Abstract

This application discloses a vision protection imaging system and method. The system comprises: an adjustable lens module, configured to form an image of an object viewed by an eye; an imaging parameter adjustment module, configured to adjust an imaging parameter of the adjustable lens module according to a time pattern and an adjustment criterion; and a lens adjustment module, configured to adjust the adjustable lens module according to the imaging parameter. In the system and method of this application, an imaging parameter of the adjustable lens module is adjusted according to a time pattern and an adjustment criterion, so that an optical system of an eye is adjusted accordingly as well, thereby exercising the eye. Besides, the system and method have low costs, are easy to implement, and do not affect work, study, entertainment, or the like being currently performed by a user.

First claim

1 . A system, comprising:
an adjustable lens module configured to form an image of an object determined to be viewed by an eye; an imaging parameter adjustment module configured to adjust at least one imaging parameter of the adjustable lens module according to a time pattern or an adjustment criterion; and a lens adjustment module configured to adjust the adjustable lens module according to the at least one imaging parameter.

2 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the at least one imaging parameter of the adjustable lens module comprises a focal distance of the adjustable lens module.

3 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the at least one imaging parameter of the adjustable lens module comprises an optical axis direction of the adjustable lens module.

4 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the imaging parameter adjustment module adjusts the at least one imaging parameter according to a preset time period.

5 . The system of claim 4 , wherein the imaging parameter adjustment module comprises:
a period setting unit enabling setting of the preset time period.

6 . The system of claim 1 , further comprising:
a user data obtaining module configured to obtain data about a user of the system based on a user identity determined by the system.

7 . The system of claim 6 , wherein the imaging parameter adjustment module is further configured to determine the time pattern and/or the adjustment criterion according to the data about the user.

8 . The system of claim 1 , further comprising:
an environment information obtaining module configured to obtain at least a piece of environment information.

9 . The system of claim 8 , wherein the imaging parameter adjustment module is further configured to determine the time pattern and/or the adjustment criterion according to at least the piece of the environment information.

10 . The system of claim 6 , further comprising:
a communications module configured to communicate with an external device external to the system.

11 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the system is a pair of glasses.

12 . A method, comprising:
adjusting, by a system comprising a processor, at least one imaging parameter of an adjustable lens module according to a time pattern or an adjustment criterion, wherein the adjustable lens module is configured to form an image of an object determined to be viewed by an eye; and adjusting the adjustable lens module according to the at least one imaging parameter.

13 . The method of claim 12 , wherein the at least one imaging parameter of the adjustable lens module comprises a focal distance of the adjustable lens module.

14 . The method of claim 12 , wherein the at least one imaging parameter of the adjustable lens module comprises an optical axis direction of the adjustable lens module.

15 . The method of claim 12 , wherein the adjusting the at least one imaging parameter of the adjustable lens module according to the time pattern or the adjustment criterion comprises:
periodically adjusting the at least one imaging parameter of the adjustable lens module according to a preset period.

16 . The method of claim 15 , comprising rendering output from the system that enables an input to change the preset period to another period.

17 . The method of claim 12 , wherein the adjustment criterion comprises:
periodically changing the at least one imaging parameter of the adjustable lens module within a set adjustment range.

18 . The method of claim 12 , wherein the adjustment criterion comprises:
adding a time-related additional value to a value of the at least one imaging parameter of the adjustable lens module.

19 . The method of claim 12 , further comprising:
obtaining data about a user of the system.

20 . The method of claim 19 , further comprising:
determining the time pattern and/or the adjustment criterion according to the data about the user.

21 . The method of claim 12 , further comprising:
obtaining environment information relating to an environment of the system.

22 . The method of claim 21 , further comprising:
determining the time pattern and/or the adjustment criterion according to the environment information.

23 . A computer readable storage device comprising executable instructions that, in response to execution, cause a system comprising a processor to perform operations, comprising:
changing an imaging parameter of an adjustable lens module according to at least one of a time pattern or a defined criterion, wherein the adjustable lens module is configured to image an object determined to be viewed from a reference point comprising an eye; and adjusting the adjustable lens module according to the imaging parameter.
