System and device for promoting eye alignment
View Patent ↗A system includes glasses for executing a process to correct the alignment of an eye if a misalignment condition is detected. The glasses include lens that change opacity as instructed by a processor. The system determines that an eye is not aligned correctly based on data captured by one or more sensors in the glasses. Data is captured periodically and compared to a baseline set of data. If a deviation is detected, then the appropriate lens is turned “ON” to shade the aligned eye, thereby forcing the misaligned eye to properly align itself.
1. A method for detecting a condition of an eye, the method comprising:
capturing color signatures for an eye, wherein the color signatures include a color composition and a luminosity of light reflected from the eye;
generating a plurality of data sets for the color signatures, wherein each data set includes measured values for the color composition and the luminosity;
determining a deviation within the measured values between the plurality of data sets; and
making opaque a lens to align the eye.
2. The method of claim 1 , further comprising buffering the plurality of data sets after the generating step.
3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the determining the deviation includes determining differences between the measured values between the plurality of data sets.
4. The method of claim 3 , further comprising comparing the differences to a threshold to determine the deviation exists.
5. The method of claim 1 , further comprising determining a parameter for the eye based on the measured values within the plurality of data sets.
6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the measured values for the color composition of the color signatures includes measured values for red, blue, and green levels in the reflected light.
7. The method of claim 1 , further comprising assigning a session value to each data set of the plurality of data sets.
8. The method of claim 1 , further comprising providing the color signatures from a plurality of sensors to capture the reflected light.
9. The method of claim 1 , wherein the making opaque step includes polarizing the lens.
10. A device to detect a condition of an eye, the device comprising:
a processor to receive data from a plurality of sensors to receive reflected light from an eye, the processor configured to
capture color signatures for the eye using the plurality of sensors, wherein the color signatures include a color composition and a luminosity of the reflected light;
generate a plurality of data sets for the color signatures, wherein each data set includes measured values for the color composition and the luminosity;
determine a deviation within the measured values between the plurality of data sets; and
make opaque a lens to align the eye.
11. The device of claim 10 , wherein the device includes glasses having the lens.
12. The device of claim 10 , wherein the plurality of sensors include red-green-blue (RGB) sensors.
13. The device of claim 10 , further comprising a multiplexer to receive the data from the plurality of sensors.
