Solution Overview

Problem

Existing vision training devices fail to consider individual accommodative facility and accommodation time variations among users, leading to uncomfortable training experiences and suboptimal results due to uniform training times that do not align with user-specific lens adaptation times.

Innovation Solution

A vision training device that includes a lens holder movable with respect to a main body, a drive motor for switching lenses with different diopters, a user input unit, and a control unit to manage accommodation times based on user input or sensor feedback, allowing personalized training modes and accurate measurement of accommodative facility.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If a single lens is used in the vision training device, then the device structure is simple, but the training effectiveness and versatility are limited

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetraining effectivenessVSAvoidlens unit structure
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The lens unit is divided into multiple independent lenses with different diopter values, each capable of being independently positioned on the line of sight axis. This segmentation allows the system to provide multiple training scenarios (different accommodation distances) while maintaining a relatively simple overall structure, as each lens operates independently rather than requiring complex integrated mechanisms.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The lens holder is designed to be movable along the line of sight axis, allowing dynamic selection of which lens is active. The drive motor enables the lens holder to move between positions, making the system adaptable to different training requirements. This dynamic capability provides versatility without requiring multiple fixed lens assemblies, thus managing complexity while improving training effectiveness.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

2Ease of operation

If manual selection of lenses is used, then the device structure is simple, but the operation convenience and training efficiency are reduced

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvelens selection operationVSAvoidcontrol system
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system automatically selects and positions the appropriate lens based on training parameters stored in memory, eliminating the need for manual lens selection by the user. The control unit autonomously manages the drive motor to position the correct lens on the line of sight axis, making the operation more convenient and efficient while the automated control handles the complexity of lens management.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The control unit stores training parameters and automatically adjusts lens positioning based on pre-programmed sequences or user inputs. This feedback mechanism ensures that the correct lens is selected and positioned without requiring manual intervention, improving ease of operation while the automated feedback loop manages the system complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

3Adaptability or versatility

If multiple lenses are positioned simultaneously on the line of sight axis, then the training versatility is improved, but the device complexity and space requirements increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetraining scenariosVSAvoidlens holder mechanism
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

Each lens is positioned in a separate, discrete location along the line of sight axis, allowing multiple lenses to be stored and accessed independently. This segmentation enables the system to provide multiple training scenarios (different accommodation distances) while maintaining manageable complexity, as each lens position can be controlled independently rather than requiring a complex continuous adjustment mechanism.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The lens holder moves along the line of sight axis (adding a spatial dimension) to position different lenses. By utilizing the depth dimension along the optical axis rather than requiring lateral movement or rotation, the system can accommodate multiple lenses without increasing lateral complexity. This dimensional approach allows multiple training scenarios while keeping the mechanism relatively simple and space-efficient.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #17Another dimension (Dimensionality change)
