Eyewear Optical Property Control via External Terminal Communication
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Eyewear with optical property changeable portions lacks the ability to control these properties in coordination with external terminals like smartphones and personal computers.
Innovation Solution
The eyewear includes a frame with lenses that have optical property changeable portions controlled by a communication section and a control section, which receives information from external terminals to adjust the optical properties accordingly.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If the eyewear includes optical property changeable portions, then the optical power can be changed by voltage, but the eyewear cannot control the optical property changeable portion in cooperation with an external terminal
Solution Approach 1:
The eyewear device integrates multiple functions by combining the optical property changeable portion with a communication section and control section. The control section can operate in two modes: manually controlling the optical property changeable portion independently, or receiving control signals from an external terminal to automatically adjust optical properties, thereby achieving multi-functionality and enhanced adaptability
Solution Approach 2:
A communication section is introduced as an intermediary component between the eyewear and external terminals. This communication section enables wireless data exchange, allowing the eyewear to receive control information from external devices and transmit status information, thus facilitating coordinated control without requiring direct physical connection
2Adaptability or versatility
If the eyewear is designed to work independently without external terminals, then the device structure remains simple, but the functionality and user experience are limited
Solution Approach 1:
The eyewear system provides automatic operation through the control section that can receive commands from external terminals and autonomously adjust the optical property changeable portion without requiring manual intervention. The system can automatically detect when an external terminal is nearby and initiate coordinated control, reducing the need for user interaction while enhancing functionality
