Vision protection method and systems thereof
First Claim
1. A system for eyesight protection of a viewer of an electronic device, comprising:
- a display;
a camera mounted relative to the display for imaging a viewer in front of the display;
a control module coupled to the display and the camera to;
(a) detect a viewer in front of the display;
(b) initiate a working mode wherein;
i) the display presents working information to the viewer;
ii) the control module triggers a timer counting down a predetermined working time period for the working mode;
iii) the control module monitors one or more parameters of an eye of the viewer using the camera, the one or more parameters comprising monitoring a blinking rate of the eye of the viewer;
iv) the control module analyzes images from the camera to detect a sitting posture of the viewer; and
v) the control module monitors ambient light intensity of the electronic device;
(c) during the working mode, if the control module determines that the blinking rate falls below a predetermined threshold, the control module detects an improper sitting posture of the viewer, or the ambient light intensity is detected below a preset ambient light threshold, a warning is presented on the display.

Abstract
A vision protection method is provided to ensure a viewer to rest his/her eyes after viewing on an electronic device for a certain period, wherein the eyesight protection method includes the steps of detecting at least one of eye activities of the viewer and working parameter of the electronic device in a working mode of the electronic device during the viewer is working on a current work displaying by the electronic device; switching the working mode of the electronic device to a resting mode when an abnormal eye activity of the viewer is detected; and switching the electronic device from the resting mode back to the working mode to resume the display of the current work of the electronic device. Therefore, the viewer is enforced to rest his/her eyes after every certain period.

4. A system for eyesight protection of a viewer of an electronic device, comprising:
-
a display; a camera mounted relative to the display for imaging a viewer in front of the display; a control module coupled to the display and the camera to; (a) detect a viewer in front of the display; (b) initiate a working mode wherein; i) the display presents working information to the viewer; ii) the control module triggers a timer counting down a predetermined working time period for the working mode; and iii) the control module monitors one or more parameters of an eye of the viewer using the camera, the one or more parameters comprising monitoring a blinking rate of the eye of the viewer; (c) during the working mode, if the control module determines that the blinking rate falls below a predetermined threshold, a warning is presented on the display; (d) after the predetermined working time has lapsed, switch the working mode of the electronic device to a resting mode for protecting the viewer from excessive usage of the electronic device; and (e) switch the electronic device from the resting mode back to the working mode to resume the display of working information on the display after the predetermined resting time has elapsed. - View Dependent Claims (5, 6, 7, 8, 9)

10. A method for eyesight protection of a viewer of an electronic device including a display, a camera oriented towards a viewer in front of the display, and a control module coupled to the camera and the display, the method comprising:
-
(a) detecting, by the control module, a viewer in front of the display; (b) initiating, by the control module, a working mode wherein; i) the display presents working information to the viewer; ii) the control module triggers a timer counting down a predetermined working time period for the working mode; and iii) the control module monitors one or more parameters of an eye of the viewer using the camera, the one or more parameters comprising monitoring a blinking rate of the eye of the viewer; iv) the control module analyzes images from the camera to detect a sitting posture of the viewer; and v) the control module monitors ambient light intensity of the electronic device; (c) during the working mode, if the control module determines that the blinking rate falls below a predetermined threshold, the control module detects an improper sitting posture of the viewer, or the ambient light intensity is detected below a preset ambient light threshold, presenting a warning on the display. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16)
