Display Image Blur Control Using Ciliary Muscle Tension
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
The prolonged use of digital devices with displays leads to reduced mobility and atrophy of the ciliary muscles, causing myopia due to constant clear focusing, disrupting the natural accommodation process.
Innovation Solution
A method to vary the image blurriness on the display based on the tension of the user's ciliary muscles, using a sensor to measure muscle tension and adjust image clarity accordingly, ensuring the muscles remain active.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Measurement precision
If the image on the display is always formed sharp and clear, then the user can see the display content clearly, but the ciliary muscles of the eye do not need to continuously perform accommodation work, leading to muscle atrophy and myopia development
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies the dynamics principle by making the image blurriness dynamic rather than static. The system continuously adjusts the degree of image blurriness based on real-time detection of ciliary muscle tension signals. When muscle tension increases, the system increases image blurriness to stimulate accommodation; when tension decreases, it reduces blurriness to maintain readability. This dynamic adjustment ensures the ciliary muscles remain active and mobile while the user views the display, preventing muscle atrophy and myopia development.
2Ease of operation
If the degree of image blurriness is increased to stimulate ciliary muscle activity, then muscle mobility is maintained, but the image clarity on the display deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies the local quality principle by differentiating the treatment of different visual elements on the display. The system selectively applies varying degrees of blurriness to different regions or elements based on their importance and the user's accommodation state. Critical information remains sharp and clear, while less important background or peripheral elements are blurred to stimulate ciliary muscle activity. This localized differentiation maintains both image clarity for essential content and muscle mobility stimulation simultaneously.
3Adaptability or versatility
If a sensor is added to measure ciliary muscle tension, then the system can adjust image blurriness dynamically, but the device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies the mechanics substitution principle by replacing complex mechanical or invasive measurement systems with a more sophisticated signal processing approach. Instead of using physical sensors that directly contact or mechanically measure ciliary muscle tension, the system uses optical or electromagnetic sensing methods combined with advanced signal processing algorithms to detect muscle tension indicators. This substitution reduces mechanical complexity while maintaining the adaptability to dynamically adjust image blurriness based on real-time muscle state.

AI summary
A method for forming an image on a display with a variable degree of blurriness, which is intended to prevent the occurrence and eliminate the development of myopia in users of digital devices with displays—computers, televisions, mobile phones, players, game consoles, virtual reality glasses and the like (hereinafter DDD). This goal is achieved by changing the degree of blurriness (clarity) of the image on the display depending on the tension of the ciliary (accommodative) muscles of the user's eyes. This dependence is ensured by measuring the signal from the ciliary muscles with a sensor, transmitting this signal via a wired or wireless interface to the DDD input, processing the signal using a special program installed in the DDD, which forms an image on the display with a variable degree of blurriness.
