An AI-controlled optical system with adjustable screens, audio feedback, and a processor to track eye exercises, providing real-time instructions and feedback, and recording user progress for improved eye function over time.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If manual picture movement is used by the user, then the device can be operated without professional supervision, but the velocity of movement is inconsistent and not appropriate for the desired exercise
Solution Approach 1:
The patent replaces the manual mechanical movement system with an automated motor-driven system. The motorized carriage moves the picture along the base at controlled velocities, eliminating the inconsistency of manual operation while maintaining ease of use. The system includes a motor, drive mechanism, and control system that automatically positions the picture at predetermined locations.
Solution Approach 2:
The device is designed to perform eye exercises autonomously without requiring a professional operator. The automated picture movement system, combined with self-monitoring capabilities and automatic exercise sequencing, enables the user to independently conduct comprehensive eye exercises with consistent parameters.
2Device complexity
If the user performs exercise without real-time feedback, then the device structure can be simpler, but the user has no indication of actual performance achieved
Solution Approach 1:
The patent incorporates audio feedback means that generate signals during eye exercise performance. The audio feedback provides real-time information about picture distance from the user's eyes, tracking accuracy, and exercise completion status. This continuous feedback loop enables users to monitor their performance and make immediate adjustments.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces an audio signal as an intermediary between the tracking system and the user. Instead of directly displaying visual feedback that might complicate the optical path, the system converts tracking data into audio signals that convey performance information without interfering with the eye exercise itself.
3Device complexity
If the user manually determines when picture tracking is lost, then the device can be simpler, but the effectiveness of the device may be impaired due to delayed awareness
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements automated tracking monitoring with real-time audio feedback. The system continuously monitors picture tracking status and immediately alerts the user when tracking is lost, eliminating the delay inherent in manual detection. The feedback mechanism includes audible warnings and automatic exercise termination upon tracking loss.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent replaces manual tracking assessment with an automated optical tracking system. The system uses cameras or sensors to continuously monitor eye position and determine whether the user is properly tracking the moving picture, providing objective and immediate detection of tracking loss.
4Measurement precision
If professional operator supervision is required to track progress, then measurement precision can be higher, but the device cannot be used standalone
Solution Approach 1:
The patent designs the device to autonomously perform all functions previously requiring a professional operator. The system automatically tracks eye movements, monitors exercise performance, records progress data, and provides real-time feedback. Built-in memory and processing capabilities enable the device to independently evaluate and store exercise results.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent integrates multiple functions into a single automated system: picture movement control, eye tracking, performance monitoring, data recording, and feedback provision. This multi-functional integration eliminates the need for external professional supervision while maintaining comprehensive measurement capabilities.
