Solution Overview

Problem

Current VR glasses struggle to accommodate myopic users effectively, as existing solutions either reduce comfort, require complex and bulky adjustable lens barrels, or are limited by the availability and matching of gradient negative diopter lenses.

Innovation Solution

An object distance adjusting apparatus with a movable barrel component system that allows for precise adjustment of the optical device's position relative to the display portion, using a threaded mechanism and scale marks for diopter adjustment, enabling users to match their specific myopia needs without the need for external glasses or complex lens systems.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If gradient negative diopter lenses are used to accommodate myopic users, then myopia correction capability is improved, but device complexity and bulkiness increase due to adjustable lens barrels

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemyopia correction capabilityVSAvoidadjustable lens barrel complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent extracts the lens adjustment function from a complex adjustable lens barrel system and implements it through a simplified mechanism where the entire optical device assembly can be adjusted relative to the display portion, eliminating the need for complex internal lens barrels while maintaining myopia correction capability

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

Solution Approach 2:

The object distance adjusting portion serves multiple functions: it adjusts optical device position, accommodates different myopia degrees through scale marks, and works with both fixed and adjustable optical devices, replacing multiple specialized components with a single multi-functional mechanism

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

2Adaptability or versatility

If external glasses or complex lens systems are used for myopia correction, then myopia accommodation is improved, but user comfort and convenience deteriorate

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemyopia accommodationVSAvoiduser comfort and convenience
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The patent merges the myopia correction function directly into the VR glass structure by integrating the object distance adjusting portion with the optical device assembly, allowing users to adjust for their prescription without wearing separate external glasses, thereby improving comfort and convenience

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent implements a dynamic adjustment mechanism that allows users to easily modify the optical device position according to their specific myopia needs, transforming a static system into an adaptable one that responds to individual user requirements without compromising ease of use

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

3Measurement precision

If adjustable optical device position is implemented, then myopia matching precision is improved, but device structure becomes more complex

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemyopia matching precisionVSAvoidadjustable structure complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent replaces complex mechanical lens adjustment systems with a simpler mechanical translation mechanism that moves the entire optical device assembly relative to the display portion, using basic threading and limiting structures instead of sophisticated mechanical systems, thereby maintaining precision while reducing complexity

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