Abstract

An eye-control reminding method, an eye-control image display method and a display system are provided. The eye-control reminding method includes: detecting information related to an eye of a user in real time; comparing the information related to an eye of the user with a preset value; and determining eye-in-use status of the user according to the comparison result. When the comparison result is a set status, the user is reminded. Embodiments of the present invention may remind the user to protect eyes or focus attention, or can realize automatic adjustment of display contents and settings for viewing status of the user.

C. a number of times of abnormal blinks of the user in a third preset time is greater than a preset number of times;

D. a duration for which a distance between an eye of the user and a screen is smaller than a preset distance is greater than a fourth preset time;

E. continuous viewing time of the user is greater than a fifth preset time; and

F. a duration for which an eye of the user stares in a set direction is greater than a sixth preset time.

8. The eye-control image display method of claim 6, wherein the comparison result comprises a set status comprising at least one selected from the group consisting of A˜

F, wherein,

A. a duration for which a tilt angle of a line connecting two eyes of the user relative to a horizontal line is greater than a preset angle is longer than a first preset time;

B. a duration of incapability of detecting eyes of the user is longer than a second preset time;

C. a number of times of abnormal blinks of the user in a third preset time is greater than a preset number of times;

D. a duration for which a distance between an eye of the user and a screen is smaller than a preset distance is greater than a fourth preset time;

E. continuous viewing time of the user is greater than a fifth preset time; and

F. a duration for which an eye of the user stares in a set direction is greater than a sixth preset time.

9. The eye-control image display method of claim 5, wherein the controlling image display status comprises at least one selected from the group consisting of pausing image display, displaying a prompt message, displaying a screen protection image and normally displaying images.
