Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional prism glasses primarily focus on reducing eye strain by refracting light for improved visibility but do not effectively influence the visual information received by the brain, body, and mental state of the wearer.
Innovation Solution
A visual information changing device using prism glasses that refract light in a specific direction to alter the input visual information, incorporating an imaging unit, processor, and display to adjust the spatial perception and mental state through coordinated transformation of visual data.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If conventional prism glasses are used to refract light for improved visibility, then eye strain is reduced, but the effect on visual information processing by the brain and body is insufficient
Solution Approach 1:
The patent changes the refractive angle parameter of the prism lenses to optimize both visibility and visual information processing effects. By adjusting the refractive angle within specific ranges, the device simultaneously improves ease of viewing and enhances the impact on spatial perception and brain processing of visual information.
2Adaptability or versatility
If prism lenses with larger refractive angles are used to enhance visual information processing, then the effect on brain and body increases, but visibility and comfort decrease
Solution Approach 1:
The patent establishes optimal parameter ranges for refractive angles (0.5° to 20°) that balance the competing requirements of enhancing visual information processing effects while maintaining comfortable visibility. This parameter optimization resolves the contradiction between strong brain/body effects and ease of operation.
3Reliability
If prism glasses are designed to address specific eye movement issues, then targeted therapeutic effects are achieved, but the device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent divides the visual field into different directional components (upward, downward, leftward, rightward movements) and uses separate prism lenses for each eye to address specific eye movement deficiencies. This segmentation allows targeted therapeutic effects while maintaining a relatively simple glasses structure.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent applies different refractive properties to different parts of the visual field by configuring prism lenses with specific orientations for each eye. Each lens is tailored to address the specific directional eye movement deficiency, creating local quality variations that enhance therapeutic effectiveness without requiring complex overall device design.

Function Achieved in This Case
The device enhances spatial perception and adjusts the brain's and body's response to visual information, improving posture, reducing muscle tension, and promoting healthy eye movement patterns, thereby enhancing daily life activities and quality of life for individuals with conditions like strabismus and hemispatial neglect.
Implementation Method 1
two prism lenses arranged side by side in a left-right direction on the frame and refracting incident light incident on each of them in the same direction

AI summary
Glasses for adjusting an effect on a brain and a body of a wearer, include: a frame; and two left and right prism lenses arranged side by side in a left-right direction on the frame, which lenses refract incident light incident on each of them in the same direction, thereby changing visual information input to eyes of the wearer in comparison to a case where the wearer is not wearing the glasses. Both the two left and right prism lenses are evenly inclined from one end to another end of each of them.
