Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If a light source directly shines on the eyes, then the eye exercising device can guide eye movement, but it creates a strong bright spot that causes discomfort and may burn the eyes
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces a light guide as an intermediary component between the light source and the eye. The light guide transmits and shapes the light to form a comfortable guide target with clear boundaries, eliminating the need for direct light source exposure while maintaining eye movement guidance functionality.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent extracts the harmful direct light emission from the system by separating the light source from the eye-contact area. The light guide module captures and redirects the light energy to create a controlled visual target, removing the harmful direct illumination while preserving the guidance function.
2Area of stationary object
If a light source emits divergent light in three-dimensional space, then the light covers a wide area, but it cannot form a visual guide target with clear boundaries or provide a clear focus point for precise eye exercise
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies local quality by transforming the divergent light into a localized beam with clear boundaries through the light guide. The light guide focuses and shapes the light energy to create a specific visual target area with well-defined edges, providing precise guidance for eye exercise while maintaining appropriate coverage.
Solution Approach 2:
The light guide acts as an intermediary that processes the divergent light from the source and converts it into a controlled, focused beam. This intermediary component enables the system to achieve both wide coverage and precise target definition by managing light propagation through its guiding structure.
3Reliability
If traditional glasses are worn to solve visual impairment, then vision problems can be corrected, but it does not address the root cause of muscle paralysis and may worsen vision if muscles are not exercised
Solution Approach 1:
The patent incorporates a detection module that monitors eye movement and provides feedback to the control system. This feedback mechanism enables the system to adjust light guide guidance in real-time based on actual eye muscle activity, creating an adaptive exercise program that addresses muscle paralysis while maintaining vision correction benefits.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent implements continuous eye exercise guidance through the light guide system, transforming the intermittent nature of traditional glasses correction into continuous active engagement. The system maintains constant visual guidance to stimulate eye muscle activity throughout the exercise session, ensuring ongoing beneficial action rather than passive correction.

Data Source
AI summary
The invention relates to an eye exercising device and method. The eye exercising device includes a carrier, a controller, and two or more than two light-emitting units. Each of the light-emitting units is sequentially installed on the carrier, and is electrically connected with the controller. The controller is used to control each of the light-emitting units to operate in a corresponding state at corresponding time according to an eyeball exercise program. The eye exercising device further includes a detector, a prompting structure and a light-extraction module. The detector can get the user's eye problems and guide the user to exercise their eyeballs. The prompting structure can remind the user to exercise the eyes regularly. The light-extraction module can generate a guiding light spot that is easy for the user to recognize, which effectively protects the eyes.
