Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If physiological detection is performed using traditional devices, then health monitoring can be achieved, but the device complexity and ease of operation are compromised
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines multiple functions (physiological detection, image capture, wireless transmission, and information presentation) into a single integrated eyeglass device. The detection device is merged with the eyeglass structure, allowing health monitoring to be performed seamlessly during daily wear without requiring separate specialized equipment, thereby improving ease of operation while managing device complexity through functional integration.
Solution Approach 2:
The eyeglass device serves multiple purposes: it functions as both a conventional eyewear item and a physiological detection device. The same device structure supports detection, capture, transmission, and presentation functions, making it a universal tool that eliminates the need for multiple separate devices and improves user convenience.
2Reliability
If multiple functional modules are integrated into the eyeglass structure, then comprehensive physiological monitoring is achieved, but the device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The detection device is divided into distinct functional modules: detection module for capturing physiological data, image capture module for recording eye images, wireless transmission module for data communication, and information presentation module for displaying results. Each module is independently configured and can be selectively implemented, allowing comprehensive monitoring while managing complexity through modular design that enables flexible configuration based on specific needs.
3Loss of information
If continuous physiological monitoring is implemented, then comprehensive health data is obtained, but energy consumption increases
Solution Approach 1:
The detection module can operate in continuous or discontinuous modes, capturing eye images at regular intervals rather than continuously. This periodic action allows comprehensive physiological monitoring over time while reducing energy consumption by keeping the detection system inactive between measurement periods, thus balancing information completeness with energy efficiency.

AI summary
An eyeglass structure, a physiological state detection device and a physiological state detection method are provided. The eyeglass structure configured for using the physiological state detection device includes an eyeglass structure module, a signal control module, an image capturing module and an information providing module. The image capturing module and the information providing module are disposed inside the eyeglass structure module and electrically connected to the signal control module. When the image capturing module is optionally configured to be used, the image capturing module can be allowed to be configured through the signal control module to continuously or discontinuously capture a plurality of eye images of a user. When the information providing module is optionally configured to be used, the information providing module can be allowed to be configured through the signal control module to present a physiological state signal corresponding to the eye images.
