Solution Overview

Problem

Individuals with ocular conditions face challenges in clearly viewing digital display content without corrective eyewear, and existing solutions are inadequate for real-time assistance across various eye defects, including color blindness, and often degrade user experience due to the need for prolonged use of spectacles.

Innovation Solution

A system and method for ocular assistance that includes a hardware processor with memory containing program instructions for ocular condition registration, calibration, device configuration identification, and screen customization, which registers user ocular conditions, determines necessary settings, and modifies display settings in real-time to provide optimized viewing experiences.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Measurement precision

If corrective eyewear (spectacles or contact lenses) is worn for prolonged duration, then visual clarity is improved, but physical overhead and user discomfort increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvevisual clarityVSAvoidphysical overhead
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The patent replaces the mechanical corrective eyewear system (spectacles or contact lenses) with a software-based digital assistance system. The system uses a camera to capture display content and processes it through applications that provide magnification, color correction, and other visual accommodations, eliminating the need for physical eyewear during device usage.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)

2Adaptability or versatility

If existing magnification applications are used, then far-sightedness is addressed, but other ocular conditions (color blindness, astigmatism, myopia) remain unaddressed

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecoverage of ocular conditionsVSAvoideffectiveness for specific condition
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent creates a universal digital assistance system that handles multiple types of ocular conditions through a single integrated application. The system includes various modes (magnification, color correction for different types of color blindness, text enhancement, etc.) that can be selected based on the user's specific condition, making one application serve multiple functions for different visual impairments.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

3Measurement precision

If display content is magnified for readability, then text visibility is improved, but color accuracy and overall image quality deteriorate

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetext visibilityVSAvoidcolor accuracy
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSLoss of information

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies different processing qualities to different parts of the display content based on user needs. The system can apply magnification to specific regions of interest while maintaining original quality in other areas, or apply color correction selectively to enhance visibility without compromising overall color accuracy. This localized approach allows simultaneous optimization of text visibility and color fidelity in different parts of the display.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality
