Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing vision protection technologies require users to interrupt their activities to exercise their eyes, are often cumbersome, and fail to provide continuous protection against refractive errors like nearsightedness caused by prolonged near-distance viewing.
Innovation Solution
A vision protection imaging system and method that includes an adjustable lens module, an imaging parameter adjustment module, and a lens adjustment module, which adjust imaging parameters according to a time pattern and criterion to exercise the eye muscles without affecting the user's normal activities, using electronic or multiple adjustable lenses to change focal distance and optical axis direction.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If traditional eye exercise devices are used to protect vision, then eye muscles can be exercised, but user activities are interrupted and device portability is poor
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines the eye exercise function with the imaging device (camera/smartphone) that users already carry and use continuously. The adjustable lens module is integrated into the imaging device, allowing eye muscles to be exercised through normal imaging activities without requiring separate exercise devices or interrupting user workflows.
Solution Approach 2:
The imaging device serves dual purposes: normal imaging functions and eye exercise therapy. The adjustable lens module enables the same device to perform both photography/imaging and vision protection, eliminating the need for dedicated exercise equipment and allowing continuous use during daily activities.
2Reliability
If dedicated eye exercise devices are used, then vision protection can be achieved, but the devices are difficult to carry and have poor user experience
Solution Approach 1:
The eye exercise function is merged with the existing imaging device that users already possess and carry. By integrating the adjustable lens module into the imaging device, the system eliminates the need for separate exercise equipment, thereby improving portability while maintaining vision protection effectiveness.
3Reliability
If users frequently exercise eyes by adjusting focal distances, then ciliary muscle can relax, but normal work and study are affected
Solution Approach 1:
The system enables continuous eye exercise during normal imaging activities without requiring dedicated exercise time. The adjustable lens module automatically or semi-automatically adjusts focal distances during regular camera use, allowing ciliary muscles to exercise continuously while users maintain their normal work and study routines uninterrupted.
Applied Scientific Principles
This section explains which scientific principles are used to turn an abstract innovation direction into a practical engineering solution.
Function Achieved in This Case
The system effectively reduces the risk of refractive errors by exercising eye muscles continuously and unobtrusively, allowing users to maintain their activities without additional burden or interruption.
