Peripheral Segmentation for Electronic Contact Lens Displays
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Electronic contact lenses lack effective methods for contextual and efficient display of peripheral information, leading to cluttered and inconvenient user experiences, as existing technologies do not adequately manage segmented content access based on user interactions.
Innovation Solution
The implementation of a peripheral segmentation method that divides the viewing area into segmented areas associated with specific software applications, allowing users to access content through eye movements or client device inputs, with rules governing content visibility and interaction, enabling seamless transitions between central and peripheral vision areas.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If multiple software applications are displayed on electronic contact lens, then functionality and information access are improved, but display clutter and user interface complexity increase
Solution Approach 1:
The display area of the electronic contact lens is divided into multiple segmented areas, with each segment associated with a specific software application. This segmentation allows the system to present multiple applications without creating visual clutter, as each application has its designated display region. The segmentation principle directly resolves the contradiction by organizing multiple applications spatially rather than presenting them all simultaneously in a混乱 manner.
Solution Approach 2:
Different segmented areas of the display are assigned different functions or properties based on their location. Each segment can display content from a specific software application with tailored display characteristics. This local quality approach allows the system to maintain versatility across multiple applications while keeping each local display region simple and focused, thus resolving the contradiction between functionality and display complexity.
2Area of stationary object
If peripheral area is used for displaying application icons, then central vision area is preserved for main content, but peripheral information accessibility is reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The system pre-loads and displays icons of multiple software applications in the peripheral segmented areas before the user needs to access them. This preliminary action allows users to see available applications in their peripheral vision without compromising the central vision area, and can quickly access desired applications by simple eye movements or gestures, thus preventing information loss while preserving central vision.
Solution Approach 2:
The system utilizes the peripheral display area as a separate dimensional space for application icons and quick access functions, distinct from the central vision area used for main content. This dimensional separation allows simultaneous access to both peripheral information (application icons) and central content without interference, resolving the contradiction between preserving central vision and maintaining peripheral information accessibility.
3Ease of operation
If eye movements are used for content access, then hands-free operation is achieved, but interaction precision and control accuracy decrease
Solution Approach 1:
The display is divided into segmented areas where each segment corresponds to a specific software application or function. This segmentation provides clearly defined target zones for eye movement interaction, making it easier for the system to accurately detect which segment the user is looking at. The segmented structure enhances measurement precision by creating distinct, non-overlapping interaction zones, thus resolving the contradiction between hands-free operation and interaction precision.
4Ease of operation
If segmented areas are established for each software application, then content organization is improved, but display area utilization is reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The segmented areas serving specific software applications are designed to be multi-functional. Each segment can display application icons, show previews of application content, provide quick access controls, and adapt its function based on user interaction. This universality allows the segmented areas to maintain good content organization while maximizing their utility and effective display area utilization, resolving the contradiction between organization and area usage.
