Eyewear Identifier System for Personalized Lens Data Exchange
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
The current optical lens delivery process is complex and costly due to the increasing number of wearer parameters required for new, personalized optical designs, necessitating updates across all actors in the process, even if not all are interested in the new parameters.
Innovation Solution
A method implemented by computer means that uses an eyewear equipment identifier to manage and transmit wearer data efficiently, allowing only necessary actors to access and update information, reducing data exchange complexity and enabling the integration of new wearer parameters without requiring all actors to update their interfaces.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Loss of information
If all wearer parameters are transmitted to all actors of the processing device, then complete information is available for personalized optical designs, but data exchange complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the data exchange process by creating distinct data sets (first set for ordering side, second set for designer, third set for manufacturer) that are selectively transmitted based on role and need. This segmentation reduces overall complexity while maintaining information completeness for each actor.
Solution Approach 2:
Different actors receive different quality/depth of data appropriate to their specific needs. The ordering side receives comprehensive wearer data, the designer receives data necessary for optical calculations, and the manufacturer receives processed eyewear equipment data. This local quality approach ensures each actor has sufficient information without unnecessary data overhead.
2Adaptability or versatility
If all actors update their interfaces to accommodate new wearer parameters, then system adaptability improves, but implementation complexity and cost increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces an intermediary processing system that translates and adapts data between different actors. When new wearer parameters are introduced, the intermediary handles the adaptation logic, so individual actors don't need to update their interfaces. The intermediary mediates between the ordering side, designer, and manufacturer, absorbing the complexity of adaptation.
Solution Approach 2:
The intermediary system performs multiple functions: data reception, processing, translation, and selective transmission. This universal system handles various data types and formats, allowing the overall system to adapt to new optical designs without requiring changes to individual actor interfaces.
3Manufacturing precision
If comprehensive wearer data is processed through all actors, then design accuracy improves, but processing time increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent performs preliminary processing of wearer data to create the first set of data at the ordering side before transmission to the designer. This preliminary action includes organizing and validating data, so when the designer receives the second set of data, it is already prepared for optical calculations, reducing overall processing time while maintaining accuracy.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent enables parallel processing paths where certain data transformations occur simultaneously rather than sequentially. The intermediary system can process different aspects of the data in parallel, rushing through necessary transformations without compromising the accuracy of optical design calculations.
