Abstract

This application discloses a vision protection imaging system and method. The system comprises: an adjustable lens module, configured to form an image of an object viewed by an eye; an imaging parameter adjustment module, configured to adjust an imaging parameter of the adjustable lens module according to a time pattern and an adjustment criterion; and a lens adjustment module, configured to adjust the adjustable lens module according to the imaging parameter. In the system and method of this application, an imaging parameter of the adjustable lens module is adjusted according to a time pattern and an adjustment criterion, so that an optical system of an eye is adjusted accordingly as well, thereby exercising the eye. Besides, the system and method have low costs, are easy to implement, and do not affect work, study, entertainment, or the like being currently performed by a user.

Claims

1. A system, comprising:

an adjustable lens module configured to form an image of an object determined to be viewed by an eye;

an imaging parameter adjustment module configured to periodically adjust at least one imaging parameter of the adjustable lens module according to a preset time period and an adjustment criterion, wherein the adjustment criterion comprises;

periodically changing the at least one imaging parameter of the adjustable lens module within a set adjustment range; and

a lens adjustment module configured to adjust the adjustable lens module according to the at least one imaging parameter.

2. The system of claim 1, wherein the at least one imaging parameter of the adjustable lens module comprises a focal distance of the adjustable lens module.

3. The system of claim 1, wherein the at least one imaging parameter of the adjustable lens module comprises an optical axis direction of the adjustable lens module.

4. The system of claim 1, wherein the imaging parameter adjustment module comprises:

a period setting unit enabling setting of the preset time period.

5. The system of claim 1, further comprising:

a user data obtaining module configured to obtain data about a user of the system based on a user identity determined by the system.

6. The system of claim 5, wherein the imaging parameter adjustment module is further configured to determine the time pattern and/or the adjustment criterion according to the data about the user.

7. The system of claim 5, further comprising:

a communications module configured to communicate with an external device external to the system.

8. The system of claim 1, further comprising:

an environment information obtaining module configured to obtain at least a piece of environment information.

9. The system of claim 8, wherein the imaging parameter adjustment module is further configured to determine the time pattern and/or the adjustment criterion according to at least the piece of the environment information.

10. The system of claim 1, wherein the system is a pair of glasses.

11. A method, comprising:

periodically adjusting, by a system comprising a processor, at least one imaging parameter of an adjustable lens module according to a preset time period and an adjustment criterion, wherein the adjustment criterion comprises;

periodically changing the at least one imaging parameter of the adjustable lens module within a set adjustment range, and wherein the adjustable lens module is configured to form an image of an object determined to be viewed by an eye; and

adjusting the adjustable lens module according to the at least one imaging parameter.

12. The method of claim 11, wherein the at least one imaging parameter of the adjustable lens module comprises a focal distance of the adjustable lens module.

13. The method of claim 11, wherein the at least one imaging parameter of the adjustable lens module comprises an optical axis direction of the adjustable lens module.

14. The method of claim 11, comprising rendering output from the system that enables an input to change the preset period to another period.

15. The method of claim 11, wherein the adjustment criterion comprises:

adding a time-related additional value to a value of the at least one imaging parameter of the adjustable lens module.

16. The method of claim 11, further comprising:

obtaining data about a user of the system.

17. The method of claim 16, further comprising:

determining the time pattern and/or the adjustment criterion according to the data about the user.

18. The method of claim 11, further comprising:

obtaining environment information relating to an environment of the system.

19. The method of claim 18, further comprising:

determining the time pattern and/or the adjustment criterion according to the environment information.

20. A computer readable storage device comprising executable instructions that, in response to execution, cause a system comprising a processor to perform operations, comprising:

periodically adjusting an imaging parameter of an adjustable lens module according to a preset time period and a defined criterion, wherein the defined criterion comprises periodically changing the imaging parameter of the adjustable lens module within a set adjustment range, and wherein the adjustable lens module is configured to image an object determined to be viewed from a reference point comprising an eye; and

adjusting the adjustable lens module according to the imaging parameter.

21. The computer readable storage device of claim 20, wherein the imaging parameter of the adjustable lens module comprises a focal distance of the adjustable lens module.

22. The computer readable storage device of claim 20, wherein the imaging parameter of the adjustable lens module comprises an optical axis direction of the adjustable lens module.
