Solution Overview

Problem

Conventional glasses and contact lenses designed for color blindness correction are fixed in their tinting, providing constant color alteration to the user, which may not be suitable for all situations and lacks dynamic adjustment.

Innovation Solution

Electronic glasses with a display and processing capabilities that allow for a color blindness correction mode to be switched on and off, dynamically tinting the display to correct color vision deficiency based on user requests, using a processor to control the display in transparent, display, and color correction modes.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If conventional glasses or contact lenses with fixed tinting are used for color blindness correction, then color differentiation is improved for color blind users, but the user cannot adapt to different environments and situations

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecolor differentiation capabilityVSAvoidenvironmental adaptability
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies dynamics by transitioning from fixed tinting to dynamically adjustable tinting. The electronic display in the glasses can change its optical properties in real-time based on environmental conditions and user needs, allowing the correction mode to be activated or deactivated and adjusted as required by different situations.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The patent implements parameter changes by allowing the optical parameters of the display to be modified. The display can adjust its transparency, color filtration, and tinting intensity through software control, enabling it to adapt to various lighting conditions and color correction requirements without physical replacement of lenses.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

2Reliability

If fixed tinting is applied continuously for color blindness correction, then color perception is improved, but the user loses the ability to view colors in their natural state

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecolor perception accuracyVSAvoidselective usage flexibility
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies periodic action by enabling the color correction mode to be switched on and off based on user needs. The display can alternate between correction mode and normal transparent mode, allowing users to selectively apply color correction only when needed while maintaining natural color perception during other times.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #19Periodic action

Solution Approach 2:

The system dynamically switches between two states: color correction mode and normal transparent mode. This dynamic switching capability allows users to control when color correction is applied, providing flexibility and ease of operation while maintaining both corrected and natural color perception capabilities.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

3Adaptability or versatility

If electronic glasses with dynamic display are used for color blindness correction, then adaptability and selective correction are improved, but device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedynamic correction capabilityVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies universality by designing the electronic display to serve multiple functions: it acts as both a color correction filter and a transparent window for natural vision. The same display component provides both color blindness correction and normal viewing capabilities, reducing the need for separate systems and minimizing overall device complexity.

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

Solution Approach 2:

The patent uses copying by implementing the color correction functionality through software control of the display rather than through complex optical hardware. The digital processing and software-based color filtration simplify the physical implementation compared to traditional optical approaches, reducing device complexity while maintaining adaptability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #26Copying

AI summary

Electronic glasses having a display that correct for color blindness, and a method for operating the same. A user request for correction of color blindness is received. In response, a specific color is displayed, which is selected for correction of color blindness on the display. The display may be operated in a transparent state or in a display mode in which images are displayed. A color adjustment application may be executed to obtain color measurement result information for the particular user, where the specific color selected for correction of color blindness may be based on the measurement result information.
