Description
1 AO 22.01.1099 NL
Desktop device for monitoring eye health
Technical sector
The present invention relates to a desktop device that, with the help of a mobile phone of the Smartphone type to configure it, constitutes equipment for monitoring eye health.
The object of the invention is to therefore provide a device by which the user can be advised in real time about their eye health, recommending that they apply moisturising drops, take periodic breaks, modify room temperature, use humidifier devices, etc, depending on different environmental parameters, as well as time spent in front of a screen, in order to prevent, treat and control dry eye.
The device of the invention is complemented with a computer application through which ophthalmologists can analyse user information to provide them with better advice, draw up progress reports, and recommend eye exercises.
The device has its own computing capacity to process the signals from its sensors and make decisions.
In the field of practical application of the invention, i.e., the use of screens of any type, this use has increased notably both in the workplace and in the area of leisure, such that spending a long time in front of screens leads to dry eyes, affecting not only eye health but also leading to the possibility of headaches, dizziness, etc.
Although the use of eye drops and lubricating/moisturising products for the eyes is known, users are not usually aware of the need to apply said eye drops until it is too late, in other words, until the discomfort is evident, a moment that is better to avoid since that is when the damage is already done.
The desktop device for monitoring eye health contemplated herein completely and satisfactorily solves the problem set out above based on a simple but highly effective solution.
To this end, the device of the invention is embodied in a tabletop housing, in which an internal rechargeable battery is established, which powers a control circuit to which a series of sensors linked to said housing are associated.
2 AO 22.01.1099 NL
More specifically, the device has a relative humidity sensor, a light sensor, a presence sensor, a temperature sensor, as well as connection means for connecting to a mobile phone of the Smartphone type, which can be arranged on the aforementioned housing as a support for the same, such that the data obtained by these sensors are sent to the mobile phone, which manages said data via an application to make the appropriate recommendations given the conditions of each case, advice which will be determined by the indicator lights established on the desktop device, as well as optionally and additionally via the very interface of the mobile phone application.
The device connects to the mobile phone wirelessly via Bluetooth, has its own battery to be charged (the device, not the mobile phone) and has a hole in the back to make it easier to pass the mobile phone charger cable therethrough so that it can be charged elsewhere.
Thus, the device periodically sends the readings of the different sensors to the mobile phone application, which evaluates the measurements obtained, making the appropriate calculations and determining whether any of the following thresholds are exceeded: e Temperature: Greater than 27 °C or less than 10 °C. e Relative humidity: Less than 40%. e [llumination: Less than 300 lux or more than 1000 lux. e Uninterrupted presence for one hour.
Once any of these thresholds is exceeded, the application will automatically recommend that the user apply drops, take breaks, use a humidifier, modify the thermostat temperature of the room, as well as modify the lighting conditions in said room.
Regarding the user interface, the device will have indicator lights on the front portion thereof, a fatigue warning indicator light (red), a drop warning indicator light (blue) and a device status indicator light (multicolour).
In this sense, the device status indicator may indicate the device's battery level (green/red), the erasure of pairing data (cyan), power on/off status (white), or the lack of configuration (yellow).
If any of these statuses occurs, the corresponding diode will blink in the colour indicated for the status with the highest priority, such that, in the event that it is powered on, the diode will turn white for two seconds and then subsequently regain the colour of the notification with the highest priority.
3 AO 22.01.1099 NL
In addition to the indicator lights, the device has three, preferably capacitive, buttons to interact with the desktop device.
One of said buttons will be the one confirming the application of drops, so that the same is taken into account by the application.
A second button makes it possible to confirm that a break is taken to rest the eyes in front of the screen, as well as to eliminate the Bluetooth pairing by pressing and holding.
Additionally, and as is essential, the device will incorporate an on/off button.
The device will finally have a reset button that allows its operation to be restarted in the event of abnormal functioning or if it is locked.
Based on this structuring, the device will recommend that the user take two types of actions: applying drops and/or taking breaks.
