the setting screen 100.

[0046] The output unit 52 outputs the order data received by the processing unit 51 to the order management server 10 via the communication I / F 40. That is, the output unit 52 outputs order data having transmittance data of the dyed lens for each of a plurality of wavelength ranges to the order management server 10 via the communication I / F 40. For example, when the confirmation icon 63 is operated, the output unit 52 outputs the order data to the order management server 10 via the communication I / F 40. On the setting screen 100 shown in FIG. 3 , the output unit 52 outputs, for example, order data including the first transmittance data, second transmittance data, and third transmittance data to the order management server 10 via the communication I / F 40.

[0047] More specifically, the output unit 52 outputs order data including data associating the transmittance data input in the input field 70 with the wavelength range corresponding to the input field 70 to the order management server 10 via the communication I / F 40. In the example shown in FIG. 3 , the output unit 52 outputs order data including first associated data associating the first transmittance data with data indicating the first wavelength range, second associated data associating the second transmittance data with data indicating the second wavelength range, and third associated data associating the third transmittance data with data indicating the third wavelength range to the order management server 10. Note that the order data only needs to include the first associated data, the second associated data, and the third associated data, and may further include other data (e.g., a user ID, a delivery deadline, etc.).

[0048] The method for ordering dyed lenses according to this embodiment will be described below. Fig. 6 is a flow chart of the method for ordering dyed lenses according to this embodiment.

[0049] In the method for ordering tinted lenses according to this embodiment, an operator orders tinted lenses by operating the ordering device 20. Here, if the ordering device 20 is installed in an eyeglass store, the operator may be a store clerk or a customer visiting the store. If the operator is a store clerk, the clerk operates the ordering device 20 while listening to the requests of a wearer who is considering purchasing tinted lenses, thereby ordering tinted lenses that match the visual characteristics of the wearer.

[0050] Furthermore, when the ordering device 20 is a communication terminal (e.g., a mobile phone, smartphone, tablet terminal, or personal computer) owned by an individual (e.g., a wearer), the operator is the user of the mobile terminal (e.g., the wearer). In this case, the ordering app APP is installed in the communication terminal, causing the communication terminal to function as the ordering device 20.

[0051] In the following, an example will be described in which the operator is a wearer considering purchasing dyed lenses. In order to order dyed lenses, the operator operates the ordering device 20 to start the ordering application APP (step S101).

[0052] The operator operates the ordering device 20 with the ordering app APP activated to display the setting screen 100 on the information terminal 2 (step S102). That is, when the ordering device 20 receives an operation to display the setting screen 100 on the input device 42, it displays the setting screen 100 on the display device 41. Note that the ordering device 20 may also display the setting screen 100 on the display device 41 at the timing when the ordering app APP is activated. That is, the display of the setting screen 100 in step S102 does not necessarily require an operation by the operator.

[0053] The operator operates the input device 42 to input desired transmittance data in each of the first input field 70a, the second input field 70b, and the third input field 70c on the setting screen 100. When the transmittance data is input in each of the first input field 70a, the second input field 70b, and the third input field 70c, the ordering device 20 accepts the transmittance data input in each input field 70 (step S103).

[0054] Specifically, the processing unit 51 accepts the transmittance data entered in the first input field 70a as the first transmittance data, the processing unit 51 accepts the transmittance data entered in the second input field 70b as the second transmittance data, and the processing unit 51 accepts the transmittance data entered in the third input field 70c as the third transmittance data.

[0055] When the processing unit 51 receives the first transmittance data, the second transmittance data, and the third transmittance data, it displays the predicted luminous transmittance and color tone of the order target corresponding to the first transmittance data, the second transmittance data, and the third transmittance data on the setting screen 100 (step S104). The operator checks the predicted luminous transmittance and color tone displayed on the setting screen 100, and if there are no problems, operates the confirmation icon 63. The operator checks the predicted luminous transmittance and color tone displayed on the setting screen 100, and if there are any problems, changes the value in at least one of the input fields 70, the first input field 70a, the second input field 70b, and the third input field 70c. The ordering device 20 performs the processes of steps S103 and S104 each time the value in the input field 70 is changed.

