Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If traditional diagnostic methods are used for ocular conditions, then comprehensive evaluation can be achieved, but the process is invasive and time-consuming
Solution Approach 1:
The patent replaces traditional mechanical and chemical diagnostic procedures with a virtual reality-based optical and computational system. The VR system uses eye-tracking technology, visual stimuli presentation, and algorithmic analysis to diagnose ocular conditions without requiring invasive physical examinations or prolonged traditional testing protocols
Solution Approach 2:
The system performs preliminary diagnostic assessments through automated VR-based visual tasks and eye-tracking measurements before more invasive procedures are considered. The VR evaluation serves as an initial screening and diagnostic tool that can identify conditions early in the testing process, reducing the need for extended traditional examinations
2Measurement precision
If traditional diagnostic procedures are used, then thorough examination can be conducted, but invasive procedures are required
Solution Approach 1:
The patent substitutes invasive mechanical and chemical diagnostic procedures with non-invasive optical eye-tracking and visual perception-based assessments. The system measures ocular function through VR visual stimuli and eye movement tracking without requiring physical contact, chemical applications, or invasive instrumentation
Solution Approach 2:
The system creates virtual copies of visual scenarios and ocular responses to assess diagnostic conditions. By simulating various visual environments and measuring eye-tracking patterns in response to virtual stimuli, the system obtains precise diagnostic information without exposing the patient to harmful invasive procedures
3Adaptability or versatility
If standard visual tests are used, then basic ocular assessment can be performed, but adaptive and personalized diagnostics are limited
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements dynamic, adaptive testing protocols within the VR system that adjust visual stimuli parameters, task difficulty, and assessment focus based on real-time eye-tracking data and patient responses. The system dynamically modifies the diagnostic approach to personalize the evaluation for each patient's specific ocular conditions and responses
Solution Approach 2:
The system incorporates continuous feedback loops where eye-tracking measurements and visual task performance data are analyzed in real-time to adjust subsequent testing parameters. This feedback mechanism enables personalized diagnostics by adapting the VR visual tests to each patient's specific responses, improving diagnostic precision while managing system complexity through algorithmic control

AI summary
A patient's visual health can be evaluated and improved via virtual reality (VR) system in electronic communication with a computing device. The computing device can cause a first phenomenon to be displayed on the VR system. The VR system can collect the patient's responses to the first phenomenon, and the computing device can analyze the patient's responses to develop a second phenomenon to be displayed on the VR system. This procedure may continue until the computing device has completed a comprehensive visual health evaluation. Optionally, the computing device can cause the VR system to deliver corrective feedback to the patient in the form of visual, auditory, and tactile stimuli. The computing device can diagnose the patient with one or more ocular conditions and recommend treatment.
