Description

Flip mirror training method Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the field of vision training and relates to a flip mirror training method. Background Art

[0002] Invention CN107970025A discloses a plane-rotating flip mirror, including a handle and a lens frame, wherein a transmission system and a control system are provided in the handle, wherein the lens frame is connected to the transmission system and is arranged at the upper end of the handle, wherein the lens frame is parallel to the axial plane of the handle, and the control system controls the transmission system to drive the lens frame to rotate in the plane, wherein the lens frame is composed of four lens frames, wherein the lens frames are provided with lenses, and the centers of the four lens frames are located on the same circumference centered on the center of the lens frame, and the plane rotation is the circular motion of the four lenses around the center of the lens frame.

[0003] However, in previous flip mirror training, managing training volume primarily relied on training duration. This approach is simple and easy, but it presents several challenges. First, each person's eye accommodation or vergence sensitivity—that is, the number of cycles per minute (CPM) they can complete—is different. Using the same training duration may result in suboptimal training outcomes for users with poor accommodation or vergence sensitivity. They may require more training time and repetitions to gradually improve their accommodation or vergence sensitivity. For users with stronger accommodation or vergence sensitivity, excessively long training sessions can lead to overtraining, compromising training effectiveness. The left and right eyes of the same individual often have inconsistent accommodation sensitivities. When training duration is used to manage training tasks, the less-effective eye often experiences insufficient training, hindering the development of balanced accommodation function.

[0004] Therefore, in flip mirror training, personalized training volume management is required according to the user's eye accommodation or convergence sensitivity ability. Summary of the Invention

[0005] In view of this, an object of the present invention is to provide a flip mirror training method.

[0006] In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides the following technical solutions:

[0007] The flip mirror training method comprises the following steps:

[0008] The period of switching the lens group of the flip mirror is used as a setting parameter to set the training task using the flip mirror;

[0009] The user changes the visual state by switching the flip mirror lens group until a certain cycle of training tasks is completed;

[0010] The flip mirror lens group switching cycle is as follows: the flip mirror lens group is initially in the first lens group, the user sees a clear and single sight mark through the first lens group, the flip mirror lens group is switched to the second lens group, the user sees a clear and single sight mark through the second lens group, and then switches back to the first lens group to see a clear and single sight mark;

[0011] Each time the flip mirror lens group is switched, it is 0.5 cycles.

[0012] Furthermore, the training tasks are matched to the age of the user.

[0013] Furthermore, the flip mirror lens group includes a group of positive spherical lenses and a group of negative spherical lenses;

[0014] Reference values ​​for accommodation sensitivity at different ages are known to professionals in this field. Generally, it is age-related for children under 12 years old, and the monocular accommodation sensitivity for children over 12 years old is 11 or 12 cpm.

[0015] When the user is between 3 and 12 years old, the training task is a period of twice the user's age;

[0016] When the user is over 12 years old, the training task is 24 cycles.

[0017] Furthermore, the flip mirror lens group includes a group of Bi prisms and a group of Bo prisms;

[0018] When the user is between 3 and 12 years old, the training task is a period of three times the user's age;

[0019] When the user is over 12 years old, the training task is 36 cycles.

[0020] Furthermore, the flip mirror lens group switching includes automatic mode and manual mode;

[0021] The automatic mode is: the flip mirror automatically switches the lens group at a certain switching speed;

[0022] The manual mode is that the user manually controls the switching of the flip mirror lens group.

[0023] Furthermore, in the automatic mode, one group of the flip mirror lens groups is a positive spherical lens, and the other group is a negative spherical lens;

[0024] When the user is between 3 and 12 years old, the number of automatic switching cycles per minute in the initial state is the same as the age;

[0025] When the user is over 12 years old, the number of automatic switching cycles per minute is 12 in the initial state.

[0026] Furthermore, in the automatic mode, one of the flip mirror lens groups is a Bi lens and the other is a Bo prism;

[0027] When the user is between 3 and 12 years old, the number of automatic switching cycles per minute in the initial state is 1.5 times the age;

[0028] When the user is over 12 years old, the number of automatic switching cycles per minute is 18 in the initial state.

[0029] Furthermore, the certain switching speed is any integer number of switching cycles from 1 to 60 per minute.

[0030] Furthermore, the switching of the flip mirror lens group is recorded in the storage, and the recording form is the number of cycles that can be completed per minute when completing the training task.

[0031] Furthermore, in the automatic mode, the time interval t between switching from the first lens group to the second lens group is recorded. 11 ,t 12 ,...,t 1n , and the time interval t between all second lens groups switching to the first lens group switching 21 ,t 22 ,...,t 2n ; n is the number of cycles;

[0032] When the training task is completed, calculate t 11 ,t 12 ,...,t 1n Average value and t 21 ,t 22 ,...,t 2n The average of the two time groups The average duration of a lens group switching cycle is The eye's accommodation, or vergence, sensitivity is measured in cycles per minute.

[0033] Furthermore, the automatic mode includes a pause training state and a resume training state.

[0034] .The flip mirror based on the training method is provided with an operation display panel for setting and displaying the user's age; the display panel is connected to the control system signal of the flip mirror.