[0056] When the confirmation icon 63 is operated, the output unit 52 transmits to the order management server 10 the order data including first associated data associating the first transmittance data with data indicating the first wavelength range, second associated data associating the second transmittance data with data indicating the second wavelength range, and third associated data associating the third transmittance data with data indicating the third wavelength range (step S105). When the transmission of the order data to the order management server 10 is completed, the order for the dyed lenses is completed.

[0057] In this way, the operator can order tinted lenses by specifying the transmittance for each of a plurality of wavelength ranges using the ordering device 20. In other words, the wearer can order tinted lenses that match their own visual characteristics, improving the wearer's quality of life.

[0058] Currently, there are two main methods for selecting dyed lenses: the first selection method and the second selection method. The first selection method is a method in which a wearer selects a lens that matches their preference from a product lineup with predetermined colors and densities. With the first selection method, the wearer specifies the color name and density when placing an order. The second selection method is a method called sample dyeing, in which a target lens is sent to a lens manufacturer and an order is placed to reproduce the same color and density as that lens.

[0059] There is no significant difference between the first and second selection methods in the process of ordering tinted lenses, both of which emphasize apparent color and density. On the other hand, tinted lenses are an important tool for improving the QOL of wearers with hypervisibility or color blindness. Wearing tinted lenses that match the wearer's visual characteristics rather than color and density preferences is desirable for improving the QOL of wearers with hypervisibility or color blindness. However, both the first and second selection methods order tinted lenses with an emphasis on apparent color and density, and currently it is not possible to order tinted lenses that match the wearer's visual characteristics.

[0060] The ordering device 20 of the present embodiment receives transmittance data of dyed lenses for each of a plurality of wavelength ranges, and outputs order data including the received transmittance data for each wavelength range to the order management server 10. With this configuration, it becomes possible to order dyed lenses that match the visual characteristics of the wearer.

[0061] Furthermore, visual hypersensitivity and color blindness are thought to occur when the sensitivity of three cone cells (S cone cells, M cone cells, and L cone cells) on the retina is higher or lower than that of healthy individuals. Based on this background, when ordering tinted lenses, the ordering device 20 can specify the transmittance of each of three wavelength ranges corresponding to the spectral sensitivity of the three cone cells. This makes it possible to order tinted lenses that are more suited to the wearer's visual characteristics. In other words, when ordering tinted lenses, the wearer can specify the intensity of stimulation (cone stimulation amount) that each of the three cone cells will receive according to their own visual characteristics.

[0062] In this embodiment, three wavelength ranges are exemplified as the multiple wavelength ranges for specifying the transmittance of a tinted lens, but this is not limiting. For example, the multiple wavelength ranges may be four wavelength ranges. In this case, for example, visible light may be divided into four equal parts. As an example, the wavelength range of visible light is 380 nm to 780 nm, the first wavelength range is 380 nm or more and less than 480 nm, the second wavelength range is 480 nm or more and less than 580 nm, the third wavelength range is 580 nm or more and less than 680 nm, and the fourth wavelength range is 680 nm or more and less than 780 nm.

[0063] The execution order of each process, such as operations, procedures, steps, and stages, in the devices, systems, programs, and methods shown in the claims, specifications, and drawings, is not specifically indicated as "before," "prior to," or the like. It should also be noted that the execution order of each process can be implemented in any order, as long as the output of a previous process is not used in a subsequent process. Even if the operational flow in the claims, specifications, and drawings is described using "first," "next," or the like for convenience, this does not mean that the process must be implemented in this order. Furthermore, to the extent permitted by law, the disclosures of Japanese Patent Application No. 2023-209261 and all documents cited herein are incorporated by reference.
