Solution Overview

Problem

Users with vision problems like myopia experience visual fatigue and discomfort due to constant eye adjustments when switching between near and far distances, requiring multiple pairs of glasses with different diopter strengths, which is inconvenient and costly.

Innovation Solution

A method and device that adjust the diopters of glasses based on positioning information and naked eye visual acuity using a diopter mapping table, automatically changing diopter strengths to match the user's environment, reducing eye strain and eliminating the need for multiple glasses.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Measurement precision

If users wear glasses with fixed high diopters for long distance viewing, then distant vision is improved, but near viewing causes increased eye strain and visual fatigue

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedistant vision acuityVSAvoideye strain and visual fatigue
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies dynamics by making the diopter value changeable rather than fixed. The glasses automatically adjust the lens diopter based on the user's viewing distance, transitioning from static to dynamic optical correction. This resolves the contradiction by providing high diopters for distant viewing while reducing diopters for near viewing, eliminating eye strain across different viewing scenarios.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The patent changes the optical parameter (diopter value) of the lenses based on viewing conditions. By detecting viewing distance and adjusting the corresponding diopter parameter, the system optimizes visual correction for each scenario - using higher diopters for distant objects and lower diopters for near objects, thereby preventing visual fatigue while maintaining clear vision at all distances.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

2Object-affected harmful factors

If users wear glasses with lower diopters for near viewing, then eye strain is reduced, but distant vision becomes blurred

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveeye strain reductionVSAvoiddistant vision acuity
Core Design Contradiction:
Object-affected harmful factorsVSMeasurement precision

Solution Approach 1:

The system dynamically adjusts diopter values based on real-time detection of viewing distance. When the user views distant objects, the system automatically increases the diopter to ensure clear vision; when viewing near objects, it reduces the diopter to minimize eye strain. This dynamic adaptation resolves the contradiction between near viewing comfort and distant vision clarity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The patent changes the optical parameter (diopter) according to viewing distance parameters. By establishing a correspondence between detection parameters (viewing distance) and optical parameters (diopter), the system automatically selects the appropriate diopter value - lower for near viewing to reduce strain, higher for distant viewing to maintain acuity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

3Object-affected harmful factors

If users purchase multiple pairs of glasses with different diopters for different viewing distances, then visual comfort is improved, but device complexity and cost increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvevisual comfortVSAvoidnumber of glasses pairs
Core Design Contradiction:
Object-affected harmful factorsVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent makes a single pair of glasses universal by equipping it with automatic diopter adjustment capability. Instead of requiring separate glasses for different viewing distances, one intelligent glasses pair can adapt to various scenarios through automated optical parameter changes. This multi-functionality resolves the contradiction by providing visual comfort across all distances while eliminating the need for multiple glasses pairs.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

Solution Approach 2:

The glasses perform self-adjustment by automatically detecting viewing distance and changing diopter values without user intervention. The system uses sensors to detect viewing conditions and autonomously adjusts the optical parameters, making the glasses self-adaptive to different scenarios. This self-service capability eliminates the need for users to manually switch between multiple glasses pairs.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service