These warnings are made both through the blinking of the indicator lights and through the mobile phone application itself through which it is configured.
If, after a pre-defined time, the user does not confirm carrying out the indicated action (drops/break), the device will deactivate the blinking of the corresponding light signal and record the warning as ignored.
Thus, the recommendation for applying drops is made according to the configuration made in the application. This configuration is mandatory, such that the application does not allow the configuration of drops to be deactivated from the time it detects a connected desktop device.
The recommendation to take a break is controlled by the desktop device based on the evolution over time of the values of the room light sensors and user presence sensor. After activating the notification for the user to take a break, a time of 30 minutes is established during which no new notifications to take a break are generated. After this time, the timer is restarted to generate new notifications to take a break.
As for the device's battery, it can be recharged via a connection port established in its housing.
As for the computer application, it will allow connection to Big Data platforms in the cloud, with the aim of allowing ophthalmologists to analyse user information to provide them with better advice, draw up progress reports, and recommend eye exercises.
4 AO 22.01.1099 NL
As is evident, the device must be implemented in such a way that the presence sensor is in a direct line of sight with the user, such that the light sensor is not located in shaded areas and it is far from sources of heat/cold, to ensure that its readings are as reliable as possible.
As a complement to the description provided below, and for the purpose of helping to make the features of the invention more readily understandable, according to a practical preferred exemplary embodiment thereof, said description is accompanied by a set of plans which, by way of illustration and not limitation, represent the following:
Figure 1 shows a front elevation view of a desktop device for monitoring eye health made according to the object of the present invention.
Figure 2 shows a profile view of the device of the previous figure.
Figure 3 shows a rear elevation view of the device of Figures 1 and 2.
Figure 4 lastly shows a perspective view of the device linked to a mobile phone of the
Smartphone type.
With reference to the figures discussed above, it can be seen how the device of the invention is made from a tabletop housing (1), in which a rechargeable battery is established through a connection port (2), which powers an electrical control circuit, with wireless connection means for connecting to a mobile phone (3) of the Smartphone type, preferably via Bluetooth, which may include a wired connector (4) for physical connection to said phone, as well as for recharging it, having a support (5) formally and dimensionally suitable to stably receive said mobile phone (3) to do so.
Thus, according to the essence of the invention, the device has a relative humidity sensor (6), a light sensor (7), a presence sensor (8) and a temperature sensor (9) associated with the control electronics, which measurements are interpreted by a programming software installed on the mobile phone (3), from which said measures are managed to make the appropriate recommendations given the conditions of each case via indicator lights established on the front face of the housing (1).
The communication used will preferably be of the Bluetooth type, with a pairing process to provide secure encrypted communication between both devices.
AO 22.01.1099 NL
Once this connection is configured for the first time, the device will automatically connect to the mobile phone when it is within the Bluetooth range of coverage.
Thus, the device periodically sends the readings of the different sensors to the mobile phone application, which evaluates the measurements obtained, making the appropriate 5 calculations and determining whether any of the thresholds of temperature, humidity, light or time being present is exceeded, such that once any of these thresholds is exceeded, the application will automatically recommend that the user apply drops, take breaks, use a humidifier, modify the thermostat temperature of the room, as well as modify the lighting conditions in said room.
To this end, a fatigue warning indicator light (10), preferably red, and a drop warning indicator (11), preferably blue, and a device status indicator (12), multicolour, are established in the housing (1).
The device has a button for confirming the application of drops (13), a button for confirming that a break is taken (14), and an on/off button (15) and a reset button (16).
Finally, it only remains to point out that, as mentioned previously, the device will be able to send the collected information through its sensors and via the application installed on the mobile phone to databases and/or applications so that they can be remotely analysed by professionals who are experts in the field, in order to generate the most appropriate recommendations for each case, create medical records and statistics, provide visual therapies through documents such as electronic files with instructions that are sent to the user’s mobile phone, etc.
