Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing eyewear may not be adequately adapted for specific activities or features beyond its original intent, such as outdoor or sports use, and lacks the ability to incorporate additional features like improved sun protection or electronic components.
Innovation Solution
A method to generate modified eyeglass frame manufacturing data based on an existing frame and a target activity or feature, using a processor to automate the customization of parameters like pantoscopic angle, temple shape, and base curve while preserving the frame's aesthetics and functionality.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If an existing eyeglass frame is modified to adapt it for specific activities (e.g., sports, outdoor use), then the adaptability and functionality for the target activity are improved, but the original aesthetic design and spirit of the frame may be compromised
Solution Approach 1:
The modification process is segmented into distinct steps: selecting the original frame, determining target activity requirements, modifying specific parameters (pantoscopic angle, face form angle, wrap angle, temple shape), and generating new manufacturing data. This segmentation allows selective modification of only necessary parameters while preserving the overall aesthetic design.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent applies local quality by modifying specific local parameters (angles, temple shape) rather than the entire frame structure. This enables targeted adaptations for specific activities while maintaining the global aesthetic characteristics of the original frame design.
2Adaptability or versatility
If multiple parameters of the eyeglass frame are modified to suit specific activities, then the functionality for the target activity is improved, but the complexity of the modification process increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent creates a universal modification method that can adapt any existing eyeglass frame for multiple different activities (sports, outdoor use, driving, etc.). The systematic approach using standardized parameters and conception rules makes the process reusable across different frame types and activity requirements, reducing overall complexity.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent systematically changes specific geometric parameters (pantoscopic angle, face form angle, wrap angle, temple shape) based on activity requirements. This parameter-based approach provides a structured method for modification, making the process more manageable and less complex than redesigning the entire frame structure.
3Reliability
If the eyeglass frame is customized for specific activities with modified parameters, then the performance for the intended activity is improved, but the manufacturing complexity and data processing requirements increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent performs preliminary actions by automatically determining and calculating all necessary modification parameters before manufacturing. The system pre-computes the modified pantoscopic angle, face form angle, wrap angle, and temple shape parameters, and prepares complete manufacturing data in advance, simplifying the actual manufacturing process.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent replaces manual measurement and modification processes with automated computational methods. The system uses processors to automatically calculate modified parameters and generate manufacturing data, substituting complex manual mechanical processes with automated digital computation.
