Smart Goggle: A Device to ascertain DES (Digital Eye Strain)

Objective: This invention is very useful in the current scenario, where Digital Eye Strain (DES) is a common delinquent among people that using digital devices for more than permissible time. The objective behind this invention to ascertain DES at regular intervals or at an early stage so that required remedial solutions can be taken or reversals can be executed to save our eyes. Background: The device is based on the system that will detect eye strain symptom like traceable (Eye blinking rate, Redness in eyes, eye squeezing and eye itching) and non-traceable (Eye Pain, Watery eyes, blurred vision, headache) symptoms due to continuous use of digital devices and generate an alert if these symptoms are present. The system is now installed in a device to identify the strain. Device is called “Smart Goggle”. Method: The system is executed through various steps. Firstly, the system captures the video through camera and store in a module. The video will be divided into frames. The system will check the presence of traceable (Blink Rate, Redness, Squeezing, and Itching) factors in frames. If one of the traceable factor is present then system will check for another input to get non traceable (Eye Pain, Watery Eyes, Blurred vision and headache) factor from the user through input. Both the inputs are then passed into Machine Learning algorithm (Bayesian classification) to predict the eye strain. If eye strain is predicted by the classifier, then an alert is sent on user’s machine to intimate about eye strain status Application: The use of digital devices to execute their social and professional purposes is now quite normal. Due to this, occurrence of DES (Digital Eye Strain) or CVS (Computer Vision Syndrome) has increased few folds in almost all generations from the kinder garden student (who watches rhymes and stories online) to a senior citizen (who executes its financial transactions through mobile or computer). Between these two all other generations are using digital devices for some or the other purposes. As digital devices are very popular among all ages so there is a need of this “Smart Goggle” among all age groups to detect their DES at early stage.