[0035] Furthermore, the flip mirror is also provided with a communication module, the communication module is connected to a remote end, and the remote end is configured with application software; the communication module is connected to the control system signal of the flip mirror.

[0036] Furthermore, the flip mirror is further provided with a timing module, the flip mirror timing module being connected to the flip mirror control system signal;

[0037] After the user sets the age, the timing module starts timing and uploads the time data to the control system;

[0038] The control system calculates the real-time age of the user during use and the matching training tasks based on the time data.

[0039] The beneficial effect of the present invention is that the training volume does not only depend on the training duration, but is adjusted according to the user's eye accommodation or vergence sensitivity function. Specifically, for users with poor eye accommodation or vergence sensitivity function, their training duration will be increased so that they can get more training opportunities; while for users with better eye accommodation or vergence sensitivity function, their training duration will be reduced to avoid overtraining. For users with unbalanced eye accommodation function, the eye with poor eye accommodation sensitivity will have its training duration increased so that it can get more sufficient training opportunities; while for the eye with better eye accommodation sensitivity, its training duration will be reduced to avoid overtraining. This personalized training volume management method can better meet the training needs of different users and different eyes, and optimize the training effect.

[0049] Figure 1 shows the principle diagram of the flip mirror training method. The core idea is to use the lens group switching cycle as a training task. The method includes the following steps:

[0050] The switching cycle of the flip mirror lens group is used as an adjustment parameter to set the training task using the flip mirror; the user uses the switching of the flip mirror lens group to change the visual state until a certain cycle of training tasks is completed; the switching cycle of the flip mirror lens group is: the initial state of the flip mirror lens group is the first lens group, the user sees a clear and single visual mark through the first lens group, the flip mirror lens group switches to the second lens group, the user sees a clear and single visual mark, and then switches to the first lens group to see a clear and single visual mark; each switching of the flip mirror lens group is 0.5 cycle.

[0051] Example 1

[0052] As shown in Figure 2, it is the logic diagram of the automatic mode. When the training task is completed, t 11 ,t 12 ,...,t1n Average value and t 21 ,t 22 ,...,t 2n The average of the two time groups The average duration of a lens group switching cycle is The eye's accommodation, or vergence, sensitivity is measured in cycles per minute. If we know the duration of a cycle, we can calculate how many cycles are completed per minute. For example, if the average accommodation duration is 2 seconds and the average relaxation duration is 4 seconds, then one cycle is 6 seconds. Ten cycles can be completed in 60 seconds, giving an accommodation sensitivity of 10 cpm.

[0053] The user is 8 years old. The flip mirror lens set includes one positive spherical lens and one negative spherical lens. The user's age should be set first when using the flip mirror for the first time. The sensitivity training task is adjusted to match the user's age: 16C training is performed for each eye, right eye, left eye, and both eyes. For each eye, the flip mirror lens set switches 16 times to complete the training.

[0054] Training was performed using the flip mirror's automatic mode. The default lens group speed was 8 cpm, meaning the lens groups switched automatically at a rate of 8 cycles per minute. This speed could be adjusted by turning the knob. User A, with poor accommodative sensitivity, adjusted the lens group automatic switching speed to 4 cpm using the knob, completing the training task for each eye in 4 minutes. User B, with better accommodative sensitivity, adjusted the lens group automatic switching speed to 10 cpm using the knob, completing the training task for each eye in just 1.6 minutes. User C, with poor accommodative sensitivity in the right eye, adjusted the lens group automatic switching speed to 4 cpm during right eye training, completing the training task for the right eye in 4 minutes. User C, with better accommodative sensitivity in the left eye, adjusted the lens group automatic switching speed to 10 cpm using the knob, completing the training task for the left eye in just 1.6 minutes.

[0055] Pressing the Flip Mirror knob to select the mode will cause the Auto Mode light to illuminate, and the display will show the set sensitivity value, which indicates the speed at which the Flip Mirror automatically switches. Turning the Flip Mirror knob will cause the CPM value on the display to change, increasing with clockwise rotation and decreasing with counterclockwise rotation. Once the user has adjusted the CPM value, press the Start button, and the Flip Mirror will begin to automatically rotate at the corresponding CPM frequency.

[0056] Users can pause and resume training by pressing the start button. In the paused state, they can readjust the CPM value by turning the knob. After the adjustment is completed, press the start button again and the device will continue to rotate automatically according to the newly set CPM value.

[0057] Each eye is trained with 16 training cycles, and the display shows 16C. The dial decreases by 0.5 for every 90-degree rotation until it reaches 0C, whereupon it stops. The display then displays the user-set CPM, which represents the adjustment sensitivity for the trained eye. The CPM value flashes for 5 seconds. Pressing the Start button or turning the dial while the value is flashing will have no effect. After the value finishes flashing, you can begin training for another eye.

[0058] Example 2

[0059] The user is 24 years old. The flip mirror lens set includes one Bi prism and one Bo prism. The user's age is set first when using the flip mirror for the first time. The vergence sensitivity training task is matched to the user's age: binocular training 36C. The flip mirror lens set switches 36 times to complete the training.

