RETINAL IMAGING-BASED EYE ACCOMMODATION DETECTION - A simplified explanation of the abstract

  • This abstract for appeared for US patent application number 18027400 Titled 'RETINAL IMAGING-BASED EYE ACCOMMODATION DETECTION'

Simplified Explanation

This abstract describes a technology that uses retinal imaging to assess a user's eye focus while using an electronic device. The system uses light sources to create illuminated spots on the retina, which can be detected by a sensor. The size and shape of these spots indicate the eye's focus, allowing for real-time measurement of eye accommodation. This technology can be used while a user is viewing or interacting with electronic content on the device.


Original Abstract Submitted

Some implementations disclosed herein provide systems, methods (), and devices () that use a retinal imaging technique to assess a user's eye () accommodation (i.e., focus) during use of an electronic device (), e.g., in real time. One or more light sources (--) produce one or more illuminated spots () on the retina that are detectable via a sensor (). The size and shape of the spot(s) () depend upon the eye accommodation/focus and thus are used to identify an accommodation/focus change or measure the eye's accommodation/focus. Eye accommodation may be determined in real time while a user is viewing, interacting with, or otherwise experiencing electronic content via the electronic device.
