Abstract

In some embodiments, a method for modulating the display screen of a first client device may include the steps of: associating an access code with an incentive descriptor, with an alert threshold, and with an incentive redeemer in a system database; receiving the access code from the first client device; displaying the incentive descriptor associated with the access code in the system database on the display screen of the first client device; providing alerts on the display screen of the first client device at set time intervals when the display screen of the first client device is active; displaying the incentive redeemer on the display screen of the first client device in response to the number of alerts provided via the first client device meeting the number of alerts in the alert threshold.

Claims

1. A method for modulating the display screen of a first client device of a patient, the method comprising the steps of:

the patient receiving an access code with the first client device;

associating the access code with a vision care provider in a system database;

displaying an incentive descriptor associated with the access code and associated with the vision care provider on the display screen of the first client device wherein the vision care provider created the incentive descriptor and wherein the incentive descriptor comprises at least one of (i) the name of the vision care provider and (ii) a vision care incentive;

providing alerts on the display screen of the first client device at set time intervals;

displaying an incentive redeemer unique to the vision care provider on the display screen of the first client device in response to the first client device reaching an alert threshold and wherein the incentive redeemer is configured to be redeemed with the vision care provider only upon the patient'"'"'s first client device triggering the alert threshold;

transmitting information describing the first client device of the patient to a second client device accessible by the vision care provider; and

wherein a first time period is provided between a first alert and a second alert and a second time period is provided between the second alert and a third alert, the first time period being less than the second time period.

2. The method of claim 1, wherein the alerts are displayed on a portion of the display screen of the first client device.

3. The method of claim 2, wherein the alerts disrupt the display of information displayed on the display screen.

4. The method of claim 3, wherein input is required to be provided to the first client device to cease the display of an alert and resume the display of information displayed on the display screen prior to the display of the alert.

5. The method of claim 1, wherein the alerts are provided in cycles of a first time period and a second time period, wherein the first time period is between 15 and 25 minutes, and wherein the second time period is between 15 and 25 seconds.

6. The method of claim 1, wherein the incentive descriptor includes contact information for the second user which is displayed on the first client device of the patient.

7. The method of claim 1, wherein the alerts provided via the first client device include a message describing how to prevent computer vision syndrome symptoms.

8. A method for modulating the display screen of a first client device of a patient, the method comprising the steps of:

the patient receiving an access code with the first client device;

associating the access code with a vision care provider in a system database;

displaying an incentive descriptor associated with the access code and associated with the vision care provider on the display screen of the first client device wherein the vision care provider created the incentive descriptor and wherein the incentive descriptor comprises at least one of (i) the name of the vision care provider and (ii) a vision care incentive;

providing alerts on the display screen of the first client device at set time intervals;

displaying an incentive redeemer unique to the vision care provider on the display screen of the first client device in response to the first client device reaching an alert threshold and wherein the incentive redeemer is configured to be redeemed with the vision care provider only upon the patient'"'"'s first client device triggering the alert threshold;

transmitting information describing the first client device of the patient to a second client device accessible by the vision care provider; and

wherein a second incentive descriptor is created by the vision care provider, transmitted to the system database, and displayed on the first client device of the patient and a second incentive redeemer is displayed on the first client device after a second alert threshold is reached by the first client device.

9. A method for modulating the display screen of a first client device of a patient, the method comprising the steps of:

the patient receiving an access code with the first client device;

associating the access code with a vision care provider in a system database;

displaying an incentive descriptor associated with the access code and associated with the vision care provider on the display screen of the first client device wherein the vision care provider created the incentive descriptor and wherein the incentive descriptor comprises at least one of (i) the name of the vision care provider and (ii) a vision care incentive;

providing alerts on the display screen of the first client device at set time intervals;

displaying an incentive redeemer unique to the vision care provider on the display screen of the first client device in response to the first client device reaching an alert threshold and wherein the incentive redeemer is configured to be redeemed with the vision care provider only upon the patient'"'"'s first client device triggering the alert threshold;

transmitting information describing the first client device of the patient to a second client device accessible by the vision care provider; and

wherein the incentive redeemer is provided on the display screen of the first client device for a time period, and wherein the incentive redeemer is locked from the first client device after the time period or upon being redeemed with the vision care provider.