[0060] Training was performed using the flip mirror's automatic mode. The default lens group speed was 18 cpm, meaning it automatically switched lenses at a rate of 18 cycles per minute. This speed could be adjusted by turning the knob. User A, who had poor vergence sensitivity, adjusted the lens group automatic switching speed to 9 cpm, completing the training task in 4 minutes. User B, who had better vergence sensitivity, adjusted the lens group automatic switching speed to 24 cpm, completing the training task in just 1.5 minutes.

[0061] Pressing the flip mirror knob to select the mode will cause the automatic mode light to illuminate, and the display will show the adjusted vergence sensitivity value, which indicates the speed at which the flip mirror automatically switches. Turning the flip mirror knob will cause the CPM value on the display to change, with clockwise rotation increasing the value and counterclockwise rotation decreasing the value. After adjusting the CPM value, press the start button, and the flip mirror will begin to automatically rotate at the corresponding CPM frequency.

[0062] Users can pause and resume training by pressing the start button. In the paused state, they can readjust the CPM value by turning the knob. After the adjustment is completed, press the start button again and the device will continue to rotate automatically according to the newly set CPM value.

[0063] During training, the number of training cycles is 36, and the display shows 36C. The value decreases by 0.5 for every 90-degree rotation of the dial until it reaches 0C, whereupon the display stops and displays the user-set CPM. This CPM value represents the user's binocular convergence sensitivity. The CPM value flashes for 5 seconds. Pressing the Start button or turning the dial while the value is flashing will have no effect.

[0064] Example 3

[0065] As shown in Figure 3, it is the manual mode logic diagram.

[0066] The user is 18 years old. The flip mirror lens set includes one positive spherical lens and one negative spherical lens. The user's age should be set first when using the flip mirror for the first time. The sensitivity training task is adjusted to match the user's age: 24C training is performed for each eye, right eye, left eye, and both eyes. For each eye, the flip mirror lens set switches 24 times to complete the training.

[0067] Use the Flipscope's manual mode for training. In manual mode, the user manually switches lens groups using a button. View manual mode training records by turning the knob clockwise to view more recent records and counterclockwise to view older records. Manual mode training records are the average number of cycles per minute (CPM) achieved during each completed training task. When the Flipscope is powered on but training is not in progress, turn the knob to view the results (CPM) of the last 10 training sessions. Press the button to exit viewing mode.

[0068] Press the flip mirror knob to enter the mode selection state, the manual mode light will light up, the user presses the start button once, the flip mirror will flip once, and the training process will be recorded.

[0069] Each eye is trained with 24 training cycles, and the display shows 24C. The dial decreases by 0.5 for every 90-degree rotation until it reaches 0C, whereupon it stops. The display then displays the CPM calculated during the training session, representing the accommodative sensitivity of the eye being trained. The CPM value flashes for 5 seconds. Pressing the Start button or turning the dial while the value is flashing will have no effect. Once the value has finished flashing, you can begin training for another eye.

[0070] Example 4

[0071] The user is 11 years old. The flip mirror lens set includes one Bi prism and one Bo prism. The user's age is set first when using the flip mirror for the first time. The vergence sensitivity training task is matched to the user's age: binocular training 33C, which means the flip mirror lens set switches 33 times to complete the training.

[0072] Use the Flipscope's manual mode for training. In manual mode, the user manually switches lens groups using a button. View manual mode training records by turning the knob clockwise to view more recent records and counterclockwise to view older records. Manual mode training records are the average number of cycles per minute (CPM) achieved during each completed training task. When the Flipscope is powered on but training is not in progress, turn the knob to view the results (CPM) of the last 10 training sessions. Press the button to exit viewing mode.

[0073] Press the flip mirror knob to enter the mode selection state, the manual mode light will light up, the user presses the start button once, the flip mirror will flip once, and the training process will be recorded.

[0074] For each eye, the training volume is 33 cycles, and the display shows 33C. The dial decreases by 0.5 for every 90-degree rotation until it reaches 0C, whereupon it stops. The display then displays the CPM calculated during the training session, representing the accommodative sensitivity of the eye being trained. The CPM value flashes for 5 seconds; pressing the Start button or turning the dial while the value is flashing will have no effect.

[0075] Example 5

[0076] The user is 9 years old. The flip mirror lens set includes one Bi prism and one Bo prism. For first-time users, set the age to 9. The vergence sensitivity training task is matched to the user's age: binocular training 27C, meaning the flip mirror lens set switches 27 times to complete the training.

[0077] After the user sets their age, the Flip Mirror's timing module begins counting and uploads the time data to the Flip Mirror's control system. Three years later, when the Flip Mirror is used again, the control system calculates the user's real-time age as 12 based on the time data, and the matching training task is 36 cycles.

[0078] Figure 4 is a schematic diagram of the present invention in action. The flip mirror is equipped with an operation display panel, through which the user can set and view their age. The flip mirror also features a communication module that connects to a remote mobile phone, which is installed with the flip mirror application software. The user can use the application to set and view their age, as well as query their training history.
