Abstract

An eye mask and a control method thereof are provided. The eye mask includes a casing, a first information prompting device and a second information prompting device arranged on the casing. The first information prompting device is configured for internally giving information prompts, the second information prompting device is configured for externally giving information prompts. The control method includes controlling the first information prompting device and the second information prompting device to give information prompts simultaneously in a working state.

Claims (24)

1 . An eye mask, comprising:

a casing;

a first information prompting device and a second information prompting device arranged on the casing, the first information prompting device configured for internally giving information prompts, the second information prompting device configured for externally giving information prompts; and

a controller configured for controlling the first information prompting device and the second information prompting device to give information prompts simultaneously in a working state;

wherein the first information prompting device is a liquid crystal display configured to face a user wearing the eye mask, the second information prompting device is a projection screen configured for public viewing, and the information prompts given by the first information prompting device and the information prompts given by the second information prompting device are the same.

2 . The eye mask according to claim 1 , wherein the first information prompting device comprises two first illuminants located in an inner surface of the casing, symmetrically distributed on both sides of the casing and substantially corresponding to positions of eyes of a user.

3 . The eye mask according to claim 2 , wherein the two first illuminants are arranged on a light guide plate, and the two first illuminants are connected to different circuits of the controller.

4 . The eye mask according to claim 2 , further comprising a heat component and a massage vibrator arranged in the casing, the two first illuminants emit red light when the heat component works, and an intensity and/or a color of a light emitted by the two first illuminants changes according a periodic change rule related to a working rule of the massage vibrator.

5 . A control method of the eye mask of claim 1 , comprising:

controlling the first information prompting device and the second information prompting device to give information prompts simultaneously; and

controlling the first information prompting device and the second information prompting device to give the same information prompts.

6 . The control method according to claim 5 , wherein the first information prompting device comprises two first illuminants located in an inner surface of the casing, symmetrically distributed on both sides of the casing and substantially corresponding to positions of eyes of a user, the control method comprises controlling the two first illuminants to emit light simultaneously.

7 . The control method according to claim 6 , wherein the eye mask comprises a heat mode with a heat component, and the control method further comprises controlling the two first illuminants to emit red light when the eye mask is in the heat mode, and an intensity of the light increases when a heat temperature increases.

8 . The control method according to claim 6 , wherein the eye mask comprises a weak power mode, the control method comprises controlling one of the first illuminants to flash to remind the user when the eye mask is in the weak power mode, while the other one of the first illuminants maintains working parameters thereof.

9 . The control method according to claim 6 , wherein the eye mask comprises a breathing guidance mode, the control method comprises controlling the two first illuminants to simultaneously emit a light with a first intensity and alternatively simultaneously emit a light with a second intensity in the breathing guidance working mode.

10 . The control method according to claim 6 , wherein the eye mask comprises a massage mode with a massage vibrator, the control method comprises controlling an intensity and/or a color of the light emitted by the two first illuminants to change, and to present a periodic change rule related to a working rule of the massage vibrator.

11 . The control method according to claim 10 , wherein in the massage mode, the control method comprises controlling both the two first illuminants to emit 630 nm wavelength light in a first period of time, and controlling one of the first illuminants to emit 590 nm wavelength light, and the other one of the first illuminants to emit 630 nm wavelength light in a second period of time.

12 . The control method according to claim 6 , wherein the eye mask comprises a communication associated mode, and the control method comprises controlling the two first illuminants to emit blue light and flash to remind the user when new information comes from a communication device.

13 . The control method according to claim 6 , wherein the eye mask comprises a meditation mode, and the first information prompting device includes a first illuminant, the second information prompting device includes a second illuminant, the control method comprises controlling the first illuminant and the second illuminant to both flash red light.

14 . The control method according to claim 6 , wherein the control method comprises setting a working time for a working mode of the eye mask, and when the working time is over, controlling the two first illuminants to display in a predetermined color, or flashing a predetermined number of times or giving light intensity gradually changing from dark to bright to allow the user to be prompted.

15 . An eye mask, comprising:

a casing;

an internal information prompting device and an external information prompting device arranged on the casing, the internal information prompting device configured for giving information prompts for a user wearing the eye mask, the external information prompting device configured for giving information prompts for public viewing; and

a controller configured for controlling the internal information prompting device and the external information prompting device to give the same information prompts simultaneously.
