Terminal Use Pattern Collection for Eye Protection
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
The increasing prevalence of eye fatigue, dry eyes, and myopia among users of mobile communication terminals, particularly children, due to prolonged screen usage without effective measures for eye protection.
Innovation Solution
A method and system for collecting and managing terminal use pattern information by measuring distance and usage time, applying image processing techniques such as size adjustment, blurring, or darkening to alert users and encourage breaks, while determining the health state of the eyes based on collected data.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Duration of action of moving object
If the user terminal continuously displays screen content without interruption, then the user can maintain continuous information access, but the user's eye health deteriorates due to prolonged exposure
Solution Approach 1:
The system implements periodic interruption of continuous screen display by detecting use patterns (distance, time, frequency) and temporarily halting content delivery. This forces periodic breaks in screen exposure, allowing eye recovery while maintaining overall information access continuity through resumption after breaks.
2Object-affected harmful factors
If the system simply stops or restricts terminal operations after a certain use time, then continuous exposure is reduced, but user convenience and information access are compromised
Solution Approach 1:
The system continuously monitors terminal use patterns including distance, duration, and frequency metrics, providing real-time feedback about usage status. This feedback mechanism allows the system to intelligently determine when interruptions are necessary while providing users with awareness of their usage patterns, enabling informed decisions about continued use.
Solution Approach 2:
The system performs preliminary analysis of use patterns (distance, time, frequency) before triggering interruptions, allowing it to predict when eye strain risk becomes significant. This preliminary assessment enables proactive intervention before harmful exposure levels are reached, rather than reactive stopping after damage occurs.
3Measurement precision
If the system collects detailed terminal use pattern information including distance, time, and image processing data, then eye health assessment accuracy improves, but system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system uses a multi-functional approach where the same terminal device performs multiple roles: it displays content, monitors its own usage patterns through sensors, processes image data to assess user behavior, and communicates with external servers for analysis. This consolidation reduces overall system complexity while maintaining comprehensive data collection capabilities.
Solution Approach 2:
The terminal device autonomously collects its own use pattern data (distance, time, frequency) without requiring external monitoring equipment. The device self-monitors its operational parameters and generates the raw data needed for eye health assessment, eliminating the need for separate measurement devices and simplifying the overall system architecture.

AI summary
The present disclosure relates to a method and a system for collecting and managing terminal use pattern information generated during a process of controlling screen display of a user terminal for eye protection and management. The method, according to the present disclosure, comprises the steps of: measuring a distance between a user terminal and a user; measuring a use time of the user terminal; converting and processing image information displayed on a screen of the user terminal by a predetermined image processing method, when the distance and/or the use time satisfy/satisfies a predetermined condition; and collecting terminal use pattern information comprising at least one of image conversion processing information, distance, and use time when a predetermined reaction is sensed from a user.
