SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR ENCRYPTING AND TRANSMITTING DATA BETWEEN DEVICES - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18396603 titled 'SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR ENCRYPTING AND TRANSMITTING DATA BETWEEN DEVICES

The abstract describes a system for securely transmitting prescription data between devices for the creation and calibration of prescription lenses.

• Prescription data is encrypted and transmitted to the lens manufacturer.
• The manufacturer creates a prescription lens and calibration data, which is encrypted and stored.
• The calibration data can be retrieved by a second electronic device for full calibration.
• The second device can display images using the prescription lens according to the calibration data.

Potential Applications: - Secure transmission of sensitive medical data - Efficient creation and calibration of prescription lenses - Enhanced display quality for electronic devices

Problems Solved: - Ensuring the security of prescription data during transmission - Streamlining the process of creating and calibrating prescription lenses - Improving the accuracy of image display on electronic devices

Benefits: - Enhanced privacy and security for prescription data - Faster and more accurate creation of prescription lenses - Improved display quality and user experience on electronic devices

Commercial Applications: - Medical device manufacturing - Optometry practices - Electronic device manufacturers

Questions about the technology: 1. How does the encryption process ensure the security of the prescription data during transmission? 2. What are the potential challenges in implementing this system in different electronic devices?

Original Abstract Submitted

Encrypting and securely transmitting data between devices is disclosed. After a device obtains a request to purchase a prescription lens, including prescription data, to be inserted into a second electronic device, the prescription data is securely encrypted and transmitted to the lens manufacturer. The lens manufacturer may create a prescription lens and calibration data related to the lens. The calibration data can be encrypted and transmitted to a storage device for storage. The second electronic device can retrieve the encrypted calibration data from the storage device and utilize it to perform a full calibration of the device. The second electronic device can present images, in accordance with the calibration data, using a display through an optical path that include the prescription lens.
