Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If traditional visual acuity charts are used, then vision test can be conducted, but professional guidance is required and real-time vision information cannot be obtained

Engineering Contradiction:
ImproveSelf-administered testVSAvoidTime to obtain vision information
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The vision testing device enables users to perform vision tests independently without professional guidance. The device automatically controls light-emitting units to display test marks, captures user responses via camera, processes results, and provides real-time vision information, allowing individuals to serve their own vision testing needs.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The patent replaces the manual mechanical process of professional administration with an automated electronic system. The control unit automatically controls light-emitting units, captures images via camera, processes vision data, and displays results, substituting the mechanical interaction between tester and test subject with an automated information processing system.

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

2Measurement precision

If traditional visual acuity charts are used, then vision test can be conducted, but inaccuracy occurs due to light and distance variations

Engineering Contradiction:
ImproveVision test accuracyVSAvoidLight and distance variations
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The device dynamically adjusts lighting parameters by controlling multiple light-emitting units with adjustable brightness and color temperature. The system compensates for environmental light variations and maintains optimal testing conditions, eliminating the harmful effect of light variations on measurement accuracy.

Inventive Principle:
