Solution Overview

Problem

Current color vision deficiency correction methods are limited in their ability to dynamically adjust colors based on environmental conditions, often filter important information, and do not effectively account for human eye characteristics and object movement, leading to poor imaging effects and limited applicability.

Innovation Solution

A method and device that adjust image colors based on environmental color temperature, using a neural network for inverse tone mapping and optical flow to adjust pixel levels, and generate a target image by comparing RGB values with a standard colorimetric card, allowing for dynamic color adjustment in smart glasses.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Measurement precision

If sunglasses are used to correct color vision deficiency, then color discrimination capability is enhanced, but important information is filtered out and comfort is reduced

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecolor discrimination capabilityVSAvoidimportant information
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSLoss of information

Solution Approach 1:

The patent uses liquid crystal materials that change optical properties (transmission, absorption) in response to applied voltages, dynamically adjusting color parameters rather than using fixed-color filters. This allows enhancement of color discrimination while maintaining access to important information across different wavelengths.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

Solution Approach 2:

The correction device dynamically adjusts color parameters in real-time based on environmental lighting conditions and user needs, rather than using static filters. The liquid crystal elements can be controlled to provide different color enhancement profiles for different scenarios.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

2Measurement precision

If environmental color temperature adjustment is applied, then color recognition is enhanced, but device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:

Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent adjusts the transmission characteristics of liquid crystal elements based on detected environmental color temperature, dynamically changing optical parameters to compensate for lighting conditions and enhance color recognition accuracy.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

Solution Approach 2:

The system includes sensors that detect environmental lighting conditions and feed this information back to the control unit, which then adjusts the liquid crystal element parameters accordingly to maintain accurate color representation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

3Manufacturing precision

If pixel level adjustment is performed on every frame, then imaging quality is improved, but processing time increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveimaging qualityVSAvoidprocessing time
Core Design Contradiction:

Solution Approach 1:

The patent performs pixel level adjustments at specific intervals or on key frames rather than continuously on every frame, reducing processing time while maintaining acceptable imaging quality through periodic optimization.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #19Periodic action
