Abstract

An eye-controlled communication system comprises an eye controlled aid and a visiting aid. The eye controlled aid has an eye controlled module, a first display module and a first processing unit. The eye controlled module detects eye movements of patient, generates a control command based on the detected results and then transmits to the first processing unit. The first processing unit bases the control command to allow patient to operate the first operator interface by using eye movements. The first processing unit generate an execute command according to the operating results, and performs the execute command, wherein the execute command includes information of transmitting messages to the second processing unit. The second processing unit receives the execute command and performs the execute command. Thus, the system of the present invention can help patient to easily express himself or herself to his or her family members or friends.

Claims

1. An eye-controlled communication system, comprising:

an eye controlled aid, having a first display module, a first processing unit, an eye controlled module, the first processing unit electrically connected with the first display module and the eye controlled module, the eye controlled module detecting eye movements, generating a control command based on detected eye movements and transmitting the control command to the first processing unit; and

a visiting aid, having a second display module and a second processing unit, the second processing unit electrically connected with the second display module;

wherein the first processing unit bases on the control command transmitted from the eye controlled module to allow users to operate a first operator interface displayed on the first display module by using eye movements so that the first processing unit generates an execute command with an information according to operating results and transmits the execute command to the second processing unit; and

wherein the second processing unit receives the execute command transmitted from the first processing unit and performs the execute command.

2. The eye-controlled communication system of claim 1, wherein the information of the execute command transmitted from the first processing unit includes text message, and the second processing unit drives the second display module to display the text message thereon after receiving the execute command transmitted from the first processing unit.

3. The eye-controlled communication system of claim 1, wherein the first processing unit is connected with the second processing unit by wireless communication or network communication.

4. The eye-controlled communication system of claim 1, wherein the second processing unit generates a second operator interface displayed on a second screen of the second display module that allows users to enter a message so that the second processing unit transmits the message to the first processing unit, and the first process unit receives the message and drives a first screen of the first display module to display the message thereon.

5. The eye-controlled communication system of claim 4, wherein the eye controlled aid further comprises a third display module electrically connected with the first processing unit;

the first processing unit generating a third operator interface displayed on a third screen of the third display module to allow users to enter a message so that the first processing unit drives the first screen of the first display module to display the message from the third operator interface thereon.

6. The eye-controlled communication system of claim 4, wherein the eye controlled aid further comprises a main post;

the first processing unit located inside of the main post;

the first display module and the third display module are respectively connected with two sides of the main post.

7. The eye-controlled communication system of claim 6, wherein the eye controlled aid further comprises a first movable frame and a second movable frame;

the first movable frame having two ends respectively connected with the first display module and one side of the main post;

the second movable frame has two ends respectively connected with the third display module and another side of the main post;

the first movable frame having several cantilevers, each of the cantilevers connected with each other and being capable of rotating relative to each other.

8. An eye-controlled communication system, comprising:

an eye controlled aid, having a first display module, a first processing unit, an eye controlled module and a third display module, the first processing unit electrically connected with the first display module, the third display module and the eye controlled module, the eye controlled module detecting eye movements, generating a control command based on detected eye movements and transmitting the control command to the first processing unit; and

a visiting aid, having a second display module and a second processing unit, the second processing unit electrically connected with the second display module;

wherein the first processing unit bases on the control command transmitted from the eye controlled module to allow users to operate a first operator interface displayed on the first display module by using eye movements so that the first processing unit generates an execute command with information according to operating results and transmits the execute command to the second processing unit; and

wherein the second processing unit receives the information of the execute command transmitted from the first processing unit and displays the information on the second display module.

9. The eye-controlled communication system of claim 8, wherein the second processing unit generates a second operator interface displayed on a second screen of the second display module that allows users to enter a message so that the second processing unit transmits the message to the first processing unit, and the first process unit receives the message and drives a first screen of the first display module to display the message thereon.

10. The eye-controlled communication system of claim 8, wherein the first processing unit generates a third operator interface displayed on a third screen of the third display module to allow users to enter a message so that the first processing unit drives the first screen of the first display module to display the message transmitted from the third operator interface.

11. An eye-controlled communication system, comprising:

a main post;

a processing unit, located in the main post;

two display modules, respectively movably connected with the main post to adjust positions and angles of the two display modules, the two display modules electrically connected with the processing unit; and

an eye controlled module, located in one of the two display modules and electrically connected with the processing unit, the eye controlled module detecting eye movements, generating a control command based on detected eye movements and transmitting the control command to the processing unit;

wherein the processing unit generates an operator interface displayed on a screen of one of the two display modules, the processing unit bases on the control command transmitted from the eye controlled module to allow users to operate an operator interface displayed on one of the two display modules by using eye movements so that the processing unit generates an execute command with an information according to operating results and drives the other display module to display the information of the execute command on a screen of the display module.

12. The eye-controlled communication system of claim 11, wherein the processing unit generates another operator interface displayed on a screen of another one display module to allow users to enter a message so that the processing unit drives the screen of one of the two display modules to display the message thereon.
